Room 323 [Monday, Late Afternoon]

[comeoutwrong]

Having two classes (relatively early classes, no less) was a bit of a quick come down after a week spent, mostly drunk, in the Bahamas. It all went by that little bit too fast. At least Effy dealt with the aftermath of extended hangovers well.

Or, with large quantities of nicotene, anyway.

Smoking was actually more satisfying somehow, when your breath alone almost misted up in the cold air. Made the smoke she was idly blowing out her open window from her spot perched on the sill look all the more impressive.

Not bad.

[[Expecting a couple, but the door and this post are totally open! ETA: And we should probably put an NFB on the topic of the girls' conversation.]]

It was cruel to make them go to class after a week of intoxication and sunshine, wasn't it?

Emma hadn't been able to approach Effy in class, since she'd been lacking a certain partner-in-crime, but now here she was, along with a permissively modded Rose, knocking on Effy's door.

If they were anyone else, this might almost be awkward, but Emma and Rose had a mission, darn it, and they weren't going to let Alex's unforthcoming nature on the subject stop them.

Unusual as this might be, Effy would die before calling it awkward. It generally took a lot to phase her, and this... it really wasn't the sort of thing to even get close to that, fortunately enough.

"Wow. Group visit." Didn't often get many of those.

"Shit, say it like that, and I'm wondering where the torches are," Rose said wryly. She wandered into the room and took a seat at one of the desks. What? It'd been a long day already. "We totally had a proposal for you."

Of the non-porn kind.

[icecoldfrost]

Emma shot Rose a sideways glance of amusement. "There you go making things sound sordid again," she teased. "Are you trying to suggest something?"

Still, she turned her attention to Effy. "We need your help. We've been trying forever to figure out when Alex's birthday is, so that we can throw him a party."

"A tacky, tacky party. With hats. But we haven't been able to swipe his wallet to check, and I'm not allowed to peek inside his head."

Well, this was enough to be entertaining, and Effy quirked a bit of a smirk as she glanced between them.

"Sounds like you need a good pickpocket."

Ah, why tell them she already knew what they needed. Where was the fun in that?

Alas, that's my other character...

"Or someone who might be near his pants without thieving," Rose said, smirking back at her. Shh, tact, who needed it. "You know, Alex in a party hat. It wouldn't be a sight to miss."

[icecoldfrost]

Tact? Not with these three.

"He doesn't trust me enough to let me near his pockets," Emma admitted cheerfully. "He knows I'm after his ID."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Aww, now who wouldn't trust any of us, right?" Such sarcasm, since the answer was probably 'anyone sane'.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Clearly very, very silly people," Rose decided, and she wasn't thinking about that little conversation about trust from last night. "Which is why we should get it done anyways. Teaches 'em the error of their ways."

[icecoldfrost]

"So are you in?" Emma drawled. "If not, we'll have to go back to the plan of breaking into the office to check his student record for his birthday, and I'd rather not get gremlin-bit for my pains."

Effy shook her head with a little amusement and idly tapped some ash off the end of her cigarette out the window.

"Picked a good time to be nosy," she told them. "Got about... six hours, give or take." Hopefully they were quick to prepare for this sort of thing.

"It's always a good time to be nosey," Rose said before really processing what Effy had said, and then she couldn't help smirking. "Tomorrow? Really?"

[icecoldfrost]

Emma pouted slightly. "I'm the telepath, and she's the one who already knew the answer," she complained. "This is why I don't like following rules about when I am and am not allowed to peek."

She looked over to Rose. "We have to find some really silly hats, really fast. Want me to call Fast Eddie's, and see if we can reserve the space?"

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

Ah, the benefits of being trusted to rifle through a guy's wallet.

"Really think you're gonna get him in a party hat?" Effy wondered. Couldn't quite see it, to be honest. Then again, they were obviously determined.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Keep bitching, Emma," she said, rolling her eyes a little and obviously not too worried. "Poor thing, having to follow rules."

Rose smirked. "Alcohol's always useful. And come on, you know it'd be hilarious. Everyone will wear one. Except for us obviously."

Well, obviously.

[icecoldfrost]

"If I ever stop bitching, darling, you'll know I've been replaced by a pod person or some such nonsense," Emma pointed out.

"But I wore a hat for him on my birthday, so at the very least, he owes me this. But no guarantees how long I can make him keep it on, so have your cameras ready."

[pastmewrong.livejournal.com]

"Sure he's going to be so impressed we're plotting behind his back," Effy commented, looking largely amused.

Or he wouldn't so much.

Not that she was having any second thoughts. Sure he'd get over it.
