Second Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

Conner bolted back upstairs after basketball practice and got ready for the World Cup final. As a result of his conversation with Nadia from Friday, he was dressed -- if one could call it that -- for the occasion in what was essentially an Italian-flag loincloth, and red, green, and white body paint.

Nobody was in the second floor common room, so he hijacked it for the cool TV and got comfortable (standing, because body paint) before the game started.

France vs. Italy. Plus, Julie Foudy at halftime. Last night might have been a fiasco, but today life was good.

"It involved singing. And stolen boxers, and changing hair colors, and exploding cheesecake, and then everyone got detention."

"Singing, stolen boxers . . . why didn't I just stay in Fandom after graduation?" Ivanova dropped her head back against the couch with a regretful groan.

"Well, I'm sure they'll do something else interesting, this time."

"I hope so, because I can apparently give out detention now. And I just love abusing power."

Nadia raised an eyebrow. "Oh really. I'll just have to stay on your good side, then, won't I."

"Don't worry," she said expansively. "I am a benevolent dictator. Who believes strongly in the importance of nepotism and favourites.."

Nadia laughed. "Well, okay then. Can I get a share of the power, then?"

"But of course. I need a lieutenant I can trust."
nadiathesaint: (what?)

[personal profile] nadiathesaint 2006-07-09 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Then just call me Lieutenant Santos." Nadia paused. "What does a lieutenant do?"

"Usually they're the one who actually takes out the gun when I say "kill the prisoners". Or if a lackey says, "He's just one man, what can one man do?", you get to shoot him."

"Oh." Nadia thought about this. "Are you going to give me a gun, or should I use a squirt gun?"

"A squirt gun will do until I complete my takeover of the island."

"Ah. Okay then. Have you recruited anyone else?"

And she probably shouldn't mention that her country and her politics naturally lead her to the conclusion that she should start an underground group to counteract Ivanova's power. . . .

"Not yet. I thought I'd start with my class and work out from there."

Ivanova would probably end up leading a workers' revolt against herself in the end.

"Good strategy."
