239/240 - Wednesday afternoon

[notcalledlizzie]

Despite having been raised in New England, Elizabeth didn't really like snow. It was fine for skiing, say, but she was quite happy staying inside in the warmth and watching the snow from her window.

One might accuse her of hiding, but she'd prefer to call it strategic concealment.

"She's not a tyrant to me," said Elizabeth, slightly smugly. "And I do write. Um. Did write. I've been busy."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet snickered. "I'm not a tyrant because you're not an ass," she murmured, leaning down and licking delicately at Elizabeth's nipple.

"Please," said Rodney. "How busy do they keep you in high school? I'm reading an IP address coming from your room, and a webcam attached to it. It should be active in a few minutes so we can all talk."

"What?" squeaked Elizabeth, her eyes growing wide as she glanced around the room.

[janet_fraiser]

"Wait, what?" asked Janet. "What's going on?"

"Webcam!" exclaimed Elizabeth, a horrified look on her face. "Rodney, did it not occur to you that we might not be suitable for a video feed?"

[janet_fraiser]

"Webcam?" shrieked Janet, scrambling off Elizabeth and reaching for their clothing.

"Not suitable for a video feed?" Rodney sounded confused. "Why wouldn't you-- Oh. Oh, God. You and Dr. Tyrannical are--"

"What?" yelped Elizabeth. "We are in our room, Rodney, which is our personal space, which means that we're not necessarily suited for viewing by the outside world."

[janet_fraiser]

"Right," yelped Rodney. "Please don't let Dr. Fraiser kill me."

"Hippocratic oath!" snapped Janet, pulling on her shirt and then tossing Elizabeth's onto the bed.

"She says that she can't," said Elizabeth, tugging her shirt on frantically. "But I can."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet dove for her pants, kicking her panties under the bed. "I might make an exception for him."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Did you hear that, Rodney?" asked Elizabeth, glancing around frantically.

[janet_fraiser]

Rodney gulped. "I always knew she was a homicidal maniac," he said. "I'll be nice!"

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Do you even know the meaning of the word?" asked Elizabeth.

[janet_fraiser]

A different voice huffed indignantly. "Rodney never knows how to be nice."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

Elizabeth laughed softly. "Radek? How are you? This is a nice surprise."

[janet_fraiser]

Janet flopped down onto the bed with a magazine and waved in the direction of her laptop.

"Everything is very good, Elizabeth," said Radek. "Though Rodney is muttering awful things about your roommate, but you know Rodney. He mutters awful things about everyone. Tell me how you have been."

"Oh, you know," said Elizabeth. "Classes, translation work, college applications. A few invasions of the school, but pretty much just high school all over again."

[janet_fraiser]

"Your school keeps getting invaded?" There was a worried note in Radek's voice. "I thought Earth was supposed to be safe. But translation work should keep you busier than high school classes."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, this place is a little out of the ordinary," said Elizabeth.

[janet_fraiser]

"I am discovering that," said Radek. "Carson is muttering something about little redheaded terrors and that Wraith plague."

Janet snorted. "I heard that," she said, not looking up from her magazine.

The screen of Janet's monitor lit up. "Ah, there we are," said Rodney. "We have a connection. We've rigged up a private radio channel for this call."

"Rodney, shut up and turn on the camera so that Elizabeth can see us," said Radek. "Is my turn to say hello."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Does that mean I can put the phone down?" asked Elizabeth, amusement in her voice.

[janet_fraiser]

"Yes, yes, you can put the phone down," said Rodney impatiently. "Could you have a harder computer to hack into?"

"Rodney," said Radek warningly. "I will cut off your headset if you do not shut up. Elizabeth was telling me about her translation work."

[notcalledlizzie.livejournal.com]

"Didn't Sam do the security on your laptop?" Elizabeth asked Janet innocently.

[janet_fraiser]

"This summer, when I was in Colorado, yes," said Janet, smirking. "She was telling me that she's been working on some new protocols she wanted to test out, though."

"Oh, isn't that just like Sam to--" said McKay, sighing. A burst of static came over the computer.

"There," said Radek, looking satisfied as he moved into view on the monitor. "Rodney will be rejoining us when he learns to shut up and play nicely."

Elizabeth smiled and waved. "Hello, Radek."
