Fifth floor common room, Friday morning (starting at 11 am)

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was up early, in her swim suit top and a pair of cut offs, sitting on the floor in front of the tv with her tubs of blue, white, and yellow paint.

Even if Argentina didn't win, the game was likely to be intense. She was really looking forward to it.

[ooc: appointment postponed, up for slowplay (or not so slow play) as I watch the game. go Argentina!]

Conner had not been camped out in the fifth floor common room since about 6 in the morning. Really he hadn't; he just looked like he had.

He was curled up half asleep on one of the couches with a dorky, anticipatory grin on his face, surrounded by bottles of soda, bags of chip, and five different kinds of dip and salsa.

Sadly, he was not wearing Argentina colors. His wardrobe didn't exactly allow for it, but he was blue, gold, and white in spirit at least. For today, anyway.

"Need some paint?" Nadia asked. "We could do a sun on your face."

Buffy was looking for breakfast, not football. She did pause to glance at the tv though, because, shorts, omg!

[nadiathesaint]

"Morning Buffy! You want to cheer for my team?" Nadia was slowly covering her torso in paint, carefully painting the right stripes before putting on the sun.

"Buh?" asked Conner, blinking. "Oh, sure. Why not? Hey, we could even do the whole hardcore fan thing and paint a flag on my chest."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned. "Sure! I don't know if it actually helps, but it's fun, at least." She turned to yell in Spanish at the TV as Argentina got a yellow card.

"Plus, we should always encourage shirtlessness."

"What's your team then?" Buffy asked. She was, of course, totally willing to get some cheer practice in.

[nadiathesaint]

"Argentina! They're in the dark blue. The white is Germany. We don't like them."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Okay -- geez, yellow card already?" Conner yawned a little and sat up to pull his shirt off. "It's just not the same without the shirtless guys yelling, you know? I'm doing my part to contribute to the atmosphere."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yay!" Nadia shook her head. "The captain can't play next game if we win because of those yellow cards. It's insane."

Half time! And beyond!

[nadiathesaint]

The score was still 0-0, but Germany had gotten in a few goal shots, and Nadia was getting nervous. She touched up her paint as she ignored the commercials and the half-time show.

"Come on, Ayala, Rodriguez, get your asses in gear."

[ooc: weee OCD going up as I watch. All threads will stay open for play, of course.]

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"It's been like foul trick-or-treat all tournament," Conner agreed, shaking his head as he tossed his shirt aside. "Okay, about that paint . . ."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia pulled the paint pots over to the couch, keeping an eye on the television the whole time. "Big flag? Little one?"

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy nodded solemnly. "Go! Big! Blue!" she cheered, with arm movements and everthing. Then she went to find breakfast before cheering more.

[nadiathesaint]

"Woooo!" Nadia added. "Maybe at half time I'll make some empanadas."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner was also pretty fixated on the TV the whole time. "Might as well go for a big one, right?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I like the way you think." Nadia dipped her fingers in the blue and started smearing it on Conner's chest. "Tell me if I'm missing anything."

Coming back with a bowl of cereal a couple minutes later, Buffy dropped down on the floor and tried to figure out what was going on with the shorts guys.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was busy screaming for Rodriguez. "Oh, oh, oh--aahhhhhh! So close."

And into overtime!

[nadiathesaint]

1-1, with a magnificent corner kick to head in by Rodriguez and Ayala, but Germany's goal took Argentina's best goalie off the field with an injury. Nadia would be on the edge of her seat, if she weren't already on the floor only a few feet from the TV.

"Come on, you did it against Mexico, do it again. We don't want this going to penalty kicks."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"If you're gonna do it, might as well do it right," Conner replied, poking a finger into the blue paint and drawing a stripe down his nose just because, and an 'A' in yellow on each cheek.

"Heya bed buddy," Cally said with a chuckle as she wandered into the common room.

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy was pretty much taking Nadia's word for it. "Go whatsyourface!" she cheered loyally.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia started into the white center stripe. "Absolutely. Hopefully the players'll do that, too."

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey Cally! Sleep okay?"
