The Tiberius J. Swann Education Facility

Who: Karaoke peoples!
When: Friday, later in the evening AFTER DRESS REHEARSAL.
Where: The bar Astrid and Keagan's karaoke party is at.
What: THE MUSHIEST MOST AWESOME THREAD EVER IN THE CREATION OF THREADS. WHAT.

"Hey, everybody," Astrid giggled as she sidled up to the mic, tapping it for everyone's attention. She was a little tipsy. Okay, no, way more than tipsy, but she'd been doing a really good job of being social over the last hour since karaoke had started. The thing had started while Duncan still had his kids in dress rehearsal, so imagine her surprise when he showed and Adora hadn't seen him yet. "So, okay, next up..." She giggled a little more, as if to a secret only she knew. "We have my favorite Il Profesore to siiiing. Mister Boyaaard..." She said with flare as she moved off the stage and went to go plop down in the first seat she could find, which was next to Summer.

Who:Duncan and Emma
When: Thursday Afternoon
Where: outdoors ... somewhere.
What: A meeting!

( Emma loved the sunshine. )

Who: Duncan and Adora
When: Sunday Afternoon
Where: Duncan's Apartment
What: Adora finally comes clean about lying about dating Keagan and it doesn't go well


( .... The drama... )

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Starting on-campus, then moving off
When: Friday night
What: Adora and Duncan attempt a friend hang-out slash non-date

( This is so awkward. )

Who: Duncan and Elle
Where: His Room
When: Insanely late Monday (actually Tuesday morning, 1am)
What: Elle hears drunken singing.

The sound of bottles clinking together interrupted the solitary twangs of a tuning guitar from the half-demon's apartment. Drinking to the point of being completely intoxicated had become an expensive activity for him. After a few centuries, one built up an impressive tolerance. Music had been draining out from under his doorway for a few hours now. As the time passed, and the drunker he became, the less he became aware of his ascending volume. Occasionally he sang, bits and pieces of songs he wouldn't remember later. Some of them were his own, but he honestly had no idea.

( Drinking was useful, because it shed an interesting, foggy sort of light on topics you wouldn't have otherwise thought about. )

Who: Duncan, Adora, Keagan
Where: Adora's apt
When: late evening, 10pm or so
What: Duncan is being spontaneous, and it totaaally bites him in the ass!

Duncan was worried about Keagan. Poor lad. He really had liked Astrid, and now his lie had blown up in his face. He was too nice to tell Adora 'told you so,' so when the succubus had tried to blame herself via text msg he'd passed by the notion and moved on to more important topics.

It had been a few hours, though, and he hadn't heard from her. Had she been able to get in contact with him? He had contemplated calling Keagan himself, but that would go against his own advice of letting Keagan wallow for a little while before people dumped pity all over him. It was necessary, sometimes, to wallow a little before attempting to correct a situation.

( Wallowing was a good idea, sometimes. )

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Adora's apt
When: Thursday evening
What: Duncan reveals last two days' work to his bff.

Duncan had only told Adora that he had something to show her in her old apartment. It was a pretty bad set up to his surprise, but he really could not think of one better. The truth of the matter was .. he was nervous. He didn't know if Adora would like what he had done. If the painted walls, new countertop tiling, and new bathroom accessories were going to hurt rather than help, he wasn't sure what he would do.

"It's not much," he said, waiting for her to use her keys. Now that he had told her where they were going, he hadn't needed to sneak it off her own keyring.

Who: Duncan & Adora
When: Evening
Where: Duncan's apt
What: Adora's being a male-rooster tease.


Duncan felt like a sixteen year old. Considering he was actually 377, that was some feat. They had already watched two atrocious horror films, and were just about a quarter of an hour into their third when Adora's fingers began stroking Duncan's thigh. He had been in this situation before. Granted, never with a succubus who looked at him as a #3 without the cheese, but still, same situation. As her fingernails rasped against the inside of his leg he began going through possible outcomes. It was something Duncan did, when in any nerve wracking situations. His brain calculated available maneuvers, possible outcomes, and consequences.

He could ask Adora if she really wanted to do this. Ideally, this seemed like a good idea. An unsuspecting man with a sweet temperament and less experience would do so, not knowing that Adora could easily respond with:

a) Why? Do YOU not want to? I'm not attractive anymore, I knew it!
b) Yes.. well, I thought I did, but now that you ask should I not? Am I wrong for wanting to? NOW I DON'T WANT TO.
c) Yes, I do ---

-- and then, at perhaps the worst possible time ever, decide no, in fact, she did not really want to do this.

As Duncan grew hard in his jeans, he realized C was probably an outcome available whether he said anything or not.

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Adora's Apartment
When: Monday evening
What: Adora goes to clean up her apartment to a nice surprise

Adora's first day back at work had been... eventful to say the least. If it wasn't the fact that Ric's office had been broken into and now needed new supplies, it was the fact that teachers had been deciding to order supplies without telling her and now the budget was all messed up and needed fixing. And then, of course, this was Adora, who wanted to get back to business as usual and that meant flirting with people she had no desire being around and just being her normal witty self.

It just sounded a lot easier than it felt. The fact was, flirting with people had been... really draining. Well, not entirely true. Flirting with Duncan had wound up being easy and unexpected. IT was a little unfair, though, considering she was hungry, SO hungry, but didn't quite know what to do about it. She didn't quite feel up to eating and... so it had been an exhausting day.

So, by the time she'd actually gotten to her apartment, Adora wasn't even sure she really wanted to clean anymore. She kind of just wanted to curl up with some pizza and watch a movie with Duncan and... oh Judas Priest, had that actually crossed her mind? When she got to her apartment, though, she realized her door was unlocked and stepped in. Wait, had he beaten her here?

"Hellooo?"

