5th Floor Common Room - Thursday Evening

[notlikejack]

Bobby was still uncomfortable enough in The Room He Shared With A Girl that he didn't want to just hang out in there to study. Because he was totally enough of a geek to be studying during the first week of classes

Jason wasn't big on hanging out in the common rooms, but when he heard the sound of cartoons, he gave in to the urge to peek his head in to see what was being watched. It had been almost a week, and seeing Bobby still hadn't gotten any less strange, but at least he didn't bring out an immediate urge to glare like Percy did.

"Hey," he said from the doorway. "What are you up to?"

[notlikejack]

"Hi!" Bobby looked up with a big smile for Jason. "I've got hot pockets." He tried to slide his biology book away. Somehow he didn't think Jason would think studying was all that cool. "Want one?"

"Uh, sure," Jason said, willing to let himself be distracted by food for the moment. "Do you know how to warm them up, or are they still cold in the middle?"

[notlikejack]

Bobby stared at Jason. "...why wouldn't I warm them up?"

The smell of food called to Nico somehow. Though the look of them was odd, Nico didn't turn down potential junk food. Especially not in this McDonald's-free zone.

Then he spotted the kid and all thoughts of food were put on hold. "I would think you were a shrunken Percy, but I'm not certain he can read." Son of Poseidon and all.

[notlikejack]

Bobby looked up at Nico with a near frown. "I'm not Percy! Percy's a stupid name."

[deaths_demigod]

Oh yeah, Nico liked this kid already. "His full name's Perseus. I'd say that's even worse."

[notlikejack]

"Perseus? Like in the constellation?" he asked. "I mean, I guess it's cool there. If you're gonna be the king of Mycenae."

Jack hadn't found Bobby in his room, so he checked the next likely place - where the food was. "I can't think of anything you could possibly be studying."

[notlikejack]

He looked up sheepishly. "...I'm reading. Comics."

Bobby really should know better than to try to pull that one.

[notlikebobby]

He tilted his head to show he didn't believe a word Bobby said. He dropped down onto a nearby seat. "No one's going to get on your case if you don't study the first week."

[notlikejack]

"Mom'll know," Bobby informed him. "Then she'll yell at both of us. I'm just trying to save you." Or he really wanted to study.

This wasn't Kitty's floor, but she didn't care. There were new kids out, and she figured the best way to meet them would be to wander out some. Like so!

"Hey there," she said with a smile.

[notlikejack]

Bobby looked up and waved at the new person. "Hi! I'm Bobby McCallister. What's your name?"

[notavalleygirl]

"Kitty Pryde. So you're the other Bobby," she grinned, finding a seat.

[notlikejack]

He frowned a little. "I'm not the other Bobby."

Momoko was lured to the common room by the sound of the tv. Or maybe she was guided by her grumbling stomach? Either way, she was there.

"Hi!" She cheerily called out to the room in general as she made her way to the cabinets to see if she had to hit up the third floor one what there was for snacking. "What's on tv tonight? Ah! There's Oreos! Awesome!"

[notlikejack]

"Oooh, can I have one of your oreos?" Bobby asked hopefully. "I'll trade you a Hot Pocket."

[heromaniac]

"They're not my oreos, they're everyones! They were in the cupboard!" Momoko grinned, poured herself a glass of milk, then walked over. "But I totally won't turn down a hot pocket - what fillings do you have?" She offered him the open package.

[notlikejack]

"They're the pizza ones," Bobby told her, helping himself to a handful of oreos. "They're the best. Unless you get some of the sweet ones, but then you should just eat a Pot Tart."
