Third Floor Common Room - Saturday Morning

[wantstocheer]

Claire was still in an excellent mood after her conversation with Jon last night. She decided to pass on the trip into the city and instead headed for the common room to make breakfast in an effort to meet some new people

Elle shuffled down the hall from her room, wearing her robe and holding Bruiser. Someone somewhere was making breakfast. She took a few steps into the big room and looked towards the kitchen area at the girl there.

"Hi," she said, cheerfully enough, if minus the perky. "Do we make our own breakfast here?"

[wantstocheer]

"You can if you want to," Claire said. "But I'm making pancakes for whoever wants them."

[awalkingfelony]

"Aw, that's really sweet of you," she said, smiling and walking in further. "I'm Elle Woods and this is Bruiser Woods. We're just down the hall in room 326."

[wantstocheer]

"I'm Claire Butler," she replied. "I live in 312. Nice to meet you. Help yourself. There should be juice and milk in the fridge. And there's tea and coffee in the cupboards if you want to make some."

Hurley was on his way to work when he smelled the pancakes.

This did make him stop in to snag some.

"Dude, awesome," he said.

[wantstocheer]

Claire grinned. "Hey, Hurley," she said. "Help yourself to some pancakes."

[likes_chicken]

"I was gonna," Hurley said with a chuckle. "But you probably knew that."

"Well, I figured you weren't here for the movie," Claire joked, completely forgetting the little white lie she had told him about being able to read minds.

Arthur was generally not one to be around the common room when the television was on, but he had smelled food. So far, no one had poisoned him with common room food yet, and with any luck, that streak would keep up.

"Morning. What's that you're eating?"

He wasn't going to pass comment on the colouring.

[wantstocheer]

"They're pancakes," Claire said. "And I have strawberry, blueberry or whipped topping. Or you use all three to make them patriotic."

[bitch_prince]

"Patriotic?"

He was just going to be over there, examining the food. "Ah. Of course. Your national colours."

Those were the shades of their flag. Right.

[wantstocheer]

"Yes, today is the day we celebrate our independence," Claire explained. "I guess no one mentioned that?"

[new_to_liirness]

Liir was back again, this time without the dog. He just had his notebook, which he scribbled in furiously even as he walked. He almost managed to walk right into the couch that way but swerved at the last second before flopping onto the cushion.

"G'morning," he said absently, to whoever might be there. If no one was there, well, he'd greet the other couch.

[wantstocheer]

"Morning, Liir," Claire said. "Would you like some pancakes?"

[new_to_liirness]

He looked up at the greeting to give Claire a faint smile. It was about all he was up to at the moment.

"If you wouldn't mind. No lapwarmer this morning so I should be able to retrieve them myself. Thank you."

[wantstocheer]

"I can eat a lot," Claire said. "But not this much. Help yourself."

She did catch the faint smile though. "Is everything okay?"

[yakkoyaks]

Yakko ran into the common room and suddenly stopped.

"It's that time again!" After a brief pause, he continued, as if addressing someone who wasn't there. "No, it's time to learn the day's lesson! And to find out what it is, we turn to... The Wheel of Morality!" Yakko motioned towards the door, where a large wheel with 'The Wheel of Morality' written on it in huge letters drifted in.

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn," Yakko recited as he spun the wheel. "Tell us the lesson that we should learn." As the spinning wheel slowed down, it landed on the Lose a Turn. "Awwwwwww," Yakko said, disappointed. He shrugged, darted out of the room, and the wheel disappeared out into the hallway a moment later.

[wantstocheer]

Claire... kind of stared. She was going to offer Yakko pancakes, but... apparently he wasn't interested.

Elle practically jumped out of her slippers. "Omigod!"
