5th Floor Common Room: Wed. Late afternoon

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

After treating her door to a rousing rendition of Eat Bertha's Mussels, it let her in to get some things. Of course, she had to sing All For Me Grog to get out again.

After lunch took an unexpected turn which ended up with trip to the clinic.

So Pippi is very confused, and she didn't get to eat much of her lunch, so she's also hungry.

You know what that means.

Pancakes.

This paper was going to kill her brain. Nadia made her way slowly back upstairs to the fifth floor, following the smell of pancakes.

Of course, pancakes meant Pippi was there.

And Pippi would want to know WTF? from lunch.

Well, she supposed Pippi deserved an explanation.

"Hello,"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello Nadia or whoever you are or whoever you think you are." Pippi said pleasantly, "Would you like some pancakes?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Sounds good," Nadia said, just as cheerfully. "Terribly sorry about the confusion in the lunch room and the clinic."

From Pippi's laptop on the table, the Romones ground out their five cords.

20 20 20 20 4 hours to go oh oh
I wanna be sedated.
Nothin' to do nowhere to go oh.
I wanna be sedated.
Jus get me inna wheel chair.
Get me onna plane.
Hurry hurry hurry now
Before I go insane.

I can't control my fingers.
I can't control my brain.
Oh no no no oh no!

"No need to be sorry, has it worn off then?"

Bah bam bam ba bam
Bah bam bam ba bam
I wanna be sedated!

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia approved the musical choice. "There was nothing to wear off." She grinned.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Come again?"

Bah bam bam ba bam
Bah bam bam ba bam
I wanna be sedated!

Walter came in with his purchases from Empire and stopped to hear Nadia's explanation of lunch.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "I said there's nothing to wear off!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Okay, I heard that. What do you mean by it?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia plopped down on the couch. "It wasn't a spell or anything. Blair and I were talking this morning about being a double agent--pretending to work for the Man, but actually working against him. So I dared Blair to pretend he supported the Man all day today."

20 20 20 4 hours to go oh oh
I wanna be sedated.

Pippi is laughing over the music.

"Oh no! And I almost hit him with a chair!"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia laughed as well. "I wouldn't have let you, don't worry. Though I nearly lost it when he ate the paper."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"The clinic guy seemed to take it fairly well. Too bad he couldn't offer medicinal alcohol."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, he did get overrun by weetiny students on Saturday. He's probably just numb from the shock."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I will have my revenge." Said Pippi plating up some pancakes.

[nadiathesaint]

"On the clinic guy?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeah." Pippi said with a grin. "The clinic guy... Right."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Since the entire charade was the clinic guy's doing, you mean?" Walter asked, heading over to get some pancakes.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Obviously." she said handing him a plate.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia frowned. Wait, but--

Oh.

Aw crap.

"Could I have a pancake?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was snickering as he loaded his own plate.

Served her right for making him think she'd been gremlin-bit.

[nadiathesaint]

Hey, at least she'd let him know. Eventually.

"Please? Pancake?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi handed Nadia a plate with several pancakes.

All is well.

For now.

Revenge is a dish best served apart from pancakes.

[nadiathesaint]

Yay! Pancakes!

"Thanks!" Mmm. Best wife ever.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"So, apparently by Lucas' standards I'm a drag queen," Walter said, timing the statement for a moment when Nadia was taking a bite of pancake.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi reached for a napkin to offer Nadia.

[nadiathesaint]

Commence choking. And grabbing napkin and attempting to regain composure before looking up and saying "What?"

Then pausing.

"Well, you have worn a dress. . . ."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

And I looked damned good in it.

The choking was everything he'd hoped for. The dark side of butler-fu.

"Yes, but I was female at the time. So that doesn't count or every other girl at the prom was a drag queen, too."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah, but Lucas might not know you were a girl?" Nadia put her plate down, fearing another choking incident. "How exactly did you find this out?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I went in to Empire to look for some new music." He reached for the bag and dumped out the two CDs and button he'd gotten earlier. "And I asked him about ABBA. He said that it was generally more appreciated by drag queens than by your average teenage boy."

He shrugged and grinned. "I liked it."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled at the CDs and especially the button, then grinned back at Walter. "Of course you did. As I said, ABBA was much better than the Partridge Family."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"ABBA is great! I love ABBA." said Pippi, who was probably biased.

Rock rock
Rock rock
Rock and Roll High Schoooooooooooooo!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter slid the CD over to Pippi. "When you're done listening to, on a guess, 'Rock and Roll High School,' go ahead and put this in."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia picked up the other CD and looked it over. "What's this one, more 'drag queen' music?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi brushed invisible crumbs off her hands and switched the CD out for Walter.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Not more 'drag queen music.' I asked Lucas about bands that might have easy guitars for those just learning. He suggested 'Dingos Ate My Baby.' Nice name, yes?" He didn't mention Green Day. It would just be... weird.

[nadiathesaint]

Friday night and the lights are lowwwww. . . .

Nadia grinned again, doing a little shoulder dance as she picked her plate of pancakes back up.

"Weird, but it could be good. Lucas usually has pretty good taste."
