Tuesday Night - 4th Floor Common Room

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair had Hank's pot and a bag of potting soil on the floor of the common room and was playing in the dirt busy repotting the plant. Ever so often he glanced up at the tv to watch COPS and offer commentary on police states.

Comments

Ivanova limped into the common room. Her own was empty and she was looking for someone to complain to.

Ooh, Blair. He would make her feel better.

"Evening, Blair!" she greeted him cheerfully.

"Stella!" Blair looked up and waved muddy fingers at her. "Come play in the dirt with me!"


[I so typed 'come get dirty with me' and then thought better of it]

"Anytime!" Ivanova carefully lowered herself to the ground, folding her good leg under her and stretching the other out straight. "I didn't know you were into plants. Although I should have guessed."

[[*cracks up* Sentinel's on in an hour! You so got me hooked

Blair handed her a plastic spoon and yogurt cup. "Here's your shovel and flower pot, and..." He dug a seed out of his pocket and handed it over. "Something to put in it!"

"Hank is still hiding in his pot. But I'm thinking he needs a changed of scenary. I got this pot with the truck on the side in town today." He held it up. "Do you think it's too much of a stereotype?"

[Really?! Where are you watching it? Do you like it?]

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova snickered as she took her tool and began transferring some potting soil. "Hank?" She looked at the pot, cocking her head. "A dump truck for a boy-plant? No, not a cliche at all," she said, sarcastically deadpan.

[[Space, the Canadian Sci-Fi channel. I like it. I had actually first heard of it when reading some Jack/Daniel slash and Jack's mum wrote Sentinel slash for fun. Sam and Janet were on the same mailing list.]]

Blair grinned. "No kidding, I didn't want to ask if the guy had anything else. I don't think he likes me too much. So how's your day been?"

[I'm SO jealous right now! I haven't seen the show in such a long time. But DVD's of the first season come out in April!]

"Really? Where did you get it?" She couldn't imagine anyone dislike the bouncy boy. Then she sighed. "Not great. I got an uplink from home."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"That All and Sunday...Sundries..something. That Blackadder dude just seems grumpy." Blair bounced. "Oooh! Maybe I should send him some chocolate!"

"Uplink? Is that like a message? It wasn't good?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

"All and Sundries? I was in there today, too, and he seemed very nice. Offered to carry things and have things delivered for me. Pretty friendly smile, too."

She raised her unslinged hand to display the small electronic patch on the back of it. "Sorry. This is a link. Sort of a cellphone and computer combined. So uplinks are calls, only this one was prerecorded. And it was on an official military channel and ordering me home."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair shrugged and winked. "Maybe he's got a thing for tall beautiful women."

He stared at her hand and then up at her face. "Home? You're leaving?"

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

She grinned at the compliment, then sighed again, slumping and spilling a bit of her potting soil. "Hopefully not permanently. I made the mistake of tellling my comm- my friends about my injuries, so I'm being recalled so that Dr. Franklin can personally fuss over me like a mother hen."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair thought for a moment, then nodded. "So the people at home care about you enough to want to check up on you? Ivanova, that rocks! What a cool way to show they love you!"

"And you can't go home for good." He pointed at the yogurt cup. "I'm keeping your plant here, so you'll have to come back."

[suzotchka.livejournal.com]

Ivanova tilted her head. "I never thought about it that way. You do seem to have a way of finding the good side to everything. And it will be nice to see everyone again, get back to the station."

She pressed her seed into the soil with her thumb and began covering it with more soil. "I'll be back by the end of March Break or I'm resigning my commission and sneaking back here anyways."

After stopping by Blair's room and finding him not there, Molly decided to check the common rooms starting with his own. What a shock that she found him so easily.

"Blair. Hi! Just who I was looking for," she said when she spotted him.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Molly!" Blair grinned happily up at her. "You were looking for me? That's so cool!"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Yep!" She said as she came to sit on the floor with him. "I was hoping that we could start the tutoring thing soon. I keep signing up on lists, but not a lot happens. I know that last one hasn't been up that long, but I really need help with studying."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, the student council thing is moving a bit slow, but I guess that's to be expected with any form of government." He thought for a minute. "How about some evening this week? I don't think I have anything going on expect work on Friday night."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"Thursday would be better than tomorrow for me. My last class is Dr. Jackson's and I only have Creature Languages before that."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, tomorrow is busy for me too. Angel is teaching me self defense tomorrow morning and then I've got classes."

"So Thursday? Can you bring all your notes from class?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly was going for innocent, but looked a little guilty when she said, "yeah, I'll bring all my notes. No problem."

"You're going to learn self defense from Angel?" She asked with interest. "He's a good teacher. He showed me how to use my stake," she added with a grin.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Cool. I'll see what I can research before then." He raised his eyebrows and frowned. "You and Angel fought with meat?"

[what class is he helping her with?]

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly laughed. "No, not meat steaks. Wooden stakes. To use when fighting vampires."

[[OOC: She mentioned Western Civ and that's probably all she'll bring this time, but she'll end up asking for help with other classes too.]]

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Wooden stakes, huh? Weird." He looked at Molly carefully. "So you fight vampires and stuff? Like all...grrrr?"

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly shrugged and started to play with some of the potting soil. "Just the once a few weeks ago. But, I fought other kinds of bad guys all the time before I came here."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Blair tossed her a plastic spoon and a yogurt cup. "I know you probably hear this a lot, but I hope you're safe and stuff. I would be sad if you got hurt."
