Third Floor Common Room: Afternoon

[cantjossme]

After waking up way later than she's used to and then going for a quick jog around the island, Mel has ransacked the kitchen grabbing as much junk food as she can before settling down in front of the TV.

As she flicks on the television the first thing she comes across is the SciFi Channel marathon of The Twilight Zone The Dusk Area

Shawn flopped onto one of the sofas, and eyed the puppet. "You decide to go retro today?" he asked.

[cantjossme]

"Looked kinda creepy so I figured 'What the rut?'" Mel said with a grin. "Have we met? I'm Mel."

[justmisplaced]

"Shawn," he introduced himself in return. "And, I don't think we have."

[cantjossme]

"So does that make you new or old?" Mel asked. "'Cuz if you're not new you must have been hiding from me."

[justmisplaced]

"... I've been in hiding?" Shawn said carefully. "I'm definitely not new. Been here over a year, already," he added.

"Guess that makes you an old one, too."

[cantjossme]

"Got me beat," Mel said. "I just came here in January."

"Still, seems a bit crazy I haven't met you yet," Shawn said, slouching back against the cushions. "Gotta work on my social skillz, obviously."

[cantjossme]

"Well you're not living in a shack and looking like that unibomber guy so I'm giving you points for that."

Shawn chuckled. "I appreciate that," he said. "And hey, at least I know what it is that I need to work on, right?"

[cantjossme]

"Wearing hoodies and growing facial hair?" Mel teased.

[justmisplaced]

"Yeah. That," Shawn said with a laugh. "'Cept I think Summer would hunt me down with a razor if I ever decided to try that one."

[cantjossme]

"She might like the grizzly look. Brad Pitt had it for while, right?" Mel pointed out. "Not that it was attractive but there you go."

[justmisplaced]

"Maybe I'll give it a go, for the next week or something," Shawn said. "Just on a trial basis, obviously." Just while Summer was out of town. That worked very well.

[cantjossme]

"Can you grow a beard that fast?" Mel asked giving him a skeptical look.

[justmisplaced]

"Maybe," Shawn said with a shrug. "Might be my superpower," he pointed out.

[cantjossme]

"That has to be the most worthless superpower ever," Mel said with a laugh.
