Turtle & Canary; Saturday [ 06/14 ]

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Once Turtle realized that it wasn't all just her imagination and there really was a smoke coming from one of the volcanoes, she and Apu were having a rather deep and intelligent discussion regarding whether or not it was something to worry about.

"I think the gods, they are angry."

"The gods are not angry, Apu. Why would they be angry?"

"Because you are thinking of living in sin with your boyfriend, Miss Turtle."

"I am not going to be living in si--" She grunted, cutting off the topic of conversation before it could continue. "Do you think it's anything dangerous?"

"It might be the wrath of the angry gods, Miss Turtle."

Turtle snorted at that. "Okay, the school handled being blown up by aliens; I'm sure a little lava's barely going to hurt."

Either way, flame retardant merchandise was currently 30% off.

That is what they pay him for, after all. That, and sweeping.

Who was, really, too busy planning what to call and talk to Jake about tomorrow than to worry about the smoke.

Marco was there, ready to bother his favorite shop owner.

"Heyyy, Marco. Where the crap have you been hiding?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

Behind the couch. "Video games." Marco said with a wise nod.

"I should have guessed," Turtle said, smirking slightly as she shook her head. "And, what, you came in for eyedrops, just in the nick of time before they shrivel up from too much video exposure?"

"I'll have you know I have perfect eye sight! What, I'm not allowed to come in just to bother you?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Coming in to bother me is all you ever do, Marco," Turtle pointed out, very matter-of-fact.

"So why should I break with tradition?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Good point," Turtle said with a roll of her eyes. "Can't have that, now, can we?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Nope." Marco said cheerfully and hopped on to the counter. "Tradition is the ... something or other of life."

Turtle narrowed her eyes a little at the intrusion on her counterspace, but she didn't say anything. She just shook her head. "You're just a regular philosopher, Marco, you know that? You should write a book."

"That's in the works already." Marco said with a nod. "Who do you think for a ghostwriter...Stephen King or J.K.Rowling?

Ella had actually figured out the radio to hear Turtle's broadcast last night, and she had mixed feelings about the news her roommate might not be one for much longer.

On the one hand, she liked Turtle, and she had to wonder if she had somehow offended the other girl.

On the other ... she might possibly get a room to herself, and that did not suck.

So it was with a curious smile she greeted Turtle. "Hello?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Ella!" Turtle greeted her brightly. "What's up?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure?" Ella admitted. "But going by radio, it sounds like I might be losing my roommate."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

Turtle blinked a little. And then she caught up.

"Oh, yeah, that. Not necessarily, you know. I still haven't decided." Her forehead creased with a frown. "It's a very easy decision to make, either..."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

"It wouldn't be," Ella had to agree. There was the fact girls just didn't do this in Frell, for one, but Ella set that aside, since Turtle wasn't from Frell.

"I mean, it's more closeness, but ... that can be good and bad. It's your decision, yours and his, anyhow. But I guess," she added, a little shyly, "I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything I did?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle's head tilted, looking a little confused for a moment, and then she snorted. "Psh, Ella. We haven't even been living together long enough for it to have been something you did."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

It was Ella's turn to take a minute, but finally she giggled. "I don't know, I might snore and maybe no one told me," she offered. "Or maybe I said something that was a grave insult in ... where are you from? Wabondon?"

Look, that wasn't bad for something she hadn't heard that often.

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

Turtle facepalmed a little, but she was grinning. "Wisconsin. A bit more of a mouthful than Frell, so I guess that's okay. But, seriously, it's definitely nothing you did. It wasn't even my idea, it was Jeff's. And, like I said, I'm still not sure yet. So don't start celebrating having your own room quite yet."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

"Wisconsin," Ella repeated apologetically; she would remember that. "Sorry. But I'll hold off on planning the party until you've made a decision. It's not like I mind having you as a roommate, either." Which, coming from an only child, was high praise.

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 06/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle gave Ella an appreciative smile at that. "Thanks," she said. "I'll take that to mean that I don't snore, either. Which is good. You're stuck with me for at least a little longer, I can guarantee that. It's just such a really big decision, and Jeff did make a good point about the next summer term. We kind of got used to always having an extra bed, and he might get a new kid moving into Peter's old side of the room soon, which, well..."

They'd gotten really used to having an extra bed...

"You wouldn't really be able to be alone together anywhere," Ella nodded, managing not to blush. "Or you'd always be kicking someone out of their own room, which is almost worse."
