Fourth Floor Common Room | Sunday Evening | 9/19

Elphaba, in an effort to stop being so gloomy around people, was making a concerted effort to try and be a bit more pleasant today. That meant putting on a smile and not worrying about Oz, or Nessarose, or even flying fish.

It also meant making a large fruit salad, with a liberal sprinkling of sugar. It wasn't as if she had a particular sweet tooth, it just seemed like a good idea for attracting other students if it was sweeter.

She settled in to a seat on a couch, and hesitantly switched on the TV. A re-run of a Mythbusters episode appeared, and Elphaba was promptly baffled.

Leda had a song stuck in her head. It had gotten in there while she tried using it to get another song out. She was feeling rather like the old woman who swallowed a fly.

Perhaps getting out of her room would do her good.

So after magically adding black lace to her sling, she went out in search of people.

"Hey, Elphaba right? What's on?"

"I believe the name of the show is 'Mythbusters'," Elphaba said, not certain. "It certainly keeps reappearing at times. Though I'm not sure I understand the concept or why this is supposed to be entertaining."

Leda didn't really watch much TV. "Sounds like a bunch of guys hunting Bigfoot or something." she said.

But upon looking at the screen she got distracted. "Holy cow that guy's mustache is epic."

Elphaba looked over at Leda and tilted her head. "You wish to write poems about it?"

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Heh, no I've proved to myself and the world that I should never write poetry. Which is a shame cause I like poetry. Nah I just mean it's an impressive mustache.....what in the hell are they doing to that pig?"

Elphaba scrambled for the remote and switched off the TV without even looking at it. "Please do not describe whatever they were doing," she said. "Please."

It was not a subject Elphaba took lightly.

"I won't." Leda assured her. She guessed from the way Elphaba had reacted that it was a touchy subject for her. She didn't know why, but there could be any number of reasons. "So, uh, maybe not the best time for TV."

"I did not have reason to like it before," Elphaba said. "I think I never will."

She gestured over at the kitchen area. "There is fruit, if you would like some."

She would be friendlier, but there had been something intensely shaking for Elphaba with the idea that the TV was harming a pig for entertainment.

To be fair the pig was already dead. But like as not Elphaba wouldn't be any happier with how it'd gotten that way.

"I'd love some!" Leda said, thinking of a way to change the subject. "You want any while I'm up?"

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"No thank you," Elphaba said. "You know my name, but I do not think I know yours. Perhaps you could introduce yourself?"

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! Gods I'm sorry." Leda facepalmed. "I'm Leda, from Bordertown. Pleased to meet you."

[identity profile] didntchewgrass.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
"I believe we share a class," Elphaba said. "It is nice to finally be properly introduced. Is Bordertown on Earth?"

[identity profile] anarchist-queen.livejournal.com 2010-09-20 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
"Partly." Leda piled some fruit on a plate and returned to the couch. "It's kind of on the border between two realms. The Human World, and Faery."
