3rd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[hoorayimrich]

Tony had the television on what appeared to be CNN, and his laptop out for the sort of coding session that made lesser men go blind. Or insane. Oddly enough, this is what he was doing for fun, though. Tony Stark's fun is not the normal idea of fun

Okay, so Olive needed food, and she had no idea where to find it, and there was nothing on her own floor and that was sad.

But then, a miracle occurred when she wandered past the common room below hers. A miracle. "Is that CNN?" she asked skeptically, kind of hovering near the pizza because she was just polite enough to not just help herself.

"It's better than Fox News," Tony said, glancing up from the laptop after finishing a line. "And I'm not allowed to do anything to the cable to get better channels."

THANKS, CAPTAIN BUZZKILL.

"Says who?" Olive asked, frowning. "I vote that you can do whatever you'd like to make something awesome happen to that TV."

Olive had no vote.

"One of the teachers." A beat. "I'm pretty sure he has my guardian on speed dial now."

But that was possibly because someone kept getting into trouble. Or nearly dying.

Sia had been coming back up to her room, which meant she had to pass by the common room on her way there. It also meant she thought she should stop.

"Is this a very quiet party?" she said, eying the small army pizza rations.

"...I might have overestimated how hungry I was," Tony replied, eyeing the boxes as well.

[notconflicted]

"At least you shouldn't be hungry again anytime soon," Sia pointed out.

"I like to think of it as being a giver to the rest of my classmates." Be glad he didn't order Chinese.

"Oh, look, five dozen pizzas," announced Stephanie, who might or might not be wildly exaggerating but was definitely teasing Tony either way. "The recommended daily allowance for teenage geniuses."

She swiped a couple of veggie and sausage slices for herself and plunked down beside him, glancing at the laptop screen.

"Wild party time, sweetie?"

Yes, she knew what he did for fun.

[hoorayimrich]

"I spent it all on a jet," Tony whined, flopping back on the couch. And Against her. Because she was all there. "I am a wild and crazy guy. Better call TMZ."

[batwaffles]

Stephanie snickered and put an arm around his shoulders. "Can't. All that wild partying of yours wore me right out, and besides, I don't want to know what they'll call me this time."

[hoorayimrich]

"Ooo, maybe one of the Olympic gymnasts?" Tony, no.
