5th Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

John Dorian is sitting in the 5th floor common room, attempting to conceal very large quantities of paint. However, he is not doing a very good job about it, so anyone poking their head in can probably see not only that there is paint, but that there seems to be inordinate number of pastels. He is trying, obviously, to look innocent as he waits for some of his friends to, hopefully arrive.

Maybe I should have left a message or something.

((OOC: Open to all. We're gonna paint the common room, and maybe some other stuff. There's a lot of paint. However, there is an octopus on one of the walls in the common room, complete with pirate accoutrements, so don't paint over that. We're just adding some... uh... personality.))

"Would you help me with that?"

Pip was quiet for a while and finally sighed and shook his head. "...Normally, Pippi, yes. I would love to. But... just not right now. I'm really not in the mood for it."

Pip sighed again. "It's nothing. You'll think I'm being childish."

Pippi put her paint brush down and reached for his hand.

Childish? Seriously.

"No. I promise I won't think you're being childish... Cross my hart and hope to spit." she said venturing a small joke.

Pip pinched the bridge of his nose where the small white strip that always covered it was. "The whole band thing," he said.

"I know you're disappointed." she said putting an arm around him. "I'm am too. That's not childish. Is there something else?"

Pip looked around and sunk down into a couch. "Yes."

Pippi sat down with him.

"You can tell me."

Pip bowed his head. "If someone I taught to play guitar myself, someone whom I've been playing for a good five and a half years longer than, if that person is selected instead of me, then maybe being a musician isn't really an option open to me. Maybe it wasn't ever. Maybe he was right all along and that all I'll ever be able to be is a mercenary fighting over a grubby dollar. In which case... maybe I am a completely worthless war dog."

Pippi pulled him closer and smoothed his hair.

"That's not true." she said. "It's just one band Pip. Maybe Zero just wanted somebody who could sing too. Maybe she just doesn't like Mint Royale. It doesn't matter. I know who that Gypsy guy is because I saw a thing where he was being interviewed by some man with a TV Show back then and that man didn't like how he played the American National Anthem. But the Gypsy didn't care, he said he thought it was beautiful and that's why he played it like that. And the man with the TV show realized that what he'd said was stupid, you could see it on his face. Just because the TV host didn't like how he played didn't make the Gypsy a bad musician. But he couldn't take it back, because I guess his show was live. And I don't know who it was said those terrible things about you to you, but he's wrong too."

"That would be my grandfather," Pip said in response to the last question. It's hard to tell if he's really listening or not.

"Well, he's wrong." Pippi said. "You're not worthless. You're one of the most worthy people I've ever met."

Pip sighed. "I just really don't know. I think Nadia thinks I'm angry at her."

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-09-05 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"I do." Pippi said. "How do you feel in regards to Nadia?"

"It isn't her fault," Pip said. "Unless she made some sort of back alley deal with them which I honestly don't think any of them would do. It's hard not to have some ill feelings towards her, though."

"You should talk to her at some point."
