Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[godgavemecable]

Toby had just gone to get a little dinner for himself, but apparently the Chinese food place was in the middle of a 5-for-1 special. Which, well. He wasn't gonna turn down free food, but now he had entirely too much. Hence, common room, in hopes that he might be able to foist off some of this food instead of letting it go to waste

"Hey, Toby," Stephanie said as she poked her head in. Having a free-food sense wasn't a metahuman ability (at least not for her), just something you tended to cultivate when food was hard to afford at times. "Anything interesting on?"

[godgavemecable]

"A show about a woman who talks to dead people?" Toby offered, looking only slightly sheepish at being caught watching it. He had deliberately set up the food in the hopes of people coming in, after all.

[batwaffles]

". . . not necessarily the definition of interesting I had in mind, but it'll do," Stephanie decided, eyeing the food not at all subtly. "It's not all morbid and depressing, is it?"

[godgavemecable]

"Nah, it's... I think she helps them with their unfinished business, or whatever," Toby explained. "It kinda sucks you in."

This wasn't Hanna's floor, but there were people there. So she was there. "Is that Spirit Speaker?"

[batwaffles]

"And Chinese food," Stephanie said helpfully. "Am I the only one who doesn't know this show so far?"

[new_it_girl]

"Maybe? I used to watch it...like five years ago," Hanna told her.

[batwaffles]

"Clearly, I've been missing something." Stephanie perched on the arm of the couch and proceeded to flop over onto her back, feet up in the air. "Whether I've been missing anything is still up for debate, seeing as it's the first time I've seen it."

Hey, Steph, manners.

"Hi, by the way."

Bruce was just returning from several hours in the cave building his computer system from scratch, so food - if it was being shared - smelled like a good idea.

"Evening. What's on tonight?" Bruce asked, taking a glance at the spare Chinese.

[godgavemecable]

"Spirit Speaker," Toby informed him. "I'll let you guess what it's about. And yes, the food's being shared. Help yourself."

[willbethenight]

"Thanks," Bruce said. "Just as a wild guess, I'd say it's about someone who speaks to spirits. Am I close?"

[godgavemecable]

"Right on the money," Toby informed him. "You win a fortune cookie," he added, tossing one in Bruce's direction.

Topher had smelled food, which meant he was totally in. Even though this had required a journey of two flights of stairs.

"Hey," he said, flopping down on the couch with way more food than he was entitled to. "Whazzat? Looks boring."

Always the diplomat, this one.

[godgavemecable]

"Nobody's forcing you to stick around," Toby said, his eyebrow raised at both the tone and the excessive amount of food Topher had helped himself to.

[dollpocalypse]

"Yeah, but I'm hungry," Topher pointed out. "And hiding from my friend who keeps bugging me. So. She totally won't catch me up here."

Actually, Topher, the common room with food was exactly where Kenzi would look. You know, if she cared.

[godgavemecable]

"Really?" Toby smirked. "'Cause I'm betting if she knows you at all, she'd probably guess you'd head for the food."

Or... Toby might call his girlfriend and let her know somebody was hiding from her. One of those.

[ooc: OMG I THOUGHTMODDED... but I can fix if that is not cool omg.]

Richie didn't often go wandering the halls in search of food but every once in a while it just seemed like the thing to do. Tonight was one of those times.

"Got any eggrolls?" he asked. The food was for sharing, right? The food was always for sharing. That was how this worked.

[godgavemecable]

"Like a dozen," Toby pointed. "And yes, it's for sharing."

[richieryan]

"Awesome," Richie said, grinning. "Sesame chicken?" Shameless, when it came to mooching off of other people's food, was Richie.

"You usually feed half the dorm, or were you just really hungry?"

[godgavemecable]

"I hadn't planned on sharing," Toby admitted shamelessly. Look, he still hoarded crackers under his bed. "But the restaurant gave me way too much, so. Common room food party. Apparently."
