MCA 0 [Saturday Night]

[bridge_carson]

So the making of lists at work had served as a pretty good distraction while *at* work. But then he'd run in to Anders on his way back to the dorms. And now Anders was gone. Which means that between him leaving today, and Isabel and Wyatt leaving yesterday, tonight is very much a night for moping. And ice cream. He hadn't really felt like going back to the dorms at *all* tonight after seeing Anders off, so RIC's hanging out on the living room floor, lying down with his head resting on his front paws and managing, somehow, to look mournful. Despite the fact that he's not actually capable of things like facial expressions.

"...I lived there for like five years?"

[needsaparrot]

"I meant about the soundproofing."

"I lived next to *Syd* for five years," Bridge points out. "Syd who is a fan of blasting her music at full volume at every opportunity."

[needsaparrot]

"Point taken." Xander sets his ice cream aside and puts his feet up on the coffee table. "You, ah, think they'll like me? Syd and the new guy?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Are you kidding? Syd'll *love* having someone new around to inform of just how many awards she's won, and for what. And Ghost... yeah, you two should get along. You've got a very similar sense of humour."

[needsaparrot]

"So.... I'm guessing I shouldn't offer to exorcise him the first time we meet?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"He's not an actual ghost, no," Bridge says. "His mom just thought it was funny."

[needsaparrot]

"That's sort of where I was going too," Xander admits. "But I'm guessing when it comes to jokes on his name and 'stop me if you've heard this one before, he'd be stopping me at St--."

"Sorry," Bridge says, making a face. "Sometimes I kind of take things a bit too literally."

[needsaparrot]

"Ya think?" Xander grins. "But naw, knowing where I come from it's a legit assumption in this case."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"The few encounters I know of with ghosts from my world have always been with the friendly kind," Bridge says. "So exorcism's really not something needed in those cases."

[needsaparrot]

"That'll be...different." Unlike, you know, everything else about Bridge's timeline.

"It'll be a learning experience!" Bridge replies.

[needsaparrot]

"And here I thought I was done with school when my old one got eaten by the Hellmouth. Shows what I know."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Learning is hardly a *bad* thing, you know. And it can take place outside of schools," Bridge scoffs.

[needsaparrot]

"Hey, preaching to the choir on that one. Before I hit Fandom, most of it did."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, okay, good," Bridge nods. "And you're *sure* you don't mind living at the Academy?" he asks. It's not, after all, *quite* what he had in mind when originally thinking about what their first apartment might be like.

[needsaparrot]

Xander shrugs. "Hardly the first time I've lived in a crackerbox space. Not like I care as long as it's where you are."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge grins at that. "Same here. Well, and also it means I don't have to share a room with Sky."

[needsaparrot]

"That could be awkward, yeah. Then again you could make him a squishy machine and he'd be so distracted he wouldn't notice anything going on in our side of the room anyway."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I'm almost tempted to do that anyway," Bridge snorts. "I'm sure Ghost will thank me."

[needsaparrot]

"Because then he can take pictures of Sky on a Squishy-high and sell them on the black market?" Xander guesses.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Something like that," Bridge agrees.
