The roof, Thursday evenin

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia hit the roof in the evening as it started to get relatively cool. She propped her laptop up on her knees and stared vaguely at her adventure story.

Elena, Mario, and Calliope had escaped the Nazi zeppelin with the aid of the intrepid mercenary, Pippin. They were now sailing across the sea on Penelope's ship, searching for an elusive siren maiden, Phillipa. Elena had just dived off the edge of the boat after Phillipa, while Penelope and Pippin were "occupied" below decks, and Mario and Calliope were shouting encouragement.*

Trouble was, Phillipa just didn't want to be caught, and Nadia wasn't sure how to get her to the point where she would be.


*At Elena. Not at Penelope and Pippin. Not to say they weren't encouraging of Penelope and Pippin, but just not in person.

[ooc: open. I'm borrrrrrrred, come play with me and encourage the further adventures of Elena and her gang! Also, I'm optimistic that I will SOMEHOW be online this evening.]

Seras huffed onto the roof and flopped down.

It would be safe to say that yes, she was sulking.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked up at Seras.

"You're sulking."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Your observations skills are remarkable. Small wonder you were accepted into spy school."

Seras sighed and scuffed the roof with her sneaker.

"Ever tried to convince a hooker that you *weren't* naked in All and Sudries?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Can't say I have."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Yeah...Well apparently not every squirrel (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/962830.html?thread=51162382#t51162382) in fandom is noble."

Seras glared of into the distance for a few moments, possibly plotting squirrely wrath, then turned back to Nadia.

"So, how've you been?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Not naked in All and Sundries, that's for sure,"

Ooooo, Sindy was totally going in the story.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Neither was I!"

Yes, the lament was getting old, but it was the principle of the thing, blast it.

"Right...well, I'll admit that the outfit was somewhat...questionable in taste, but that was all they gave me to wear."

[nadiathesaint]

". . . Okay, who's 'they' and why are they deciding what you're going to wear?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"'They' were the...attendants in the, um, the Women's Quarters. And, I guess they just get to decide what everyone wears. That seemed to be the case, anyhow."

"Homework?" Penelope Pippi asked as she climbed up over the edge of the roof.

[nadiathesaint]

"Nope." Nadia scowled.

Mario dove over the edge of the boat after Elena and Phillipa.

"Hmmm."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Oh! You writin' that story you don't want anybody to read yet?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded absently.

Calliope dithered on the edge of the boat, torn between going to find Penelope for help, or jumping in after her friends.

Pippi was really curious what it was Nadia was writing, but she didn't want to be rude.

"Nice night..." she said swinging her feet off the side.

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah. . . . Okay, how would one go about catching a mermaid?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"You mean Phoebe or mermaids in general?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Both?"

The relentless heat finally drove Hamlet up the stairs from his room to the roof. It was still incredibly hot up there, but not nearly as stuffy as it had been in the dorms. He took a minute to try and remember if he had been on the roof since the clean up of the School Beautification Committee, before noticing that he wasn't alone.

"I wasn't aware that other people used this space."

[nadiathesaint]

"Really?" Nadia blinked. "I'm up here all the time."

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

He considered that. "Are you really? I suppose I think that the roof is so quiet because I never remember to come up here." He grinned a bit. "Unless it involves some form of spray paint and hair dye."

He grabbed a seat on the rooftop. "Is there all that much to do up here?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I play guitar a lot. And I like being able to look out over the town. You're . . . Hamlet, right?"

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that would indeed be me. And you are..." He stopped. "You must forgive me, but I can't seem to recall your name off hand."

[nadiathesaint]

"Nadia Santos. You lent me money to buy bouncy balls at the beginning of . . . last semester."

[ihatedenmark.livejournal.com]

"Ah, that's right. Don't believe I was around to see the end result of that. How did your attack of the bouncy balls turn out?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Not bad, as I recall. Some of the people on the other floors retaliated and we ended up in a big ball fight."
