The Roof, Sunday Evening

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Sure, it was a bit chilly out despite being May. But that wasn't going to stop Tony from going up to the roof for emo brooding thoughtful contemplation. Like you do when you were a teenager in Fandom.

On the plus side, the sky was positively filled with stars with no light pollution to keep them from being seen. It was kinda cool if you asked him.

[[Open like a roof is!]]

"Oh, wow! There's a roof!"

It looked like someone discovered the door at the top of the stairs and finally got over his concerns that he would be opening it up and discovering something....

...well, let's just say, it sometimes paid to be carefully opening doors in Butters' experiences. But he rather liked where this one lead him.

"Let me guess, you're one of the new kids," Tony said, using that giant brain of his for deduction. Oh yeah. Sherlock Holmes, move on over.

"Oh, hi!" Butters laughed a little when he noticed that someone was actually there out on the roof. "And, yeah, that's me! I'm Butters. I live down in 216, and I'm from South Park, Colorado."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Butters. Huh.

"Nice to meet you, Butters who lives in 216 from South Park, Colorado," Tony replied. "I'm Tony."

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

"Well, hey, there, Tony," said Butters, taking in a deep breath of the crisp night air and looking fondly out at the view from above. "Do you live up here?"

Hey, it was possible!

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Tony stared for a moment, trying to decide if Butters was serious or not. "Well, not in the winter time," he decided. "That would get to be too cold."

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Butters nodded a little. "Yeah," he said, "but the view sure is nice. Not nice enough to live out here in the winter, probably, but still. Real nice up here."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"And then there's the constant parade of people up here to brood." Which, you know, Tony would never do.

[geewhizfellas.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

"Really?" asked Butters, who then looked around.

"Where?"

Toby was bored, and restless, and eventually that restlessness led him up to the roof. Not for brooding, exactly, this island had... pretty much been one of the best things to happen to him in a long time. But just- to think about things. Like whether he ought to call Ray and let him know where he was.

"Whoa," yeah, he'd noticed those stars too. And they were distracting enough that he didn't even immediately register the persence of another person on the roof.

"Nice isn't it?" Tony called, glancing over at the person interrupting his nice brooding thoughtful contemplation.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Startled, Toby glanced over at the source of the voice. It wasn't that often people managed to get the drop on him, what with the whole telepath thing. "Amazing. I've never seen anything like it," he replied honestly.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Tony snorted before returning his attention back upwards. "Same here. I lived in New York all my life before coming here, so the brightest things in the sky I saw were usually planes."

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"Toronto," Toby offered. "So, pretty much the same deal. Only slightly colder." A pause. "Not as cold as this, though, usually. At least, this time of year."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"It could be worse," Tony replied. "It could be, like, Iceland in the winter."

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

"That is true," Toby admitted. "That is very true. Although to be honest I'm still kind of stuck on the fact that we're in Iceland at all."

"You start to get used to unexplainable things," Tony assured him. "Or go crazy."

A beat.

"Try not to go crazy?"

"Oh, great. The roof," Jack said warily as he exited the door onto the roof. "Somehow I was hoping for another floor. Maybe one without a ball pit. Or at least railings."

Yep. Fear of heights. Kicking in.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"It's not that high up. You'd probably only break a limb and get a concussion depending on how you landed," Tony replied kindly.

[exactlyaverage.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeeeah," Jack said leaning against the wall by the door, "I'm just going to play it safe and not risk anything of the kind. I like my limbs unbroken and my head... un-concussionable."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Tony peered down at the ground. "It's really not that bad."

Said the guy who flew sometimes.

[exactlyaverage.livejournal.com]

He so wasn't helping.

"You know," Jack said, "It might be a bit safer if you just puuuuullll back from the edge tehre."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

Tony looked from the ledge, over to Jack, then back again before rolling his eyes and scooting back. "Happy?"

[exactlyaverage.livejournal.com]

"Ecstatic," Jack deadpanned. "I almost wet my pants in joy."

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"I can tell," Tony replied. "You're brimming with it. Might consider a diaper for that other part, however..."
