The Roof, Thursday Morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel stiffly made his way up onto the roof Thursday morning. He checked on his garden, which seemed to be faring better since he put up the non-emo zone around it, and ascertained that Blair had indeed not set up a motion-triggered disco ball. He wasn't sure what was worse, emo plants or plants gyrating to the Village People.

Then he wandered to the other side of the roof and lit up a cigarette, brooding on recent events. He had to shake this and get on with things, or else his plans for less emo and less flailing this school year would be off to a bad start.

The roof had been so mch fun yesterday that she just decided to go up again. Oh look. Someone else was here. "Hello." She waves gently, noticing this person looks a bit upset.

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey," Bel said, raising his hand for a wave.

She walks over. "You don't look so good.. Are you feeling okay? My name's Matilda by the way, I'm sorry to intrude. I'll leave you alone if you want" She tests a helpful looking smile.

[demonbelthazor]

"Belthazor," Bel said gruffly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just have some stuff on my mind." He shrugged a little. "It's kinda nice to think up here, y'know?"

[bookwormwood.livejournal.com]

"Yeah it seems like it." She doesn't quite know how to help so she's quiet and let him talk if he feels like it.

[demonbelthazor]

"So, you new around here then?" Bel asked idly, taking a drag off his cigarette. No one said he had to talk about himself.

"Yeah, it's a really nice school. You seem like you know the place, I think you;d agree." She smiles.

((ack... class))

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, it has its moments," Bel said. "Everybody given you all the standard warnings?"

Cally wandered up with a tin cup and a very nervous expression.

"Oh, uh, hi Bel."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel looked Cally over. "What's wrong?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I might be about to accidently kill myself?" Cally said.

[demonbelthazor]

"I might have to accidentally stop you then?" Bel said.

"Well, if I start convulsing, just shimmy me to the clinic," Cally said. "I'm, uhh, gonna see if batch two is drinkable." She pointed at the Viper.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel cocked his head. "Isn't it a little early in the morning for that?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I'm just gonna sip," Cally said. "No one said anything about, like, throwing a drunken roof party or something."

[demonbelthazor]

"Got it," Bel said. "Well, let me have a sip, too, then."

Nadia wandered up to the roof to enjoy the nice, if a bit cool, weather.

She frowned when she saw Bel.

"Oh. It's you."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel rolled his eyes. Great. "One word out of you and I may throw you off the roof," he growled.

[nadiathesaint]

"Try it." Nadia rolled her eyes, then started to look concerned. "Where is Phoebe, anyway? I thought she was only going away for the weekend?"

[demonbelthazor]

"She's at home," Bel said flatly. "Recovering."

[nadiathesaint]

"From what?"

[demonbelthazor]

"She got mugged Sunday night in San Francisco," Bel said. He tossed down his cigarette, ground it out, and lit up another one.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia stared for a long moment, trying to see if Bel might be lying.

Then she sat down on the ledge of the roof a litte bit heavily. "What is wrong with this week."

[demonbelthazor]

"Been wondering that myself," Bel muttered, inhaling smoke.

Billy came up to do his morning stretches.
