The roof, Thursday morning

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia couldn't currently play her guitar, since she couldn't get her left hand around the frets. So instead, she was sitting on the edge of the roof with her stereo, listening to songs that had a lot of guitar in them and trying to figure out in her head what the chords were.

She might have been playing a bit of air guitar.

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor,
you know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

She'd really missed this roof.

Jamie is doing his morning wandering routine and ends up on the roof.

"Hey Roomie."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey." Nadia stopped air guitaring. "Though I'm not sure I qualify, since I haven't been in the room in awhile,"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie shrugged. "Yeah well the whole clinic thing makes it understandable. Your sister dropped by again yesterday but was nice enough not to threaten me this time."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia laughed slightly. "Well, that's good." She wondered if she should correct Jamie on the sister thing? She and Veronica really didn't look alike, and she had a foreign accent. . . . "What was she after, then?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh, she wanted me to keep an eye on you. And your brother called the other day and went ballistic when he found out about you being in the clinic. Can I just say that your family is way overprotective of you?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia rolled her eyes. She could easily guess who had claimed to be her brother. "Yeah, I know. Marty called me at the clinic, too, to yell at me for getting hurt while he was out of town. Fortunately, I convinced him not to come running back to kill Walter."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Marty? Huh. You did tell him that he was possessed, right?" Jamie asked. "And how is it you have so many siblings here at this school?"

[nadiathesaint]

"He said possession was no excuse. If he'd kept going, I might have had to remind him about the gremlin bites." Nadia shrugged with a grin. "And would you believe our parents had lots and lots of money to send us all to private school?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Your family's rich? That must be nice. You guys don't look alike but you sure seem to have the same adverse reactions to strangers showing up in your room," Jamie noted. "And you know so far I haven't seen a single gremlin or snow demon? I did see a Zombie though last night."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, Mother was barren so they had to adopt." Did enjoying telling people lies make Nadia a bad person? "And, actually, I've never seen a gremlin, either. The school had some exterminators come in after the bite support group got bitten en mass."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"En Mass? That's a painful place to be bitten," Jamie said with a nod. "Well if you all were adopted that certainly explains the personality quirks."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia frowned. "I don't have any personality quirks. . . . I'm totally normal."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well not you of course," Jamie said with a little eyeroll. "You're perfectly normal. Nothing odd about you. Nothing at all."

[nadiathesaint]

She nodded once. "Right. Okay, well except for the creepy dreaming thing. But that's not a personality quirk."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"And normal people carry a meat mallet on their person at all times?"

[nadiathesaint]

"They do when they were attacked by demons at a friend's birthday party. And robots in shop class. And fish monsters on a moonlight cruise. And--wait, no, I think that just about covers it,"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Jeez girl, what are you? Xander? A demon trouble magnet?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Only when my mun get's bored. No, I told you, weird things happen in Fandom."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

When your mun gets bored you turn into Xander?

"Seem to happen to you a lot. Nothing weird has happened to me yet. Or anyone else that I've seen so far."

[nadiathesaint]

Yes, you haven't noticed?

Nadia raised an eyebrow. "You've been here a week. I've been here since January. Give it time."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"See... I'm thinking everyone here is just playing with me on this whole mega-weird thing. So far? I've only seen the weird."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, maybe the mega-weird takes a summer vacation."

[ooc: afk for a bit for social lunch time. bbl]

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well maybe this is just an elaborate prank played on the newbies."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia raised an eyebrow. "Yes. You've seen through our clever ruse. There are no gremlins or weetiny bunnies. No possessed people. I'm wearing a cast on my arm for fun."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh I know posessions are real," Jamie said with a nod. "Girl I knew once was possessed by a psychic mutant, so I believe that happened. I'm just talking about the weird stuff you guys bring up."

[nadiathesaint]

"Have you noticed the fact that you don't find possessions or psychic mutants to be weird, but small rabbits freak you out?" Nadia tilted her head. "Maybe it's just that you're the strange one."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Hey, where I'm from? Posessions, psychic mutants and that sort of stuff happen all the time. Wee tiny rabbits that dance? Not so much."

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, where I'm from, possessions and psychic mutants never happen and weetiny bunnies that dance are also rarities, but I've adjusted alright."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Really? I feel like I should give you a gold star," Jamie said with small grin. "Can I put it on your cast and sign it?"

[nadiathesaint]

"You'd get the first signature. Got a marker?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie dug through his pockets and held up a small tube. "No. Um.. I got a chapstick."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled. "I don't think that'll work. You wanna try sending yourself for one, or should we just worry about cast-signing later?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"We'll take care of it later. I better head out, I've got work and a couple of errands to do today."

[nadiathesaint]

"What, all by yourself?"

[ooc: seriously dude, what did you do, hit every dorm post? I so need a duplicating character. . . .]

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well... I do have help," Jamie said with a mischievious grin.

[ooc: *evil laughter*]

[nadiathesaint]

"Okay, but don't come complaining to me when you suddenly have another evil duplicate running around. I've had about enough of friends beating on each other for quite awhile."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Oh I don't think that'll happen again," Jamie said not worrying to much about it. "That kind of thing only happens in soap operas."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia wondered if she should tell him about suddenly discovering that she was Sydney Bristow's long last half-sister.

Probably not. He thought she had enough siblings already.

"Suit yourself."

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Nadia!" Demyx greeted with a smothered yawn. The roof was his most-visited place here thus far, and definitely his favorite. Especially when other people were there.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled without getting up. "Hey Demyx, how are you?"

[electric-sitar.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty good. Sleepy. Did you know you don't sleep at slumber parties?" He walked over to sit near her, cocking his head sideways at the radio. "What's that?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Yep." Nadia leaned forward, resting her cast on her knees and turned the radio down. "Jeff Buckley. His songs are pretty, but they're kind of depressing."

[ooc: off from work now, back in about an hour or so!]
