5th floor common room | Friday Afternoon

Since Jace had only had classes on Monday (which was quite strange for mundane schools, or so his research told him) he had spent most of the week outdoors, getting a feel for the island. The place was small but there were a lot of oddities about it. Jace guessed there was a backstory to a lot of it, but would he ask someone about it? Of course not

It was disturbing how quickly you slipped from watching no TV at all to sliding into a common room and spending hours in front of the sort of trash that made you despair for society.

"I guess that gives it points over whatever drama I found on downstairs." What her grading scale was here, who knew. Either way, she dropped into a seat.

"I think these women are more content being catty over each other's parenting skills," Jace drawled. "But they all lose, because the kids are all spoiled brats."

...said the spoiled brat.

"How long have you been watching this thing?" she wondered.

[liarallmyown]

"About forty-five minutes," he answered. "I've never seen it before."

"But your new-found love for it will last a lifetime?" she guessed, not at all seriously.

"Oh yes, I now have an emotional investment in these women," Jace said. "Especially the one that looks like a pug."
