2nd floor common room ; saturday morning

[necroslacker]

Sam wasn't really a fan of being up this early. He couldn't say what'd woken him up either. It hadn't been a nightmare because he remembered those vividly and it hadn't been a visit from Brooke or Ashley either. He'd just...woken up and hadn't been able to get back to sleep

Something weird was going on. That much, Toby had been able to deduce from the rather constant stream of mental WTFing, shrieking, or annoyed resignation that had served as his wake up call this morning.

But right now all he really wanted was some freaking cereal, and the second floor common room always seemed to have a better selection in the cupboards.

"Hey man," he greeted as he wandered over to the kitchenette.

"Morning, Toby," Sam said, waving at him with his spoon. "What's got you up so early?"

[godgavemecable]

"Is it early? Huh." Toby asked with a frown. He hadn't really checked the time when he'd finally woken up, as distracted as he was. "Just... hungry, I guess." Which was a lie. He was hungry, but that hadn't been what had woken him up.

[necroslacker]

"Early on a Saturday morning, even," Sam replied, nodding. "You must have really been hungry. I'd offer to share the gourmet breakfast I cooked with you but I didn't cook and it wouldn't be gourmet if I did. I think there's some cereal left."

"Well, you could probably make cupcakes," Toby pointed out. After a whole almost-two-months of making them every week, even Toby could manage that much. "But your floor's usually pretty good about having cereal," he admitted. And as long as nobody kicked him out for eating on a floor that wasn't his own, he was gonna continue to find the majority of his breakfasts here.

"I was saving the cupcakes for dessert," he said even if he hadn't really been planning that. "But now the surprise is out, you've ruined and I'm just gonna have a crap day because my cupcakes have been revealed. Whatever shall I do?"

Yeah, none of that was serious.

"Cry into your Captain Crunch?" Toby snickered, pulling a box of Cookie Crisp out of the cupboards. "Is this seriously cereal made of cookies?" What the hell?

[necroslacker]

"What's wrong with a cereal made of cookies?" Sam wondered, chuckling. "Would you rather eat a cereal made up of like...rice cakes or something?"

[godgavemecable]

"Ew," Toby made a face at the thought. "I don't object to cereal made of cookies, but doesn't like, the FDA or something have like, nutrition rules about what makes a healthy breakfast?"

[necroslacker]

"When did you become a health nut?" Sam asked him, amused. "That happen overnight or something? You eat something after midnight too and turn into some different Toby?"

[godgavemecable]

"Hold up," Toby scoffed. "Is the vegetarian making fun of me for possibly being concerned about healthy and unhealthy food? And no, I'm not a health nut. I've just never seen cookie cereal before." The comment about turning into someone different gave him pause, though. "There's definitely something weird in general happening again though."

[necroslacker]

"Hey, even vegetarians can be unhealthy," Sam said, scoffing in Toby's direction. "Vegetarian doesn't mean I can't eat cookie cereal. I just can't eat cookie cereal with baby back ribs on the side. Now, that'd be unhealthy."

And gross. "Weird how? Not weird how things were weird a few weekends ago, right?"

He still felt like himself, at least.

[godgavemecable]

"Kinda?" Toby admitted. "There were a lot of... very confused people waking up this morning." 'Confused' was putting it nicely. Most of them had been pissed off or freaked out.

[necroslacker]

"We're not about to be dive bombed by pissed off birds, are we?" Sam asked, wondering if they could get away with something so light. "I really don't need bird crap in my hair."

[godgavemecable]

"I dunno, it might improve it," Toby pretended to think about that. "Provide some much-needed nutrients to make it all shiny."

[necroslacker]

"Hey!" Sam exclaimed, making a face. "My hair's awesome, thanks. At least it doesn't look like someone took a weed whacker to it! I think I saw a bird nesting yours the other day."
