Fourth Floor Common Room | Afternoon | Sunday | March 6

[tripledmyself]

Between serving his detention yesterday and ending up at some career fair, Nathan thought he could count this weekend as academically productive. And, as the law said (there had to be a law about it somewhere), if you were productive one day, the next was meant to be fucking lazier than usual

Walking past the CR always meant peeking in to see who was watching what and Caroline couldn't resist stopping in.

...and almost instantly bursting into giggles when she saw the box clutched to his chest. "Hey, you found your Lucky Charms! Did you follow the rainbow to your pot of gold?"

[tripledmyself]

"Fuck you," Nathan said, giving her a very petulant frown. Of course, he didn't stop eating either. "It was the only thing I could find and I woke up starving. And if you were hoping to get yourself a handful, you can forget it now. I'm mad at you for that crack. Totally pissed."

Not really, though. He had some radical mood shifts but not that radical.

And his petulant attitude didn't stop Caroline from moving into the room to perch on the arm of the sofa. "Good thing I got my fill of breakfast cereals during breakfast time. Now I'll just have to satisfy myself by watching...what the hell are you watching, Nathan?"

[tripledmyself]

"I dunno, actually," Nathan said, glancing up at her. "This guy's been telling me to ask for forgiveness for my sins for like a half hour and I haven't yet been convinced that that's the way to go. It just seems like too much fucking trouble. Besides, sinning's so much fun. Why does this guy want to take away all my fun?"

For that, said man on the telly got a middle finger. That would definitely help. "And it's still breakfast time! I just got up like a hour ago. Breakfast is an ongoing process until I feel like putting peanut butter and jelly on bread."

After the movie theater, Kate came to the dorms, and after dumping her stuff in her rooms she decided she wanted a second go at this 'talking to the Irish' thing, which meant making the arduous trek up one set of stairs.

She was pleased to find who she was looking for in the common room, because that meant she could come in and head straight for the fridge. Yes, she had stuff stored there now. Don't be surprised, it was one of those random things she'd done while almost everyone else had been away.

"Ooh, evangelism. Just what my Sunday needed."

Cheery sarcasm was as good a greeting as any.

"I'm hoping this chubby fellow in the purple suit starts sweating so fucking much that he gets blinded and falls down the stairs," Nathan told her, grinning around a mouthful of Lucky Charms.

"Think these people that are worshiping at his fucking dick will give him extra money for that?" Nathan grinned over at her.

[vanillajello]

"They might," Kate replied agreeably, grabbing herself a pudding cup and a spoon before wandering over to his couch. "I mean, they might even think it's a miracle if he doesn't break anything."

[tripledmyself]

"If he doesn't do that, I'm waiting for him to something that convinces me to get down on my knees ask for forgiveness for all my sins," he said, raising an arm and snapping his fingers.

"So far, all I've heard about is people dying and people crying and the people in the audience keep swaying like they're about to fucking fall over and occasionally act like he's having a seizure," Nathan said, very clear in his judgments of this show.

Sov had wandered up one floor in search of company, and stopped in front of the TV. "What's this?" They asked.

[tripledmyself]

"It's the telly, mate," Nathan said. It was probably unclear whether he thought he was being helpful or sarcastic there. Hey, maybe Sov was from a fucking awful place where telly didn't exist.

[child_of_rer]

"I know that!" Sov said, not quite indignant, but almost. They might be from a place without TV, but they were learning. "What's this program?"

[tripledmyself]

"Oh! Sorry, man," he said though he didn't sound that sorry. "It's some religious show, mate. This bloke's preaching about the benefits of asking forgiveness for all your sins. Basically, he's taking all the fucking fun out of living."
