Third floor common room, Sunday afternoon

[solo_sword]

Staying in her room was just making Jaina feel ickier, and she didn't do well with that sort of thing. She wasn't nearly as bad as she was yesterday, just blah-feeling. Which meant that after she'd gotten everything done she needed to for now, she camped out on a sofa and started flipping channels.

And remembered why it was that she'd never really watched TV to begin with. Sunday was boring.


[Ooooopen. Omg I should not be so excited that this is her first CR in ages.]

Lois was coming back from a jog in the park when she spotted Jaina in the common room.

"Hey," Lois said. She flopped down into a chair and opened up the bottle of water she had with her. "Anything good on?"

[solo_sword]

"Sports I don't care about, people making food, and not much else," Jaina said, frowning at the TV. "It fails today."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"It's a common occurrence on a Sunday," Lois agreed. "I assume by sports you don't care about you mean football. Normally I'd hold that against a person but since you're not from around here I'll forgive you."

[solo_sword]

"Thanks," she said with a little smile. "I know some about football, but apparently not enough to keep me on that channel for more than a minute." She held up the remote and asked, "Want to try?"

"Sure, I'll give it a shot," Lois said, reaching out for the remote. "I make no guarantee that we won't land on an awful reality show."

[solo_sword]

"If we do, I'll know who to blame." Settling back comfortably against the cushions, she decided it couldn't hurt to try this social thing. "So how've you been?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois shrugged, her eyes on the TV. "It's been a pretty normal couple of weeks.Got drunk with John the other day. He tried to convince me to become a space bartender."

She looked over at Jaina. "What about you?"

Sunday was always boring. Temari nodded to the other girl, sitting down and hoping maybe the television would prove entertaining.

[solo_sword]

"Work, mainly. Sort of constantly," she admitted, but looked a bit on the amused side. "A space bartender?"

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

Lois grinned and nodded. "He said that I should work at a space station and be a bartender with crazy hair and weird clothes."

[solo_sword]

Jaina hadn't really seen Temari during the whole Soap Opera thing, bu she'd heard radio. And now she wasn't sure whether or not to feel weird about this. "How's it going?" she tried.

[solo_sword]

"The clothes are not weird," Jaina protested. Note that she said nothing of the hair, because some of the styles confused her too. "Actually, I think you could rule that job."

Temari had decided the entire weekend was a horrible dream and had happily repressed it. So it was up to Jaina, really.

"It's cold," She said, as though that was a crime against nature.

[solo_sword]

"Not a fan of it, huh?" she guessed. "I mean, it could be worse."

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"I'm keeping it open as an option for the future," she said. "My dad pretty much already thinks I'll spend my life serving drinks anyway."

[solo_sword]

"Nice. Though you would make good money," she pointed out.

"I'm used to the desert," Temari replied, tucking her feet up underneath her to keep them warm.

[armybrat-lois.livejournal.com]

"And there would be hot pilots to serve drinks to. It's pretty much a win-win situation," Lois said. "...Save for the bad hair."

[solo_sword]

"Ahh," Jaina said. "I know a few people who have the same reaction for that same reason. Is there a blanket around here...?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"I liked it better when the island was moving to warm places," She griped, looking around for a blanket.

[solo_sword]

"They're not all hot," Jaina informed her. "They just act like it."

[solo_sword]

"Antarctica must've really been bad, huh?" Not that she'd liked it herself.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"I had snow thrown at my head." That said everything.

[solo_sword]

"By someone who thought they were playing, or did you make someone mad?" she asked.

After spending a long time in the Flight Shed, John paused on his way to Jaina's room when he spotted people in the common area.

"Ladies," he said, taking a seat and making sure to send a pointed look towards Ms. I'm Not Sick, Really.
