Still more with cleaning

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angel was up early.

That was so wrong on so many levels.

But he'd promised Krycek to help finish cleaning the Assistants Lounge, and sadly doing that was more fun than contemplating dealing with Parker's forced death march to Student Council.

Angel stood in the doorway to the lounge and pondered what he wanted to attack first.

Sean nosed around. It was possible that he sniffed around the door of one cabinet in particular more often than he did the others, but Sean was a puppy and puppies did weird things sometimes.

"It's weird how close they are," Angela agrees. "And yeah, they make for good stories. Hey, did you know Parker's birthday is tomorrow? Are people doing anything for that?"

Jake narrowed his eyes at the dog. "Go fetch ball?" he suggested.

"Parker's birthday is tomorrow?" John immediately begins getting idea. "We have to do something for our dear friend Maureen even if it's just cake and ice cream."

"I'd talk to Aeryn first, considering the fact I had to go into command mode even get that much out of him."

"And fragrant too," Callisto wrinkled her nose. "Lucky us."

[chasingangela]

"I think you're right," Angela answers. Her right, gloved, hand wields a bleach-soaked sponge, with which she's slowly breaking through the layers of fur and slime; with her left hand -- also gloved -- she picks up the chunks of ... fridge stuff ... and shoves them into a trash bag, trying hard not to look at them.

Or feel them.

Or -- ew -- smell them.

Or think about the colors they're staining her glove.

"I get course credit for this, right?" she jokes.

John nods. "Go for it. She's likely to talk to another.." He stops because he's almost says girl and that's not quite the situation. "Another fellow warrior type person before she talks to me about this kind of thing."

"Sunday could be okay," Angel said. "I - uh - I guess I pick you up? At your room?"

[chasingangela]

"It is. She's 17, I think?"

Angela picks up on the glint in John's eyes. "Are you thinking ther cake might say something? Like, "happy birthday"?"

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Word of mouth?" Angel suggested. "Maybe a poster? Feel free to cover up the ones of me for Student Council for that, by the way."

[chasingangela]

"Seriously. But at least it's not too hard to scrub off," Angela says, wrist-deep in the mould.

"We'll have to leave it open overnight to get the scent out."

"I'm too tired to act," Angel said. "Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy seeing you get all flustered."

Sam watched the entire process and backed up a few steps. "I think you should get hazardous duty pay for this," she said, completely serious.

Sean didn't actually know those words yet, but he could read body language that suggested petting wasn't forthcoming. He played with his ball, nosing it across the floor with happy puppy productivity.

"You want me to suggest names of a club I can't join?" Janet snickered. "You're just asking for trouble, aren't you?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me," Callisto replied.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Well," Angel said, coyly, "Frats need sister sororities, right? Could always start one of your own."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'll do that," Callisto nodded. "Although it probably wouldn't hurt if you did too."

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Sometime after sunset?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Callisto grinned. "Otherwise it'd be a very short date."

[chasingangela]

"That would be nice. I should get time and a half, plus a bonus for, like, possible exposure to stuff that might turn me into a gremlin."

She sits back on her heels and survbeys her work. The fridge looks .... not safe, but much better. There's only a thin, slick yellow layer left to deal with.

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Point." Angel wasn't grinning like a doof. Not at all. "So. Uh. Okay. That's good. I'll go get ready then."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam took another step back. So far Angela hadn't turned into a gremlin, but maybe this was a time exposure thing and contagious not that anything like that would ever happen by accident . She had no desire to be a gremlin.

"You want me to take a crack at that, or is it a quest for you now?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Great. So it's a date then," Callisto paused for a second before adding. "Literally."

[demonbelthazor]

"I am not flustered," Bel said. "I knew you were up to something."
