Room 511, Monday Afternoon

[wasthecuteone]

After her class with the teachers of UST-for-great-justice, Petra had gone back to her room, missing her parents and Tiara and feeling kind of low. Since that was completely unproductive, she decided to do something. Sew something, maybe. Or, wait, she had a better idea. Like most of the world, she'd missed out on Missoni for Target, which was tragic, because Target fashion was about as far as her budget extended most of the time. But that was fine, because she was a DIY-er. She'd make her own damn scarf. And then maybe a hat and some armwarmers, too, if she got really excited.

She hauled the box containing yarn and knitting and crocheting stuff out from under her bed and settled down to make critical pattern and color combination decisions. Anyone walking by in the hallway who happened to look in would find Petra sitting on the floor, surrounded by what looked like the scene of a yarn bomb explosion and deep in thought, with this 'Lady Gaga' person Kenzi had introduced her to's music wafting at a respectful-of-her-neighbors volume from her laptop.

Petra rolled her eyes in agreement. "I know, right? What's hot about a pasty room-temperature guy who wants to kill you? But apparently hot trolls are where it's at, now. That's why Captains Bodacious got canceled, which is a travesty of epic proportions."

Kenzi's brain tried to rear to the back of her skull. "Trolls? Like the janitor?! Ew ew ew... Wait. Captains Bodacious." She savored the words. "Would there be... leather pants, on this show?"

[wasthecuteone]

"There would," Petra confirmed. "And blousy open shirts, and wind-tousled hair and sexy stubble..." she sighed. "It's The Corporation's hit reality show about British boarding school boys who witness a crime and run away to become rock star pirates." So, special version of 'reality.' "It's like, TV heroin. I actually know some of the cast; they screwed up and wrecked their ship on the island we were already stranded on." Mentioning she'd dated their captain would probably be bragging.

"This sounds like my dream show," Kenzi said in tones of awe, staggered. "Wait, you know them? You were stranded on an island with hot pirates? Did I mention that I hate you?"

"It was canceled after series IV, Badder & More Bodaciouser for Trollin' on Delaware Beach. It was the worst day in television history," Petra said somberly. "And no, you hadn't. But you have a boyfriend, so." She shrugged.

"Point. But still!" Kenzi asked the important question: "Are there DVDs? And were they cool as well as hot?" She paused. "I wonder what Toby would look like in a pirate shirt..." Somewhere, his brain was probably tickling, even if he didn't know why.

[wasthecuteone]

"Yeeeees," Petra said slowly. She wasn't going to admit to owning them, because then Kenzi would want to borrow them and they were hers, dammit. "Or it might be online? Maybe you could get Toby to go as a pirate for Halloween!"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

Smart Petra. Kenzi might not be able to resist never giving them back, no matter what she felt she owed the other girl.

"I am going to find this and download it like a mofo." Kenzi grinned, gleeful. "Oooooo. I could! I could go as a pirate wench, I have corsets! And the boots! He just needs an appropriately billowy shirt and some tight pants." She paused.

"...okay, I'm back. Ahem. So, you know what you're going as?"

[wasthecuteone]

"Haven't decided yet," Petra admitted. "I already did the superhero thing during the campaign, so that's out."

"And did it well," Kenzi complimented her, winding her yarn strand around her thumb to cut off the blood supply. She watched her thumb turn red and then let it loose. "And you were already Miss Delaware. Hmmm. Not vampires, obviously." She looked around the yarn and fabric. "You know it's bad when you realize you know people who you'd pretend to be on Halloween."

Petra burst into a laugh. "I know, right? Like, I can't be a pirate." Or Ladybird Hope.

"I can't be a pink pony," Kenzi said, grinning. "Orrr, hmm. A renaissance princess, we've got a couple of those, and... dude, I'd still go as a ninja." She shook her head. "Naaah, pirate. Booty and plunder!"
