Roof, Thursday Night

It was cold, but not as cold as it would be in a few weeks. Didi took the comforter from her bed and a bowl of popcorn and mounted the stairs to the roof.

It was good, sometimes, to just look at the stars and think. She'd been on the island three months; as far as she could tell, she wasn't going home anytime soon.

It occurred to her that this should worry her more ... but for now there was popcorn and constellations. She could stay.

[OOC: Open to anybody who wants to stargaze!]

"Oh, hi Didi," Jennifer said, wandering out onto the roof. "How are you?"

Didi seemed to consider the question and then came out with, "Peaceful. How are you?"

"...Sensational," Jennifer said, smiling. "Work was quiet but rewarding, today. What've you been up to?"

"Nothing too exciting," Didi said. "Finished my scarf. I was trying to find the constellations." She offered the bowl. "Popcorn?"

"Ooooh, yes please," Jennifer said, stepping over to take a handful. "Were you knitting?"

"I was," Didi said. "It took a while to decide if it wanted to be a scarf or what, but if I call it a scarf it's done." And that was a good thing.

"So what happened at work?"

"Oh, nothing exciting to anyone else," Jennifer said. "Just learned some new things about LA law. It'll be useful when I'm at law school later. But to most people... boring stuff."

"Jenny! and all green and sexy."

"Why thank you," Jennifer said, striking a pose. "I'm rather fond of me myself."

"Dare I ask what triggered this becoming transformation?"

"Oh, it's not anger anymore," Jennifer said. "Now I get to be this way all the time. It saves a lot on shirts."

"And our eyes. Not," she added quickly, "That you weren't pretty before. How'd it happen?"

"Long story involving a blood disease and a vampire scientist," Jennifer said. "You probably don't want to hear the details."

"You want some cookies with your popcorn?" Jaime asked from a few feet away where he paused in case Didi wanted some space or alone time. And the fact that he was just outside of her line of sight unless she turned, so that she couldn't see his embarrassingly ridiculous blue elf costume, well, that didn't come into his thinking at all.

"I always want cookies," Didi told her roommate, without visibly turning. "Adorable costume, by the way."

Didi herself was rocking black pointy elf boots.

Jaime sighed. "The only thing that got me out of the room was that I wasn't alone." He walked over and held out a little tupperware container full of variously shaped sugar cookies.

"And your excellent taste in cookies, well, I knew there was a reason I liked you."

Didi carefully picked out a star cookie with red sprinkles. "Definitely not alone. And hey, at least this one didn't make my hair smell like eggnog."

"Of course not," Jaime snorted. "It turns out that being in a ridiculous elf costume hasn't impaired my baking skills at all."

Didi blinked. "You missed the eggnog showers? Or were the girls just lucky?"

"This wasn't my idea," Jaime objected.

"Ohhh, someone put you up to it eh?"

"We fish ewe a mare egrets moose, we fish ewe a mare egrets moose. We fish ewe a mare egrets moose, panda hippo gnu deer!" Leda sang, emerging onto the roof.

"Pretty singing," Didi commented. She'd heard weirder lyrics. "Want popcorn?"

"Thank you and I would love some. Are you having a festive holiday season?"
