Room 528, Wednesday Afternoon/Evening

[icecoldfrost]

Wednesdays were Emma's slow day. No classes, no homework, and she typically did all her Special Classes on Thursday before going to film studies.

She'd already talked to Jack and was bored again. So since Triela would be out part of the afternoon at Gun Club, she had the door open and her music up, and was reading a completely trashy magazine.

What? She knew what her roommate had been up to last night when she'd been out. Any teasing from certain other parties would result in teasing and potential blackmail. Unfortunately for Triela, telepaths either made the best or worst roommates ever, depending on their mood.

[Open door, open post, looking for two in particular.]

"Kiss kiss," Karla's voice floated down the hall. "You'd better be receiving visitors darling. I'm not about to turn around and walk back down all those stairs."

[icecoldfrost]

"You shouldn't be walking up them in the first place!" Emma called back. "Door's open, darling."

[glacial_queen]

"Well, I wouldn't dare issue a summons to my room," Karla said, coming inside and flinging herself on the foot of Emma's bed. "You'd laugh at me."

[icecoldfrost]

"I would," Emma agreed. "Then you'd sulk, and it would be adorable."

...and there went her brain-to-mouth filter again. Dammit.

[glacial_queen]

"You think I'm adorable?" Karla sounded far too pleased by that prospect. "If you'd like, I can pout right now for you. Show off my rosy pink lips and everything."

[icecoldfrost]

"Try it, and I might try tickling you just to wipe the smug look off your face," Emma threatened. "I won't let you guilt me into anything by pouting today, I'm still mildly miffed at you for getting in so much trouble, except not really."

...God, she hated today. She wanted to muzzle herself.

[glacial_queen]

"You're not really mad?" Karla gave Emma a bright smile. "That actually makes me feel lots better. When you're upset with me, it's like a shadow goes over the sun." Then she groaned and reached for a pillow to smother herself with.

Awesome. Honest and tritely poetic.

[icecoldfrost]

"So now I'm the sun?" Sorry, Karla, Emma was going to try and take that pillow away from you so she can tease you. "Oh no you don't, no hiding!"

[glacial_queen]

It wasn't really a fight, either. Not with Karla as spindly as she was. "Give that back! I'll go back to pouting, I really will!"

[vanillajello]

"Emmmaaa, do you have cigarettes? I'm all out and I don't wanna go into town to get any because I'm lazy and would probably just end up telling my entire life story to whoever happens to be working at Turtle and Canary today."

Kate wasn't big on greetings today. Leaning against door frames and complaining, though? That she could do.

"Also I violently dislike this day."

[icecoldfrost]

"If you don't mind Gitanes, you can have as many as you want," Emma promised. "Well, if you have a lighter. Mine broke yesterday, so I had to go to Alex."

Mmmm...Alex. No. Emma was not going to get sidetracked by those thoughts. She quickly scooted off the bed to grab her purse and toss a pack at Kate. "Long day?"

[vanillajello]

"Ah, Alex Karev, hero of the lighterless. He talks dirty really well."

Kate made a face immediately after hearing herself say that, and shook her head as she pulled a few cigarettes from the pack before tossing it back at Emma. "See, this day wasn't this long before I started talking."

[icecoldfrost]

"That's not the only thing he does really well." Emma only looked slightly annoyed instead of mortified. "Tell him I said that, and I cut you off from my nicotine stash forever. He does not need a bigger ego."

[vanillajello]

"Hey, if I blurt it out today, you don't get to blame me," Kate had to point out. "'Cause the island's making me do it, and I'd probably only be saying it so I wouldn't tell him I wanted to do him that one time -- dammit, Fandom."

[icecoldfrost]

"If you only wanted to pounce him once, you're still doing better than me," Emma said, wincing slightly. This was so not fair.

[vanillajello]

So very much not fair. "Well, all the other times we've talked have been in class," Kate said, and was almost surprised to find no excessive honesty in that statement. "This is even worse than the singing."

[icecoldfrost]

"Singing missed me this year!" Don't be so cheerful about that, Emma. "But I agree that this is much, much worse."

Peter's hormones in overdrive, he dropped by Emma's room late that afternoon just to see if maybe that... private concert might be in order. He knocked on the open door and did his best to not think about the things he couldn't stop thinking about, and spoke.

"I hope I'm not catching you at a bad time."

[icecoldfrost]

"If the door is open, then it's never a bad time for you to stop by," Emma said, and it was the truth. "And what are you up to on this inconveniently honest day, Mr. Bishop?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"I was mainly here to see if you wanted to make out," Peter said, and winced. "You know, flirting loses a bit of the flavor when it's stripped bare."

[icecoldfrost]

Emma couldn't help laughing at that. "It does, doesn't it?" she asked. "Although I can't say that I'm opposed to the idea at all, even with such a blunt proposal."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"It's not usually my style," Peter said said, not so much begging for forgiveness but stating the truth. "I mean, I'm all for taking you to dinner first or anything else you think is the... socially accepted pretense du jour."

[icecoldfrost]

"Well, you could shut the door and keep me company for a bit first, before we go out for dinner and a rickshaw ride?" Emma suggested. "I don't really feel like walking all the way in to town."

And if they decided to make out before and after, well, Emma wouldn't argue with that.

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

Peter obliged, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. "There's always the possibility of ordering in, too. A little picnic in the room. Then there's no need to put on shoes or walk anywhere."

[icecoldfrost]

"Now that sounds lovely," she decided. "We can even put a blanket down on the floor and everything, and I'm rather sure I have all the delivery places on speed-dial."
