HEBB: The Dining Room

::streams glanced around, clutching her spinning head. "Yeah, some ice would really help me out here," she called weakly.::

::looking at traci and 'zexion' bonding she got up to get streamers some ice::

"Thank you, Prinny," streams said, sending her a grateful smile. "I really need to pull myself together..."

Traci looked at streams "whats the matter" she asked worried

"its ok. so what actually happened, i was so busy with ginny that i didnt realise you were hurt"

"Nothing, I just overreacted," she grumbled, glancing around with narrowed eyes.::

"oh ok" she shrugged "hmm i think i need something to do any ideas ppl" she asked

::WL found a piece of chalk, and broke it in half. Since there was no food to be eaten, she used the wooden table as a chalkboard for the time-being and set up a game of hangman...

"Anyone want to play? Traci?" she asked, offering the chalk to traci::

Traci jumped up and down "you bet daddy oh bring it on i am game" she smiled and skipped over to her

"Hangman." streams smiled wryly. "How appropriate."

"What? How's it appropriate?" WL looked at streams, confused...maybe it had something to do with what happened before...

"OK traci, it is a 7-letter word, start guessing!"

"D" she said ecidetly lokking at streams confussed

"er, no...guess again!"

::WL chalked up a big D and started drawing the hangman::

"darn um A cant go wrong with A" she said smiling

Laughing, with a wicked grin on her face, WL said,

"Oh yes you can go wrong with an A!"

She chalked up another line on the hangman...::

"gosh darn it errm N" she shrugged "i dont know"

"let me play too! E"

Traci looked at prinny "who said you could play" she smiled "i'm just kidding of course you can"

"well, there's no N, so that's one more line, but there is an E..."

WL put the E in so it looked like:

*****E*

"hmm I" traci asked hopefully

"No...try some other medium common letters..."

WL made the fourth slash on the hangman...not much longer!::

Traci thouught "S" she yelled randomly

::WL snorted..."Traci, you're trying ALL the letters but the right ones! I'm surprised you're not already grumpy..."

"me grumpy why" she smiled "T" she said again randomly

"what is it WL? just a random word? film?"

Traci laughed "daddy your mean this is hard" traci pouted

*prinny sighed*

BB the word is 7 letters long - mole is only 4

but then BB the 'E' is in the wrong place!!!

and what is your obsession woth moles?

"BB you are strange!!!"

"what did that have to do with anything? BB if i could whack you i would!"

"BB, how could you not like reading?" streams gasped. "Merlin..."

::WL rolled her eyes at everyones strange efforts at her hangman..."Come guys!! The word was BIG BROTHER?!"

She turned to look at BB's camera and said, "You wouldn't be trying to say something about Cloaked Schemer would you?"

"I don't care what the word was," streams snapped. "I don't have to play hangman with quill and parchment--every day I exist in BB's house is a virtual hangman," she muttered, shooting dark looks at everyone in the room.::

"Hey streams, we're here for god knows how long until we get evicted, we might as well do someting to pass the time..."

"For all you know we may be evicted tomorrow," streams snarled, clenching her teeth. "What do you propose we do to pass the time? Do you think there is anything that could take my mind off evictions?"

"Forget about them! Que sera sera! If we get evicted do you honestly think we can do anything about it?!"

"No...once we get evicted it is far too late to do anything...at all..." tears prickled the corners of streams' eyes. Merlin, THAT was supposed to make me feel BETTER?!

::WL gave up...streams just didn't want to make the most of time in the house...so she would just have to have fun anyway! With or without streams...::

::streams sniffled, a tear leaked out of one eye and rolled down her cheek, and she hugged Spike tightly, stroking him over and over.::

::WL looked over at streams after a couple of minutes and sighed...she looked so lonely...being so vigilant for the whole of the house couldn't be easy...she walked up to streams and stuck her hand out, "Hey, streams. I'm sorry if I upset you, I didn't mean to. Friends?"

WL hoped that streams would let someone into her hard shell...she couldn't take so much pressure alone, it wasn't healthy...::

"Why are you being nice to me?" streams wailed, her face streaked with tears.::

::prinny looked over at streams and WL:: |

"um...whats going on streamers?"

Traci sulked in. in her pj's and icecream she was eating with a fork at down and ate she sighed deeply

::WL was overwhelmed...She had just calmed down one person when that one person started crying again, and now there were two! Good Lord...Girls were confusing...

She patted streams and traci on the back and finally plonked down between the two to get maximum reach (as her neck was started to hurt)::

she looked at her daddy with sad eyes "it's not worth it"

::Ginny strolled in and shook her head at Traci.::

"It is too...wait are we talking about BB or candy? Because candy's worth it"
