At the Perk: Monday after work (5ish PM)

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

After leaving Orlin a phone message, Agatha took the muffins Blair gave her and went to the Perk. After ordering a nice cup of Earl Gray tea form the NPC waiter, she sat down in a corner and sipper jer tea, ate some muffins, and waited to see if Orlin would show up.

Orlin strolled up, trying to look casual.

"Hey Clay," he said cautiously as he sat down.

What does she know? he asked himself.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

Agatha smiled widely when she saw him. Yay, he descided to join her, yay.

She offered him a muffin. "Look what Blair gave me!"

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Maybe she wasn't mad..?

"Thanks Clay." he said taking the muffin from her. Maybe he could avoid the whole thing.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"I never knew people would giv eme muffins for sellign them things." SHe was clearly amused by this.

"It was a lovely party by the way, sorry i had to leave early. I meant to ask, was that guy, Camulus, really insane?" She looked truly concerned for the well being of a possibly-insane person.

"Did you have a fun weekend? I've been so busy i didn't even notice the weekend happened."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin might have flinched, but you had to look very closely.

"No, and yes." He answered, hopefully he wouldn't have to elaborate.

"Muffins with chocolate are always a good form of payment." Orlin continued, smiling slightly.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

AGatha was of course lookign closely. Thus she noticed the flinch. And thus she raised a questioning eyebrow.

"He is not insane? Then why does he think he is a god who wil lrule the world?"

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

And now Orlin had to talk about Camulus.

"Er, he used to be a god, in fact, the Celtic God of War. Well, more like he pretended to be the Celt's God way back when. But then well, badness happened and he had to leave Earth. He's kind of touchy about it though."

Maybe he was home free now.

"I...see?" She was unsure if she really saw. "He was the person they based their myths on?" That seemed to make marginally more sense.

She tilted her head in that adorable way she did, and descide to maybe change the subject. "So wht di dyou do this weekend that was so fun?"

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Yes, they based their myths on him and what he did." He mentally got up and ran away from the table.

"Oh, you know, stuff." Like slept with, no, no can't think about that, it never happened.
"Had some chocolate, watched some movies, hung out with the neighbors, nursed a hangover and a mushy heart" He shrugged. "You know, the usua

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, did you watch anythign good movie-wise?" No really, Agatha had no clue with which to be mean to him, she really just wanted to know.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Well I was watching this horrible movie called Dawn of the Living Dead 3, but I wasn't really into it and I left early." In no way was he going to say why he wasn't into the movie and who he had left with. Unless he had to, and even then, it would be questionable.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Oh, was it bad or something? Or just scary?" She had heard it was a scary sort of film.

"You should have come by, i was working on this completly awesome tool thing for Blair."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Blair who gave you the muffins?" Orlin asked.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Yup. It was this awesoem small foldign tool that had a hammer, and screwdrivers, and wrenches, and tweezers, and pliers, and toothbrush, and all sorts of other things that all fold inside." She noticed that he didn't actually answer hte question about the movie.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"It sounds very useful." Orlin said. He noticed the questioning look in her eyes and smiled. "The movie was a bit scary and was not done very well." He explained, finally answereing the last question.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"I hope it willbe. He wanted it as a present for someone." She thougth for a moment. "You know, i came here to do repairs, but i seem to mostly be buildign things for people. NOt that i mind" She smiled. She liked building things.

"Too bad about the movie. There have to be better ones, right?"

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin doubted anything could top that particular movie, but said nothing. Instead he smiled and nodded, "There must be." He confirmed, smiling, much more relaxed now.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Well, we should find one." Agatha had at some point descided that really she needed to go o nanother date with Orlin. But beign a girl, she was TOTALLY not goignto tell him that. Not directly anyway.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Sounds like a plan then." Orlin also wanted to go on another date with Clay. But first, "Er, you heard the radio forcast the day after the party right?" He asked, nonchalantly. He hadn't heard today's, so he wasn't going to go there.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

Agatha blinked. There was a plan? "You know, plans have concrete information i nthem, like who, what, where and when." She smiled. She was just teasing really.

Radio broadcast? Hmm, did i? Oh yes.. OH

"Erm... yes, why?" She was pretty bad at being nonchalant, really. So he could tell that not only had she heard it, she probably thought about it a whole lot since.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Phoebe drank to much so she took my bed, Camulus and I cleaned up a bit and passed out on the couch." Orlin explained quickly, "I just didn't want you to think anything had happened is all." That night at least.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

Agatah almost visably relaxed. not that she had ever even for the tiniest moemnt thought anythign bad. Not even a tiny bit. No way. except maybe a teensy bit

"That was roughly what i thought occured in fact." Not really knowing what else to do she smiled, and ate another muffin.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin grinned and took a bite out of his muffin.

"Good, I'm glad."

He was in soooo much trouble.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

He so totally was, but luckly Agatha had NO CLUE. Thus she jsut smiled, ate the muffin and thought how cute he looked. And change the subject again. She had dingbots on her mind.

"You know, i've been wondering. All my little bots look differnt. But still kind of similar. Maybe i should get someone to design a mroe uniform look for them. I make them, but makignthem pretty has never really been a priority..."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Who do you have in mind?" Orlin asked, smiling as he held her hand and stroked it with his thumb. This was... nice.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Not sure. But i think more peopel would want to get them if they were cute, you know? AMybe they need little bows on them or something." She really had no idea what she was talking about, and the fact that he was stroking her hand was not helping.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Maybe if you made the bots and then had a skin that went over them, like some sort of plastic that were different colors and patterns." Orlin suggested, still stroking her hand and looking her in the eyes.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Hmm... maybe. I am not so good with plastics, want to help?" Her fingers entertwined with his as if of their own free will, as she dreamily looked back intohis eyes.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"I would love to." Orlin replied, smiling lazily.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

"Excelent." If nothign else, they would have a project to work on together.

She looked at her nwo empty cup of tea. "You know what? We should go for a walk in the park. Before it starts snowing again."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"I think that sounds fabulous," Orlin says, agreeably. And hopefully, he won't see you know who there.

He stood up and offered his hand to the still sitting Clay.

[heterodine.livejournal.com]

She took his hand and stood up. Agatha smiled as they walked outside.