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Duncan's apt
When: Monday evening
What: Adora "renovated" her apt.

Duncan was vacuuming when Adora returned from her mystery errand. He had barely heard the door. He killed the power when he heard the second knock to yell "OPEN!" and then unplugged the vacuum and rolled it into the other room.

"Are you hungry?" he called from the other room. His footsteps grew louder as he approached and popped back into his living room. He saw her then, for the first time.

"....Oh."

( ... )

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: The Infirmary, then Duncan's place
When: Sunday, late morning
What: Adora gets released from the Infirmary now

Who: Keagan and Jang-Geum
Where: The Infirmary
When: After dinner time.
What: Jang-Geum and Keagan find out why Adora had a miscarriage.

After leaving the infirmary with Astrid earlier, he took her to her room. He made sure she was cleaned, in pajamas, and had food to eat in case she did get hungry later. He sat with her and let her cry until she cried herself to sleep. He very gently laid her down and laid a blanket over her. He wrote her a quick note explaining he'd gone to check on Adora and headed back to the Infirmary.

He was not looking forward to anything that was about to happen. Yes, he had sat in with a number of autopsies over the years, but they were far different. They were also in the 15th and 16th century, and for the sake of discovery rather than... this. There was a bit of a detach when you didn't know the corpse. Keagan let out a deep breath before heading into the Infirmary.

He looked around for Jang-Geum, passing by the room where Adora and Duncan were. Adora was alseep and Duncan looked like he was either asleep or in deep thought sitting beside her, so he decided to let them be. He found Jang-Geum collecting tools in another room. "I'm here to help with the autopsy..."

Who: Adora, Astrid and Fox, then Jang-Geum, Duncan and Keagan
Where: Adora's desk, then to the Infirmary
When: Around 12 on Thursday
What: Adora realizes there's something wrong with the baby, but Astrid can't get her to the Infirmary on her own

Who: Duncan, Adora and Jang-Geum

What: Gossip, mayhem, all sorts of craziness ensues

( Talk about a heated discussion. )

Who: Duncan & Adora
Where: Adora's apt
When: Laaaaaaaate
What: A slightly tipsy Duncan visits his best pal, Adoring Adora
Rating: /).(\ !



( Sleepovers are fun! )

Who: Duncan and Adora
When: Tuesday afternoon
Where: Adora's car, then they're out at an Ikea or something
What: Duncan randomly steals Adora away to go buy a bed. And... domestic squabbles will ensue.

Adora snickered as she watched Duncan's last text ping her phone,  and she rolled her eyes, moving to shut down her computer for the day. It had been hellaciously slow, to the point where Adora had just about had enough anyway. If Duncan hadn't offered her a distraction, she would have simply left at 2 anyway and gone home to work on something. Or talk to Keagan. Hm, she wondered what he was up to in the first place. Masquerading as a student had to be a complete pain in the ass, too.

Standing, Adora grabbed her purse and her jacket, then looked through her purse to make sure her car keys were with her. Which, they were. "Okay, Hope, I'm heading out early, I'll see you tomorrow." Adora quickly said, not so much asking but telling Hope, as she figured the woman wouldn't mind, given how slow it was all around.

Stepping out of the office into the main hallway, Adora leaned against the wall to wait for Duncan, not really trying to be impatient, but... hey, the idea of going and fetching him a new bed was... pretty hilarious for her.

Who: Duncan, Adora and Keagan
When: Sunday morning, March 9th, 2008
Where: The spare art room
What: Duncan and Adora hold Keagan for "detention" simply so he'll come clean about his age.

((OOC: And that's it! Feel free to pop in with anything!))

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Duncan's Apartment
When: Wednesday night after Art Tutoring
What: Adora is testing Duncan's cooking skills, and something about chocolate for dessert!

At about 7:30 PM, Adora had finished wrapping up and cleaning up the art room she and the students used for their tutoring sessions and had tossed the two pieces of pizza leftover that hardly looked appealing to Adora. That, and she knew she was supposed to be eating dinner at Duncan's place, and actual food sounded much more appealing than greasy pizza. That being said, once she turned off the lights and closed up the art room for the night, Adora headed out to the outdoors, walking towards the staff buildings.

Duncan had given her a call and she'd told him that 7:30ish would be fine, so she knew she didn't want to keep the poor guy waiting. Although, she had yet to test his cooking, so she knew she should be a little worried. It was entirely possible he couldn't cook. He had a point, though, he wouldn't invite her over if he was lying.

Judas Priest, it was fucking cold! Adora booked it across the campus, glad she was only wearing 2 inch heels, as she was used to running and jogging in those. Of course, y'know, it had to rain, so by the time she was knocking on Duncan's door, her hair was covered in little droplets of rain water from the misting outside. 

By the time the door was opened, Adora was breathing into her hands, surprised at how cold she was. Freakin' hormones.

Who: Duncan and Adora
Where: Adora's Apartment
When: Sunday, March 2nd, 2008
What: Duncan and Adora have some relaxed conversation

"Haaa..." Adora sighed as she moved from being on top of Duncan to flopping down beside him on her bed, panting quite happily, covered in sweat and flushed quite nicely. Oh, she felt good. She felt better than good. She felt... satisfied and was still shivering and feeling a little weak at the knees. She had needed that. After a whole week of waiting for another chance to be with Duncan, it had certainly been worth it. It had certainly paid off, and now she was full and happy and had even gotten some new sounds out of him that time.

"That was good." Adora purred, simply staring at the ceiling as she took the chance to recuperate. "I got new noises out of you this time," She remarked with a smug expression, chuckling. "I... win."

Reaching up to run a hand through her hair, it was nice to just relax and not feel like she was going to crawl out of her skin. She could sit like this all day. Not that she would, but she could. "Thank you for coming to the rescue."
