Dorm Roof, Friday Early Evening

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Flight workshop had been . . . well, fun in a nerve-wracking kind of way, if more than slightly exhausting, and Anders always felt a little bruised and cramped after spending time in the simulator cockpit. Something about being part of a battle against a droid army bothered him, though -- more than it should have, given he hadn't been alive during the Cylon War and the toasters had long since disappeared for their own part of space.

He'd dropped by to check in on Mac, which had taken his mind off of the whole droid thing for a little while, but hadn't completely banished his apparent need to brood.

Thus, quality roof time, complete with cigarettes. Seemed like the thing to do.

[OOC: 'tis roof-ily open, indeed.]

Bel headed up to the roof for a cigarette as well. If he ever tried to smoke in the room, he was sure Phoebe would have a vanquish potion with his name on it. He spotted Anders and wandered over. "Hey," he said.

"Hey, you." Anders flicked ash off the edge of the roof and smiled at him. "How was work?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel conjured up a fireball and lit his cigarette. "Got let out early," he said, taking a deep drag. "And Xander wants to crack down on mysterious smackings."

"Damn." Anders snapped his fingers. "So much for turning McKnight into a statue for the front lawn then, huh?"

He took a drag from his own cigarette and attempted to blow a smoke ring, failing spectacularly. "I am so frakking glad it's the weekend. I'm gonna need all of it to wind down."

[demonbelthazor]

"It can still be arranged," Bel chuckled. "And, yeah, weekend good. I'm a fan of sleeping in."

"Don't you think the school could use a watercooler in the hallway? One with a little commemorative plaque on it? It could be your parting gift." Anders grinned. "Sleeping in sounds like a good idea. Privacy, comfort, you not having to get up and go to work . . ."

[demonbelthazor]

"Or I could turn him into an ashtray up here on the roof," Bel mused. "So, no plans for the weekend?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders snickered. "I love your ideas. No plans, nope . . . other than spending time with you guys."

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah," Bel said, smirking a little. "Watching TV, playing chess, stuff like that?"

Lana hesitated briefly when she saw Bel and Anders on the roof, then shrugged and waved, arms full of stuff, before making her way over to the far side of the roof (http://lovelylana.livejournal.com/39716.html). Nothing was going to stop her plans for a rooftop picnic with Jim.

Anders waved and excused himself briefly to head her way. "Need any help with that, Lana?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Lana said, offering him the CD player and blanket. "That would be great."

She smiled up at him. "As long as you know when to make a graceful exit, if you know what I mean."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Graceful, quiet, and immediate, how's that?" Anders laughed as he took the CD player and blanket from her, tilting his head back in Bel's direction. "Big plans for the night, huh?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Sounds perfect," she said with a smile. "And yes, it's our ten month anniversary and nothing's going to stop us from having a wonderful evening - even if the thunderstorms hit!"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, wow," Anders said. If his tone was a little odd, it was just because his dealings with people and relationships the past couple of days had been all over the map. "That's really awesome, Lana. Congratulations. You guys deserve a good celebration, especially after all the stuff a couple weeks ago."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana nodded, sobering. "Yeah, we've been through some tough times, so I really want this to be nice."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Can't blame you," Anders agreed. "But I might have to thank you for giving me an idea, now."

Phoebe was looking for one or more of her guys, and figured they would probably be on the roof smoking. So, that was where she made her way up to.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders got up, ditched his cigarette, and bounded over to wrap her up in a big hug. "Hi, gorgeous."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled a little and hugged him back. "Hello, sweetheart."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I got myself blown up a bunch of times in flight workshop today," he said as he gave her a quick kiss. "But I missed you. How've you been today?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe stared at him.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders looked at her innocently. "It was just a simulator?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe let out a breath. "So you are not hurt in any way physically?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Tired and a little cramped, but I'm fine," Anders assured her; he hadn't let go of her yet. Gesturing toward the other side of the roof with his head, he added, "I love you for worrying, though. Lana's here, by the way. If you wanted any best-friend time."
