The Roof, Saturday Morning

It was kind of cloudy out. It was still somewhat chilly out. It was entirely too early in the morning, and Warren wasn't sure why the heck he was even awake yet, but here he was.

He'd made his way up to the roof to give his wings a stretch, because those dorm rooms were way too puny for anyone with a wingspan like his, and he stayed up there, contemplating getting his nagging urge to fly out of his system before he'd find himself crammed into a coat and harness all over again for a week in the Bahamas.

... Of course, it still seemed like a fair trade-off. Flying for the Bahamas. He'd spent a lot of his life not flying. He could handle a week, for the sake of the sunshine. Right? Right. Of course, right.

"Of course, it had to be addictive," he mumbled, giving his head a little shake, and then jumping. A few laps around, and he'd be good, he figured. Just enough to get the feel for the wind through his feathers. It was too cold to keep going for too long, after all. But maybe once he landed, he'd be able to warm up for a bit and then go about doing it all over again.

He was getting better at taking off. He didn't look quite so much like somebody had tossed an unsuspecting chicken from the roof as he used to.

[Open roof is open! Warren will be playing his game of 'fly, land, thaw, repeat' for most of the morning.]
vanillajello: (Pleasantly surprised.)

Kate wasn't up crazy early, but... She'd gotten some weird, sensible sleeping pattern going, where she actually woke up fairly early even when she didn't have to.

And it was too early to start packing, so up to the roof she came. Hey, there could be a person with extra cigarettes there!

... Or, apparently, a flying Warren. Huh.
vanillajello: (Smiling sideways.)

"Morning, Warren," Kate replied, giving him a gently amused smile. Oh, he was adorable. "Very impressive."

She hadn't seen it from this perspective before, after all.
vanillajello: (Smiling and happy!)

"You think they would've considered things like massive wingspans when deciding room sizes, knowing the kind of kids that go here..." Kate mused.

Then she shrugged, and flashed him a bright smile. "I'm doing awesome, thanks." And for the first time in a while, that wasn't a lie.

Really, that should've worried her.

"And yourself?"

Alex had no next to no packing and he was continuing that trend by ignoring packing for a smoke on the roof. Whatever, he'd thrown some clothes in a bag and be done.

"Ah, the kid with the wings," he muttered to himself, lighting his cigarette and watching his arc across the sky.

"It's not snowing though," Alex said, thinking that a plus for the flying. "And I don't see any icicles in your hair. So, don't jinx yourself. It could be colder."
vanillajello: (Talking.)

"The place does have its perks." Wow, that almost sounded convincingly like someone who hadn't felt the need to escape the whole damn island the previous weekend!

Kate smirked. "And it's just a talent we all pick up, ignoring the weirder stuff."

"That or get some specially made flying suit thing." Alex had no idea. But, he had some manners left and did offer Warren a cigarette. He didn't think he'd take it but he could still offer.

"Or grow fur," he added casually. "Bet that would be a hot look."
vanillajello: (Smiling.)

Kate smiled. "I just generally feel pretty good right now. Spring break coming up and everything, you know?"

Also, for the time being, no one seemed to think she was an impossible bitch. Or at least not one they didn't want to spend time with.

And she hadn't had any nervous breakdowns since coming her trip. That was definitely good for all involved.
vanillajello: (Not really.)

"Hasn't really been my thing, either." For different reasons, obviously. "We were at, um, Kellerman's mountain resort for fall break, though," Kate said, having to search her mind for the name of the place. "I think I'll like the Bahamas better."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hell yes," Alex said immediately, nodding. "I'm ready to get off this fucking island somewhere warm. I don't mind winter but it seems to last a goddamn year around here. Can't really beat a free trip."

[identity profile] fratboybitch.livejournal.com 2010-02-20 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Exactly," Alex agreed. "You ever been down there? The Bahamas, I mean. Closest I've gotten is seeing commercials on television."
vanillajello: (Eyeing you over a KFC bucket.)

"I know. Seriously. I mean, Overland Park is no New York, but it's still an actual city," Kate said, shaking her head. "It feels so cramped here, sometimes."

A mischievous grin spread across her face. "Also? In the Bahamas I'll get to wear less clothes. There's no bad in that."

"Lucky," Alex said, nodding. "Lots of pretty things to look at?"

Meaning, you know, half naked girls.
