Fourth Floor Common Room [Monday late afternoon]

Olive wasn't even feeling especially social or creative. But ever since her class that morning, she'd wanted cookies. And no, she was so not like, a gourmet cook at all, but she could buy refrigerated cookie dough with the best of them.

Shhh. She threw the packaging away and tossed the raw dough into a bowl so no one would know. She was sneaky. There was a batch of cooling chocolate-chip cookies resting on the counter already as she stared at the oven like it might produce state secrets or something. She'd turned on the television, for those who might not be super-into watching cookie dough rise, but she wasn't especially paying attention.

And no, she was not making these cookies for anyone but herself, regardless what certain parties might try to argue. But she'd share, probably. Unless you were obnoxious.

Oh, don't make him pull out the big, sad eyes. He'd do it. He would.

"Just once? For old time's sake?" Yep. There they were. The saddest Sparkle eyes. "For memories."
myownface: (O Rly?)

"I can do that!"

It was so, so easy to make this boy happy.

"Stay awake, don't rest your head
Don't lie down upon your bed
While the moon drifts in the skies
Stay awake, don't close your eyes...
"

Really, he had a pretty good voice, himself. He was no Julie Andrews, fine, but he was shameless in hitting all the notes.
myownface: (Intense)

"Stay awake, don't nod and dream..."

So, for the record, it took every last drop of willpower left in Sparkle's body for him to keep from jumping up on the couch and cheering when they finished that little number.

"You know, nobody's actually sang with me like that since I came to this place?"

"We didn't completely suck," Sparkle agreed, looking pretty pleased with himself as he jumped up and perched precariously on the arm of the couch, mostly just because he could. "Maybe next time I nag you into helping me unveil the mysteries of our horrible past, I'll pull out my penny whistle, too."

Because that's just what the common room needed! Tin whistle playing!
myownface: (Mmmhmm.)

Fairly inexpensive, yes. And great if you wanted to play some sort of drunken Irish folk song, and not much else.

"Well, can you dance to anything else?"

It was a totally legitimate question.
myownface: (Throwin' Crap.)

[personal profile] myownface 2012-09-11 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"So you... marched!"

That was kind of like dancing! Probably!

... Sparkle had very little experience with that sort of thing.
myownface: (Wary)

"Only kind of?"

Well, hey, there were worse things to get expelled for.

"What did you sing that was so bad they kicked you out?"

If it didn't have like detailed descriptions of wild orgies in it or something, Sparkle was pretty sure the school board was overreacting.
myownface: (O Rly?)

[personal profile] myownface 2012-09-11 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Sparkle whistled a little, anyhow. Because. Because.

"If it's anything less than what some of the girls I lived with back in Toronto wore out in public on like a regular basis then girl, you're lucky you weren't arrested for flashing the crowd." He grinned. "If it wasn't less than that, you were expelled by a bunch of prudes."
myownface: (Yeah Sure)

"What, that's it? Damn, they were so overreacting. Welcome to Fandom Island, Olive, where there's probably like naked day or something once a year and nobody blinks."

This was most likely incorrect.

"I mean, seriously. I put Cade in a swimsuit yesterday that covered less than that."

[Night!]
