Outside the Dorms, Very Very Late Monday Evening/Too Early Tuesday Morning

[suitably_heroic]

It was raining.

It was not raining very hard, but it was definitely raining at the insane time the sirens went off across the school. The lawn outside was slowly but surely turning into a wet mess, and the grass was just high enough in some places that it might leave wet splotches on an unsuspecting passer-by's pants.

Clearly this was a great time for a fire drill.

It was clearly also a great time to test the new volume on the sirens, which blared even harder than they had ever done before. Hope you didn't have to take any tests in the morning, kids!

"If that's the case, then at least they're doing their jobs well," Jessica said. "It's not really a silver lining, but it's some kind of lining. And they're probably having fun."

"There's absolutely no lining in that," Atton said. "Unless you mean the kind with spikes on it."

"There's a spiky lining?" Jessica asked. "I never knew there was a spiky lining before. I was thinking more like chartreuse."

"Yeah, I could use a drink, too," Atton said.

...There was an Earth drink that sounded like that, he was pretty sure.

"Chartreuse is a drink?" Jessica asked. "I meant the color."

"I'm pretty sure it is," Atton said.

Actually, he wasn't sure at all, but it definitely sounded like something he'd seen in a bar at some point.

"I don't know if it's the color, though, but I'd be happy to find out for you."

"Whenever you find out, please, report back," Jessica said. "Because I'm actually kind of curious now."

Atton glanced up at the sky. "I should," he said. "Hey. Do you think any of the on-island bars are still open?"

"At this time? God, I hope not," Jessica said. "Because of practical purposes involving the bartenders' sleep, not because of, you know, your purposes."

Atton muttered something rude in Twi'lek. "Figures," he said. "I never should've moved to a small town."
