*CJ walks in and waves at Shane. She has a book with her*

Shane, can I get the casserole, and a cup of coffee? I have got to get this reading done, and I'm starving.




((ooc: and with that, mun will be gone for about 3 hours))

"Hey, CJ! Yeah, sure you can," Shane says, smiling as she waves at her. She writes her order down, yelling to the cook in the kitchen for a regular dinner. Once that's done, she grabs the coffee decanter, follows CJ over to her table and places a clean cup down, filling it with coffee for her. "I can't thank you enough for introducing me to your friend," she murmurs.



(OOC! All righty! :D))

I'm so sorry I had to leave...I had to get this book and it was getting late. I knew I'd forget. Did you get what you were looking for?

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no problem," she shakes her head. "And yeah, he really did help. He gave me a whole lot more to go on than we had before."

[prof-cregg.livejournal.com]

Good.8 She reaches out and holds Shanes hand* I'm glad I could get you two together.

[The Doctor wanders in, having gotten a text from CJ about having dinner. He scans the menu board.]

As promised, Geoff shows up early for work at the Dive. He greets Shane with a kiss on the cheek, flashes a charming smile at the attractive customer, and heads straight into the kitchen to get started.


[OOC: Mun will be rather in and out, so the timing on responses may be somewhat spastic.]

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane pauses in pouring CJ's coffee to watch as Geoff breezes in, smirking at the kiss on her cheek and turning to watch him as he heads back the kitchen.

After a little while, Geoff emerges from the kitchen clad in his apron. "Another quiet night, is it?" he says, stopping next to Shane.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Looking up from the current task she'd assigned herself (refilling sugar jars), Shane glances around and sighs. "Yeah," she says. "I talked to Angela from Championship Vinyl today and she said she'd be by. Didn't say when or what night."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff grins as he pitches in on the sugar jars. "Good, I like Angela! She's very sweet. I'd like the chance to talk to her again."

[[ooc: sorry. It was a great concert, one we'd been plannig since June]]

[[ooc: no prob. I was headed for bed. We saw Skinny White Chick. http://www.skinnywhitechick.com local folk singer who is going national in gay and pagan circles]]

Heading through the kitchens, Shane opens the back door and steps outside. She presses a cigarette between her lips and lights it, pacing back and forth like a caged animal as she stares at the asphalt beneath her boots. She takes a long drag on her cigarette and the tight circles of her pacing seem to loosen a little, but only a little. After a moment more, she stops and turns to look at Geoff.

"You know how... before, we were talking about... you being from the 1300s and... and how you were starting to feel like you fit in here?" She asks.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff leans against the wall next to the kitchen door and watches Shane pace. "Yes. Well, maybe not 'fit in', exactly. More like...that no one cares if I don't fit in, but they're all happy to help me try."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Nodding absently, Shane takes another drag off of her cigarette. She starts to pace again, but then stops again. "I just..." She lets out a weak huff of laughter, a cloud of smoke surrounding her as she laughs. "I just realized, just now... it's been... it's been three years since I've even been to school."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Geoff holds out his hands, grinning. "Hey, it's been six centuries for me."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane looks over at him and laughs, but her eyes are suspiciously bright with tears. She stands there for a moment, biting her bottom lip. "I'm scared," she says softly, her tone very matter-of-fact, though her voice breaks as she speaks the words.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Laughing quietly, Geoff says, "Well, if it were me...all right, obviously I'd mope and get drunk. But afterwards, I'd compose something for her, something that really displayed my feelings. Then I'd find where she lived, and I'd shout the poem at her window until she was so embarrassed that she broke down and let me in. Then I'd tell her that I loved her, and that I was willing to stay away forever, but only if she swore that there was no way she could ever love me back."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"That sounds... really great," Shane says softly, a slightly wistful lilt to her words. "But... I don't know how to write," she added sadly after a moment. "Most of the time I can barely talk."

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

"Hmm. You know what would be really great? If you knew someone who was very good at writing. Someone, oh, who was legendary for his writing. I wonder where we could find someone like that."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane breathed out a laugh and gave the lapel of his jacket a gentle, playful tug. "Are you legendary for your reading, too? 'Cause I don't know that I can talk like a 13 century English guy," she asks, chuckling.

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Grinning down at her, Geoff responds, "Actually, yes, I am. Would you like me to serenade her for you?" Behind the grin, Shane can see that his offer is serious.
