Sixth Floor, Thursday Evening -- Merlin's Birthday Party

[bitchprince]

If Arthur had still been back at Camelot, the idea of holding celebrations for a servant's birthday would have seemed preposterous. But he wasn't, and it didn't, and if he were really honest with himself he'd admit he enjoyed it (or at least in as much as it involved picking out presents that made him fret some on the inside and yelling at people about getting decorations in).

The Sixth Floor was decorated rather decadently for a birthday party. There were some CDs of painfully carefully selected songs playing through the system - the ones Arthur had judged least likely to shatter eardrums (and maybe tending towards the classical and medieval).

And there was food. Courtesy of Francine.

Arthur didn't like half-measures much.

"Not really," Roy said. "But we might! You never know!" He hesitated, then said, "RA? It stands for...Resident Assistant? I think?" Maybe? "It means, like, someone who's in charge of a dorm."

"Huh," Jack said. "That sounds ... moderately useful, actually. Especially for the younger students."

"Right, like in colleges it'll be an older student," Roy said. "That's what I'm most familiar with from, like, TV and stuff," he said. "But I sort of expected there to be some adults in the dorm, this being a high school and all, you know? I don't know if the big sibling program's supposed to replace that or whatever."

"Maybe, but it's not as if we can enforce rules," Jack admitted. "The school's a bit odd. I think they just trust us not to do anything that will cause permanent damage."

"That seems like an awful lot of trust," Roy said thoughtfully. "And an awful big gamble."

"It is," Jack said frankly. "I'm not sure who we'd protest to about it, though. I've gotten used to it, but I didn't know to expect anything different."

"I'm pretty sure if we protested the other kids would say we were gonna ruin everything," Roy observed. "I don't know about you, but I have no real desire to be the bad guy here. I mean, I just got here."

"And I've made it since May," Jack observed. "I think I can go the last four months without adult supervision."
