2nd Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

After handwavily posting flyers around the dorms that said,
Party!
2nd Floor Common Room
Happy Birthday, Turtle!

Free Cake


Tannim headed back to the 2nd floor common room. He uncovered the sheet cake he'd ordered from J, GOB. It was decorated to look like a fifteen-dollar bill. It said, "In Turtle We Trust," and the center picture was a rough drawing of a girl's head with a long brown braid. He set up bowls of chips and other snacks around the room, and checked the fridge to make sure the sodas and Gatorade he'd bought were still there.

He set up his portable stereo and put in a CD. He wasn't sure what kind of music Turtle liked, so he'd brought an eclectic mix of his own favorites. Carbon Leaf, Nickel Creek and Gaelic Storm thrown in with Rush, They Might Be Giants, and a couple of mash-ups he'd downloaded. If those weren't to everyone's tastes, it was easy enough to change CDs.

He sat down on the couch, opened a Gatorade and hoped people would show up.

"What is it with everyone and saying I'm going to take over the world?" Turtle smirked. "I must say, I'm flattered that you all think I"m capable, but, really, I like to work on a much smaller scale. But let's hear your advice, John."

His grin faltered a bit. "It's... I don't want to have to say it if it's not true. God, why does everything I say have to come out wrong and doom and gloom?" He reaches out to tousel her hair anyways (not touching the braid)

"Hey!" Turtle tried to duck away from the hand of doom trying to touch her hair, and then pulled her leg back for a sharp kick to the shin. "Ack! Shinguards! I've been foiled!"

She narrowed her eyes at John. "Verrrrrrry clever," and stroked an imaginary bad-guy moustache.

"Double shinguards. Just to show how much I care." John stroked his imaginary bad-guy goatee. "And now? I have an idea on what to get you, Ms. Entrepeneur."

"A fake moustasche?" Turtle asked excitedly.

"Ah, dammit. Totally spoiled it." he smiled.

"See, John, you may be clever, but I'm so clever...er."

So totally a word. Shut up.
