Study Hall -- Friday, November 18th

Pool table, puppies, kittens, pizza, drinks, and loud music. Study hall is pretty chaotic today.

There is also a mechanical device spread out in slightly charred pieces of Sarah's desk. Anybody who looked at her badly scribbled notes might think it was a very crude amateurish attempt at a time machine.

Sarah is nowhere to be seen.

"Way bigger field too, from what I can tell." Anders nods enthusiastically. "Sure, bring it on. You staying over break, or what?"

"Yeah, I'm staying. I'm not bringing Aeryn home and subject her to my father again, that's for sure." He nods at Anders. "What about you?"

Grinning amusedly as Bridge bounces into the room (http://www.livejournal.com/community/fandomhigh/376272.html?thread=17775824#t17775824), Anders shrugs. "Where am I gonna go? It's hardly worth the trip all the way back to Caprica just for three or four days, and I don't think either me or Cally can afford it anyway. You any good at card games? 'cause we're gonna have to amuse ourselves, and I figure maybe we Colonials can teach you guys how to play Triad. Not too good at it myself, but it's fun."

"I'm decent at some card games. War, Go Fish, Rummy, Spit and things like that," John answers. "Triad might be fun to learn. And we might have enough people to organize something small dinner wise in the dorms."

"Cool, cool. As long as I don't have to do the cooking. Is Adama staying over the break? Maybe we can con him into cooking . . ."

"Hey!" Bridge bounces over to where Anders and John are sitting. "What's up, dudes?"

It's obvious that he has way, way too much energy today.

(ooc: @#$%ing mac computer lab)

"Hey Bridge," John says and immediately offers up a cookie. "C'mon, they're chocolate..."

(this had better frelling post this time.)

"Oooo, chocolate. Thin mints?" he asks hopefully.

"Yep, I got some thin mints," John says and pulls out a different box. "They seem to be the popular cookie in this place today. I'm gonna have a lot of tagalongs to eat on my own."

"Way more than willing to help with those Tagalongs, dude," Anders points out.

"Sweet," John says. "Share with Cally too since I haven't seen her to give her a few boxes. Apparently, girls really like Girl Scout cookies. I got nearly mobbed this morning by girls."

Anders nods. "Yeah, I'll make sure to save her a few boxes, I'm sure she'll love 'em. Perfect timing, too, Crichton -- this'll be a little something extra for Official Date Night tonight."

He promptly turns a brilliant, happy shade of red, remembering last Official Date Night.

Anders raises an eyebrow in amusement. "Clean the cafeteria out of sugar packets, Carson?"

"What?" Bridge blinks. "No! Well, maybe."

Anders laughs. "Any new work lined up for ABC?"

Seeing Bridge and Anders together, Beka headed over just in time to catch Anders' comment. She smiled pleasantly. "I might be in a position to help with that."

Anders looks up, blinking for a second. "Oh, hey. This is about the interview thing for the paper, right?"

"Hey," she said, putting out her hand. "Beka Valentine. We haven't actually met that I can think of."

"Hey. Anders. And I don't think we have," he replies, squinting at her a little bit as he shakes her hand. "Might've talked to you once a while back, but I'm not sure. Know your name, though, since Cally mentions you a lot." He smiles. "Anyway, hi."

She purses her lips and screws up her face a bit, clearly thinking. "Hey, yeah. Study Hall. Some assignment you had about Greek gods or something." Nodding now as the memory came clearer, she continued, smiling. "Yeah, Cally talks about you a lot, too."

"So," she said, pulling out a notebook. "The paper wants me to do an article about ABC and your competitors. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to interview them ~~and since Cally's BFF I'd like to give you guys a leg up anyhow~~, but we could put something about you in this week's paper."

"Does she really?" He blushes a little bit. "Anyway, yeah . . . I'm not really the tech guy in the operation, but I guess I can tell you a few things. Looks like Bridge is kinda caught up in tinkering again, but -- well, what do you want to know?"

"Yeah. She does." Beka grinned. "Maybe you can tell me about why you started the business. And what sorts of jobs you take. You know, just the general who you are and why people should come to you stuff."

"Well . . ." Anders scratches his head. "It was Bridge's idea, really. I always saw him tinkering with stuff in study hall or the common room or whatever, and then one day I asked him if he could build me a custom door lock. Which is really cool, by the way -- anybody who doesn't have a programmed code and tries to get in will end up in the basement or something. Also, it dispenses gumballs. I'd give you one, but I ran out."

He tilts his head thoughtfully and grins. "Anyway, I guess he figured that other people might be interested in stuff like that, and he talked to me and Cally one night about teaming up. We figured it was a good idea. And we're right here in the dorms, so it's pretty convenient if someone needs to drop something off or pick it up, especially after curfew." Hastily, he adds, "I don't really do much of the fixing unless it involves hitting things with a hammer hard, or lifting stuff. But, you know, that frees up Cally and Bridge to do the rest."

Beka jotted down notes as Anders talked. "Lock that dispenses gumballs. Handy if you're running low on food, I guess. Thanks for the offer." She scrunched her nose.

"OK, so, you'll fix pretty much anything the students bring by. What're your rates like? Do you have any promo material I could look at?"

"Oh! Yeah, um, Rory Gilmore? The girl with the puppy? She asked us to fix her laptop. Shouldn't be too hard, I think."
