Zero opens up the library and settles in behind the desk. For all your bookish needs.

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

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

Re: Third Period

"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

"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?"

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

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

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

Re: Third Period

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

"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.

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

Angela overhears this and shoots a pleading glance at Sam.

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"Probably not," she admitted.

Re: Third Period

"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."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Nosy bints?" Sam asked, trying to hide her amusement. "And feel free to rant at me anytime. Or we could just go blow something up in the shop room. It almost always makes me feel better."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"That's Twitch 'n Arsenal's fun. They'd never let me play."

Re: Third Period

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Wanna? I could talk to Mac sometime..."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

Zero tries to remain calm, but her whole face lights up, which destroys the effect.

Re: Third Period

Sam grinned back, happy at having found a kindred soul. "We may be having a class on explosives sometime soon, if you want to try and stop by. If not, I'll set something up. It'd be fun to actually blow something up on purpose..."

Re: Third Period

[swerval_zero]

"I'll see if I can squeeze it into my schedule."

Re: Third Period

"Cool--Mondays and Wednesdays, first and second periods." She checked her watch. "Ooh, gotta go. Government class and all the glories of the President today." She waved and walked out.
