Fifth floor common room, Friday evening/night

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia decided being social would take her mind off her birthday thoughts.

So she was in the common room now, instead of her dorm room, staring out at the rain.

This? Totally counted as progress.

Walter came in with a towel on his head. For towel rather than fashion purposes.

"Is it raining like this on the mainland?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked up from her window gazing. "Not according to the internet. They've got clear skies."

That didn't make Walter feel even a little bit better about the deluge.

He knew that today was listed as Nadia's birthday and had weighed a gift, decided against, but simply could not ignore the day altogether. Thus the small floral box he had tucked under his arm with a sprig of oleander (http://www.floridata.com/wallpaper/jpg/Nerium_oleander800yellow.jpg) that he had gone to no small trouble to obtain.

Why? Because once upon a time, possibly on a whim, Nadia had told him she wanted oleander or orchids when given flowers.

He left the box on the sill of the window she was staring out of and went to put on the kettle.

"That's for you, by the way," he said offhandedly. "Thanks for last night."

Nadia wasn't the only one making progress.

Alphonse was out in the common room. Again.

"It's starting to get a bit excessive out there, huh?" he commented, plopping down on the couch.

[nadiathesaint]

"I think it's actually flooding in places. It's crazy."

"Really?" Alphonse squinted, attempting to see more clearly from where he was. "Yeesh. Hope everyone who lives out there is fairing okay."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Al. How is it we live together and still never see each other?"

"It's refreshing!" Pippi said drying off her hair.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi crawls in through in a window, sopping wet.

"Wow!" she says closing the window. "It's crazy out there!"

[nadiathesaint]

"No kidding. Please don't drip on me."

Walter tossed her his towel. Damp, but better than nothing. "Yeah, I noticed."

John wandered, too wet outside to leave the dorm.

[nadiathesaint]

"Hey, John, 's been awhile."

Towards the later evening hours

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia suddenly felt two somethings slam into her chest and fell off the couch with resounding grunt of pain.

"Nadia?"

"Nadia?" Walter was at her side almost immediately.

"Fuck! Nadia!" John tried to catch her but wasn't quick enough.

Alphonse's eyes went a little wide as he watched Nadia suddenly fall off the couch, to which he immediately leaned forward to make sure she was okay. "N-Nadia?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"You," Pip said, walking into the room with a package. "I've found you."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia gave the package a wary look. ". . . You have."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"And there you are!"

Setsuna poked her head into the common room. "None of you guys have seen Ranma..." Grunt "-chan around here, have you?" She'd been looking around for that girl everywhere; certain she was the only boy who was a girl who would still be a girl and in dire need to remedy that, Ranma-chan had an impending meeting. With Setsuna's fist.

[nadiathesaint]

"Nope. Sorry."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"That's Ranma with boobs and red hair ya?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse turned his head at the familiar voice, spotting Setsuna at the doorway. He was silent, before making a slight wave (and possibly sinking even further into the couch cushion). "Um, I haven't," he answered, then added a little more sheepishly. "Hi, Setsuna."
