The roof, Sunday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had spent the afternoon thinking about what Pippi had said about writing a song about the roof, so, since it still wasn't exactly cold out, she decided to head on up with her guitar and start working on her song, again.

She sat down with her guitar and as she tuned up, looked over the town and around the roof, thinking of all the times she'd been up here, and searching for inspiration.

One thing kept popping into her head:

"No emo on the roof!"

Hmm. She could do something with that. . . .

[ooc: ze roof, she is always open!]

Then Nadia was up on the roof on entirely the wrong night for Walter.

He wandered up to the roof with a bottle in hand, after having made a trip to the weapons locker to ensure that his original set of rings were safely locked away. The last thing he needed was for someone to get their hands on them and become a self-amputee.

He wore the new set that Alfred had given him earlier in the day. The metal shone more than the other original rings' had. He'd get used to the subtle differences in reaction from them with a little time.

But that wasn't really pertinent when he saw Nadia up there with her guitar. He sat down near her on the edge. Distraction might be good.

"Hey. Practice time?"

After hanging out at the party in the common room, Pippi wandered up to the roof.

Nadia smiled up at him, not noticing the new rings for the time being. "Trying to write a song. Pippi suggested I write something about the roof."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded to Pippi, not taking her hands off the guitar. "Hey, Pippi."

Billy rather liked the roof. Fresh air and nice view and all that. And of course;

"You guys are kinda like the three musketeers you know that?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

After lighting a cigarette, he nodded asked, "I hope you don't mind if I sit and listen?" Which was more out of polite habit than because he expected her to tell him to go.

"Can I be the funny one that's played by that guy who's in that other movie?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Hmm, I don't know, it was going to be a surprise," Nadia teased. "Of course you can stay. You doing okay?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey. Oh that's right, you're writing a song? I can go."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter blew a cloud of smoke in the air and shrugged. "It seems that way sometimes, doesn't it?"

[nadiathesaint]

"You don't have to. I took your advice, I'm trying to write one about the roof."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Do you have a tune?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I have my usual remedy." He held up his cigarette, "Nicotine, alcohol," he lifted the bottle and waved it toward the open roof area, "and I came up here to do what I always do."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia plucked out something punkish and Spanish inspired. It was a short little thing. "That's it so far."

[nadiathesaint]

"Don't let Pip catch you. He'll yell at you. 'No emo on the roof!'"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter waved to Pippi. "Hey."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter made a muttered suggestion of something anatomically improbable that Pip could do in those circumstances accompanied by the ghost of a hand gesture that was rude in most English-speaking countries and quite a few non-English speaking countries.

Pippi nodded her head in time for the music.

"That's pretty."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey.". Pippi said sitting down next to him. "How's my favorite butler?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeesh," said Nadia. "Good answer." She started strumming softly, trying to think of something that might rhyme with what Walter had just said.

Whgat? It was a song for a punk band.

[nadiathesaint]

"Thanks. I like it. I'm trying to think of words to go along with it."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"He's alright," Walter said, leaning his head on her shoulder. "Just thinking."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Wasn't he a pirate though?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was only slightly envious of the friendship. "It's pretty cool actually."

[nadiathesaint]

"Are you saying I can't be a pirate?"
