The Roof: Saturday Evening

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.]

The day had turned out idle and unproductive, which suited Valentine fine, and she was thinking she'd wind up continuing the trend, but, as she got nearer the roof, she began to realize that this was not one of the many places to be idle and unproductive tonight. But that was okay, too.

"Nice use of resources," she complimented.

"Well when the island provides all the decorations, what else should one do?" Layla said with chuckle.

"Tell it to bring the food next time, too, or else we're not interested?" Valentine suggested.

"Well it rained syrup yesterday," Layla snickered. "Isn't that enough?"

Valentine shook her head. "Call me uptight, but unless it's on waffles or toast or something, syrup has to try pretty hard to be food."

"I have Eggos," Layla pointed out. "Maybe the island felt that was enough."

"But the whole point was that the island is providing the food, too, not providing us with whatever might enhance what we already have."

"Oh, hell, are we going to debate all night or have a little fun?" Layla asked. "You up for a mocktail?"

Aw, but Valentine liked debates...

"Mocktail," she repeated. "Cute. Sure, why not?"

"Shirley Temple?" Layla replied. "I have a thing for the extra cherries."

Valentine held up her hands. "I shall defer to she who knows better than I would," she said, chuckling a bit.

"My pleasure," Layla replied as she prepared the drink. "Of course if you want to get the drink spiked, I'm sure Emma can help you out with that."

Valentine snorted. "I'm sure she could. I don't actually think I have a preference either way, though."

"Unlike a lot of the kids here who are all happy to hear that Caritas doesn't card," Layla commented.

"Kids who are all happy to let their cognizant stability slip, too," Valentine countered with a shrug. She found the idea of losing your control a little less appealing.

"Sometimes it's good for a few people to let their stability slip," Layla replied. "A little Chaos now and then can sometimes bring about a moment of Zen."

"As if the world didn't come with its own chaos," Valentine said with a grin. "If you're so supportive of it, you should spike half the mocktails and see what happens from there."

"Vaaaaaaaaaalentine," Emma had been into the sugar by the time the other girl showed up, and she bounced over to link arms with her. "Why aren't we in any classes together this semester, darling? It's positively heretical, and they put me in ethics of all things."

Valentine laughed a little; it was a little weird, to be approached like that, but, what the heck, she went with it, tilting her head toward Emma as she passed an apologetic smile her way. "I'm sorry," she said. "But if you're in a class like Ethics, can you blame me?"

Actually, the only reason Valentine hadn't bothered with that class was because she'd done enough of that. She didn't need to show off in class.

She was saving that for the newspaper.

"What else have you got?"

"I'm in one of the sex classes, which is a hoot, and cooking, which may be a disaster, and the adventures in literature," she sighed, shaking her head. "At least I have a four-day weekend."

"Sex, cooking, literature, and ethics," Valentine noted. "With a four day weekend. Not a bad combination at all. If you can survive the cooking, anyway..."

"More like if my classmates survive my cooking," Emma replied wryly. "What about you? What sorts of classes do you find yourself with this time?"

"Classical Genre and World Wars in the Media," Valentine said. "So you can't even call me a total nerd because that's not even a full schedule."

"You have Hot Mitchell for a teacher," Emma sighed, looking wistful. "Brilliant and easy on the eyes, lucky you."

And talking about media coverage of wars. That was probably the sexiest part.

Valentine placed a hand to her chest. "Be still my heart. Should be a good class."
