3rd Floor Common Room: Saturday early evening [6-6-09]

[darkangelsawyer]

Peyton had tried to report for detention today, but no one else had shown up. Which seemed to be on par with the way the rest of her week had been.

Solitary, um... activities in her room hadn't helped much, so she'd headed to the common room, sprawled out on the couch in something a little more exposed than she might ordinarily wear, ordered more

Fiona was glad to settle in her own common room. When she realized Peyton was there as well, she headed right over.

"I've got a treat for you," she said with a small smile.

[darkangelsawyer]

"Oh? Where is he?" Peyton teased.

[cutsthestrings]

She laughed and sat down next to Peyton.

"Well, he couldn't come in person, but he sent me a little audio clip of some of his violin playing. I said I had an audience who'd appreciate it."

Her brother, of course.

[darkangelsawyer]

"You're kidding," Peyton said, sitting up immediately. "He sent you some of his music? I want to hear!"

Amazingly, Hannibal had emerged from his room today. He'd bypassed shaving (scruff seemed to go over well) and just ran a hand through his hair before going in search of food.

One floor down, he at least found people and wandered in, giving Peyton a wave as he did.

[darkangelsawyer]

God, he was attractive. Angela's, Angela's, Angela's....

"Hey, Hannibal," she said. "Pizza?"

[decoder_rings]

"And here I was, about to dig up some beans and celery," he said, detouring and coming to lean over the back of the couch. "What kind?"

[darkangelsawyer]

She swallowed hard. Oh, and he smelled nice too. "Uh... I couldn't decide, so I ordered about 5 different kinds. I figured somebody'd end up eating them all."

Edward bounded in, took a look at everyone, and made a quick trip towards the fridge for a cold beverage. "Greetings!"

[darkangelsawyer]

"Hey," Peyton said with a wave. Why were all the guys on this island So. Damn. Hot. "Pizza if you want some."

[defeats_buses]

"Oooh, yes I --" what was she wearing?

His eyes shot to the pizza. "Am very hungry thank you!"

Soda in hand, he grabbed a slice with his other and sat down, facing the television.

"What are you watching on the Magi-- television?"

[darkangelsawyer]

Not very much actually. About as little as she could get away with.

She pulled her gaze away from him with a struggle and turned them back to the television. "I... honestly don't know."

Still made her think of sex, though.

But she had the feeling that watching congress vote would be making her think about sex right now.

Jennifer was too cooped up in her room, she had decided. She could go out, and not end up kissing any friends. That would be good.

So, she came down to the common room and sat down.

"Hi, everyone," she said.

[darkangelsawyer]

Finally, another girl in the place. Which made one less person Peyton wanted to jump. "Hey, come on in, have some pizza."

Stop me from doing anything stupid.

[not_jaded_yet]

"Thanks," Jennifer said. "I don't think we've met yet. I'm Jennifer."

[darkangelsawyer]

"Hey, Jennifer, I'm Peyton, nice to meet you. Please come in, sit down."

Protect me from myself.

Effy was definitely feeling that cooped up and far to energized for her own good feeling, which is what was uncharacteristically driving her to seek out people tonight.

"This country is too fucking hot," she announced as she sat on one of the couches.

Well, it was honest, if a little blunt for a first greeting.

[darkangelsawyer]

"Everybody is too fucking hot," Peyton corrected.

[pastmewrong]

"That too," she allowed. Like she hadn't been noticing that a lot the last few days. More than usual.

"Enough to drive you crazy." And she'd not been having a particular dry spell.

[darkangelsawyer]

"No shit," Peyton said with feeling. "I don't know how much more of this I can take."
