Fifth floor common room, after classes

[nadiathesaint]

So. The roof was actually really cold right now. But if Nadia went back into her room, she was likely to start burninating things. She figured if she kept her mouth shut, she probably wouldn't turn anyone into a tree. And if Walter didn't show up, she could be reasonably certain she wouldn't kiss anyone. So she set herself up in the common room, found Running After Annie on TV, and, inspired by the film, started putting together a list of girls for the girlkissy poll.

Parker Parker would kill me.
Jaye Jaye would kill me.
Sydney Sydney could probably kill me.
Aeryn owns guns
Alanna swords
Molly super-strength
Pippi could kill me . . . but probably wouldn't . . . .

Nadia thought for a moment.

Veronica and one of her roommates? Veronica probably wouldn't kill me, but she could possibly taser me. . . .

There was really only one conclusion to be drawn: Nadia needed female friends didn't have weapons or super strength.

Mac, spurred on by boredom has gone on a people-search. She's never been into the fifth floor common room, so she might as well start now.

"Hey Nadia," she grins and enters the room, "what're you watching?"

[nadiathesaint]

"It's this movie about a guy who likes a girl who likes girls." The expression on her face is probably an indicator of just how much she is relating to the guy. "It's pretty good."

Nodding Mac drops onto the sofa next to Nadia, "ah, unrequited love story. Sounds interesting, I don't think I've seen it." She pauses, watching the action on screen for a moment. "Does it end happily at least?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "I don't know. But it isn't . . ." she stumbled over the slightly unfamiliar word. "'Unrequited'. He gets to date her, see?" She pointed at the screen.

It's hard to tell if she thinks this is hopeful or ridiculous. Possibly both.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Oh," she smiles hopefully, "well, that's kinda happy at least. It must be worse if he never got to be with her, right?"

Mac gives Nadia a careful look, "are you okay?" She's quiet for a moment, then quickly "just, you seem kinda quiet today, and--" she tails off again, feeling like she's just being nosy.

Nadia cracked. She had to tell someone! "I kissed Walter," she blurted. "On the lips. It was an accident, but he ran off and he slammed my door, and he still helped me the next day when I was trying to figure out how I made Lucas into a tree, but I think that's just because he's a really nice guy and I'm sure he completely hates me now because he's gay and he has a boyfriend and I've totally ruined our friendship!"

And then she remembered that she didn't know Mac all that well, and started blushing furiously and pretending to be very absorbed in the movie.

About a guy who liked a girl who liked other girls.

Oh no, her life wasn't too complicated. . . .

[ooc: and I have to run to rehearsal. want to slow play this?]

Mac blinked a bit, and stared. This is definitely not her area of expertise, but she can try at least. "Um, I'm sure it's not as bad as you imagine," she begins, attempting to be comforting. "He was probably just--" shocked? no, that was not a comforting-type word. "It would have been, unexpected. He's probably having the same kind of panic that you are right now. Except the other way round, of course." She gave Nadia a sympathetic glance, "the fact he helped you is a good sign."

She quickly ran over Nadia's ramble once more in her head, "wait, you turned sunglasses-guy into a tree?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia nodded miserably. "Never sing children's songs in Fandom. You never know what they can do."

She sighed. "I just don't know what to do. I'm afraid to talk to him. And I haven't even seen his boyfriend, who is definitely going to kill me. But I don't want to be awkward around them, either. They're both friends."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Noted, no children's songs," she looks a little nervous, it kinda hits home what the smallest innocent mistake can do around here.

"Just, don't worry about it until you have to," Mac shifted so she was sitting cross-legged on the couch. "I mean, you don't know that Victor even knows yet, it might not be as awkward as you imagine. It's never as bad as you think it will be... or so I've heard."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia brightened slightly. "Yeah, maybe Walter never told him. Maybe he never will. I hope so." She closed her eyes, sighed, and shook her head. "So, how are you?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac shrugged, "my life is scarily uneventful compared to yours. I seem to have managed to evade doing any work pretty much all week, I'm starting to get stir-crazy and bored. You have any bright and drama free boredom busting ideas?"

[nadiathesaint]

Since most of Nadia's bright ideas were turning out to be far from drama free, she shrugged. "Watch the movie?"

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"That'll do for now," Mac responded, "I'll just have to work out something else for tomorrow," She then turned her attention back to the screen to watch the movie.
