Roof, Thursday Night

[living_endless]

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?"

[living_endless]

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

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

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

[weldedtomyspine]

"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.

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

[living_endless]

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

Didi herself was rocking black pointy elf boots.

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

[living_endless]

"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?"

[weldedtomyspine]

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."

[living_endless]

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."

[weldedtomyspine]

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

[living_endless]

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

"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."

[weldedtomyspine]

"I think I just got lucky," Jaime shrugged. "I don't have class until Fridays so I sort of extended my vacation." He grinned. "It was good to see my family again."

[living_endless]

"Mmmm," Didi said. "I don't get bored easily. But that's good, learning things that will help you."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Jennifer said. "Even if I might be more built for stopping crime than prosecuting it now."

She stretched out a bit, utterly comfortable in her big green form. "I'll just deal with things on multiple fronts."

"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.

"Jenny! and all green and sexy."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

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

[living_endless]

"Yeah?" Didi grinned. "What's Thanksgiving like for the Reyes family?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda narrowed her eyes with mock offense, her eyes twinkling good naturedly. And maybe a little drunkenly. "Saaay, what's with the outfit? You tryin' to make fun of elves?"

[living_endless]

"You don't look like it phases you," Didi commented.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Huge," Jaime grinned, waving his arms theatrically (but being careful not to drop the cookies). "The extended clan gets together and it's a big production."

[living_endless]

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

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"What, being the lean green fighting machine?" Jennifer said. "I've spent enough time that this just... fits right. Better than how I used to be, even."
