The Roof// Friday Evening

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras had, once again, spent the day in her room. However, rather then shivering under the covers, she'd merely been curled up in bed reading some of her favourite adventure novels.

Now, with her head full of deeds of daring do done by people more noble and lucky than they had any right to be, Seras climbed up onto the roof for some fresh air.

Growing up in either the city or in institutions who had a definite 'inside before dark' policy, Seras had yet to grow tired of gazing up at the stars.

She found a cozy place, took out a scarf she'd been knitting, and settled in to enjoy the show.

[Open!]

Nadia wandered up to the roof, still lost in thought after her talks with Marty and Angela. She didn't notice Seras at first, just stared at her feet as she splashed about in the puddles from the day's rain.

"Hope you've got a spare pair of socks," said Seras, "I'm a dash hand at knitting, but I don't think I could do you a new pair in less than a week."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia blinked, then smiled over at Seras. "I have plenty of socks, thanks though. What are you making?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Well, it was supposed to be a scarf, but I'm a bit skint on yarn. So, it might just end up being a very cozy handkerchief."

Seras shrugged.

"I mostly wanted to see if I still had the knack, anyhow."

[nadiathesaint]

"I've never tried knitting. But the needles always seemed really useful."

Seras smiled. She approved of Nadia's improvisational attitude towards every day objects.

"I've always suspected that to be the real reason behind the so-called 'feminine arts'" she said, "It'd be a damned sight harder for any so-called Viking or Cossak or whatever to carry you off if he's got one of these babies sticking out've his eye."

[nadiathesaint]

"Precisely."

Cally waved at Nadia, despite being half under the Viper.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia waved back at the jumpsuited legs. "How's it coming?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I think it'll be ready to attempt brewing tonight," Cally said.

[nadiathesaint]

"Oooo."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Assuming I have any idea how to set this up," Cally said. "I'm still kinda fuzzy on that."

[nadiathesaint]

"Did you try looking it up?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally came up to the roof, in her jumpsuit with toolbelt, and also hauling a bag of other supplies and a cup. She waved to folks, then started tinkering away at some machinery that was hooked up to part of the Viper.

Seras waved to Cally.

"What's that you're messing about with?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"It was a spaceship," Cally said. "Soon, it's going to be something fun for the whole student body to enjoy. Well, at least, the part of the student body that enjoys alcohol."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras blinked.

"You're building a distillery on the roof?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Cally said. "I'm making the last adjustments now."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras blinked.

"Well, that's illegal dangerous ...enterprising. What are you going to brew?"

On one hand, Aeryn really doesn't want to know what could make her day worse. On the other, if something does, she's already off the roof and could probably fling someone off of it without any real effort on her part. Happy with that knowledge, she's up for a change in scenery, and gives a nod to the others before going to sit up on the ledge.

After talking to Cally, Seras made her way over to the new-comer, albeit a bit shyly. She recognized her from around school and town, but she didn't think they'd ever met.

"It's a nice night out," she said, "Though, I was hoping to see a few stars."

[can_be_more]

"They'll be back," Aeryn assures her, craning her neck to look up. "You're not missing much."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras shrugged and looked up. She blinked and made a face as a raindrop fell in her eye.

"I grew up in a city. I'm sort of making up for lost time."

[can_be_more]

It's almost weird for her to be having a conversation about this, but she can work with it. It's actually a nice change. "What city?" she asks. She probably doesn't know where it is, but it gives her a reason to find out.

"London," said Seras, "England, Planet Earth."

Her time in Fandom had taught her that adding those last two qualifiers was rather important.

"Yourself?"
