"Hey, Zero," Sam said. She didn't really have a purpose for being here, except that she had free time between Shop and Quantum Physics. "Whatcha doing?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero minimized the window super-quick. "What? Oh, um. Nothing. Nothing at all. Can I help you with somethin'?"

Re: Third Period

"Naah, just killing time. I haven't seen you in ages, seems like. Did you do anything yesterday?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Bit the heads off gummy bears. Stupid Valentine's Day."

Re: Third Period

She rolled her eyes. "Tell me about it. We had kind of an anti-Valentine's Day thing going on in the common room. Watched the Logan's Dad film festival."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, I'm sorry I missed that. I could have been with my people--Logan's dad is an actor? How did I not know this?"

"Your people are probably going to have their own table at the dance, too, if you want to join us and throw things," Sam said, dryly, "and I don't know. I don't think he talks about it much."

"I'll be with my people, then. Solidarity forever." Zero sighed. "Yeah, it can be hard with famous parents. Like, the cops got called to my fifth birthday party, and it was in all the American and British tabloid rags."

Re: Third Period

Sam had completely missed the retrospective on Zero's parents. "Wow, that's got to be like living under a microscope. How do you handle it?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Lots of patience. And if it gets too annoying like if your grandmother pickets your house, there's always Hong Kong."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hong Kong, huh? I've never been. What's your favorite thing to do there?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Run from the British secret police and Chinese gangsters The street markets are swerval. That's where I got my bird, Fish."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Cool." She nodded, having been to a couple of street markets during the time she spent in the Gulf. "How'd you get Fish through customs, anyway?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Oh, we had to stay in the quarantine hoosegow for a month." Yes, 'we.'

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You stayed with him? Wow, that's some serious devotion, Zero."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Well, I wasn' gonna leave the little guy all by himself in there. It wasn' so bad. Quieter than the prison suite of the Hong Kong Hilton a houseful of my family, anyway. I wrote a lot of letters."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"You're the only one I know who considers the Hong Kong customs area not a bad place to be, Zero."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero grinned. "I've been told I'm not like other girls."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"From what I understand, that's a good thing," Sam grinned back. "So, what else is going on with you? Anything?"

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"I'm not speaking to my coworkers because people suck and are whoremodding stupid," Zero said brightly.

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Okaaaay....er, anything I can help with?"

Re: Third Period

[chasingangela]

Angela overhears this and shoots a pleading glance at Sam.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Probably not," she admitted.

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes it helps just to rant about it, whatever it is," Sam offered. "I really don't mind."

Hey, it wasn't about anyone's love life. That meant it had to be better than any other conversations she'd had so far that day.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"I would rant, but...they're all here. And I think they're still upset that I called them nosy bints last time I got my rant on."
