Fifth Floor Common Room; Friday Evening [ 01/07 ].

So Ariel's plans didn't turn out quite as she would have liked. Raven was appearing to have a bad day, but she still really wanted to have pizza, inspired by earlier with her idea, and, though it didn't have the privacy of her room like she was sort of thinking would be nice, she still could (try to, anyway) invite Chuck to come have some with her.

It just meant others might have some with them, too. But she could turn it into a party and go with it, and so she picked up a few more pizzas, with a lot of different toppings (no sardines or anchovies, yuck!), but the most prominent one, of course, was the inspiration for all of it.

Because at Pizza Planet, they said they would make a Cheetos pizza for her.

It was almost enough to make up for the loss of some...ahem...more private time to see how she and Chuck might handle some...ahem...private time...


[[ open common room is open! pizzas are moddable! I WILL NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT MY FAILURE TO TAG ANYONE YESTERDAY EITHER ]]

"I don't think I'll ever understand how you stay in shape," Bruce said, shaking his head.

Well, clearly mermaids had a more active metabolism, because NOTHING ELSE MADE SENSE. But he wasn't saying that aloud.

Like Triton knew anything about legs; he probably made Ariel's hollow.

"It's all the bouncing," Ariel offered. "Maybe you should try it some time."

"I'm too tall for that to work. It would be too threatening to passers by," Bruce said.

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
"How can that be threatening?" asked Ariel skeptically.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Because I doubt I'll be smiling while I'm doing it," Bruce said.

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel tried to picture it, but it could only make her giggle.

"You're doing nothing to dissuade me from wanting to see this, you know."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Too bad it'll never happen," Bruce said, flashing a joyful smile for just a moment. "Tough luck for you."

"Never say never," Ariel warned him. "I wonder if gremlins like pizza. Should I go find out?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"A gremlin's chief weapon is surprise. Maybe fear," Bruce said. "But it's tough to be afraid of a gremlin when you expect it."

"Yeah, but you can't expect what it's going to make you do. Nobody expects the Gremlinbite Execution."

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, well I have ruthless efficiency on my side. And an almost fanatical devotion to not getting bit again," Bruce said. "Plus? I have cushions."

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Cushions?" asked Ariel. "Are the cushions the gremlin's one weakness?"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
"They're good shields against bites," Bruce explained. "There's a lot of padding and gremlin teeth aren't terribly long."

That was unreasonably logical, Bruce. For shame.

"I hope you realize that this means I am now picturing you wearing a suit of pillow armor," Ariel informed with a shameless smirk.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"That would be too restricting," Bruce said. "I'd like to be able to move quickly against a gremlin."

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"That almost sounds as if you've pondered the semantics of this sort of thing," Ariel ventured.

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"I mentioned a fanatical devotion to not being bitten again, didn't I?" Bruce asked.

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel shook her head, trying not to giggle, but a little laugh did slip out. "As if I'm anyone to hold that kind of dedication against you," she said, and not just because she appreciated a passion about something. When it came to Bruce, in her opinion, if it took his mind off of the type of revenge he mentioned that night, it was nothing but good.

"I didn't think you would," Bruce said, not mentioning the fact that plotting against gremlins was in and of itself a form of training. Ahem. "You did get a lot of pizza. Are you taking lessons from Bobby Drake about trying to lure people to a common room?"

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but Gremlins didn't kill his parents.

"Does he do that, too?" Ariel wondered with a chuckle. "I had no idea! Let's hope we never join forces again! And, really, I just had a change of plans and thought it might be fun to still have pizza, but with lots of people."

Bruce had been nearly prepared to prod Ariel about what her plans for a smaller number of people had been. A more important question popped into his mind, though. "If you had only gotten the one pizza, would it have been the one with Cheetos?"

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Yes," Ariel decided immediately with a giggle. "But I was planning on two. Just in case. I thought of it earlier today, and then they actually made it for me, too!"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
"They like money," Bruce said. "You could probably get them to put anything on a pizza."

"...Don't take that as a challenge."

[identity profile] shes-got-legs.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Darn it!" Ariel would have wailed if it weren't for the laugh. "No fair!"

[identity profile] willbethenight.livejournal.com 2011-01-08 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
"I know you too well," Bruce said, smirking a bit.
