well, i've been working on the thermostats problem for a day now and the bad news is: it's not heating, and the worse news is: it doesn't act like anything that's broken

and before anyone thinks of calling it 'magic' -- don't. it hasn't been long enough for me to stop being cynical

also, it's cold and i'm not in the mood

building a fire and huddling around it like it's camp won't work
i went down to talk to neal and basically anything burning fizzles out as soon as you start going upstairs
all roads are pointing towards that large circle of trust being formed in front of the fireplace in the lobby but i'm not for it

I'm not either.

The lobby's big. If we could get enough of us in a small enough room, and plug up any doorjambs, we might be able to create enough body heat to not be shivering.

I don't know who Neal is, but you can invite him if you'd like. ( if you trust him. ) The more the merrier.

he's just some guy trying desperately to prove magic is real to me

[so really clarke the answer's probably no, raven hasn't made cuddle buddies yet]

so
can it be in room 118?

[skaikru]

You read my mind.

I don't think you, me, and Octavia will be enough.

( which is her weird roundabout way of asking if it would be okay to invite lexa. )

[YEAH SHE CAN TELL. you're a book, clarke griffin.]

fine
fucking fine

[skaikru]

Great. I'll tell them to bring blankets. And some food.

It won't be that bad.

[pajarita]

i'm sure it's going to be a real hoot
circle of peace and understanding

[skaikru]

( IF SHE'S A BOOK, READ THE REPROACH IN HER TEXT. )

Raven...

[pajarita]

oh don't raven me
i'm not ready accept our lord and commander lexa into my heart
but if she's going to be a good ally to have in surviving and then getting out of here, she can join

[skaikru]

Just please don't say anything. Don't do anything. We're all going to get hurt if a fight breaks out in a small room.

text;

[pajarita]

no you won't because i won't be aiming at you

[this time. or, you know, ever again.]

text;

[skaikru]

( fucking hopefully, man )

Please.

text;

[pajarita]

look
we're moving on
any scuffle that happens is likely because she's going to be a pain in the ass but
i'll handle it
i'll handle being civil to your new best friend

text;

[skaikru]

We're not friends.

But thank you.

text;

[pajarita]

so are you not going to give her the same instruction?
or am i the only one supposed to be swallowing my words and being diplomatic?

text;

[skaikru]

I'll ask her not to say anything insensitive.

text;

[pajarita]

you're better off telling her to zip it then

text;

[skaikru]

Just

would you please take all of your blankets and pillows into your bathroom? Please.

text;

[pajarita]

what, why?

[LEGIT BELIEVES SHE IS BEING SENT TO THE BATHROOM FOR SOME REASON.]

text;

[skaikru]

( because gO TO THE CORNER )

Because I don't want to sit in a bathtub for several hours without a pillow.

text;

[pajarita]

oh
yeah alright
the most uncomfortable bathtub fort built in century, coming right up
tell everyone else to bring theirs

text;

[skaikru]

I'm on it.
