Milk and cookies before curfew? [ota]

[pendingprobable]

It wasn't every day that you were told you had to at least be in your room before ten o'clock. And for a girl who'd never even known what a curfew was before all of this, it was a bit of a test. Of course, Holly usually aced her tests -it helped knowing you would. At least most of the time

*El needed a glass of water. Stryker could take his curfew and stick it up his ass. She was 28 and perfectly able to get a drink at quarter past 10. She entered Mess, the light dull enough to get away without wearing her sunglasses. A plus, as she'd left them by her bed. A young woman sitting at the table drinking what appeared to be milk and eating cookies caught her attention, mid-reaching for a glass.*

Evening.

"Yo." Holly raised her free hand, smirking slightly around a mouthful of cookies. She wasn't too concerned with manners, she'd been told often enough that she didn't have any. "There's crap biscuits in the cupboard if you feel like drying out your mouth."

All Holly really needed was that mild light from the back of the kitchen. She could see that the woman was blonde, sort of tall, and older than her.

She didn't need anything else.

[silverhypnosis]

No, I'll be fine. Thank you anyway.

*El proceeded to get her glass of water before pulling herself up onto the counter and sitting.*

At least I'm not the only one disobeying this bullshit excuse for a bed time.

Holly just shrugged. "Can't sleep when I'm hungry. I get hungry a lot. So;" She indicated towards her crumbled biscuits. "Would'a been better making a sandwich or something."

But she's far too lazy for that. At least at this time. She'd rather just chew the rubbish cardboard like biscuit and drink her milk. And if Stryker pulled her up, well...He wasn't actually going to anyway.

[silverhypnosis]

I'm not a huge fan of either, so it's not a big concern.

*She chuckled before taking a sip of water. Though it was dull, she could tell the woman in front of her was a red head, and she assumed her hair was brighter than it appeared to her. In fact, all objects in the room were a duller shade of their colour, another thing El had to live with.*

"What, you don't like biscuits? Who doesn't like biscuits?" Holly used to pilfer as many packets as she could from the local shopping market. Her mother never remembered to go shopping, and if Holly had her way, she'd have lived on biscuits.

Shrugging lightly, Holly smiled a little smile. "Well, your loss will be my gain." At least once she got some decent stuff to nibble. "So you just one of those thirsty before bed types?"

[silverhypnosis]

Not usually. But, I've had a cold so...

*She smiled.*

And I like biscuits, when they're in Tim Tam form. With a coffee.

*She finished her water and moved to wash the cup.*

I'm El.

[pendingprobable]

Wiping the crumbs from her lips with the back of her hand -another fabulous display of her manners, Holly washed her mouthful down with milk and cleared her throat. "I'm Holly. Pleasure."

Nodding slightly, Holly raised her eyes as things mapped out for her, smirking just a touch before shaking her head. "Bit of advice?" Sometimes being this great rocked. "Go the long way back to your room. Outside then in? It'll be better for ya."

And those stupid 'hall monitors' could kiss ass.

*El arched a brow but nodded.*

Got it, thanks.

*El let out a long sigh, finally comfortable without the obtrusive sunglasses on her face. She was able to go without them in her room, but without a room mate it was currently very boring.*

Holly just waved her hand. "It's cool." She could be helpful sometimes, and she wondered if it was the rebel that made her want to screw over the 'you will not be out of your room after ten' or if was just her 'nice nature' that just wasn't her.

Ew, she was becoming nice. That wouldn't work. Maybe it was time to switch around the salt and pepper shakers. Salt in the sugar dish. Hell; it wasn't like she could turn off the hot water supply.

"This blows." She said out loud, not really meaning to.

[silverhypnosis]

*El had been side tracked and her attention returned to Holly when she spoke.*

What blows?

[pendingprobable]

She gave a tight smile. "I'm bored shitless. And it's cold. And there's nothing to do." Of course it wasn't like she didn't know this was going to happen.

America's Playground, this was not. She was even missing that stupid little uniform of hers. Because despite the utter ridiculousness of it, at least it was warm.

"Wanna swap the salt and pepper over?"

[silverhypnosis]

I agree. Shooting range would be nice if it wasn't the friggin' Antarctic.

*She smiled.*

Sure. Why not? No harm for me.
