A hat, you say. Now I guess I have to go over.

[ffuckoff]

Ah, shit. Now I have to buy a hat. [She smiles, and takes a sip of her concoction.] ...You're right, it is better.

[sufferably]

Here's a tip-- I'm usually right. Especially about my drinks.

( he smiles again, then stops like he's remembered he doesn't usually do that. )

How long've you been around, then? To see roommates come and go.

[ffuckoff]

Ohh, big talker. I'll consult you on all things in the future. [She keeps on drinking.] Nearly four months. I had one roommate, nice guy, he moved in with his wife when she showed up. That was the British alien. And then some French guy, I dunno where he went. Third time's the American. [Fiona is hoping attempt number four will finally get her a girl roommate, or maybe she'll have moved out by then. Or gone the fuck home.]

[sufferably]

That sucks. Being here that long, I mean.

Least no one in this house seems like an outright ass. ( unless you count him, he supposes. ) Some of the others seem questionable.

[ffuckoff]

Well, this is the nurse house. All the assholes are in the asshole house. [We'll just... not comment on how much it's sucked being stuck here. Yeah.]

[sufferably]

So where do the asshole nurses go?

[ffuckoff]

I guess the gods flip a coin, and here you are. [She laughs-- it's obviously a joke, and meant kindly; Fiona is just an abrasive person in general-- and offers him another drink.] I'm sure there're plenty of assholes everywhere. I just heard that Baldr's made special for douchebags.

[sufferably]

( he takes the offered drink, sips at it before he thinks of baldr, and dr whale, and how true fiona's words are. )

Yeah, I'm coming to see that. And Thor's got the jocks, and Loki the liars? Something like that.

[ffuckoff]

Yeah. I dunno exactly how the split goes, but it can get pretty weird. Like, Hel's supposed to have all the psychos, but some of the sweetest kids in the school are stuck there. [Fiona, never particularly philosophically-minded, gives the mysteries of the universe a shrug.]

[sufferably]

...Hel is for children. ( he says that very iconically, clearly quoting but not ready to break into pat benatar just yet. )

I stopped trying to apply logic to anything around here after the first day. Less of a headache, all told.

[ffuckoff]

[Fiona rolls her eyes, but she's smiling.] I dunno, I'd go nuts if there weren't any rules anywhere. Gives you something to think about, I guess. Just don't get too obsessed with the answers.

[sufferably]

Smart way to go about it, I figure. ( he takes another sip. )

Don't look at the peak of the mountain while you're climbing up from the bottom, and all of that. Good way to drive yourself crazy.
