Room 417, Friday afternoon

[fates_jaye]

Jaye had meant to leave her room. She did. She'd decided she'd seen far too much of America's Next Top Model and needed to leave, but she'd only managed to open the door before she decided she had to know who won the last cycle and whether anyone fell down on the runway.

And now she's stitting cross-legged on the bed, completely unable to leave the room. She's debating popcorn, but the commercial breaks aren't long enough.


[For those days when you're dying to play but just can't handle the CR. Door's open.]

Peter noticed the open door on his way back to his room. "Hey."

[fates_jaye]

"Hey," Jaye says, still frowning at the little television. "You didn't happen to bring popcorn, did you?"

"That guy Dick may have spiled some on me," Peter said. "Don't know if you want any of the kernals."

[fates_jaye]

"Eh, I'll call someone to bring me some," she says, looking back when it goes to commercial. "I thought you just changed your look. Did you go back or what?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Peter Petrelli," Peter said, used to this by now. "You may know me as Peter Pet if you listen to radio."

[fates_jaye]

"Oh, you're Steve," says Jaye. "I liked Seely's name better. I'm Jaye."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Hey Jaye," Peter said with a smile. "Yeah, Steve. Some have also liked Moron #4."

[fates_jaye]

"But at least one of the Peters isn't a moron," she points out. "So that one doesn't really work. Unless they're basing it on other criteria, in which case I can't say anything yet."

"I jumped off the roof yesterday," Peter offered.

[fates_jaye]

Jaye looks over to see if he's serious. "Do you bounce?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Apparently not," Peter said. "Though that probably would've saved my pants."

[fates_jaye]

"Well, you're not deadinated," she says. "Do you really just suck at jumping off roofs?"

"Walter caught me," Peter said. "Not sure even Shawn could patch me up if he hadn't."

Jack leaned in the doorway, waching Jaye and the television for several minutes, hiding two packages behind his back. "What on earth are you watching?"

[fates_jaye]

"America's Next Top Model," she says, looking away finally. "I can't look away. It's like a high fashion train wreck. Also hi and come in!"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It's kind of a pretty trainwreck," he said as he did just that, wandering over to join Jaye. "I come bearing extremely belated gifts, if you want them."

[fates_jaye]

"I do, and I have some for you, too," she says. "Let me see if I can get to the closet without moving my eyes from the TV screen."

Laughing, Jack sprawled on the bed and set one small and one larger package next to him. "I missed you, Jaye. I really did. How was your Christmas?"

[fates_jaye]

"Very very quiet," she says, coming back with two packages to set by his pile. "Was running back here as soon as it was over. How was your trip?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Mostly it sucked, with some real stand out moments of crappy," he said honestly. "I'm glad to be back." Jack poked at the packages and grinned. "You want to go first or will I?"

[fates_jaye]

"Me," she says, going for the first package. "And for the record, I'm glad you're back. It's been boring."

She opens the seahorse, grinning. "I've developed this really weird thing for seahorses. I can't imagine why..."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I tried to find one without a shirt, but alas, they don't exist," he said, leaning back to watch her.

[fates_jaye]

She laughs a little and goes back to the second one. And then she cracks up. "Thank you. You know, I need to use this now, right?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I know," he smirked. "I saw it and thought 'Jaye needs a voodoo doll kit'. My turn now?" he asked eagerly, reaching for one of the packages

[fates_jaye]

"Yes," she says, looking over the kit and wondering who to use it on first.
