Room 508, Sunday Afternoon

[spin_kick_snap]

Today had been declared a lazy day. Kathy didn't have them often, but even she needed some downtime occasionally. Other than going to take a shower--after which she'd changed right back into a pair of pajamas--she hadn't left the room. Right now she was sprawled across her bed watching Netflix on her laptop because going all the way to the common room was just too far. Eventually she'd end up getting hungry enough that snacks would no longer suffice and she'd have to figure out a food plan, which would probably involve pants, ugh, but she was determined to get as much lounging in as possible before that.

Overall, this was a pretty good day. Maybe she should be lazy more often.

"Wait," Kathy said, "are you really getting me ice? I was teasing! But, since you're already up..." She grinned. "Wanna snag two of my Dove bars?"

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Two?" Ringo blinked, then giggled. "Wow, you really are having a lazy day."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Did you not want one?" Kathy asked, looking confused.

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Oh," Ringo said, actually slightly surprised, but trying to play it off. "That's what you meant." Because a teasing tone said you did it on purpose, right?

[spin_kick_snap]

"Well, now that you mention it, I probably shouldn't be sharing since you're so mean to me all the time," Kathy said, nodding. "Maybe I will eat both of those right in front of you and not share."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo considered that as she opened the fridge. Being mini, it was pretty easy to find the ice cream bars. "I suppose they are yours, so you could do that." She shot a glance over her shoulder. "But I'd be required to film your gluttony for the sake of posterity."

She took two bars and then closed the mini-fridge and sauntered back toward the bed.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Pffft, if you want to see gluttony, you should see me in the cafeteria on pancake day," Kathy said, plucking one of the bars from Ringo's hand and unwrapping it. "Two ice creams is nothing."

[Sorry! I keep falling asleep!]

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Pancake day, huh?" Ringo grinned. She unwrapped her own ice cream thoughtfully. "So that's your weakness."

[ZOMG! How dare you?]

[spin_kick_snap]

"I have lots of weaknesses," Kathy admitted. "If the caf served kimchi or bulgogi or anything else, I'd never leave. But even so, I'm almost always eating something. Part of my powerup included an increased metabolism. I'm hungry, like, all the time."

[soniaroadsqueen]

A slow smirk spread across Ringo's face. "I see. Your powerup, huh? Not your fault at all?"

Like Ringo could tease about eating. She didn't have an enhanced metabolism, or anything, but she was active enough to compete with an Olympic athlete for calories burned.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Of course not," Kathy said with a lazy grin. "Everything about me is either awesome or completely beyond my control."

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo threw her head back to laugh at that one. After five or ten seconds of that, she managed to look back up and catch her breath.

And remember that she totally had an ice cream bar in her hand, still wrapped.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You can laugh," Kathy said smugly. "But I know your little secret, Ringo."

[soniaroadsqueen]

That froze Ringo for a horrible moment, but then she realized that Kathy couldn't mean what she'd feared for a moment. "Uh huh. That I'm better than you at everything but singing and bouncing off of things?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Nope!" Kathy said. "You're just jealous. That's all. Just painfully, terribly jealous."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"But who could I possibly be jealous of?" Ringo asked, trying to look nonchalant and cool as she unwrapped her ice cream bar and take a small, experimental bite.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Me, obviously!" Duh, Ringo, duh. "Because I'm amazing and you know it."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"No," Ringo said, trying to look totally casual and not on the verge of giggles as she nibbled 'daintily' at her ice cream. "Doesn't ring a bell."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I'm about to ring your bell, you keep it up," Kathy sniffed. "Honestly, all anyone's done today is come into my room and sass me. And I'm such a nice girl!"

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo didn't even try to hold back her laughter. "It's because you look so cute when you fake sulk like that," she pointed out with a grin.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Who says I'm faking?" Kathy asked, contriving to pout even more.

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ohmygosh! Ringo scrambled to pull her phone out of her pocket, nearly dropping her ice cream. She needed a picture of this!

[spin_kick_snap]

"What are you doing?!" Kathy asked, pouty expression changing to confusion. She'd seen that ice cream nearly fall, Ringo!

[soniaroadsqueen]

Ringo managed to get her phone up just in time for Kathy's expression to change.

Which caused her shoulders to slump, though she did at least save her ice cream. "Dang. Almost got it." Now look who was pouting.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy snickered. "Were you trying to capture my pout for posterity?" she asked. "Was that going to be the picture you used for whenever I called?"
