Third floor common room [late afternoon]

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

After waking up around 3 (DON'T YOU JUDGE HIM), Cade put on pants (you're welcome), ran his hands through his hair (it was like combing it, okay?) and wandered down to the common room in search of Cocoa Puffs.

He flipped on the television for background noise and stopped and stared at the woman with a glowing skirt as she sang in some language he didn't recognize.

"What the kark is this?" he muttered to no one, pouring milk into the box of cereal and digging in with a spoon.

It was Eurovision, Cade.

"Hey, I'm not arguing with you," Atton said. "Just observing."

[whenshewasnice]

"And I was merely deciding on an easy reasoning for a meta preference for a country," Natalie replied. Before taking a seat on another couch. "Keep up, Atton."

Long couple of days. Being flippant happened.

"I have no idea what that means, but I don't care," Atton replied. "Anyway, I--"

And then Spain happened.

"...Ow."

"... She's not even really trying, is she?"

Natalie had Opinions on music. Water was also wet.

"That, or she's doing it on purpose," Atton said. "Audio warfare."

Ow.

"I wasn't aware Europe was that bad right now. But the dress is okay, at least."

No underwear on show this time, though.

"Could be shorter," Atton decided. "We should at least get something to look at, but it's just... yellow."

"Well, not everyone can be Finland."

Classy, classy Finland. But some of them could be Malta!

"... Did they just say he's a doctor?"

[suitably_heroic]

"More importantly, did he snap-freeze his face to stay like that?"

[whenshewasnice]

"That's called smiling," Natalie snarked. "Some people do that."

Just maybe not anyone taking part in this conversation.

And not like the guy from Malta.

"That's not smiling," Atton said, tilting his head. "That's more like desperation in the face of death."

[whenshewasnice]

"Fair enough." She shrugged a shoulder, just barely. "I think the song's okay, though."

[suitably_heroic]

Atton shrugged. "I think I'm just here for the short skirts and the... whatever drugs they're taking."

[whenshewasnice]

"I'm not surprised." Also, she couldn't really blame him, under the circumstances. "Well, I'm sure there'll be plenty of both."

Just wait for Romania.
