Soooooooooo tired.
Here, have a drabble! I wrote it at school, which, ironically enough, is the only place I have any free time.
When Chisato invites her over for a girls' night in, Celine has no idea what to expect. Nobody on Expel ever stayed *in* on Friday night. There was just nothing to *do* at home.
It turns out that Chisato wants to drink cocktails and watch TV.
Celine tried it a little with Ashton when they stayed at the hotel in Central City. It was basically breaking news and people talking about hair care products. Well, it was fascinating to see people moving around on the screen for the first half-hour, but after the novelty wore off it was little more than a distraction. She wonders if she can convince Chisato to go out bar-hopping instead.
At quarter to nine, she arrives at Chisato's house, with money in her bra just in case.
At nine, it turns out that Chisato has cable and invited her over for a marathon of something called 'As the Heart Burns.' "It's my soap," she admits with a laugh. "You've heard of soap operas, right? ...No? Oh, they used to be romantic dramas, but the networks realized that action got higher ratings and switched tactics. I wrote an editorial about it when I was an intern. That was my big break into special interest... oh! This is Judy Calahan, she plays-"
At ten thirty, Nathan Grey is fighting the dread Harpies of Wittlestone while Jonah makes a bid for the Presidency of Somara. Lucille is trapped in a woman's prison. Celine is gripping the edge of her seat so hard she comes close to breaking a nail.
At one, after the fourth season finale, Celine makes an offhand comment about the unresoved sexual tension between Jonah and Nathan.
At one thirty, Chisato digs through her closet and comes up with a stack of Jonah/Nathan slash fanzines. Celine is suitably impressed and delighted.
At three, slightly red in the face after quite a few cocktails, Celine turns to Chisato and says "You know, darling, I do fancy myself something of an artist..."
Two weeks later, circle Treasure Bunny's first work goes on sale in Fun City. A group of children visiting for the races flip through it when the store owner isn't looking and learn enough about sex to last them several lifetimes.
I jut really love item-making, okay? ...I really think this would be a good skillset.
