Common room: It's... good to be a superhero? ((wide open))

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:25 pm

Alex sat in the common room, not really watching the TV that was playing. Everything about the day was playing through his head, from the history lesson to the fight to the boat sinking to... Hell. How bad did I mess up?

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:52 pm

"Hey," Steve said as he sat down on the couch, "Whatcha watching?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 4:59 pm

"Huh, oh, just..." he looked at the TV and saw that it was a commercial. "Shit. I don't know. Wasn't really watching, you can drive if you want."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:03 pm

"Awesome," he said as he took up the remote.

"Crazy day huh?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:23 pm

"Yeah, tell me about it," Alex said. "So. Our history teacher's a drug dealer."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:35 pm

"Or something else shady. Maybe we should've opened that damn chest."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:51 pm

"I dunno. I was expecting to get expelled or something for sinking the boat. DIdn't want to make it worse setting off a bomb or something."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 5:57 pm

"Yeah. It's really weird we didn't even get yelled at."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 6:36 pm

"Well we followed our teacher during classtime and ended up getting shot at in something that probably wasn't legal, since he was all 'get the fuck out before cops get here!' So I'm pretty sure they're all in CYA mode right now."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 7:44 pm

"Might explain why my parents haven't called to chew me out yet."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 7:52 pm

"Please, you kidding me? All you did was sit on a dock, as far as anyone can prove. I was pounding internationals with an aluminum fist. My mom's probably going to have conniptions about international incidents and liability and tort reform and whatever the fuck it is lawyers would say about this."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:02 pm

"Plan on pleading insanity?" he smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:10 pm

"I'm hoping I can get time off for awesome behavior."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:18 pm

"You did look pretty damn awesome facing down those gunmen."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:30 pm

"Yeah, well, I'm sure you could get some prize money for a video of me slamming off the edge of the boat," Alex said with a wry chuckle.

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:47 pm

"I bet Cal already has," he chuckled.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:51 pm

Brigid wandered into the room. Spotting Alex, she gave him a small wave.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 8:56 pm

"If any of those dumb video shows get it and it wins any money, my mom's a lawyer. I'm getting that damn cash," he said with a grin. Seeing Brigid he seemed... both hesitant and happy, sitting up and making room for her.

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:06 pm

Steve waved at Brigid as he scooted over a little.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:08 pm

"What's up? I didn't mean to interrupt," she said as she walked over and sat down.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:17 pm

"Just realizing how crazy things are here after the drug deal or whatever that was we walked in on."

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:19 pm

And that was around the time Kay comes down the stairs and walks into the common-room with Theresa. When she sees everyone sitting on the couch she stops for a moment and glances at Theresa as if to ask "Now?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:22 pm

Theresa, fully realizing how it looks, leans over and whispers in Kay's ear, "I suppose it's better to tell her now than wait for her to hear through the grapevine."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:24 pm

"I don't even know what."

by **Steve Jones** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:25 pm

"And the party grows," Steve said, motioning to and smiling obliviously at the new couple.

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:29 pm

"Hey guys." she says and then isn't really sure what to say next so she just kinda takes Theresa's hand.

by **Theresa McMasters** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:46 pm

"Hey, guys." Theresa squeezed Kay's hand, "Brigid, have you got a minute?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 9:52 pm

"Sure, what's up?"

She didn't get up, not quite knowing what this was about, yet.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:29 pm

Alex, being male with his girlfriend right there, didn't seem to be paying very close attention to the fact that the girls were holding hands.

by **Kay Haddock** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 10:41 pm

"Just..." Why is this so hard? "...wanted to tell you something. Before there's any rumors."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Mon Mar 04, 2013 11:06 pm

"Er... okay?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 12:30 am

Alex looked back, finally. "What rumors are... ohhhhhhhhhhh..."

by **Aisha Khan** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 12:36 am

"Hey guys." Aisha said, walking into the room "What happened? I got to class and everyone was gone and then Professor Sackville is a drug dealer or something."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 12:53 am

"Oh, we uh... Stopped a drug deal or something. I guess Professor Sackville pissed off a bunch of Russians with guns."

by **Aisha Khan** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 1:05 am

"Oh my God." Aisha said "Seriously?"

by **Theresa McMasters** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 8:41 am

Must think plans through next time! Must think plans through next time! Great, now there's an even bigger audience for telling Brigid about me and Kay. She bit her lip, but hunting the words she was looking for was like looking for a needle in a haystack... if the haystack were the size of Kansas.

by **Kay Haddock** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 11:25 am

"Erh... m-maybe it can wait." she manages, kinda changing her mind at the growing audience.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 11:38 am

"Maybe... not here?" She asked, looking between them in confusion.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 3:17 pm

"Oh come on, we're all friends here, right?"

by **Steve Jones** » Tue Mar 05, 2013 4:42 pm

Oh God. No no damnit no.

He fought the disappointed frown trying to creep over his face to little success.
