Fandom Post Office: Wednesday 14/3

First day on the job, Annette was feeling a little perky. Actually it is her first day of working ever in her entire life. It was kind of neat. Moist had already come and gone, ~~handwavily~~ showing her the ropes. She met Gladys and didn't really care to do that again. A seven foot mountain of hard clay with glowing eyes was not something she cared to run into every day. Or every minute.

She was currently standing at the counter when her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, sweetheart."

"Can't talk now, mom. I'm working."

"What did you say?"

"Um, nothing. I'm in class. We are at the post office learning about the sorting machine and how it works. Very educational."

" ..."

"Sorry, mom..." Annette banged her phone against the counter. "The machine! I think it's going to blow!! I'll call back later if I die! Got to go, love you!"

Annette hung up and smiled and started to decorate the counter. She put out two jars of free suckers, and set up a slender vase of pretty sping flowers.

The Post Office is open.

(ooc: ~~please wait for ocd~~. yes. do it. wait I say!)

That's right. Annette will be back after her 1st period class. Go back to bed you crazy people.

She's here and ready to help with all your postal, and maybe not so postal, needs!

Dick had received Annette's message and was at the post office before his Hunting class started.

"Hey gorgeous-ooh! Lollypops!" Dick clearly hadn't had breakfast yet.

She grinned wide when she saw Dick. I mean, how could you not?

"Hi, sweetie-ooh! I know! I brought them in with me this morning. Take as many as you want."

(SP is always love. *kicks class for you! and shakes fist* Dick is mine, er, Annette's I tell you!)

Dick grinned and picked out a red one (all other colors were inferior). He looked around the post office. He wasn't about to admit he's never been in one. But he's never been in one.

"Nice. Being in here makes me want to put stamps on things. You like it so far?"

Annette looked around and shrugged a little. "I don't know. I've never worked before. Not exactly sure what I'm doing."

She leaned towards him and lowered her voice. "There's Gladys in the back. She scares the crap out of me even though I think she might be friendly."

"Yeah, I've never worked before either." said Dick. He also added that he never wants to in his head. "You at least look like you know what you're doing, which is half the battle. Or so my Dad says."

"Gladys, huh? What is she like old librarian scary or psychopathic goth girl scary?"

"Do I?" That pleased her 'cause she sort of tried to dress up today and look professional. Not that she would ever choose to work for real. "I think Moist likes me. He just came out and asked me if I wanted to work here one day a week. Kind of weird, uh?"

She shook her head and made a face. "She's made of hard clay and has these glowing eyes. She's also seven feet tall which literally scares the crap out me."

"The dude's name is Moist, I'd expect some weirdness coming from him." he said. "Working one day a week is cool. If you had a full-time job then you wouldn't be able to spend time with me. Which would make me sad."

"Um, okay, that's just freaking scary." said Dick. "I'm staying away from her."

"Yes, but not Mr. Moist. I have to call him Moist or Mr. Lipwig." She grinned. "Aww, I would never have a full-time job if it kept me away from you. That would make me sad too. Come to think of it, I would never have a full-time job anyway."

She nodded. "That would be your best bet. I'm staying away from her too." Annette picked out a red lollypop, pulled the wrapper off, and stuck it in her mouth.

"What's up tonight? Any plans?"

"Yeah, I don't think the full-time job thing is in my near future." said Dick, wrinkling up his nose. "I don't need anything to distract me from my oh-so-important studies."

He was momentarily distracted by Annette's lollypop for a second and didn't process her question. "Uh...no, not doing anything tonight other tham going to the frat meeting. Hey, isn't your birthday soon?"

"Same here." She was a very studious girl. Yep.

She grinned and rolled her sucker around for a second or two, not thinking about his momentary distraction. Then she popped it out and answered, "Tomorrow as a matter of fact."

"Got anything planned?" he asked, trying hard to look at her eyes and not at her mouth.

"Ummm, well, I have a date tomorrow for brunch, at The Perk." She put her sucker back in and closed her lips around it, wondering what Dick thought of that. 'Course, it wasn't really a date date. At least she didn't think so.

Dick pouted. "A date tomorrow, huh? Who with?" He asked out of curiosity, of course. Not jealousy or anything.

"Henry. Coffee and muffins." His pout was so cute. "He wants me to wear black leather for some reason or other." She said, waving her sucker around before she stuck it back in her mouth. Of course that was a lie. Well, not really. She was just teasing Dick. He might could tell that if he looked at her carefully.

Dick laughed because he had seen Henry and unless he was quite mistaken, Henry wasn't the leather fetish type of guy. "Leather? In the morning? Come on, you'll have to do better than that."

She smiled and gave him a look, "You're right. I can't get anything past you can I? You are learning me so well, Dick." She lowered her eyes a moment. "It's me. I am choosing to wear leather."

