"'Zee munth of luve-a?' Is that the month when you try to get all of your dead skin off with those scrapey shower things?"

Walter loaded his tray and shook his head. "No thanks."

He looked around and took a seat near a window where the proposed patio would go if the "School Beautification Team" actually managed to get anything done. Then, since he was currently eating without a non-smoker in attendance, he lit up, opened his languages book, and began to eat.

Nadia had no idea what was meant by "munth ooff luve-a", or "month of love", for that matter, and had had a very large, very filling ~~very bizarre and spicey~~ breakfast in shop class, so she gave the food a miss.

She was just here to meet up with Walter and find her cat. After that? Well, after that she had to study chemistry. Possibly while experimenting with her own body chemistry by way of the brownies she still had left over from the record store yesterday. She spotted Walter and headed over, content to hang out until he'd finished his meal.

Walter flipped his book closed and stubbed out his cigarette. "You are ready to go look for Furball? And how is your shoulder?"

Nadia performed her now-traditional one armed shrug. "My shoulder's okay." You know, as long as she doesn't use it for stuff. "I'm ready whenever you are."

[ooc: and the mun is generally available, as it's a very quiet, very slow day at her office today.]

"Then let's go. I am sure Furball is looking forward to seeing you. We just need to stop by my room for Pup." And a pair of socks.

Blair bounced in and grabbed some Speenech Pooffffs before taking a seat.

He dragged out a notebook and started highlighting his history notes.

Jessica enters the cafiteria, and although today's menu does sound rather appetizing, she's not quite hungry. She sits down at an empty table with a glass of water and flips through the pages of her romance novel, laughing a bit every now and then.

Blair looks up at the laughter and waves. "Funny book?"

She notices his notebook and highlighter in hand. "Oh, I amsorry...was my laughter bothering you dear?" she ask sincerely, closing her book. "You see, the school's radio station has recently stated that my singing is quite bothersome. So, I guess I should have assumed that I have an equally bothersome laugh I suppose." Jessica shrugs her shoulders and smiles at the friendly yet unfamiliar face.

Blair shook his head rapidly and grinned. "No way, man. I was just wondering what was so funny. I'm studying for my history test later today but your laughing isn't bothering me. In fact lots of researchers say that studying in a happy environment improves retention and comprehension."

He paused and frowned. "People on the radio said your singing is bothersome? That's really rude!"

Jessica smiles. "I suppose they do that for the ratings you know. Its quite alright. Besides, the person who did the radio show is really a very pleasant person, so he probably didn't mean anything by it." Jessica takes a sip of her water then folds her hands properly atop her closed book. "So, history? Sounds...historical." Jessica smiles and takes another sip of water.

"Still, I don't think that they should be allowed to slander people's abilities like that. Do you sing well?"

Blair bounced. "It's very historical. I'm excited about this test! It will only be the second test I've ever taken and I think I did well on my creature language test...even if I struggled through the spider translations."

"Not well enough I suppose" says Jessica with a little laugh.

"Spider translations? Huh. I see..." She thinks for a moment, then continues. "If only all spiders communicated with us the way Charlette did. Would have made your test much easier." Jessica gives a serious nod.

"Charlotte?" Blair bounced happily. "Do you know a talking spider? How did you learn the language? Did they have anything interesting to say?"

Jessica was a tad overwhelmed with the questioning, but smiles and waves her hands in front of her. "No, no no dear, I am sorry to disappoint you, but I have not actually meet this spider...but she's quiet famous. She can't even talk to people really but she talks to a pig you see...who talks to her and she, in turn, writes lovely messages in her webs. She either spelled out the pig's name...or the pigs grocery list..." Jessica thinks for a minute. "Oh! Who knows? I can't remember." She drinks the last of her water then smiles. "I don't believe I've introduced myself to you, have I dear? I am affriad I can't remember that either..."
