The Fourth Sin--Tuesday--OPEN

Jarod sat behind the desk, staring off into space as he tried to work out the change in his relationship with Parker. It wasn't going well.

Carrying a notebook under one arm, Callisto wandered into the Sin.

"Good evening, welcome to the Fourth Sin. May I help you?"

"Hopefully," Callisto said. "I'm looking for the ninja."

"I haven't seen her yet this evening," Jarod said, "but that's not unusual. I don't usually see her unless she wants to be seen. Ninja, you know."

"Oh, I know about ninjas," Callisto nodded. "You mind if I stick around here until she does choose to be seen?"

"No, feel free to hang out in the lobby. Want something to drink?"

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure, hang on." He went to the kitchen and returned with a mug of coffee, some creamers and packets of sugar, and a spoon. "I'm Jarod, by the way."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Callisto," she sipped her coffee. "I can see why she likes you."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Parker," Callisto clarified. "Unless there's another Jarod running around in Fandom."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
"What is she telling people?" Jarod asked. "And I think I'm the only one. But she and I have been friends for years. The radio woman must have misunderstood what she overheard."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not so much what's she's telling people," Callisto replied. "For instance after when we were talking about that little thing with Darla at Caritas, she seemed concerned about you, I pointed this out and instead of simply saying you were old friends, she immediately started flailing and denying anythind and everything."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"That doesn't make sense," Jarod frowned, "Parker's usually completely together and unemotional in front of other people. I'm sure it was just concern for a friend."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I've seen her concerned for a friend before. When Rory and Logan got attacked by Angelus..." Callisto shook her head. "She was pretty much on top of it all despite everything and they nearly died. But mention your name, and well, flail city."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
He considered that. "Huh. If she thought I could take care of myself, I'd actually be flattered. Now it just sounds like I'm her mentally impaired older brother."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, it wasn't that kind of flailing," Callisto grinned. "Trust me, I know flailing, and it was serious, deeply in denial flailing, not boy's an idiot flailing."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
"So what do I do?" Jarod asked, completely clueless about how to proceed and willing to take advice from a perfect stranger. "Before you answer, you should know that she's barely speaking to me at the moment."

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"In which case you'll probably need to make some sort of gesture of apology," Callisto decided not to mention she was hardly the right person to be asking relationship advice from. "Prada. That would be a good start."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
"A gesture..." The wheels in jarod's head began turning. "She does need new boots..." He was angry with her as well, but figured she'd hold a grudge longer.

[identity profile] psycho-barbie.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, Prada stopped her from trying to kill me for using her first name, so at the very least it'll buy you enough time to duck the bullets if need be."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
"You used her first name?" Jarod still couldn't believe she'd told people without being under torture. "Even I don't do that. And she wouldn't shoot at me. I don't think."

Quark, after a nice quiet drink at Caritas, has come to the fourth sin, a small package under his arm. He walks in the front door and smiles, waiting to be serviced omg, not in that way, like in the 'waits for someone to come ask him what he wants' way.

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Jarod smiled. "Good evening, sir. What can we do for you this evening?"

[identity profile] landlord-quark.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"I have a delivery for the propietors, actually." Quark holds out the wrapped package, which contains a copy of the book Oo-mox for Fun and Profit. "Tonight isn't a business call, I'm sad to say."

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
"That's too bad," Jarod replied, "but I can sign for the package, if you'd like."

[identity profile] landlord-quark.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
"No need, it's a personal delivery. Just make sure they get it, would you?" Quark smiles and hands it over.

[identity profile] jarodpretends.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Jarod accepted the package and nodded. "Yes, sir. I'll make sure they do."

[identity profile] landlord-quark.livejournal.com 2006-02-01 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you, my good man." Quark gives a slight bow and leaves.
