Fifth floor common room, Wednesday evening

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia had set herself up in the kitchen with a large pot full of a watered-down mix of black ink, dye, and latex paint, and lots and lots of newspaper.

She was currently attempting to get the stuffed, winged pink pony into the pot.

"No, no, it's lots of fun, I promise!"

"It doesn't look very nice or happy or friendly," the pony would reply.

"Just get in the pot!"

"Why don't we play Candyland instead?" asked the pony.

It wasn't going well.

Nadia blinked at that. ". . . Was it trying to escape?"

Broots pondered the question. "Actually, I think it was more like suicide. He kept reciting Amleth."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia just kind of stared. ". . . suicidal giraffe? Wow, you might win."

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

"...Yeah, I might. See, now? I'm pondering what made him be suicidal."

[nadiathesaint]

"Any ideas?"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots considered the question. "Well, he was a present from my sister. Spending any time with her would make you depressed."

[nadiathesaint]

"That's the second time I've heard you complain about your sister. She can't be that bad,"

"Her goal in life is torment me, remind me of how much of a looser I am and how much she rocks, and use my first name."

[nadiathesaint]

". . . What's wrong with your first name?"

Broots sighed and rolled his eyes. "It's a girls' name. Both my first name and middle name are stupid girls' names."

[nadiathesaint]

"Aww, I bet they're not that bad. Tell me!"

[dorky-broots.livejournal.com]

Broots sighed. "You are sworn to secrecy. SWORN."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia raised her right hand and her left eyebrow. "Secrets are my business. I'll keep this secret under threat of torture."

NFB OMG!

Broots sighed and leaned in to whisper in her ear. "Jacqueline Claire." He straightened. "That's why I go by my last name or at least J.C."

"Well, you could go by Jack, I guess. . . ." Nadia shook her head. "Why would your parents give you that much of a girl's name?"

Re: NFB OMG!

Broots sighed. "I hate going by Jack. My dad is always calling me that. It sounds like a jock's name. And because my dad was 100% sure I was a girl, clerical error!, and mom was firmly asleep."

Nadia giggled slightly. "Oh, I'm sorry. That's not funny. Well, your secret is very safe with me, Not-Gremlin."

Broots rolled. "I like that more than my real name. Can you imagine how much I was teased in elementray school?"

"Oh man, yeah," said Nadia, who had no idea, having never been to an elementary school.
