Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed... Who: Lita Singh and Demi Rafferty. Where: Demi and Issac's swanky abode, the Capitol. What: Lady friends on a dinner date . When: Backdated - Saturday, August 15th, 2018 - dinnertime-ish, after this and this. Warnings: Snark, bonding, and the objectification of guy's butts.
...when silly thoughts go through my head about the bugs and alphabet and when I wake tomorrow I'll bet that you and I will walk together again I can tell that we are gonna be friends
No explosions or alarms had gone off when Lita had presented her I.D. card at Capitol security so she had that going for her. Once out of sight of the uniformed patrolmen, Lita breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't sure what she had expected. For them to run her card and a laundry lists of offenses to pop up on their little computer screens? To be dragged off to La Quinta for conspiring with independent shelters and consorting with shady raiders? Whether or not she was on the Capitol's radar for whatever transgressions she may or may not have committed she did not know but it seemed that, for now, she was safe.
She'd been told where she could find Demi's place but as she traveled the warren of hallways in the Capitol, Lita couldn't help but be struck by how different and opulent things seemed here in comparison to the hospital. At the UMCB, the common areas such as the waiting rooms were practically teeming with the frightened and unwashed masses while the hallways boasted more Capitol security guards then she'd seen actually at the damn Capitol. There were men wearing ties and women wearing sundresses here, for Pete's sake. In another life, she would have felt right at home but things don't always turn out the way you'd expect them to. In comparison to the Stepford denizens of the government building, Lita felt decidedly dressed down but if she knew Demi at all, the young woman would prefer a more casual dinner companion.
Lita knocked on Demi's door, a bottle of the UMCB kitchen's finest "wine" in hand. The quicker she got out of the open and into the relative safety of Demi's apartment, the better.
