Dorm Roof, Saturday Evening

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

As much as Griff hoped there was no real need to be prepared for problems in Fandom, he'd spent the afternoon acquiring jump sites around the island that would likely only be useful if there was need.

His last stop was the dorm roof. Finding it was a pleasant evening, Griff took a seat and got out his notebook to start sketching the Fandom skyline in the summer light.

It seemed June had its perks, after all.

[Open roof!]

Effy had actually just been looking for quiet to sit with her spliff. Turned out that wasn't what she was getting up here tonight.

... But you know what? This was much more interesting.

"Griff," she greeted after a moment.

Griff looked up at his name and visibly flinched. "Effy!" Who had breasts that he had seen while she was being groped by his roommate. No, he didn't have words for this quite yet.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Aww! Jumpy, wasn't he? Effy grinned a little, as she moved to stand near him.

"Alright?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Jumpy was a good word for it.

"Yeah, um, yes!" Griff nodded quickly. "How's it going?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," she replied, shrugging and pulling out a cigarette. "Could've done without the other nights interruption." She was actually talking about the fire drill, interrupting her sleep, but she phrased it that way for a reason.

The potential for entertainment value was too good to resist.

"But, other than that... Can't complain."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"More interruptions?" Griff could only think of the one thing as he watched her with the cigarette. She and Karev likely bonded over shared bad habits.

It was a pleasant evening, and Jack wanted some fresh air but didn't feel like the bother of as walk. So he made his way to the roof.

"Hello, Griff," he called. "You draw?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Evening... guy from the bus." Effy could probably remember his name given a minute. But that reference was perfectly correct in its way, while not a perfect greeting.

[bitten_notshy]

"I usually go by Jack," Jack informed her with a slight, crooked smile. "It's shorter .... girl from the bus." He wasn't sure he'd ever caught her name.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Effy," she told him, quirking a bit of a smile in return. "Does take up a lot less syllables, and I'm big on word conservation."

No, really, she was.

[bitten_notshy]

"Are we in danger of running out, Effy?" Jack teased lightly. "It's good to conserve, if we are."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Never can tell," she said, and shrugged. "Better safe than not, right?"

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"That's right," Griff replied, smiling up at Jack. "But only when it strikes me."

[bitten_notshy]

"So it hit you today," Jack said, leaning over to see what Griff was drawing.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

It was a sketch of the visible rooftops and towers. Not terribly done and showing a good deal of practice with getting buildings right. "I couldn't let the late light go to waste."

[bitten_notshy]

"You're not bad," Jack said. "And the late light is wonderful -- and we aren't even to the longest days for another week."

He smiled. "How have you been?"

Rose had actually been sleeping almost all day after staying up all night trying to put Ben's advice into motion. Nothing had happened. Nothing at all, and she was frustrated as hell still when she woke up. She went for a run to try to work off the nervous energy then sprinted the stairs up to the roof, the endorphins and pleasure at getting her wind back almost overcoming the pissiness.

"Hey Michelangelo," she called, heading to the edge of the roof, slightly away from Griff to stretch.

He lifted his pencil in a wave at Rose. "Bit premature, but I'll take it unless you expect me to paint on my back."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Nah, I'll give you to the end of the summer for that," Rose said.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Good, might take some time to build up the scaffolding," he replied.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose waved off the suggestion. "A day or two at most. You'll have plenty of painting time."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack grinned at her. "Hi! Good weekend so far?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Slept all day," she admitted, making a face. "What about you?"

[bitten_notshy]

"The Scottish Play," Jack said. "Reading it and trying to memorize my lines. Geoff wants med to actually become my character." There was the slightest roll of Jack's eyes on that.

"Why is sleeping a bad thing?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Which one's yours?" Rose asked. She had 'read' it last year in English. She just hadn't ...yeah. She shrugged. "It's not. It's just - that's what Saturdays are for, right?"
