First Floor Lobby: Sunday afternoon

[anextimeagent]

Finals started tomorrow, so Jack was - surprisingly enough - studying.

He was doing it in a very Jack way, though. He'd claimed the biggest couch in the first floor lobby as his own and was currently sprawled across it, shirtless, sucking on a lollipop while he flipped through a textbook.

Propped up at each end of the couch was

Jaye had been coming back from a couple errands,but she's got to stop at the table. "Seriously?" she grins.

[anextimeagent]

"Seriously." Jack grinned as he looked up from his book. "How could licking a Seahorse not be lucky?"

[fates_jaye]

"You have a point," she says, considering this. "Does this mean I'm naturally going to pass all my finals?"

[anextimeagent]

Jack made a show of giving it some thought. "Welll, nothing's ever one hundred percent certain," he said slowly. "Maybe you want to get in some last minute licking for luck? Just to be on the safe side?"

Mac was making her way back from brunch in town, and seeing a sign like that? She couldn't very well not stop, could she?

"Licking seahorses?" Mac asked skeptically. "Well, there's one I've never heard before."

[anextimeagent]

"Really?" Jack sat up straight, smiling innocently. "It's a fine old Fandom tradition, corollary to Shirtless Day. That's at the beginning of the term, Seahorse licking at the end. It's very lucky."

[imac_kenzie]

"Uh-huh," Mac nodded. "This place has some really bizarre superstitions," she said.

[anextimeagent]

"This place is really bizarre, full stop," Jack laughed. He leaned over and scooped a seahorse lollipop out of the box. "Here you go," he said, offering it to her with a grin. "Lick a Seahorse!"

[chasingsnitches]

Cedric wandered up and laughed at the sign. "Is this innuendo or are you actually wanting people to lick aquatic animals?"

[anextimeagent]

"A little of both, with a side order of not quite," he laughed, sitting up to grin at Cedric. "Lick a Seahorse today, be lucky in your Finals tomorrow, although," his grin got wider, "on that scale, you've probably got all the luck you need."

[chasingsnitches]

He blushed and managed to laugh at the same time. "And on that note, you probably have enough luck to last you several decades."

[anextimeagent]

"Centuries, even," he teased. "Licking Seahorses, at least certain of them, might just be one of my favourite things." He flashed Cedric another grin, then reached into the box, sorting through the lollipops until he had one of every flavour. "For you, Seahorses to lick for luck!"

[lovelylana]

Lana wandered past on her way out and smiled at him. "Is the Seahorse licking referring to the lollipops or are they supposed to be the treats for after?"

[anextimeagent]

"It can refer to whatever your little heart desires," Jack replied from his comfortable sprawl on the couch, smirking at her. "Help yourself to either."

[lovelylana]

"Oh, I think one of those might be asking for big trouble," Lana said with a bit of a blush.

[anextimeagent]

"Might be worth it," he mused, but pulled a lollipop out of the box. "For you, one Seahorse of your very own to lick."

[l1ttle_billy]

Billy noted the scene. "Uh....huh." he said skeptically.

[anextimeagent]

"It's Fandom." Jack grinned. "Licking Seahorses for luck isn't even close to the most bizarre thing that this place has offered."

[l1ttle_billy]

"Good point. But, thanks all the same Jack, you're...just not my type."

[anextimeagent]

"Now how do you know if you've never tried? I'm everybody's type. Five minutes and I could change your mind." But he was snickering, a lot, as he pulled a lollipop out of the box and offered it to Billy.
