[inexactitude]

So this is what you guys warned me about, huh. [Someone seems kind of put out. And maybe a tiny bit shaken. And bruised, but she's ignoring that. She's got a guitar in her lap, but she's just holding it there, not playing.]

I don't get how you can just - shoot someone and--

No, sorry, we don't need more of that. [She leans forward and fiddles at the computer, and in the background Pocket Fulla Sunshine is now playing quietly. Then she leans back in her chair again, hands on the guitar.]

I painted my dog's nails to this, once. Best waste of a Saturday night ever. [But she shakes her head a little, waving a hand.] I'd serenade you guys, if I knew anything serenade worthy...You know, I could seriously use some Starbucks right now, and I know, I'm dating my generation really hideously with that but sometimes a mocha frappe really brightens a day. Or a week. Especially one like this has been.

Did you know they make alcoholic whip cream? It tastes kind of like bad maple syrup. ....Which I know only through hearsay, of course, I mean obviously. [Have a look that is totally innocent but also says lol not really.] I wonder if there's any in the pub. I bet that in some coffee would be a great pick-me-up.

[She starts strumming the guitar. Nothing really magical, just a chord or two or three in no particular order.] So do new people come in every month? I mean, it's starting to seem like that, but Jesus, how have we not hit overcrowding yet?

[Private to Heero]

Did you come through okay?

[Private to the Admiral]

Can I have a pair of those safari vest things,and giant nets? ...And one safari hat.

[YOU WILL LEARN TO HUG, HEERO. EVENTUALLY. :C She's keeping her hands on his shoulders and letting her head droop dramatically for a moment before looking him in the eye again.]

I'll take it. [Pause. ONE MORE QUICK HUG then she's straightening. There may be ninja hugs in the future, Heero.]

[Spam] Trapped in the Apple store. :C

[resultofwar]

[Heero is not-quite-smiling at this point, even if he does still feel kind of awkward about this whole "hugging" thing - what does one do while hugging? :|a - and nods once, glad they're on the same page about this. After a beat, he asks:] Do you want to talk about what happened?

[Spam] Sob apple let her gooooo :c

[worstsongever]

[One generally hugs back, Heero. :| But Olive goes back to her desk chair and drags it over, along with her guitar because it's stupid and kind of comforting.]

No. Maybe. Do you want to talk about it?

[Spam] They actually kicked me out, apparently I was on the computer too long. >>

[resultofwar]

[HMMMMM considering that question.] ... What Cooper did was wrong.

[Not... really a question? But also not a statement, still semi confused by all this.]

[Spam] ....That is slightly hilarious. c:

[worstsongever]

[She opens her mouth but hesitates, and decides it's probably best if she didn't lead the conversation.] What do you think he should have done?

[Spam] MY SISTER BOUGHT A LAPTOP GDI I WAS TECHNICALLY A PAYING CUSTOMER

[resultofwar]

[... Is this a trick question?] I don't know. I think he did the right thing. Kay said there were other options we all should have explored first.

[Spam] HOW DARE THEEYYYYY

[worstsongever]

[Yes. :|] So...why do you think he did the right thing?

[Spam] IKR

[resultofwar]

We were all in danger. Cooper kept casualties to a minimum and eliminated the threat. That's what I've been trained to do.

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

[Sooo not equipped to handle this, but. She can focus on the part that concerns him.] He did it with minimum threat to himself, too.

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

Yeah. [Where are you going with this, Olive. :|a]

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

No random suicide runs or anything to get to her. [Hint. Hint. :|]

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

No. [OLIVE WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS.]

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

[SOMEWHERE IMPORTANT. >|] So...don't you think that's logical? Live to fight another day and all?

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

I guess. [NOT REALLY, NO.]

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

[:|||] That's it? You guess? Nothing else to add there?

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

It's logical. [Happy now?]

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

[No. :|] You really don' twant to talk about this?

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

I don't know what you want me to say.

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

I don't want you to...I just think it's something you should talk about, Heero.

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

Why?

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

[Time for bluntness. :|] Because you've got suicidal tendencies and they concern me.

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

[Hnnnnn, so much dnw. :|] It shouldn't.

Re: [Spam]

[worstsongever]

[HELLO face is go] Have I mentioned I'm your warden? Here to help you? All that jazz?

[Spam]

[resultofwar]

Did you talk to Kay?

[Spam]

[worstsongever]

...Maybe. Why.
