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.]

Emma had to get out of her room; every time she turned around, there were more flowers appearing and more glitter falling from nowhere, and she was never going to be able to get all of it out of her hair.

What she found on the roof, however, made her groan. "Miller, I don't know if I can keep you as my minion. You have a horrible taste in music."

"Yes, But I have your favorite foods and non-alcoholic beverages available for your consumption, Ms. Frost," Layla said with a smirk. "And later this evening I have a playlist arranged of your more favorite tunes."

[icecoldfrost]

"You enjoy creeping people out with that, don't you?" Emma sighed, smirking slightly. "That's why we get along so well."

"I'll admit it," Layla grinned. "There's something amusing when people squirm a little."

Lord knows she did that enough with Jamie whenever she brought up their eventual marriage.

"But also I have a vested interest in you, Frost," she admitted. "So it pays to keep you happy."

[icecoldfrost]

"More people should have a vested interest in keeping me happy," Emma agreed, going over to investigate the food offers. Ooo...tasty. "Simply because an unhappy Frost isn't good for anyone's health or well-being."

"Oooooh. I certainly know that," Layla said with an amused look. "I'd certainly hate to be on your bad side."

[icecoldfrost]

"Do you have first hand experience with my bad side, then?" Her tone was mild, but Emma regarded Layla steadily. "Or is this pure speculation on your end?"

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Not exactly," Layla replied with a knowing look. "Let's just say that you had a hand in ushering in my powers as a mutant down the road."

[icecoldfrost]

Emma gave her an appalled look. "Oh god, don't tell me you're from the same place as that Jono boy. I am not a teacher."

Rose gave the other girl an amused smile. "See, I'd think you could train a good taste of music into someone."

[icecoldfrost]

"Could I? Of course. But she came housebroken, for the most part, and it amuses me to see what she's going to come up with next," Emma replied, bemused. "It's like Christmas every day."

[ahahaha, you got me right before I could hit post on one to you.]

"Then no complaining," Rose pointed out. "Or she might stop surprising you, and then it'd be that sad and boring January time."

[icecoldfrost]

"If I didn't complain, she'd accuse me of being replaced by a pod person," she laughed, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "I'm difficult, you know. High maintenance."

[you win an internet! *gives*]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Of course she was.

"Next thing you'll tell me you're royal, and it'll all make sense," Rose said jokingly. "Or just a very creative pod person."

[icecoldfrost]

"It depends on your definition of royal," Emma mused. "Descended from royalty? Hardly. But New York tends to make its own kings and queens." And Emma firmly intended to be one of them.

She tilted her head at the other girl thoughtfully. "You were in that insane etiquette class with me last semester, weren't you?" she asked. "Although I don't think we've formally been introduced. Frost, Emma Frost, at your service."

"Rose Hathaway," Rose said. "And yep, crazy class expat. I still wanna know what kind of drug the teacher is on."

[icecoldfrost]

"The day we find out, the world might end," Emma intoned seriously. "Better question; do we know what PMS drug our ethics teacher is on? Because he needs to up his dosage. If we've got fifteen weeks of that to look forward to, I may scream."

"Evening," Zayne said cheerfully. He was a pretty happy guy most of the time. The music seemed to make that worse. "What's wrong with the music?"

[icecoldfrost]

"It bounces," Emma elucidated, raising an eyebrow at him. "Which would be fine, I suppose, if I ingested as much sugar as Layla does on a regular basis."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"That might explain it," Zayne said. "I've probably had enough sugar over the summer for it to affect me."

[icecoldfrost]

"It might build up in the bloodstream," Emma agreed, smirking. "Now you're making me wonder what all the glitter is going to do to our brains."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"Probably nothing good," Zayne said. "And we'll probably be finding it on us for weeks."

[icecoldfrost]

"I heard a rumor that glitter causes boykissy," she said, shaking some of it out of her hair, "but I have yet to see this validated."

[cataclysmicluck.livejournal.com]

"I haven't kissed any boys tonight, so I wouldn't put much faith in it," Zayne said. Of course, there hadn't really been any boys up here yet to test the theory.

[icecoldfrost]

"All my hopes and dreams, shattered," she sighed, pressing a hand to her heart. "That means someone lied to me when I was small and new, and I find that sad."
