5th Floor Commonroom - Sunday Afternoon

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is here making sandwiches. Have one, won't you?

Her laptop is playing music, because she can't sing herself.

This song kinda reminds her of somebody... Now who could that be?

Early in the morning risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
But I got a dalmatian and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fuckin riot
Life is too short so love the one you got cause you might get
runover or you might get shot
Never start no static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example
A tip from me take all of your money and give it up to charity
Lovin's what I got
It's within my reach
And the sublime style's still straight from long beach
It all comes back to you you're gonna get what you deserve
Try and test that you're bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You feel it when the dance gets hot
That's why I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot, hits
the bottle and goes back to the rock
Fuckin and fighting it's all the same
Livin' with Louie dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin come back to me.

"..." Good morning sleepy head.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter rolled his eyes at her and held out a hand to demand the tool of his waking.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi passed him a sandwich and the fizzy lemonade.

She looked around the room and then pat the couch with an inquisitive look on her face.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged and fished out the ubiquitous paper and pen. Nadia's out. Agreed to meet here at curfew.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter frowned. What about Jamie?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shook his head. She didn't tell me. After a moment he added. Glad he'll be ok.

He made a face and stood up to go look out the window at the quiet campus below.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi stood at the window with Walter and put an arm around his shoulders.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was ironically thankful for the silence that prevented both questions and his spilling the result of the night's brooding and the weekend's events. He put an arm around her and stood in silence.

Pippi had found a penny.

She offered it to Walter.

For his thoughts.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter took the penny and raised an eyebrow at her.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi pointed at the penny and then gently tapped him on the temple.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter leaned his head against the window and shook his head before pulling out a fresh piece of paper and writing

1. Nadia.
2. Alucard
3. Cally
4. Alucard and Nadia
5. Cally and Nadia
6. Selfish
7. Confused

Pippi took out a pen of her own and crossed out number 6. Then thought better of that and scribbled it out.

She put a question mark next to 7.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Next to 5, he added, Heard podcast of Nadia's call to Barbosa.

He waited a moment then added next to number 2 Miss him. Not fair to Nadia.

Next to number 1, he added, Don't know what to do. Thing with Cally a problem. Thing with Alucard a problem. "Just friends" is shite.

He added a few underlines to 7.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Next to #2.
Fiddlesticks. Feeling guilty for missing somebody you care about isn't fair to you.

Just friends with Alucard? You have not given yourself permission to miss him. How can you have tried to be friends with him?

Next to #7 she adds.

Life is...

And after she adds.

Otherwise it would be very dull.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shook his head at #2.

Just friends with Nadia. He made a face. Just friends not an option with Alucard. I miss him. Thinking about trying to make things right between us. Right = no Nadia. Not fair to either of them otherwise.

Even thinking about it while with her = not fair to Nadia.

And she's interested in Cally. Calling Barbosa when I was gone for two days. Not really fair to me.

He thought about and decided against mentioning Friday night. That wasn't just his secret to tell.

Sucks.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Didn't know about calling Barbosa, must have missed that day.

Next to "Sucks".
Sometimes yes.

She squeezed him with the arm around his shoulders as she wrote.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter nodded and shrugged. Not good time to decide. No voice to talk about it with her, demons out there, roommate in the clinic, bad email from home for her. Not going to add to the problems with this.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi responded by leaning her head against his and scratching out where #6 was more.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter laughed soundlessly and turned around to give Pippi a hug.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Yay hug!
