[she snaps her fingers and on the table next to the ugly vases there's now a glass of water, a bottle of wine next to a wine glass, and a firework. yeah.]
[well, she's already feeling a little better because she gets to drink and blow up a firework on a roof with a pretty girl, so that's good. she has one firework. and she's going to drain the glass of water.]
[i believe in viola's ability to climb to the roof in high heels, tbh
but she will lead the way up! she's pretty athletic so she doesn't really need the ladder, but it's easier when she's holding stuff. once she makes it up there, she will find a place to flop down.]
[she'll make it up there even if she's powered by pure spite
but she will climb! and she too will scoot onto the rooftop, sitting down next to beau and looking down at her, expression some combination between fond and worried]
Do be careful with how much you drink - I might need to call Crow or Ichiro if you can't make it back down by yourself. Otherwise, do as you please.
[that makes her laugh a little bit and she too flops on the roof to look at the sky. i just remembered we have bear constellations. she's probably looking at winnie the pooh.]
That's true... I hear that Spring and Fall are having a scuffle - but didn't someone challenge Winter?
I feel like we have to jump into the fray at some point....
[ . . . . she hesitates for a moment, her fingers curling into the fabric of her own sleeve, before she reaches out to let her fingertips press against the back of beau's hand]
[she does want! so she shifts a little bit closer then, letting her arms encircle around beau's shoulders in a hug. she's unsure and a little awkward, but the attempt is sincere.
it's hard for her to know what words to give, in a situation like this but if she were to think of moments in which she felt similarly.... the only answer she has is an embrace and a soft - ]
no subject
At least let me try...
no subject
Are you gonna get mad if I just drink out of the wine bottle without pouring it? [she goes to pick up the firework]
no subject
[go ahead and pick up the firework, beau]
Shall we go to the roof and light it?
no subject
Sure, yeah. Can you climb up there?
no subject
[she installed a temporary ladder for people but also mostly for her,,]
I'll follow you up.
no subject

C'mon, you think I can't hold my wine? [a beat, as she opens said wine.] Bet you're glad to be out of the suits.
no subject
[she's just admitting this. why is she up here. viola.
anyway - ]
That's the understatement of the century. I thought about taking the entire suit and hanging it up like a pinata, but that felt a little too cruel.
[it's still kinda cute....]
no subject
[teasing!] I think that'd be the one thing the dorm wouldn't want to destroy, actually.
no subject
[she can't have more than two sips
but she makes a little bit of a face]
Is that so... You all wish to have a memory of my duck prison...
no subject
No. It'd feel too much like beating you with a bat, which like, can you blame us for not wanting to do that?
no subject
[she hadn't thought about it like that]
.... I suppose that's true. You all do make me feel very well taken care of.
no subject

no subject
Oh, trust me, I've fucking heard Spring and Fall's fight up close. [looks into the middle distance at caleb and molly]
As long as it's not some shit that's going to divide us I'm down. Maybe we can cause some trouble.
no subject
Oh that's right, Caleb and Mollymauk are among them. What is the fight over again? Claude?
[just. claude as a person.]
Hehe, certainly nothing serious - just some harmless fun. You all have my permission to do as you please as long as it's nothing too drastic.
[aka as long as no one gets hurt, viola will pretend she knows nothing]
no subject
I think so. A couch and some toilet seats or something. It's so dumb.
[...] Hmm. Maybe I can try to convince the Winters to do something. [so they're not quite as fucked up over all of this.]
no subject
As long as our toilet seats are not lost in the battle between dorms. That is also a condition.
[please that's also just so unsanitary]
I'm sure you can though - we have a rather fun-loving group. It'd be nice to find a way to ease everyone's spirits a little after today.
no subject
I will knock anybody who tries to steal our toilet seats out, yeah. [she sits up, looking down at the firework.]
... You know, I told Lila she could count on me.
no subject
... do you feel personally responsible, because you told her that?
no subject
I don't - not feel personally responsible. [she mutters.]
no subject
... would a hug be permitted?
no subject
... Sure. You can, if you want.
no subject

... it's not your fault.
