The Dorm Roof, Saturday morning

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

Christmas Eve morning. The Tick could smell the holiday cheer from here. Metaphorically, that is, since I don't think Lee is around to bake cookies. He had made all of the deliveries that he really needed to last Sunday. Then he had given the gift of grades on Tuesday.

And now? Well, it was just him and a cup of hot chocolate enjoying the view. There was a full thermos and some extra cups if anybody else wanted to come on up.

[OOC: Open for interaction. I will be around for most of the day, excluding a few hours in which I will probably be seeing the new massive monkey movie, and then some time tonight for ritualistic family behavior.]

Cally, bundled up in her jumpsuit, Anders' C-Bucs jacket (as she double checked to make sure it was the one Anders owned, and not the recently gifted one from Lee), and the Doctor's old scarf, makes her way to the roof to check on the Viper. She smiles when she sees Professor The Tick, and waves.

"Hello."

"Hello, Cally!" Tick said. "Enjoying your break so far?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yes sir." Cally nods, and seeing that the Viper is still there and in one piece, goes over and sits next to the Tick. "It's kinda cold, but I've been having a good time. How about you? Is this Christmas thing being good to you too?"

"Hot chocolate?" Tick offered, picking up his thermos and a cup.

"Christmas is being so good to me that it would be on Santa's Nice List if it were a person," he said, smiling. "This is probably my favorite time of year, really. People coming together out of love, caring, and the desire to give each other really keen stuff! What's not to like?"

[OOC: Off to see the monkey. I'll probably be back online around 7:00.]

"Oooh, yes please." Cally smiles again. "And yeah, Christmas is great. It's, like, the best holiday ever. And I didn't even know about it until a month ago. Anders and I are definitely gonna have to try and petition the quorom of twelve to get it instated in the colonies. Cause this is too awesome, really."

Tick poured Cally a cup and passed it over. He then pretended that he had any clue what a quorom of twelve was and where the colonies were.

"I hope you don't take the Holiday Pageant as a full explanation of the season, though. It was fun, but it was a loose interpretation," Tick said while grinning broadly at the memory.

"Oh, no, other folks have been filling me in on stuff. Especially the gift giving. The gift part is prolly the best. The giving even more than the recieving, actually." Cally smiles and takes a sip of the hot chocolate. "So, how come you're up here on the roof, sir?"

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

"I come out to the roof a lot," Tick said. "I used to live in a big city, so I spent a lot of time on the rooftops, either for travel, patrolling, or just thinking. The school buildings are the closest we have to that around here. It just reminds me of good times."

Tick sipped his chocolate, then asked, "What about you, Cally? What are you doing up here?"

Cally gestures towards the Viper, still parked on the roof. "Checkin' on my little project, that's all. While this cold isn't exactly vacuum of space cold, just wanting to check to see how the welds and stuff are holding up to the temperature change." She smiles. "But it appears to all still be in one piece, which is good. I'll have to give it a proper look over some time soon, though. Gotta check for cracks before anyone tries to fly it."

"I've been wondering what that was!" Tick said, glad to have a long-pondered question finally answered. "So it's a spaceship? Keen!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep, Viper Mark Two. Sure they've made up to, like, Mark Seven now, but that thing is classic. It's got enough boost, and the... well, I won't bore you with all the details about the engine and the fuel injection system. But it's a fine machine." Cally takes another long sip, finishing off her hot chocolate.

"Sorry to cut out on you, but it's both kinda cold up here, and I gotta get back to my room before Anders wonders where I've run off to. Thanks for the hot chocolate and the chat, sir." She stands up setting the cup down.

[[ooc: I gotta do the family thing now, grawrg. Sorry.]]

"Not a problem, Cally!" Tick said as Cally stood up. "Have a Merry Christmas!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Merry Christmas to you too, sir!" Cally waves as she takes another quick look over the Viper, before heading down off the roof and back to her room.
