Ichigo, I thought I forbade trumpet-playing. Would you kindly keep it down? Some of us are trying to revise for our exams. -Uryu Ishida
For a start, you only forbade trumpet-playing between midnight and 6am. -Ichigo
Also, I'm not the one playing. -Ichigo
~~Yeah, whoever's playing it is actually pretty good. There's no way it's Ichigo. -Rukia~~
What's that supposed to mean? -Ichigo
Sorry. I'm practicing for my performance exam. -Chad
Chad plays the trumpet. Of course. -Uryu Ishida
*That's such a pretty piece, Chad! What is it called? -Orihime xx*
Poulenc's Sonata for Horn, Trumpet and Trombone. -Chad
*Wow! So you'll be performing with two other people? -Orihime xx*
Yes. -Chad
I don't mean to sound rude, Chad, but aren't there rooms for practicing in over in the music department? -Uryu Ishida
They're full. -Chad
~~You're excused. -Rukia~~
Okay, does anybody have an explanation for the fact that I just opened the oven and found eleven defrosting pizzas stacked on top of each other? -Uryu Ishida
In fact, you might call it the Leaning Tower of Pizza. -Uryu Ishida
~~Did Uryu just make a joke? -Rukia~~
Don't make jokes, Uryu, it's just scary when you do. -Ichigo
... -Uryu Ishida
But yeah, the pizzas were me. Renji was around last night to revise with me, and we decided we were hungry so we went to the shop, bought eleven frozen pizzas and put them in the oven. Then we decided that actually we were too tired to bother with them, so we both went to sleep instead. I guess we forgot to put the pizzas back in the freezer. -Ichigo
Alcohol may have been involved. -Ichigo
I shouldn't have asked. -Uryu Ishida
*Well, if the pizzas have defrosted they shouldn't go back in the freezer. Should I cook them for us all? -Orihime xx*
WOOOOT PIZZA PARTY -renji abarai
Renji, you freeloader. -Ichigo
what? you were going to let me have half last night. -renji abarai
I WAS DRUNK LAST NIGHT. -Ichigo
what's your point? -renji abarai
*I've finished cooking the pizzas! Ichigo, you and Renji picked out some really boring pizzas, so I improved them with sweetcorn, toffee sauce and green beans. They're on the dining table. Tuck in! -Orihime xx*
~~Orihime, you should open a restaurant. Seriously. Your combinations sound really weird, but they work so well together it's unreal. -Rukia~~
no, i'm not sure i'm brave enough... -renji abarai
~~Don't be a baby, Renji, I thought you wanted the pizza earlier. -Rukia~~
... -renji abarai
this is delicious. -renji abarai
Right. I would like to propose a group trip to the library this evening to revise together. On my own I just end up goofing off and I actually do want to do well in my exams. -Ichigo
You just like the attention from the librarians, don't you? -Uryu Ishida
Shush. You're just jealous. -Ichigo
SHA LA LA LA LA LA MY OH MY, LOOKS LIKE THE BOY'S TOO SHY, AIN'T GONNA KISS THE GIRL... -renji abarai
You're not still going on about this, are you, Renji? -Uryu Ishida
Did he just call me a girl? -Ichigo
don't mind me, i'm just revising for the media studies exam i'm turning up for tomorrow. -renji abarai
~~Yeah, there's quite a lot of focus on Western animation. Usually with a catchy soundtrack. -Rukia~~
~~A WHOLE NEW WOOOORLD, A NEW FANTASTIC POINT OF VIEW... -Rukia~~
Is it just me or has everybody lost the plot? -Chad
*Yeah, exams can do that. -Orihime xx*
Author's notes: Yeah, revision madness. The next chapter will have something more closely resembling plot. :D
Apologies for the four-day delay, I've been writing other things in an attempt to prevent myself from burning out. On the plus side, I managed to churn out two new one-shots. IT'S THE LAST DAY OF NANOWRIMO TODAY and I'm on around 38,000 words, so I'm not going to make 50K, but I'm going for forty. This means more uploads after work tonight. Yay! :D
