Who: Katie and OTA
What: Oops!
When: 1a Sunday Morning
Where: On Call Room

Katie was on call. After hours Healers had to help in any Department they could if it was their night to work late. Katie had just gotten finished handling an incident where a wife had caught her husband sneaking in late and cursed his you-know-whats into tiny blue knots. She was starting to think that the human body could never make her squeamish again, and then she saw that.

Now she was erasing the image from her mind as she blearily pushed the door to the On Call Room open. Someone was on the bottom bunk of the nearest bed. She didn't turn on a light, in case they were sleeping.

Katie put her foot up on the ladder to climb onto the top bunk. Yes, there was another bed free, but she'd caught someone having sex in it once and she refused to sleep there.

Someone had hung scrubs on the next step. Katie's foot pressed down and the fabric slid easily off the ladder. She let out a bizarre squeal before falling back and landing on the cold tile floor with a thud and a groan.

Adrian was at the hospital tonight. Begrudgingly. Someone important was going to die any minute now and he was supposed to be there to release a statement in order to cover up any controversy over the death that might come up. Then the public could just go back digging up gossip from the past rather than make up conspiracies over the present.

He was in bed watching an old episode of the X-Files when he heard the tumble and a groan. Silently turning off the charms, he briefly glanced to the side and saw crumpled blonde girl on the floor.

"There are a pair of scrubs on the ladder." He said simply before staring at the bottom of the top bunk again.

	"Thanks for the warning," she said in a tone that should have been more sarcastic, but lacked the energy. Katie pushed herself up and checked her pockets to make sure her wand hadn't broken. That was why hers was made of hardwood. "Your scrubs?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. She was still talking. There was a pregnant pause while Adrian debated whether or not to continue the conversation. "Are there blood stains on it?" He said finally, more to the top bunk. It was easier to have a conversation when he couldn't see who he was talking to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," she said, squinting in the poorly lit room. "Grease and onions, I think." She dared to sniff them. "Dripped cheese steak I'd guess." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Not mine. I don't eat red meat and I always keep my scrubs clean." Adrian tapped his wand against the bottom of the top bunk and a little screen popped out. "I was hoping that you didn't bleed on them on your way down." The X-Files theme song played. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Glad you were concerned about the scrubs." What a bastard. Katie climbed back, successfully, onto the top bunk and settled down. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Katie settling onto the top bunk caused his screen shudder and distort. He blinked. "You must be at least 12 stone. My screen almost broke." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh you did not just call me fat." Katie had been trying to shut out X-Files theme music so she could sleep. She was trying to pretend that Adrian had not just been nonchalant about her possible bodily injury, but this? You just did not call a girl fat.

Katie peeked over the edge of the bed and reached under her bunk, moving her hand back and forth to try and touch his screen and break it. Mature.

	Fat? He was hardly calling her fat. He was making an observation. Like saying she had blonde hair. Or had a slightly crooked nose. "Hey!" He batted her hand away from the screen. "Stop that! What do you think you're doing?" Adrian chased after her hand for a while before catching it with a firm grasp. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm messing up your annoying TV show because you called me fat." She tried to tug her hand away, but it was a difficult angle. She had reached around the mattress and now she had no good leverage. Katie wasn't a big X-Files fan. She just never started into it, so she didn't care to hear it while she wanted to sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I did not call you fat. I was just making an observation. It's not my fault that you weigh enough to break a screen," He retorted back. Adrian was disgruntled already. Now he had to deal with this made him even more aggravated. Katie was putting up a good fight and almost got away until he made one strong tug toward the ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'm closer to ten stone, you prat." Ten stone four, to be exact. And then he tugged. Katie grabbed the frame of the bed, holding on for dear life. The result was tipping the entire top-heavy thing and sending Adrian to the ground as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As he tumbled out of his bunk, Adrian crawled out of its way as it fell. He got out relatively unscathed. Not so much his screen, though. It made a shatter as it connected with the floor. "Ugh, you cow! You broke my screen!" He got up to survey the mess. "And the entire BED!" Adrian spat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're the one who tried to kill me!" Okay, maybe a little melodramatic, but if you could die from one sucker punch, you could die from falling off of a bunk bed. "If you hadn't yanked my arm, this wouldn't have happened, so you broke the damn screen and the bed!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"But YOU were the one who started this whole fight because you were being far too oversensitive about your weight. Ten stone?" Adrian scoffed. This was surprising to him. He wanted to keep talking. He had a million things he wanted to say. This is what his father must feel like whenever he's arguing with his mother.

"Hardly. And I wouldn't be surprised if you were a charmed blonde either."

	"All the women in my family are blonde you--" she wanted something mean to call him, but not too mean. "Dick!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He looked down. His dick was still in his pants. He stared at her wildly, trying to process what she was saying. Adrian didn't understand that insult. "What?!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybell 2009-07-20 04:23 am UTC (link)
	"You are a Dick. No, a prick. You don't even get to be a normal sized one. You're a prick!" Katie kicked the overturned bed and threw her hands up in the air before stomping out of the On Call Room. She was going to hunt down some coffee and complain to someone about Adrian. She was too worked up now to sleep a wink. (Reply to this) (Parent)
