Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday evening

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce could be out of his room without feeling the need to find a more private place with the first person he saw. It was a good feeling. A good enough feeling that Bruce was willing to actually risk messing with the television in the common room again. But first? Threats.

"If you act up on me, I will end you," Bruce whispered while kneeling in front of the set. "There's a window right there. I will throw you out of it. You will be destroyed. And then I'll buy a new TV for the floor. I can afford something that will make you look like you're a black and white set. Nobody will miss you. So behave, or you'll force me to prove that I'm serious."

Bruce settled into a seat on the sofa and turned on PBS. It worked just fine. "I'm glad we could come to this arrangement," Bruce said with a bit of a smirk.

Good job badgering the inanimate object into working, Bruce.

"What don't you like?" Eyebrows lifted, Ariel couldn't help asking and being curious, since she couldn't think of anything she didn't like. Not even the whole turning into a mermaid on Halloween thing. She probably kind of deserved that.

"It's not pleasant to talk about, really," Elphaba said. "I think most people prefer to ignore it, or pretend it doesn't happen. I'll continue unless you want me to stop."

Elphaba was doing nothing to curb Ariel's curiosity, only increasing it.

"I don't mind," she said, "if you don't, but if you don't want to talk about it..."

She'd probably still try digging it out of her.

"Oh, I have no qualms," Elphaba said. "There is a reason I only eat fruits and vegetables here, not even anything with milk or eggs. While I know the dairy farms in Munchkinland are kind to the animals and Animals, and that in this world there are no Animals, I've seen pictures that turned my stomach as to how farms treat the animals."
