Bill flew into the side of Tip's head for the fifth time, a stream of frustrated bubbles trailing off behind him. Tip swatted at him and finally looked up from her laptop. "What? I'm busy --"

She broke off when she saw what Bill was spelling.

"I have not!" she protested, then looked at the clock and groaned. "Oh my god. How is that the time?" Bill started doing loops. "I can't help it if Rihanna's that interesting, okay?" She let out a groan and slumped back in her chair. "Ugh. This does explain why my neck hurts, though. . . ."

[I LIVE! Sort of. Open!]

"Oh man, I haven't hung out in a common room in ages." Tip rolled her eyes. "I mean, I kind of feel like I've just been in stasis for weeks or something."

"Yeah, I sort of know the feeling," Norman admitted. "Which, um, reminds me? I feel like I should kind of apologize for being a crab on you at Homecoming. I mean, I know it isn't my fault? But... you had to dance with a crab."

Which was weird. Even by 'kid who sees ghosts' standards.

"Are you kidding?" Tip shook her head. "Homecoming would be totally boring without having to play charades with a crab."

"I wasn't even good at charades," Norman laughed. "You know what helps with charades? Fingers."

Crabs did not have fingers, alas.

"You were very expressive. For a tiny thing with claws trying not to get stepped on."

"I do kind of like to think that 'I would like to not get crushed please,' is a pretty universal sentiment," Norman offered, his smile going a little lopsided.

“Well, a global one at least. I’m not sure a koobish would notice getting crushed.”

"I... am going to take your word for that," Norman decided. "And then concede that I've never really met a ghost who would notice, either."
