Second Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[wantstodirect]

Tony had several pizzas and a few bomb bottles of soda out in the common room and was settled on the couch to watch the long-awaited new episode of Darkest Night. Tonight, they'd find out who survived last fall's cliffhanger episode! (Spoiler alert: Raymond Dark and James Taylor Grant totally survived.) Plus, they'd see Amanda Tapping guest

Dinah was there, wriggling in excitement, and kept checking the clock to see how much time was left. "Waaaay too long since the last ep." She had a huge glass of Diet Coke and a piece of pizza she was happily nomming. "And have you talked to Lee since People came out?"

[wantstodirect]

"Didn't you read all the spoilers?" Tony teased. "Yeah, we handwavily talked on Thursday and Saturday. Oh, and Sunday."

[blondecanary]

"But they could be wrong!" Dinah protested. "And awwwwww. Sweeeet." She grinned. "You guys are single-handedly keeping Skype going, aren't you."

[wantstodirect]

"Someone's gotta," Tony grinned. "How've you been doing?"

[kestrelswolf]

Long-awaited was right. Which was why Firekeeper and Blind Seer padded in to the common room and found a spot on the floor, leaning up against one of the couches.

"Finally!" she commented. Apparently hellos were passe, now.

Tony grinned. "Hi Firekeeper. Been looking forward to this?"

[kestrelswolf]

"Some," Firekeeper said, attempting to school her expression into one of indifference. And mostly failing.

"Have some pizza!" Tony said, offering her the box. "Anything cool happening in your life?"

"What up, wizard dude," Puck greeted, wandering in through the kitchen to get something to drink. It was a testament to his adjustment that he wasn't even being sarcastic or snide with that remark. "What're we watching?"

[wantstodirect]

"Darkest Night," Tony said. "Vampire detective show. Ever heard of it?"

[sexonyoursheets]

"Nope!" Puck said cheerfully. "Is it any good?"

[wantstodirect]

"It's entertaining!" Tony said. Even loyalty to Lee couldn't get him to argue that Darkest Night was quality television. "I worked on it back in Vancouver the last couple of summers. It's where I met my boyfriend."

So okay, it had been a while, but Francine wasn't going to miss the season premiere. Puhlease. Plus? Praise Jesus, she did not have chocolate spots which meant she could visit a common room without hiding her face or feeling guilty about maybe spreading them depending on how exactly that had worked which she wasn't going to think about so yay pizza and James Taylor Grant.

And cookies. Come on, like she wouldn't bring those. Oatmeal though, thank you very much.

"Hey, guys!"

[wantstodirect]

"Ooh, hi cookies!" Tony said. "Er. Hi Francine!"

[thatsamilkshake]

"Oh, I see, it's like that." Francine nodded. "Hi, pizza!"

[wantstodirect]

Tony picked up the pizza box and flapped the cover like it was talking. "Francine! Eat me!"

"Ooooh, show I have no idea what it is," Jennifer said, entering the common room. "Nice to see you again, MVP."

[wantstodirect]

"Hey!" Tony said. "It's Darkest Night, a Canadian-made vampire detective show."

[not_jaded_yet]

Jennifer made a little face at the mention of vampires, but she shook it off and smiled. "So they suck your blood after they find your missing child, eh?" she said, in the worst Canadian accent impression ever.

[wantstodirect]

"First of all," Tony said with a smile, "nope, it's a good-guy vamp. Second, please don't ever try to do a Canadian accent again."
