The Roof: Sunshine In A Bag

Built on the Braddock Estate not far from the Manor, these were constructed for the university's benefit to help house the student population.

The Roof: Sunshine In A Bag

Postby Diego Zapata » Sat Apr 22, 2017 12:22 am

Diego laid on the roof, staring up at the night sky like he always did when he was beating himself up about something. He was supposed to be this brave protector but in his first real test, he proved entirely useless. And all he had to show for it was the bandage on his temple from being thrown like a ragdoll.

He let out a sigh and said, "I'm such an idiot..."

Once he was cleared to leave, Basil got off campus for a singular purpose.

More coffin nails.

The day had been quite taxing on even those who hadn't fought, and coupled with his bent feelings he'd spent the few he overpaid on already.

He was surprised to find someone else up here so late, but at Deigo''s admission he replied.

"Join the club. We meet weekly. On Wednesday we wear sandwich boards to remind everyone of how daft we really are."

He tilted his head back to look at Basil.

"You get smacked down by an alien like a superchump too?"

"Nope!" Let off the invisible Englishmen in his cheery tone that wasn't actuallly.

"I hid in my maybe girlfriend's dorm stark naked with a pair of sewing sheers to protect her. Twice. Then I took her to see her roommate in the infirmary and for my efforts I was rewarded by being called a liar when someone else upset her, and subsequently ignored by her after her and the other person resolved their issues.

All kinds of ways to be an idiot."

" That's an oddly specific life goal." He chuckled despite himself, and made himself comfortable. He held out the fresh pack of smokes to Diego.

"Hero work's not glamourous. Like police work I imagine. You'll get your head around it."

Basil lights up, making sure to stay downwind of Diego so that he doesn't smoke him out. This makes him out of the other boys line of sight, but then again, what's to see?

" They say it's not about the fact you got knocked down, but how quickly you get back up that defines you.

They is Rocky. Rocky said that." He laughed awkwardly.

He sat up and turned around in an oddly graceful contortion.

"From what I understand, so did most of you. The girl who warned us is in the infirm now.

I'm sure you did the right thing." Basil says as he routes around in the pockets of his peacoat and starts dumping things out on the roof surface.

Tiny Bombay Sapphire, Patron, and Grey Goose bottles. The kind one associates with airline drinking.

"What did the doctors say about alcohol?"

" Booze wizard maybe? Great is debatable." He laughed.

" I'd say I have more in common with Schmendrick than Gandalf, though I assure you no second-rate pickpocket skills were used in acquiring these." Basil picked out a gin and shot it back straight, having not brought anything to chase it with.

He didn't cough or choke at the alcohol. He'd done this before.

Diego knocked back half of the tiny bottle of Patron and only coughed a little. "Just a throat tickle. Nothing to see here," he lied.

"Iiii suppppppoooossseee." Basil replied, then leant back to lay rather stiff looking on the roof, leaving the drinks out for Diego to have as his leisure.

"Tequila and deep vocal mockery is a surefire way towards permanent whiskey voice.

"Yes, and come accompanied by a John Williams score."

Chugalug, shot two.

After his drink. Basil continued to look up at the sky.

"You know, I suspected aliens could be real but after the whole time hole nazi invasion ordeal, I'm not as excited about finding that out as I thought I'd be." He admitted out loud.

"Am I already drunk or did you just say 'time nazis'?"
