Third Floor Common Room: Wednesday Afternoon

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie was sitting on the couch writing out a list of names of people he knew that might be able to help him on his little personal mission. There was also coffee from the Perk and multiple pastries from JGOB available for anyone who might be interested.

Pastries!

Jeff was careful to stay away from the coffee, though. Still not allowed. He threw himself down on the couch. "So, these Greek blokes," he said, conversationally, "Do you think they're really a threat?"

Jamie gave Jeff a puzzled look and put aside his list. "I don't know," he said, "Why? Do you think we're going to be invaded?"

"By the way the squirrels say people are talking about them, I'm starting to think they might already have and we just hadn't noticed," Jeff said, shrugging slightly as he chewed on a doughnut. Mmm. Doughnut.

"Well I think the only invasion we can expect will be the new students at the end of the week," Jamie said with a chuckle. "I'd be more worried about them."

"But what if the Greek blokes are already here?" Jeff asked, staring at his toes, "I don't think I could fight one myself, I don't have the legs."

"Mmm...coffee and pastries," John said, following his nose into the common room.

"There's caffeine in this right?" he asked, pausing before pouring some.

"As far as I know," Jamie said in response. "I don't have the power to analyze it at the molecular level but since I don't want to take a nap anytime soon I'm thinking it's fully leaded."

"What's wrong with your legs?" Jamie asked raising an eyebrow. "And why do you need them to fight greeks?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes I think they're not the same length as each other," Jeff said, mournfully, "and I don't want to risk my girlfriend."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie blinked again because he wasn't making a connection.

"Jeff? I think you're going to need to connect the dots for me here. What does your leg length and Turtle have to do with a possible Greek invasion?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"Well," Jeff said, took a moment to consider the statement, then continued, "Going by the radio, they seem to be mostly targetting people's girlfriends."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh," Jamie said slowly. "I'm not so sure about that but please go on."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"What if they go after mine?" Jeff continued, "My legs are uneven, what if I can't reach the proper kicking..." he struggled for a word, "...Altitude?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"What exactly are you planning to kick?" Jamie asked.

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Um. He hadn't really thought that far ahead-- "Shins," he managed.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well which leg is longer?" Jamie asked. "That's the one you should be standing on."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"The left one," Jeff answered automatically. "Thanks."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Can I ask you a question?" Jamie said leaning back. "What makes you think Turtle would leave you for a Greek invader?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Good," John continued getting some. "And yet, I thought one of the perks of Greece and no classes was nap time."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I slept all morning. And yesterday afternoon," Jamie said. "And I'll probably take a pre-dinner nap and see if I can find some good Greek diner to stuff myself."

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

"They'd be Greek," Jeff replied, "And I'd be me."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"So you think she'd give all..." Jamie gestured to Jeff in a handwavy motion, "-this up for some Greek stranger?"

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

Jeff stared at him. "My legs are uneven, my ears are a different shade than the rest of my head, I once convinced a woman I was an amphibian lung specialist and I can't stop the word 'breasts' from being on a continuous loop in my head."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"See, that is some serious off-week living," John was impressed. "Spending time napping and partaking in local cuisine."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Breasts?" Jamie started and then shook his head. "Nevermind. Jeff, how long have you and Turtle been going out?"
