Lobby, Wednesday, All Day - StuCo Coffee Bar

[dontvotemeout]

Jason managed to come down to the lobby fairly early to make sure everything was in place on the coffee cart. As far as his Fandom finals were concerned, he wasn't really worried about any of them. As for his foreign language class? Well, that was a different story, so after making sure that the cart was stocked with coffee, tea, and other hot beverages, as well as pastries and other sweets, he sat down with his notebook to try to study. It was possible that he'd spend the day doodling and daydreaming instead, but at least he was making an attempt at being good.

[OCD-free! Grab some food, talk to Jason, or both!]

Sometimes there were bonuses to acting like a normal person and walking through the lobby. "Oh wow. Actual studying," he said, looking awed by the concept.

Jason looked up from his notebook with a bit of embarrassment. "Well, yeah. If I don't pass everything, I'm gonna get killed when I go home," he said. "Plus, it's that or die of boredom here."

That was a whole lot of death for one day, even if it did amuse Nico greatly. "Well, if not studying always leads to death, maybe I shouldn't grab a donut and head upstairs."

"You could grab a donut and stay here," Jason suggested. "I can stop studying for a little while with no damage done, I think."

"Hey if you're pausing on my account, I could even pretend to help you study," Nico offered. "More foreign language stuff?"

[dontvotemeout]

"Yeah, it's really the only stuff I have to actually focus on to learn," Jason said. "I mean, I'm not expecting any of my other finals to be hard, especially after the ones I've had so far."

"No? I was a little concerned about that ship class final, but I've got a plan in mind if the teacher makes it written," he replied, grabbing a donut with bright colored sprinkles and moving closer to see what Jason was looking at.

Most of Jason's notes were in Russian, so good luck with that, Nico. "You think she'll do that?" he asked. "I've had all discussions so far, so I'm hoping that'll continue. What's your plan?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

Russian seemed to swim on the paper just as badly as English, he shook his head slightly to clear his head of that mess. "Copy off of you."

[dontvotemeout]

That got a laugh out of Jason. "Seriously? You're trusting me to know what to write? I don't know whether to feel complimented or nervous."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"You're smart and I'm betting you've paid better attention than I have," Nico shared. "But if you look too confused, I'm totally copying off the redhead."

[dontvotemeout]

Hearing Nico call him smart was never going to get old, really. "I've been paying some attention, in case the teacher decides to like, call on one of us and ask us a question. There's not many people to hide behind or anything," he said. "If you do copy off of Ariel, can I copy off of you?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"No way," Nico scoffed, somehow managing to hold in a laugh. "I don't condone cheating."

[dontvotemeout]

"Only when you're the one doing the cheating, right?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"That's it exactly," he said, finally grinning. "I have good reasons. You studied, you don't need the extra help."

"You could study too. The coffee's here to wake your brain up," Jason pointed out helpfully.

Nico made a face at the idea. "I'm not all that great with reading," he admitted. "It takes a lot of effort to get the letters to hold still."

"That's a demigod thing, right?" he asked, pretty sure he remembered that. "Am I going to have to write my potential final answers in Greek so you can copy them?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Could you?" Nico laughed, amused that Jason remembered. "I'd appreciate it a lot."

[dontvotemeout]

"I could try, but I don't know if the words would actually say anything meaningful," Jason said. "I'm afraid we'll have to stick to English."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I should just put in a request for Greek next semester and then you can play translator," he teased.

"I bet Bruce would love if I picked up another language," Jason said. "I'm not sure how I'd convince him it'd be useful though."

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Duh, there's a whole slew of borderline creepy demigods at your school and you have to make sure they're not up to something bad." Considering one of them probably was, Nico thought this was a good story.

[dontvotemeout]

"Ooh, right, of course," Jason said. "And I won't tell him how the creepy demigods are actually some of my friends, right?"

[deaths-demigod.livejournal.com]

"Borderline," Nico reminded him. Percy was the creepy one, right? "Don't you think befriending the kids up to no good would sit a little wrong with Bruce?"
