Room 509, Thursday afternoon

[trigons_child]

Probably to absolutely no one's surprise, Raven had amassed herself a small army of love monkeys, which were now snuggled up with her on her bed as she used her laptop to catch up on Rumor Gal episodes and gossip and speculation. Priorities, people. Priorities.

She wrinkled her nose at the comments on one blog post and glanced down at the love monkey that had claimed her lap. "I do very much prefer it when Charlie and Claire are together," she told it, "for I think they are truly meant for each other, but I do not understand how heated these 'shipping wars' get. It seems so unpleasant and unhealthy to invest so much anger and energy in the lives and relationships of fictional people."

The love monkey squeaked in agreement. Or maybe it was just asking for another hug. Or maybe it was secretly a Claire/David shipper and just didn't want to start an argument.


[Door and post are open. Beware of love monkeys!]

"Pffffft!" said Ariel, eloquently, waving her hand. "I'm going by myself. If it's a night dedicated to love, well, then, I love having fun, and so there we go, that's all I need. I'm going with fun as my date."

"I do not know if I can bear to be surrounded by so many happy couples," Raven admitted. "I am pleased for them, of course, but...." She was worried she'd become jealous.

With a response like that, Ariel was just going to stare at Raven for a second before folding her arms in front of her and arching her eyebrow with her best Did you honestly just say what I thought you just said? look.

Because seriously.

"...what?" Raven said, fidgeting with a monkey that was trying to crawl under her skirts.

"That's the silliest thing I've ever heard, Raven," Ariel informed her. "I bet there's going to be just as many people there without dates, not in a happy couple, as there are people who are. I don't have a date, for example. Does that mean I shouldn't go?"

"No, no, of course not," Raven said, shaking her head. "I just...I do not think I would want to go without Jono."

Ariel...didn't know how exactly she'd respond to that comment; she actually wasn't sure how she felt about it, but, initially, it wasn't really all that positive and so she decided just to not say anything.

"Well," she said instead, plopping her hands down on the bed beside her to help her to her feet, "I've got to get going again. Thursdays are always pretty busy, anyway, and I've got to decide on a dress for tomorrow, anyway."
