Fifth Floor Common Room, Sunday Morning

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally sat on the couch, flipping through channels until she found reruns of The Rainbow Randolph show.

The Krinkle Kids were really disturbing. Yet Cally was somehow unable to look away.

Pippi is on her way to see River in the clinic when she stops in the Common Room to grab something for breakfast.

"Morning."

[[ooc: slow play good]]

Cally waved at Pippi. "Heeeeey," she said. "How's things?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Things were... really really great... Up to a point."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh. River?" Cally chewed on her lower lip.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah but how did...."

Pippi facepalmed.

"Oh I didn't think of that! What did the radio say?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook her head. "I saw Phoebe last night," she explained. "Didn't listen to the radio, actually."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"How did she look? What did she say?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"She looked like someone hit her in the face," Cally said. "She seemed kinda, you know, flustered and stuff, given all that happened. She wasn't angry, though."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That's good at least..." Pippi said. "I don't quite understand what happened, I'm going down to talk to River at the clinic."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "Hopefully everything'll be okay. Was anyone hurt really badly?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I think Blair's arm is broken."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Ow. Poor guy," Cally said. "But hey, that's pretty low key compared to other stuff that's happened. Not that that's any real consolation."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yeah... Better then nearly getting your heart cut out I s'ppose."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally nodded. "But like I told Phoebe... things can only get better, right?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That's the plan." Pippi said smiling and nodding.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Soooo..." Cally thought for a second. "How goes stuff with Pip?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"It's going good." Pippi said smiling doofily.

Well, it was until River kicked him in the crotch.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Good to hear," Cally said. "So... how's he kiss?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"...Better then Nadia." Pippi said doofily.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally laughed. "I dunno. Nadia's a pretty good kisser."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Well I kissed both and pretended Nadia was Pip, and no offence to Nadia... But it wasn't the same... I suppose I could be biased."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Maybe probably cause Nadia wasn't trying to be a good kisser, if you... okay, that sentence wasn't making sense. But yeah, I could bet that Pip probably is a good kisser. I've read stuff about the French," Cally said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Like what kinda stuff?"

Pippi didn't know there was homework.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Well, like, the language of love stuff," Cally said. "You'd think that'd mean the people'd be really versed in the acts of it too, if their language is all about it."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I guess you have a point." It could also be why they call them 'Unfortunate French Diseases'...

"I had a 'Babysitter' who said that anything in French sounded sexy... She taught me this..." Pippi looked Cally in the eye and said in a sultry voice, "Vos lobes d'oreille ressemblent à des têtes de poissons."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Whoa," Cally said. "Sounds great... but what does it mean?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I means..." she shifted into the sultry voice again, "Your earlobes resemble fish heads."

Not the same effect probably.

"Which would be why I haven't said it to Pip."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally laughed. "Yeah, that would probably be a bad thing," she said. "But maybe learning something really nice to say, in French, would really wow him?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Nadia seemed to think learning French might intimidate him?" Pippi said. "But one phrase couldn't be bad right? What do you think would be good?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what sort of reaction you want," Cally said. "How wowed do you want him?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"...I dunno... Is there a scale?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Well, I mean, do you want him to kiss you or... more?" Cally said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Did you seriously just ask me that?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally blinked. "Sorry? Should I not have?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"No... Yes... I mean... I should think the answer would be obvious?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I dunno!" Cally said, flailing a little. "I mean, I didn't know how much, or how..." Okay, she was flailing more now.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

All the flailing is a little confusing.

"Cally? Are you okay?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry," Cally said, getting a grip on herself. "Okay. Erm. Pretend for a minute I'm dumb, which shouldn't be hard, and don't think it's obvious."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"...Um. Okay, I guess."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"So, you do want more than kissing?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes. That is correct."
