Fourth Floor Common Room: Tuesday Afternoon

[lovelylana]

After her workshop, Lana had gone back to Selkie Cove, but could find no sign of Phoebe. She'd trekked up and down the beach looking for her with no luck and finally decided she needed to get in where it was cool for a while

Joxer wandered into his floor's common room and sat down. He waved to Lana.

"Hey there," he said.

[lovelylana]

"Hey, Joxer," Lana replied, looking very distracted. "How's it going?"

[joxertehmighty]

"I'm a little sore, otherwise okay." He looked a little concerned. "Are you okay?"

[lovelylana]

"Phoebe's turned into a mermaid," Lana said, her face looking even more worried. "And I can't find her anywhere. I went all up and down the beach, but I finally had to come in to cool off and rest. It's just too hot out there."

Tempe, who had just ventured out of her room for the first time since she'd returned from Illinois earlier in the day, found herself on the fourth floor for no apparent reason walked into the common room, and spotted Lana.

She walked over and sat down next to her. "Watching anything interesting?"

[lovelylana]

Lana looked up. "Oh, hi, um... Tempe, is it?" She looked back at the TV. "Honestly, I have no idea what I'm watching."

[fatalvoyage]

Tempe nodded. "You know my name?" she asked, eyebrows raised in surprise. "...have we met? Because if we have, I apologize, because I really can't remember your name."

She felt a little silly, like maybe she should have put more effort out there to meet people, so that situations like this wouldn't be awkward.

"Just flipping through the channels then?"

[lovelylana]

"Not officially, I don't think," Lana said still seeming a bit distracted, "But it's a small school. And somebody handwavily pointed you out before."

She smiles a little ruefully. "I could have been completely off with the name. And yes, just flipping channels. If there's something you want to watch, feel free." She holds the remote out to the other girl.

Bel finally gave up the research and emerged from his room. He wandered down to the fourth floor common room. "Hey," he said to the room's occupants.

[lovelylana]

"Bel!" Lana jumped up from the couch. "Have you seen her? I went looking for her, but I couldn't find her anywhere near the Cove."

[demonbelthazor]

"Not since last night," Bel said grimly. "She took off when I told her I wanted to take her home."

[lovelylana]

"Oh," Lana sat back down again. "I was supposed to see her after my workshop today, but I couldn't find her anywhere and it just got too hot."
