Thursday, After the Infirmary

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Well-rested after her nap in the infirmary and a bit disillusioned after the non-explosion in shop class, Sam flopped down on the bed and worked on her equations for the independent study. Every so often she erased a number, scribbled out a number, or ripped out a page. A small pile of paper wads was growing on the floor next to the bed. She'd throw them out next time she got up.

She sighed and ran a frustrated hand through her hair. It stuck up in many different directions. "This is impossible." Feeling defeated, she threw the notebook on the floor, scattering some of the paper wads.

"You do realize that there's a problem with deforestation in the rainforests, don't you?" Elizabeth grinned, leaning against the open door.

"Huh?" Sam turned her head and saw Elizabeth. "Hey. Um, yeah. I need whiteboards to figure this stuff out properly--it's driving me nuts. But this tree was already torn down by the time I got to the notebook."

"This stuff being stuff that will fly right over my head if you just told me what it was, right?" Elizabeth said, moving into the room. "And hey. I'm bored. And my hands are cold."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Sam grinned. "But it's not like negotiation and languages make any sense to me, really."

"I've got mittens in the closet, if you want them. The boredom is tougher. Where's Janet?"

From outside the room, John starts throwing random wads of paper into the room. Wads of paper containing equations and formulas for the independent study.

They're all wrong anyway and he's feeling playful.

"Okay, that's new." Sam got up to investigate and stuck her head out the door. "Hey, you. Watcha doing, other than littering?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I hate math," he says from his spot against a far wall. "So I thought I'd bother you guys."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Cool, we were just looking for something to do. C'mon in and help us think. No math. Math is being stupid today. So's physics."

[[ooc: Housemate's throwing me off her laptop and making me go to bed, damn her. I don't know how to get Liz out of there so soon after she's in, so god-mod her as needed, 'k? *loves*]]

MacGyver knocks on the door.

"Carter?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"It's open."

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

Mac comes into the room with a concerned look on his face. "I think I may owe you an apology Sam. I didn't mean to upset you in class today."

Janet, who was still there and pondering throwing pages of equations at Sam, gave Sam a look.

OOC: Sam didn't mind. As long as you're cool with Janet being here too?

Parker knocked on the door, carrying a familiar pink kitten. "Hey guys. I'm off to play poker. Look after Zero? Esme's freaking out. And Zero can't reach door handles, so...."

[swerval_zero]

prrrrrraow.

//I don't know what Esme's problem is. And someone needs to feed Fish.//

[janet_fraiser]

"Zero!" Janet reached out to scoop her up and pet her. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to be doing this a lot 'til you're back to normal."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker pats Zero on the head, then grins at Janet. "Wish me luck. I'm off to take money off Harkness, 6, and McDonald. Don't wait up."

[swerval_zero]

Rrrrraow, mew preeeeet.

//If it starts to annoy me I'll just prick you a little bit, since I like you.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam's look of shock was probably comical. "What the heck happened to Zero?"

[swerval_zero]

*snarl*

//I don't want to talk about it oh I don't know why I bother you can't understand me anyway.//

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam, who had been offering her hand to be sniffed, out of habit, flinched back from the wee pink kittycat snarl. "Right. Sorry, Zero."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Wyndam-Pryce, may he rot somewhere dank and noisome. Had some book that Zero touched, and suddenly, meow." Parker made a face, then whispered, "She's *way* too cute, isn't she?"

[swerval_zero]

*has cat hearing*

*attacks Parker's shoe ineffectually*

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"She really, really is," Sam whispered back.
