Roof, Tuesday night

[nadiathesaint]

Okay, so it was raining, but it was also a bit warmer than it had been recently, and Nadia felt that the roof had been much neglected.

So she was sitting on the edge of it with an umbrella in one hand, looking out over the town and making up rhymes about the colors of the street lights reflecting off the pavement.

It was funny how you could tell someone something and then later realize that it's true. Her conversation with Aziraphale had been like that.

And if even an angel can worry too much about his friends and blame himself for them getting hurt, then who was to blame a lowly human for doing the same thing?

[ooc: open. I don't wanna stare at my NaNo right now.]

"Can't wait. I've never been to Vegas before," Conner said.

[nadiathesaint]

"Neither have I. I've only seen the stuff about it on TV."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Same here. Mostly the weird reality cop shows. Oh, and that movie about the lounge singer hiding out in a nun choir?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I don't think I've seen that one. I saw the one about the people who use science to solve weird furry crimes, though."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

". . . crimes against teddy bears?"

[nadiathesaint]

"People dressed up as them, yes."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"People would beat up on people for dressing up as teddy bears. What, are they like fashion vigilantes or something?" Conner had not yet been exposed to the wonderful world of furdom.

[nadiathesaint]

"Aaaand sexual deviants, yes."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Wait a second, sexual deviants in teddy -- oh, freaktastic!" Hear that sound? That was the last of Conner's innocence imploding.

"Ye-ep. It was weird. But I don't think Vegas will be like that. . . . Maybe."

"I can't believe they're actually letting us stay at a posh hotel and run around on our own out there. I mean, this is us."

[nadiathesaint]

"Shhhhhh. Don't jinx it."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner quickly crossed his fingers and did a little two-step dance. "I didn't say a word."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned at the anti-jinx. "Good. And Mr. Phale says that as long as we don't get hurt, we can do whatever we want."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Sounds easy enough. How much could we get hurt, anyway?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I know, really? It's not like we don't know how to handle ourselves."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"We go to this school. It's kind of a basic survival skill."

[nadiathesaint]

"Exactly my point."
