4th Floor Common Room: Sunday evening [8-24-08]

[lovelylana]

Lana was trying very hard not to think about this being her last weekend in Fandom. So, once she'd moved her things back to her room, she'd headed out to the common room and settled herself down to watch the last of the Olympics. There was popcorn and fruit at present and she was seriously considering making some spaghetti later.

[Open!]

Comments

Peter poked his head into the common room. "Tell me I haven't missed the Closing Ceremonies."

[lovelylana]

"Not yet," she said with a smile. "Come sit. I think I'm going to make spaghetti later so it will be good to have company."

[repeterpetrelli]

"Lemme know if I can help," Peter said. He took a seat. "I can boil water with the best of 'em. So any guesses as to what might happen? I've been avoiding the news so I wouldn't get spoiled."

[lovelylana]

"You're in charge of the water boiling then," Lana said with a smile. "And no, I have no idea what's going to happen. Looking forward to it though."

[repeterpetrelli]

"Let's make predictions," Peter said. "Like at least a thousand mentions of Michael Phelps. Maybe in the first hour alone."

[lovelylana]

"And at least ten mentions of how the Chinese gymnasts have to be underage," she said with a smile.

[repeterpetrelli]

"What're the odds about bad British jokes?" Peter asked. "Like maybe attempts at cockney slang in honor of 2012?"

[lovelylana]

"I think they're more likely to try snooty upper class accents and throw in comments about Prince Charles and the boys."

[repeterpetrelli]

"And some mention of tea and/or crumpets," Peter agreed.

[lovelylana]

"Maybe clotted cream and scones," she said with a grin.

[repeterpetrelli]

"I'm going to guess that, other than the gymnasts, we won't hear much mention of controversies," Peter said.

[lovelylana]

"No, this did seem to be a relatively controversy free Olympics, which was nice," Lana admitted.

[repeterpetrelli]

"I liked when atheletes were so good you could get behind them no matter what country they were from," Peter said. "That's always fun."

[lovelylana]

"Yeah, me too," Lana said with a smile. "It's nice not having all the political controversy."

[repeterpetrelli]

"Or doping controversy," Peter said.

[lovelylana]

"Yes! I don't think I've heard about that even once!" Lana said with a grin. "I hadn't even thought about it."
