5th floor lounge, Thursday afternoon/evening

[nadiathesaint]

Figuring that the doctor said to ice and elevate her ankle, and that once she got to the fifth floor, she didn't want to go back down and come back up again, Nadia stretches out on the fifth floor lounge couch, put on her headphones, and turned on the tv.

With some Argentine punk and her own made up dialogue, the tv was A LOT more entertaining.

[open to anyone who for whatever reason is on the fifth floor. Come, mock television, have a conversation!]

Molly came in with a stack of papers, a notebook, writing utensils, and a pained expression.

She sat down in a chair with a view of the TV and, seeing the headphones, waved at Nadia, grinning a little.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved back without breaking stride.

"Oh, but Julio, our love together can only grow!" she said, in a high pitched squeal. Then she lowered her voice. "Maria, my darling, I cannot. For I'm secretly in love with your sister!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed as she set down her schoolwork.

She put the back of her hand to her forehead and copied Nadia's high pitched inflection. "Oh, Julio, how could you? She's only sixteen! And promised to the convent. How can you do this to me?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned and slid her headphones off. "But, Maria, she could never be happy in the convent. And our love transcends the ages! Besides, I know that you have been sleeping with . . . your great-uncle Marco!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly giggled, then went back into her 'role' as Maria.

She gave an exaggerated gasp. "How did you find... I mean, no! Who would tell you such lies!?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Don't deny it, Maria! I saw you with--" another character, an older woman, came on the television screen. "Oh no!" She raised her voice to a raspy cackle. "Maria! What are you doing here with the gardner?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Fighting the giggles, Molly continued.

"Ma-ma! I thought you were still at church! This isn't what it looks like! Julio's shirt got muddy while he was working so I offered to clean it. It only seemed logical to wash his pants as well."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia continued in the raspy cackle. "Oh. well, that makes sense, then. You wouldn't do anything else. After all, everyone knows that Julio is all mine!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly burst into laughter. She tried to recover enough to continue, but gave up when the younger woman left the screen. Leaning back in the chair, she continued to giggle uncontrollably.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia turned away from the tv, also giggling. "I've finally discovered the proper use of the television."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Wiping tears from her eyes, Molly was finally able to stop giggling. "That is pretty fun. I've never done that before."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia leaned forward, as though confessing a secret. "I saw them doing it on the show before this one. it was so funny, I had to try."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly smiled and put her finger to her lips. "I won't tell a soul." Finally recovered from the laughter, she sat up again. "I've seen you around, but I don't think we've actually met. I'm Molly and I'm a freshman."

[[OOC: We haven't met, have we? *wracks brain*]]

[nadiathesaint]

[ooc: I don't think we have. . . .]

"I'm Nadia. Also a freshman." She made a fake gang symbol with her fingers. "Freshmen represent!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"It seems like most of our floor is Freshman." She looked at Nadia's foot. "What happened there?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia twisted her ankle experimentally. It didn't hurt too much any more. "Self-defense club. You should see the other guy."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "Some big guy who underestimated you? I thought about checking out that club, but there really isn't any point for me." She shrugged. "I may still, it could be fun to show off a little before everybody finds out about my mutant power." She grinned again.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia raised her eyebrows. "Something like that. . . . You have a mutant power?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned with a mischievous light in her eyes, then nodded. "You want me to show you or tell you."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked. What a question. "Is it dangerous?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged. "Only if I drop things, but I'll be careful." She stood up. "Here, I was going to pick up the couch you're sitting on, but I'll just do that love-seat over there."

She walked over to the love-seat in question and, grabbing ahold of one armrest, picked it up and lifted it as high as she could without hitting the ceiling. "Superstrength. And this is nothing. I can lift way more than this easily."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia's eyes went wide. "Wow. How'd you get that? Or were you born that way?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly set the love-seat back in it's place and then plopped down on it. She shrugged. "Born that way, I guess. It didn't... turn itself on, or whatever, until I was eleven though." She grinned. "Makes things like strength training and self-defense classes kind of pointless though."

Realizing that she was probably showing off too much again, she tried to shift the conversation back to Nadia. "So, where are you from?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Buenos Aires." Nadia tilted her head. "You?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"L.A." Molly sat up again. "Buenos Aires is in Argentina, right? Are you having as much trouble adjusting to the cold as I am?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded quickly. "Oh my god, yes. I was born in Russia, but I never liked the cold much."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shivered. "It's terrible. I hope winter is short this year."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "I'm kinda looking forward to seeing snow, though. Do you know if it snows a lot around here?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged again. "I thought it always snowed here in winter."

She glanced over at the schoolwork she'd brought in with her and sighed. "Well, I really need to quit putting this stuff off. I should probably go back to my room and try to work there again." She stood up and collected her things.

"You need anything before I go? I could bring you something from the kitchen or your room."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shook her head with a smile. "No, I'm fine, thanks. I'll probably head back to my room in a bit anyway." She gestured to the television. "Plus, I think Maria's sister is about to discover Julio's obsession with her great-uncle's pet goat, Chupacabra."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly giggled again and waved as she headed out of the room. "It was nice meeting you Nadia, I'll see you around."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved and replaced her headphones. She didn't have class tomorrow, she figured she could afford to bum around for awhile. "See ya!"
