Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Evening

[arsenicmauls]

As usual, Sushi Station had gone way overboard, which meant that tonight the common room had quite the spread. Which Gert didn't mind, because she had been craving a cream cheese and avocado roll something fierce lately, and that apparently meant that Old Lace had been too. And Gert was nice enough to share.

Parentless Grey was on, Old Lace was

All the telltale signs of free food were there, so naturally, Toby found himself wandering in to the common room and flopping down on a couch.

"Hey, Gert." And a nod to the dinosaur. "Old Lace." It certainly was testament to something that seeing a dinosaur chilling in the common room didn't seem particularly out of place. "You sharing?" he asked, because assuming was just rude.

[arsenicmauls]

"Yeah, help yourself," she said. "Is it just me or are the restaurants in this place just not interested in making a profit?"

Hey, she didn't mind. At the beginning of tenth grade, she had tried her very best to convince her parents to let her join the school's socialist club. And cheap food was cheap food. But really.

"Awesome," Toby said, looking over the offerings curiously. Sushi wasn't exactly the sort of food he had a lot of experience with. He picked out a couple of rolls that didn't look too terrifying, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and got to work figuring out how to maneuver the sushi with them.

"You know, that's a very good point? The pizza place just gave me a half-dozen pizzas, once. I'm still trying to figure that one out."

"I can beat that," Gert said, tucking her legs beside her on the couch. "Some chick gave me a bag of a couple hundred bagels recently. I still don't even know why."

Because April, pretty much.

"Oh, hello," Anna said to Gert as she entered the common room. When she noticed what Gert was eating, she paused, peering down at it. "What is that?"

[arsenicmauls]

"Sushi," Gert replied, starting to give Anna a funny look for not knowing before the dinosaur at her feet stirred and she remembered, oh yeah, multiversal nexus. "It's a raw fish thing. Well, this is a vegetarian roll, but the cuisine in general is usually raw fish."

She waved a hand out at the rest of the moddable sushi on the table. "Help yourself if you want some; it's way too much for one person and one dinosaur."

[dressedinblood]

"Oh, no thank you," Anna said politely, then shot any possibility Gert would just assume she wasn't interested or grossed out in the foot by asking, "What's it like?"

[arsenicmauls]

Kind of a weird question from someone who could easily try it for herself, but some people were pretty sheltered, Gert supposed. "Soft," she offered. "Not super filling. And really addictive, even if I've had way better than this back home."

"Hey, Gert." Kenzi paused, and waved to the little dinosaur, blinking. "Hey... you." Yeah, she hadn't run into Old Lace before, although she'd heard vague rumors.
