The Roof: Saturday Early Evening [9-30]

Lana crept quietly up to the roof, checking to make sure no one was there before going to sit near the edge and stare off into space. She made sure to sit well back from Bel's plants. She looked, well... terrible.

Bel had been looking for Lana since Blair's phone call the night before and now finally found her up on the roof. "Hey," he said, carefully approaching her. "What's wrong?"

"Bel..." Lana looked a little startled.

She hesitated, biting her lip. "Nothing," she lied. "Just... sitting up here."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel pulled out a cigarette and lit it. "Yeah, and I'm an angel."

Lana ducked her head, looking embarassed. "It's just... a really bad day. I'm screwing everything up as usual."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel was silent for a moment. "You kill anybody?" he asked finally.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana glanced up at him. "No..."

[demonbelthazor]

"There, then it could be a lot worse," he said, settling down beside her. "So what happened?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I screwed everything up with Jim."

She pulled her knees into her chest and wrapped her arms around them. "And Blair thought... terrible things."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel blinked. "Blair thinking terrible things? That doesn't sound like Blair. What did you do? What did he say?"

Joxer wasn't sure why he was headed to the roof. He just felt like it was the place to go to emo.

"Hi Lana. Hi Bel," he said, before sitting down and propping his head in his hands and heaving out a sad sigh.

"Hi, Joxer," Lana said. "You probably don't want to sit too close to me. I think maybe I'm cursed."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

Joxer frowned even more. "How are you cursed?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"I wreck people's lives."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Well, you can't wreck mine, so I won't leave... unless you don't want me around, which I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case," he said.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Why wouldn't I want you around? Especially if I can't wreck your life. You might be the only safe person for me to be around."

"I'm useless, pig-headed, and most of all, I'm a lousy hero," Joxer said. "I couldn't even get elected onto that council thingy."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Me neither. The student council thingy, I mean," Lana said. "Though it's already been established that I'm useless and I know I'd be a terrible hero."

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"You have Jim, though, don't you?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Hey, Joxer," Bel said. "What's up?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"Not my life," Joxer said.

[demonbelthazor]

"What is it with everyone today?" Bel said. "What's wrong?"

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I... I'm pathetic," Joxer said.

[demonbelthazor]

"What's prompting this now?" Bel said.

[joxertehmighty.livejournal.com]

"I just woke up and realized it," Joxer said. "No one loves me. I think even Kaylee just pities me."

[demonbelthazor]

"Did you eat cafeteria food this morning or yesterday or something?" Bel said suspiciously.
