Third Floor Common Room | Afternoon | Tuesday | December 14

Percy's finals were all later in the week so he really had jack to do until then. He knew he could have gone and bothered Nico or Luke but he'd ended up in the common room instead. From there, he actually started cooking something for his breakfast. Considering the only thing he knew how to cook without burning something down were pancakes, it was an easy choice.

He'd clicked on the television to have some background noise and actually got distracted by some stupid talk show with the pancake batter slowly sizzling away on the burner. He would have burned it if he hadn't snapped out of the stupor.

The pancakes survived Percy's baking attempts and soon enough, he was sprawled on the couch, eating a late breakfast and preparing to watch something stupid on television. Unfortunately, when he went to flip the channel, all he got was a yule log. On every channel, yule logs. The television had just been fine but now...

This island was weird.

[Haven't done one of these in awhile so hey, open, sure!]

"I told you why I acted like I did," Percy snapped, shaking his head. "Do you wanna be friends or something? Why?"
vanillajello: (Calm and looking at you.)

Kate shrugged a shoulder again. "I don't know, are you more entertaining as a friend than as... whatever it is that you are now?"

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm really not here for your entertainment," Percy said, frowning.
vanillajello: (Try again maybe I'll buy it.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know that," she said mildly. "But it's been a long time since I've met anyone who disliked me as much as you do."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm annoyed by you," Percy corrected, shrugging. "There's a difference."
vanillajello: (Yeah right.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, it's been a long time since I've met anyone who's so annoyed by me," she replied, mirroring his shrug. "Or at least so... consistently."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Does it bother you that much?" Percy wondered, eyebrow raising.
vanillajello: (Not really.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"It doesn't really bother me," she mused, wrinkling her nose. "I just find it random."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Why? Because I see a different side of you than other people?" Percy asked, shrugging.
vanillajello: (Calm and looking at you.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Somehow, Kate resisted both an eyeroll, and saying he saw a side that wasn't even there.

"Something like that."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"You saying you don't treat me differently than you do other people?" Percy asked, curious.
vanillajello: (Idle talk.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"I didn't for the first few minutes," she shrugged. After that things had just sort of... escalated.

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah well, sorry, I'd had a bad day," he said and shrugged. "Or whatever. It's not like I'm a nice person anyway."
vanillajello: (Try again maybe I'll buy it.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate snorted. "May have picked up on that, yeah. It's almost refreshing."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"Refreshing?" Percy repeated, curious.
vanillajello: (God's honest truth.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
She shrugged a shoulder. "Most people go out of their way to be nice, even when it's totally pointless."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Most people don't deserve it," he said and shrugged. "They're faking the niceties."
vanillajello: (Calm and looking at you.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate looked wryly amused. "I just think it takes too much energy."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"What, you're not a nice person to everyone but me?" Percy asked, totally shocked.
vanillajello: (Blah blah blah.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not exactly, but, see," she replied, tilting her head a bit, "I've been here long enough to know by now which people I need to be nice to."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Congratulations," Percy said, rolling his eyes. "You're so well traveled. I'm jealous."
vanillajello: (Smug.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-14 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes, I'm sure you are," Kate said, choosing to ignore the obvious sarcasm, just because. "As you should be."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-14 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wow," Percy said, shaking his head and rolling his eyes. "I shouldn't be surprised that you'd take that seriously. Gotta do what you can to get your kicks."
vanillajello: (You say funny things.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2010-12-15 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
"As if you have anything to do with my kicks," she replied as she pushed herself gracefully up from her chair, sandwich long since eaten up. "Don't flatter yourself. I hope you enjoy your fake fire."

[identity profile] seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com 2010-12-15 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Whatever," he said, waving a hand dismissively and going back to watching...the fake fire.