She grinned. "It's Henry that wants to come in my room though when he comes to pick me up at eleven tomorrow." Henry didn't actually say that, but...

"Do you even own leather?" he asked. He kind of hoped she did.

Dick smiled. "You get too much pleasure out of teasing me."

She leaned her elbow on the counter, twirling her lollypop. "I might."

"Who said anything about teasing, Dick?" Annette smiled and feigned innocence."

"Oh, hey, did I tell you I'm going on a field trip this weekend? I can't remember if I told you or not."

"Leather-wearing tease, that's what you are." he said, grinning. "It's ok, I like it though."

"Field trip! Where to? Is it somewhere cool?" he asked. Field trips were the best part of school.

Annette might make sure to get her hands on some leather sometime in the future.

"New York City. And yeah, it's cool. It's way cool." She smiled with a little sneaky glint in her eye. "Two classes are going and we're going to have some sneaky time fun." Which totally reminded her she had to meet Leo in the park tonight! He was bringing brownies and they were going to hunt for ghosts! Crap, she almost forgot!

"Sneaky time fun, huh? Sounds sneaky and fun." he said. "I want to go on a field trip. I like making trouble in new and exciting places."

"That's what we're going to do. Wanna hide in my suitcase?" She asked.

Dick laughed. "I'll pass on the suitcase sneaking for now. Just make enough trouble for the both of us. Without getting put in jail."

"I've never been in jail before. I wonder what it is like?" She asked in all seriousness.

"Ooh! I might get really drunk and stuff and have a few words with the sheriff."

"The beds in jail suck. That's all I can really remember from my experience." he said. "And you might want to think twice before trying to have words with the N.Y.P.D."

"But if you ever come to Neptune you're welcome to have all the words you want with our sheriff." said Dick, nodding. "Because he's a massive tool."

She twisted her lips. "Dick, you're dashing all my hot laid plans here."

Grinning, "Well, take me there and I will."

"I'm just looking out for you." he said, smirking. "I'd to have to visit you in jail and talk through that plate glass window."

He grinned again. "Well, I am going back there in June for my dad's wedding..."

"They don't have bar thingys?" Annette was totally lost on the jail thing. "And thanks, Dick. For looking out for me." She smiled.

"Oh?" She wasn't going to invite herself. How rude.

"So, you think you might go to the park tonight?" Yes, Annette knew how to change topics. She sure did!

"Yep, to a devil-woman but that's neither a here or a there." he said offhandedly. "If you aren't doing anything then you can come with. There's alcohol at weddings, you can get trashed and make fun of the sheriff."

Of course Dick wasn't thinking about how Madison would be there. And how much of a big no-no that would be. It'll hit him later on.

"What's happening in the park?" he asked. "No more merpeople fights, right?"

Annette blinked. She was lost on that devil-woman stuff. Really. No clue. "I've never been trashed before." She narrowed her eyes. "Have I?" Hmm.

"Oh, nothing. Just thought you might enjoy the park tonight." Annette whistled innocently and flung her lollypop over her head, listening for it to hit something.

"Oh, what was the other night during our girly sleepover?" he said. "I believe you were drunk, going on trashed."

Dick followed the lollypop with his eyes and laughed. "Well now that you're being so mysterious I'm going to have to check it out."

"There is a difference?" She said, surprised.

"I didn't want it anymore." Annette explained about the sucker. She didn't know that somewhere back there, Glady's caught that lollypop and stuck it in her mouth.

"Only if you want some fresh air or something. You know. Later. If you're bored or something." She shrugged a little shoulder and pretended to stack sheets of stamps that were already stacked and neat.

Dick shrugged. "I usually don't use the word trashed until you can't stand up and you're just sitting on the couch, hoping someone is nice enough to bring you another drink."

"I might be bored later. And if I am, I'll be sure to go to the park."

"I see." Annette wondered if someone could get trashed by themselves? You know. For experimental purposes only.

"Okay." She looked over at him. "I'm glad you stopped by today."

"I had fun. And got a free lollypop, which is always a plus." he said, grinning. "Keep Gladys away from me and I'll stop by next week."

She smiled warmly, "Take one with you when you leave. You can have it later and think of me. And no worries about Gladys; if you come in when I'm here, she pretty much stays back there." Annette hiked her thumb behind her shoulder.

"So maybe I'll see you later." She said, still smiling.

Dick picked a purple one this time. Not for variety; he just wanted to turn his tongue purple.

"You might." he said, grinning. "I'll see you later."

If you dare. 'Cause she kind of creeps Annette out. But maybe that's just because they haven't gotten to be good buddies yet.

Yeah, that's what they are. Mailboxes. Pretty too.

...imagine if you will, Moist's derriere...

One too many cups of coffee this morning? You decide.

"I'll call back later if I die!"

*is dead from laughing*

*giggles* I couldn't help myself.
