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.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

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.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Only of sleep this time," she told him easily as she flicked her lighter on and catching the flame with the end of her spliff.

"Can't be freaking out roommates all the time."

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"You were less than freaked out by the whole thing," he replied. "If I remember right." He had been quick to flee.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Hardly a first for me." This probably said something not particularly flattering about Effy. The last time, it had been a teacher caught her. Griff was kind of not so bad in comparison.

"Was for you I guess?" Going from his flaily freak out here.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"You could say that," he agreed, dragging a hand through his hair and trying to will his ears to stay normal colored. "How is it you can end up getting walked in on more than once?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes you get carried away," Effy replied vaguely, and took a long drag, shrugging as she did that. Tended to ignore the fact you were in a not entirely private place at points.

"You've really never had that?" Sucked for him.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Uh, not really." He'd gotten close! "But if I did, I'd hope not to get interrupted. Stopping would be awful."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Don't actually aim for the walk-ins," she said, smirking. "Just happens." She rather preferred not having to stop too. At least Griff had taken off pretty quick.

"But don't worry, you didn't kill the mood too much." Or at least, it bounced back pretty quickly.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

Ew.

"Glad things went okay for you." Only not at all.

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Effy smirked, rather picking up on the sarcasm lacing that statement.

She took another slow drag, holding it for a moment before blowing a smoke ring, just because she could. A moment later, she offered it to Griff. Isn't she nice!

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Uh, no thanks," Griff said, holding up a hand. "Another thing I've yet to do."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Aww." No wonder he was so fucking tightly wound. She smiled, retracting her arm. "Think you need to learn to kick back a little, Griff."

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.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

"Kick back from what?" He was in obvious need, yes.

[youcantfollow.livejournal.com]

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

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"... Everything?" she replied, leaning back against the edge of the roof.

"Could help with that, you know."

[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.

[bitten_notshy]

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

[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.
