fourth floor common room | evening | saturday | november 28

Hannibal knew that, technically, he should be spending his free time practicing so he wouldn't make a huge fool of himself when he finally fulfilled his requirements for losing his bet with Kate. Instead, he was sprawling in the common room, lights off, with a loud, action packed movie on the television. He'd ordered himself a pizza and decided that pretending that he didn't have humiliation in his future was a much better plan.

[cr's an open place, if'n you want!]

And that, that there was the deadpan of a Starsmore. He didn't need to spend years perfecting it. It was in the blood, and was further magnified by the fact that he was British, and emo goth.

//And I suppose I look like th'sort of a bloke who couldn't possibly have a gel of my own?//

"Nope, I was just bein' hopeful," Hayley said. "But knowin' my luck, you got a doozy of a girl, huh?"

[furnaceface]

//Th'best,// Jono agreed, crossing his arms over his chest and giving a firm nod as he spoke. //Th'sort that overlooks every time I make a complete cock-up of things, and I'll be quite happy to not risk losin' her again.//

Okay, the first time wasn't entirely his fault. But still. His hands were his own, unless they were Didi's, and that was how it was going to be.

Hayley gasped. "You shouldn't say such bad words to a girl!" she said, though she was smirking.

[furnaceface]

... Eyebrow? Going up.

//Cock-up?//

Americans.

Hayley giggled and nodded. "I didn't know I had such an effect on ya!"

[furnaceface]

Jonothon was now attempting to light Hayley's face on fire with the power of his mind, without actually tapping into his powers.

... It was better that way.

//Trust me, gel, yer don't.//

"Oh, well," Hayley said. "You're very well trained. Good boy." She nodded and grinned. "You're the type a girl can take home to mother, huh?"

[furnaceface]

//Not particularly.//

For varying reasons, none of which were probably the one that Hayley had in mind, no.

"Oh, shush," Hayley said. "You're just bein' modest. You seem gorgeous and well behaved. Though you might have ta watch your language a bit."

[furnaceface]

//Gorgeous?//

His face was covered in scars and he had bandages from his nose down, 'cleverly' concealing his utter lack of a lower jaw, and she was calling him gorgeous?

//Have yer skipped yer meds today, by any chance?//

It was in the eyes.

Also, we point out that Hayley loved a woman with green hair and smeared with clown makeup.

"Oh, I don't have a cold or anything," Hayley said. "I'm not taking any medicine."

[furnaceface]

//... Of course. How silly of me.//

Well, that explained everything. Bitch was crazy.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Understatement!

"Well, silly is a-okay with me," Hayley said. "It keeps life interesting."

[furnaceface]

//There are plenty of things that keep life interesting,// Jono replied, dryly. //'Silly' is, I suppose, somewhere on that list, yes.//

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Hayley said. "We think the same way, I think."

No. No they didn't. But Hayley's views of the world were drawn from crayon and a bit blurry, so they seemed to line up with a lot of things.

[furnaceface]

Dear bloody hell, Jono certainly hoped not. There were certain things that the world only needed one of. Hayley here was one of those things.

... Sadly, Jonothon was another.

//... If yer say so.//

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"We're gonna be great friends," Hayley decided. "Not, like, two peas in a pod but... friends."

[furnaceface]

If Jono ever found himself trapped in a pod with Hayley, he would just explode and be done with it, he decided.

//... I can hardly wait.//

He could wait forever.
