5th floor Common room, Monday after classes

River was happy and making popcorn went well with being happy. So popcorn were flying through the kitchen and River danced about, trying to catch as many as possible with her hands and mouth. Berthold was lying under his blanket, tentacles reaching out and trying to get to the ice cream carton without getting in the way of River. Her mood seemed to be contagious as the monster made cheerful squeals.

[Open! There's popcorn enough for everyone.]

"That is true... I suppose I just want some way of knowing that I will make the right decisions."

"No way of knowing," River said. "Just guesses. Might be good enough. Perhaps stop worrying?" She offered Irulan another popcorn.

She sighed, "You are right of course, there is no use worrying needlessly. The future isn't here yet." She smiled and took some popcorn.

"And this is a good place to be," River added, smiling happily.

"Yes, it truly is," she said replied, equally pleased. "People here are most welcoming."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"People accept you oddities," River said. "Who are your friends?"

She handed Irulan a bowl of ice cream with some popcorn sprinkled on top.

"Parker, Evie, my roommate Pam, and Jack--" lovely, lovely Jack "--are the most people I've interacted with," Irulan said.

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Know them too, apart from Pam," River said. She smiled, but eyed Irulan a little nervously. Irulan's feelings for Jack was quite obvious.

Her Bene Gesserit observation skills kicked in at the oddest times, she noted the tension in River and wondered where it came from.

"Pam is a new student like me, she is very nice."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"New? Explains it." River smiled, more relaxed again. "Too many people here to know everyone. What classes are you taking?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"I am taking Ethics, Government and Revolutions, all I hope will help me in my future." She smiled again, "And Jack is helping me learn to use guns."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
River winced at the mentioning of Ethics, but apperantly Darth Vader was no longer around. "Vader was evil," she mumbled.

"Jack is teaching you?" River imagined having him teaching her to use guns would be terribly distracting, possibly even making her miss the target.

"I suppose he is, he had interesting thoughts, though nothing I am not acquainted with," She knew the Harkonnens and she wasn't at all naive about them, the Imperial Court wasn't a place for that sort of political naivety. She would have grinned if she were the type to do so at the mention of Jack, she beamed instead, "Yes, he is, he is a very good teacher."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Evil could be found everywhere. Somehow that didn't surprise River.

"Are you a member of the Gun Club?" River asked, grinning at Irulan. "And how come Jack started teaching you?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think he was concerned I didn't know how to use a projectile weapon, especially with the environment in the Imperial Court." She smiled, she's beaming all kinds of happiness at the knowledge of Jack's concern but outwardly she looked as serene as ever. "But, no, I am not a member of the Gun Club."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't find it distracting?" River asked, hoping she wasn't too intrusive. "Jack teaching you?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not at all," She said, and there just a barest whisper of thought even Irulan failed to notice it, sometimes.

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
River just nodded and smiled in reply to that. "I would," she said, then giggled.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-13 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"He is very charming," she agreed but she would never ever, ever admit her crush in a million billion years. Because it wasn't a crush. It was appreciation of another person. This argument went on in her mind while she thought and tried not to think: Great Mother, I hope she doesn't read this. It was hard trying to look serene and distressed at the same time.

River tilted her head and looked at Irulan, making sure she hid that she had picked up any of that. "Have you met Berthold?" River asked, hastily changing the subject and pointing at the tentacled monster under the blanket.

[awww! Night if you decide to sleep!]

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-14 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan blinked at the tentacle, "Berthold? What sort of creature is it?"

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-14 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Tentacled monster," River explained. "He's very friendly. Lives under Buffy's bed."

Berthold extended a tentacle and poked Irulan's foot.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-14 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan looked at the creature curiously, it didn't look as bad as some of the genetic experiments of the Bene Tlielux. "Hello."

[identity profile] moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com 2007-03-14 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
Berthold sniffled in reply and waved a few tentacles. Then he sneezed.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2007-03-14 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, dear," Irulan said, concerned, "Your pet seems to be ill."
