The Roof: Saturday Evening

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

Happy-shiny-upbeat music was rolling off the roof this morning and down through the dorms. Layla had taken the time to string up some old Christmas lights that she had handwavily found at Things Reborn.

Food and drink Moddable of course was spread out on a table.

And of course the entire roof was already decorated in flowers, glitter and streamers.

Layla was already out in the middle of the roof bouncing around to the music and having a grand old time of it.

Clearly the island felt there was need for a party. Layla was just rolling around with it.

[Open to all of course. No OCD. Let the world end dammit.]

Zayne made his way up to the roof for some peaceful nighttime meditation. What he found instead was music. He wasn't going to complain, though.

"Good night for a party," he said as he took a look at the decorations.

"Is there a bad night for a party?" Rose asked, giving Zayne a smile.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"A night with a blizzard, maybe?" Zayne suggested. "That would be bad for a roof party, at least."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"No, then we'd all need to be sure to keep extra warm," she said. "And dancing would be a way to do it. Plus a fire....so okay, maybe not on the roof."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"It would be much better in the lobby or a common room," Zayne said. "The, uh, party, not a fire. The sprinkler system would probably turn on and ruin things."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Sure but if we're in the lobby, there's no need to keep warm," she pointed out. "And that would be sad."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Even more reason why it would be a horrible night for a party," Zayne countered. "So I guess the answer is yes."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Nah, any party is better than no party," Rose disputed. "So the answer is still no."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure I could think of some time that wasn't true," Zayne said. "But then I wouldn't be partying, would I?"

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Which would be a terrible waste of your time," Rose agreed.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"And I wouldn't want to do that," Zayne said. "Especially since you'd tease me about it later."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Me?" she looked innocent. "I'd never."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"You probably wouldn't even wait until 'later,'" Zayne pointed out.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Damn Straight!" Layla said happily. "C'mon! Get your dance on!"

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I don't know if I have much dance to... get on..." Zayne said, quickly getting lost by the necessary grammar. "So don't laugh at me too much."

Zayne started dancing and it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been.

"You're fine," Layla said with a reassuring grin. "You actually look coordinated."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," Zayne said. "I wouldn't count on it lasting very long. It could become flaily at any time."

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"I'll match your flailiness if that helps," Layla offered.

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I'd appreciate that," Zayne said. "I don't think we've met before. I'm Zayne."

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"I'm Layla Miller," she replied offering her hand for a handshake. "I know stuff."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Like how to throw good parties?" Zayne asked as he shook her hand.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Oh and other stuff too," Layla said with a shrug of indifference. "It's a thing I do."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

Zayne couldn't help it. That sounded intriguing. "How do you define 'other stuff'?"

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Like what people are. What they've done, what they might do," Layla replied. "Like for instance I know you're a Jedi Padawan."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Not bad," Zayne said, pretty impressed. "But the braid and robes might have clued you in to that if you knew enough about the Jedi from other people here."
