The Fourth Sin, Tuesday Night

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

Jarod was behind the desk, looking up new torture learning techniques for his workshop while he upgraded the Sin's computer security and added a new encryption program. He may have raised an eyebrow or two over some of Goldie's more, er, exotic purchases, but in general it was going to be a quiet night.

Until a news article from Atlanta caught his eye. Jarod frowned. He'd have to see how that scenario played out.

There was a six pack of her favorite beer in the fridge for Becky and a fresh lemon meringue pie for Miho. Not that he had to discuss something with them or anything.

[ooc: The Sin is open for anyone who wants to drop by.]

Miho came out of the kitchen with a fresh slice of pie, which she was assuming was for her, and perched on the edge of the reception desk, looking notably cheered up after an afternoon of battling the Danger Shop's remote.

"//Good evening, Miho. Did you have a good class?//"

[deadly_little]

In reply, Miho scowled and stabbed at the pie with her fork.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

He winced. "//Maybe it will get better?//"

[deadly_little]

Miho seriously doubted that. Technology hated her. She suddenly seemed to realize that she'd turned her nice slice of pie into a lemony mess. Well. This was just perfect, wasn't it?

She supposed it would still taste nice.

"//I'd like to talk to you about something, Miho, if that's okay?//" Jarod took a deep breath of anticipation and prepared to duck under the counter.

Miho turned her attention to him and waited. She wondered why he looked so tense. Did he want a raise?

After last night's conversations with Parker and Walter about the Sex Ed class, Seras, overcome by masochism curiosity, decided to pay a visit to The Fourth Sin.

Screwing up her courage, she opened the door and stepped in.

"Good even..." Jarod looked up automatically from the computer, then broke off. "Are you sure you're in the right place?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"I think so. I'm um...I'm at the Fourth Sin, right?"

Seras tried bravely to supress a blush. Chances were, she'd have to visit places like this when she was a cop, and it would be best to be able to do so with a face that wasn't tomato red.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Jarod said slowly. "This is the Fourth Sin. Was there something you wanted?"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded and took a deep breath.

"Yes. There was a sort of handwavey glitch in the school's office and I ended up enrolled in the Sex Ed course. I've been told that the woman teaching it works here."

There. No stuttering. However, concentrating on not stuttering had taken Seras' focus away from not blushing.

"Yes, she does. I'm not sure she's around, though." Jarod didn't remark on the blush, because he was a gentleman like that. Usually.

Jack's walk to the Sin had taken rather longer than it should have. Last night he'd thought telling Jarod his story was a good idea; today, he wasn't so sure, but his feet at least seemed to be having second thoughts.

He opened the door and walked in, glancing around the place, intrigued despite his reluctance, wondering what a brothel in Fandom might have to offer.

"Jack," Jarod wasn't in such a great mood, either. Miho had taken that harder than he'd expected.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"You okay?" Jack tipped his head, studying him. "You look a little...disturbed."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm fine," Jarod waved that off. "Just...women are much more difficult to predict than men."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Not always, but yeah, they tend to be a lot more complicated." Jack leaned on the counter. "Parker? Or someone else?"

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Miho," he said, looking at the remains of her pie. "She didn't take the news I had to give her very well."

Sawyer knew Jarod worked here too, so he made his way over to the Fourth Sin to say hey to his new favorite teacher. "'Sup teach." He smirked.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Evening, Sawyer," Jarod said from behind the desk. "What can I do for you?"

[conathon.livejournal.com]

"I just wanted to drop by and say your workshop was my favorite." Because, really, what other class would a con man like ? Besides Sex Ed.

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," he smiled at Sawyer. "Hopefully you'll find continue to find it useful."

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Sawyer nodded. "Ofcourse, it can be very useful to a guy like me." Pausing. "Well, the guy I was before I came here."

[jarodpretends.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Jarod smirked, amused.
