Hey Kitty. I just wanted to let you know I'm going to take some time off from dispatch. Been doing it a while and I think I just need a break. I'll probably still drop by HQ every now and again and if you need me in a pinch chances are I'll be free to help out. But I've just got some stuff to sort out right now and get my head squared back on my shoulders.

[Private to Spike]

You still up for shots, popcorn and maybe some nail painting? I've got a load of bad rom-coms and a stack of horror flicks if you're interested. I promise no blood smoothies. Though seriously, you have to wonder what they'd come out like.

	[ Enough to scratch your boy toy's back to ribbons. Got it. ] Isn't that reassuring. [ He snorts, turning her hand around to see that the nails are even. Good enough. ] Other paw. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Suffering sigh, she tries to reposition the popcorn bowl to return to using her right hand while forfeiting her left.]

It's a work in progress, yeah? And I'm not going to just tear into it without putting a considerable amount of thought into the process. I just have more time to dedicate to it now... more focus, which is important. Like booze. Can we crack something open?

	[ Hey, he's doing her a favor here. Behave. ] Never thought you'd ask. [ Whiskey bottle unscrewed, he takes a hefty swig before handing it over to her. ] You wanna keep talking shop or should we put on the telly? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm capable of multitasking. [She says, nodding to the remote while taking a few sips; her nose crinkles each time.] Hey, once we get through nails - what's your game on eyeliner? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-07 11:39 am UTC (link)
	[ Telly on, horror movie going... this is actually kind of nice. ] I lived through the seventies, of course I know how to work an eyeliner. What, you looking to turn goth? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-07 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Good. I'm looking for tips. I can manage the whole 'smudged' look to cover my shaky lines but as you can probably tell I'm more into the intricacies of motherboards versus much more than lipstick. [But okay so:] What would it take though, for you to let me do yours? [Eyeliner. Make up. Whatever make over she can.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-07 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	And you're asking me. [ Rebecca, you need more girl friends. This is sad. ] And that depends - would I have to show my face outside? Because in that case, you can't afford it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-07 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	Fine, no - you wouldn't have to. [She flicks a popcorn kernel at him.] ... But what would that take? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-07 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	You really want to play makeover? And it wouldn't leave this room? [ He's considering it. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-07 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	You bet I do. I'll even be your guinea pig if you'll be mine. [She snickers.] I mean, what's a drunken movie night pseudo-sleepover if it doesn't have make overs? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-08 08:54 am UTC (link)
	Alright... fine. [ He knows when to give up. ] As long as you don't make me look like Boy George. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 02:46 am UTC (link)
	I'm liking you more and more. [She teases, already fidgeting a bit from trying to stay still. She takes another sip of alcohol.] So Idol stole his look from you and you just let him? [Because why not have this conversation again only see, she believes him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 07:46 am UTC (link)
	[ He gives her a look at that — sure, that's a claim he's made, but c'mon now. ] It was the seventies. You really think there was only one bleach blond punk out there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 07:47 am UTC (link)
	[Such a shrewd smile.] Oh so now you're saying you weren't that original. Jeez, Spike. Disappoint me some more. [She nudges him in the ribs just gently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 08:03 am UTC (link)
	I didn't say that, just that I wasn't the only one. [ Don't rib nudge him when he's doing your nails! Okay, he's nearly done with the filing. ] You need a break? Can't go hitting me with wet nails and I'm not doing this twice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 08:08 am UTC (link)
	I'm good, I'm good. Well... [She huffs, flopping around on the sofa before planting a pillow over his lap and laying her head on it. One arm bent up and the other hugging the popcorn bowl, she's comfy and with a great view. (Of the TV.)] Okay, now I'm good. Paint away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 08:43 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I see how it is. You just invited me over because you wanted the royal treatment. [ He's not complaining! This is just playful ribbing and he doesn't hesitate in the least before getting to the painting. Clear bottom coat, followed by deep red soon as it's dried enough. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 08:46 am UTC (link)
	Ah, man. This is the life. [She's grinning though, periodically flicking her eyes up to look at her hands in wonder. And then as time goes on, struggling to drink more booze with wet fingertips.] These look so hot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 08:56 am UTC (link)
	You need a straw? [ Don't mess up his work, Becca. ] And I'm not finished yet. [ Out comes the black and he works with great concentration until her nails are deliciously gothy. ] There. Just need a top coat and you're all set. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-03-09 09:00 am UTC (link)
	Damn. [No really, she's admiring them. Slightly tipsy which is making it more intense but you know, little details. She holds up her hand to admire it, grinning before gently returning it to lay back down. Top coat. Right.] I am going to scratch the shit out of Aidan with these. And probably myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 09:02 am UTC (link)
	Good thing I didn't make them razor sharp, then. [ Secret talents, amirite? He's also biting his tongue from saying something like bit of a wuss, isn't he? Trying so hard to be a friend here. ] How's it going with that guy? He know I'm here tonight? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's not my keeper. [She says, still eyeing her nails. So she hasn't gotten in that deep with Aidan to get past the friendship and sex to really detail the fact she hangs out with probably one of the previously most dangerous inmates in the dome but the fact they're sitting together watching a movie and painting nails doesn't exactly make it that big of a deal. And she's not lying at all - her and Aidan are banded but it's not like they're wed up in monogamous bliss here.]

But it's alright, yeah. We get along pretty well. The band's just... you know? A why not.

	chipswiththat 2016-03-09 10:16 am UTC (link)
	Why not. [ No judging here. He may be madly monogamous but that's starting to ease up a bit. Can't go kissing librarians and time agents and still claim to not be a bit sexually liberal. ] Me and Rose were like that... I mean, it wasn't just sex but we weren't attached at the hip. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You two worked good together. [She knows losing Rose was tough on him, even if they weren't 'attached at the hip'. There was some attachment going for sure.]

More than just an attraction's a good thing. Though I understand if a fling's just a fling, too, but bands are a lot of effort for that kind of thing. Might as well stick around for the more substantial, yeah?

	[ He loved her. Not with the firey passion as he loved Dru but no one will live up to that. ] I've never done that. Flings. [ Is that weird? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
