Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday evening

Bruce had no interest in dealing with the television today. It was going to just show something that some people would think he'd find embarrassing, he wouldn't be embarrassed (or even annoyed), and that would be it. But there was enough embarrassment and annoyance going around the dorms today, it seemed, so Bruce was going to try to tackle that in some small way: with cake.

Sure, he didn't usually eat much junk food, but he figured that a day when someone changed genders might not be so bad if it was changed to the day when someone changed genders and also had cake. In the meantime, he was just going to read a book about chess strategies while having a piece of cake himself.

[OOC: Open CR, open cake. Whatever that means, I don't know.]

That was much easier to do when your body wasn't doing it's best to let everyone else know. "Ignoring it doesn't make it behave and go away."

"And somehow males are able to accomplish things every day," Bruce said.

"They've had time to get used to it. Plus you can distract them easily enough."

"And by 'distract them' you mean exactly what I think you do, don't you?" Bruce asked.

Cara dropped the pout long enough to look smug. "That or hitting them." Violence was always an answer!

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"Would it help if I knocked you out?" Bruce asked.

Considering that Cara considered fighting a legitimate form of foreplay, not really.

"As if you'd be able to." Because she hadn't just been complaining about her lack of coordination in this body, or anything.

"We're nearly even on our best days," Bruce said. "You're in an unfamiliar body with unfamiliar parts distracting you while wearing a makeshift skirt. I'd have a distinct advantage."

"But I have no worries about kicking you..." Cara paused, looked down, then reconsidered. "Maybe you have a point."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
"At least you'd be focusing on it for different reasons," Bruce said. "You'd be distracted from the distractions."

"If I wanted to do that I could just get an agiel out." There was a difference between drawing strength from pain and recklessly damaging sensitive equipment.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
And yet she had so little respect for Bruce's sensitive equipment.

"Well, if taking your mind off the problem with violence is out of the question, then you're running low on options. Have you tried cold showers?"

It gave him incentive to dodge faster, so really, she was helping him. Besides even if she did do him damage, she was sure he'd have little trouble finding someone to help kiss it better.

"Yes, it only works while I'm in one." And she had even less desire to spend the weekend waist deep in cold water than with misbehaving anatomy.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
With the way Cara kicked, it would probably be a no kissing area for a while. But he'd probably be able to get a couple offers....

"So the final decision is to just grumble about it until you change back?

There were probably lots of girls who were into the whole tending wounds things. Some of them were probably still girls too.

"Oh, sure put it like that." Which was to say, accurately.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Can you put it another way?" Bruce asked.

Yes, he knew that this line of phrasing was problematic. He was trusting that Cara wouldn't be juvenile about that. Unlike Bruce's player who can't resist calling attention to it.

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2011-09-25 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure I can think of lots of ways," Cara replied, all innocence, really.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
Bruce saw what Cara did there. "If I pursue that line of questioning, you're just going to go with innuendo, aren't you?"
wrongkindofsith: (! Boy - blue tee)

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2011-09-25 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Cara would never do anything like that...okay that was a lie. "Are you saying you couldn't handle it?"

That would be a yes then.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
"If it's going to involve jokes like that, I don't think I want to handle it," Bruce said.

His sense of humor was clearly lacking, but everyone knew that.

Even with a belly full of cake, Cara's sense of humour was still kind of sulking over the boy thing. "So it's a case of not knowing how to handle it?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
"It's more of a choice not to handle it when it's tied to low brow humor," Bruce said. "Innuendo's just not going to do it for me."
wrongkindofsith: (! Boy - srs face)

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2011-09-25 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's because she wasn't even trying to break out the good innuendo. "You're assuming I'd let you tie it to anything."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
"I don't see how that would be comfortable for anyone involved," Bruce said, coming back to the fact that the equipment was sensitive.
wrongkindofsith: (! Boy - crossed arms)

[personal profile] wrongkindofsith 2011-09-25 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Cara shrugged. "It's not like you usually tie it up directly, but it's a matter of knowing which knots to use."
