Room 317- Friday

[notconflicted]

To anyone who came by, they'd probably think Sia had gone through some little changes in the last day or so, but Sia had always been like this. Her room was cleaner and a lot quieter without the dog in it, her wardrobe was darker in color and just slightly more revealing than usual, but other than that, she might seem almost normal.

It was because ever since she realized just how many Jedi flocked to this place at any given time, she'd found it in her best interest to keep a low profile. It wouldn't do for her to get found out as a Sith princess when her father had sent her here specifically to preserve the line for the day one of his people inevitably turned on him, would it?

Her door was open, and she was trying to get some homework done. Really, that sort of thing just helped in honing rage sometimes.

[Oh I went to the Sith AU place. Door and post open! Sia won't do anything bad but she miiight try to get in your head cuz it's fun and all.]

"Hey, Si," Atton called, depositing his shoulder against the doorway. "Have you seen Cade lately?"

Where the hell was the dog?

[notconflicted]

"Why would I want to do a thing like that?" she asked, looking up at him.

[suitably_heroic]

"I dunno, he's been acting weird," Atton said casually. "Weird enough to go bothering people - and the kind of weird that's your type."

He was getting this weird, crawling sensation in his stomach - something bad. Weird.

[notconflicted]

Sia raised an eyebrow, but she had to admit that did sound interesting, potentially. "And what exactly is my type?"

[suitably_heroic]

"Farting flowers, giving hugs and going to bed before 10 PM?" Atton said.

[notconflicted]

He was definitely getting a look like he was crazy now. Low profile or not, she didn't exactly have that sort of reputation. "Try again."

[suitably_heroic]

"Oh, right," Atton said, rolling his eyes. "Your type is 'nobody'. Sorry, Princess. Forgot all about that."

[notconflicted]

Sia narrowed her eyes at him, trying to get a feel of where he was coming from with this. "Did you really come here just to talk about Cade?"

[suitably_heroic]

He eyed her right back. That bad feeling in his stomach was building. "Yes?" Atton offered. "Figured I'd bug you back, since you love bugging me so much."

[notconflicted]

Her smirk probably didn't help any of that. "Bugging you. I never would have called it that."

[suitably_heroic]

"Some of us try to keep up with the local slang," Atton drawled. He kept his vaguely annoyed expression firmly in place, but he was really starting to get worried now.

There was a faucet dripping somewhere behind an open door not too far away. One drip. Two drip. Three drips.

[notconflicted]

Sia had a feeling she was getting somewhere good with him, even if it was just making him really uncomfortable, so she just watched him way too closely for a moment, and waited, like she expected him to say something more.

[suitably_heroic]

"Is there something on my face?" Atton asked, slipping some bored into his tone while he let his surface brain drift off into the realm of dripping faucets and simple mathematics. "Am I actually catching you on an off day? Because I'm going to have to write that one up in my diary."

"Oh, Sia!" Jessica called when she reached her BFF's door. "Great news, if you didn't hear yet!"

[notconflicted]

Sia could tell just from the tone of the voice that this was not what she wanted to deal with. "And what would that be?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Party tomorrow! You'll be there, right?" Jessica checked. "There's a lollipop in it for you!" She held the lollipop out and everything.

[notconflicted]

Sia looked at the lollipop disdainfully, then back at Jessica.

She was refusing a lollipop. This was how you knew she was evil.

"What is it for?" she checked.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"For snacking," Jessica said before putting the lollipop on Sia's desk. She'd get to it later, surely. "Unless you mean the party. The party is for the fact that we haven't had a good old party in way too long." A week probably seemed like way too long to Jessica.

[notconflicted]

"Do you think other people would show up?" Sia asked in a tone that said she wasn't sure about that. Or maybe she was just trying to see if she could make Jessica doubt herself a tiny bit.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Hope springs eternal, and I'm sure I'll get at least one or two bored people at a worst case," Jessica said. "And if that's the case, then they get to feel extra special because then the party is just for them!"

[notconflicted]

All right, this was definitely not the Jessica she knew, and she wasn't entirely sure this version of her wasn't going to get Force choked at some point.

"We'll see if I feel like it," she decided, sounding bored.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Aww, thanks!" Jessica said, because that sounded like a yes to her. After all, why wouldn't Sia feel like partying? "You know what? I hate to play favorites, but you're getting two lollipops." She pulled a second lollipop out of her purse and held it out. Maybe she would take this one.

[notconflicted]

Sia tried being more direct this time. "No."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I'll leave it over here with the other one. I just want to note that if your blood sugar is low, they will help, but I wouldn't necessarily depend on them," Jessica mentioned. "Maybe I should bring you some fruit instead."

[notconflicted]

"I'd rather you didn't bring me anything." Sometimes she wished she could be more overtly terrible without making people wonder about her.
