Photo Hut, 3/28/07

Steerpike was researching chemicals again. Inflammatory ones, this time.

There was an idea forming. Yessssss.

Photo Hut was open for business.

Annette walked in after work - making a quick stop before she had to run to cheerleading practice.

She had some very nice pictures she wanted to show Steerpike.

"Hi."

Oh, lovely. Another along to mock him about that very unfortunate incident the other day.

What else might he expect from Annette, though.

"Good day,"

"So, how's it going?" Yeah, she could be nice. Even after his mean treatment of her.

Ah, the patronizing portion of the interview. Well, he wouldn't have to put up with it for much longer.

"Well, thank you."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's nice." Pause. "I've been doing good too. In case you were wondering or anything." Yeah, right.

"So, I wanted to show you something." She slapped down only one picture of him in his blonde wig, white gown and make-up. And he was making kissy lips at the camera.

Steerpike flinched back. "Please tell me you'll allow me to destroy those."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
She raised a brow, grinning, "Why would you want to do that? I think they're...cute." Annette made a show of looking down at the picture, tilting her head this way and that. "Oh, and I have a cute one of us together too. Remember that?"

"Yes," Steerpike said through gritted teeth. "You are taking advantage of me by having those, Annette. I was under the influence of some sort of chemical, and very much not myself."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"Advantage of you?" She rested her elbows on the counter, chin in hands. "That sounds dirty, Steerpike."

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"Only to those with a dirty mind."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Did you just insult me? Cause I don't have a dirty mind. Not at all. Not even a little bit. I don't even know what a dirty mind is."

"There's a famous phrase, somewhere, about ladies and over-protesting things,"

Annette bit the inside of her cheek to keep from saying anything about his upbringing. It was obvious he enjoyed arguing. Well, he would not get a rise out of her.

"You want this picture?" She picked it up and held it in her fingers.

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you are not going to dispose of it, then yes. The others as well, please."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not going to dispose of it, or them." She said plainly.

"Hmm, let's think about this. You want my nice, lovely quality pictures only to destroy them? Doesn't seem very fair if you ask me."
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Might I refer you back to the 'taking advantage' part of this conversation? I was in no fit shape to consent to having my picture taken."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She gave him a cheeky smile, "But you agreed nonetheless. And now I have six pretty pictures of you. I'm just thinking about what I should do with them. I can send them off to a special photo place and have them blown up, or I can make a neato photo album, or I can tack them in the dorm common rooms...endless possibilities here."

"I find it necessary at this juncture to point out that I have been in this place for long enough to learn about the extensive legal system, especially concerning civil suits." He smiled. It wasn't a nice expression. "And I have numerous other resources to draw upon that would make you regret any of those decisions."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, regret? Annette loved playing sneaky stuff like this. Steerpike was an enigma to her and she almost desperately wanted to learn everything she could about him. She would tell Nadia about him tonight. And resources? What resources?

"I'm sorry. You're right. I guess I'll just go back to my room and throw them away."
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Steerpike shook his head. "I don't trust you. Give them to me, and I can make sure they're properly disposed of."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Annette shook her head. "I don't trust you. It would seem we are at an impasse." But she was grinning. "What do you suggest?"
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"You don't trust me to destroy pictures of myself that I don't want to have had taken? Are you on something?"

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn. He caught on to that! Okay, so she hadn't thought of that when she said that, but hey, sometimes quick thinking just wasn't her thing.

"Uhh...like what?"
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"There are any number of chemicals you might have taken. Perhaps something similar to what I had when did . . ." he grimaced at the photo. ". . . that."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry to disappoint you, Steerpike, but I'm clean. I don't do...chemicals. Of anykind. I am squeaky clean."

She drummed her fingertips atop the counter. "Let's see. You tell me a resource, and I'll give you a picture. Sound fair?"
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"A resource for what, exactly?"

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey, you're the one who mentioned resources, so I figure you know for what." Yeah, trick him!

"You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, do you."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Probably not, but Steerpike, I don't think that hardly matters right now. What matters is that we could work together." She nodded, "Think about it."
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"And once again we're back to the fact that I don't trust you."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Which made her pout. "Why not? I'm cute." Complete logic.

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh good lord, that was just typical, wasn't it. "I rather think we'll just have to stick with my threatening you with vengeance should you proceed to post these images anywhere, and not bring them to me for destruction."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Threatening me with vegeance? I'm pretty sure that is a crime, Steerpike." She thought. "What kind of vegeance, just so I can be clear on that?" And to tell Nadia!
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"As is, I believe, attempting to blackmail me with these pictures," Steerpike pointed out. "As for the type of vengeance, do you honestly expect me to tell you?"

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She wouldn't touch the blackmail comment.

"...would it be painful? Cause I don't do pain well, Steerpike. Just telling you that now. No pain for Annette. She can't take it. And...no kidnapping Annette either. Probably she'd go crazy and try to bite you and stuff."
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Steerpike merely raised an eyebrow. "Are you quite done? You do realize there is a very simple way of you avoiding any of this trouble, and that is to give me the photos that I've requested from you. I suppose you might keep the one of the two of us together, but the others are my likeness alone."

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"You know, you could really benefit from some glitter and boykissy. You are waayyy to moody. So, I guess I'll see you later then? Okay, you have a good day now, Steerpike." She gave him a bright smile, and turned to leave.
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you going to give me the photos or not, Annette," Steerpike called after her.

[identity profile] misshargrove.livejournal.com 2007-03-28 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
She wrinkled up her nose and whispered, looking back at him, "Nottoday. Bye-bye!" And she quickly hurried out.
sneerkite: (Default)

[personal profile] sneerkite 2007-03-28 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Steerpike rolled his eyes and turned back to his research.

Soon enough, those like Annette wouldn't even matter, anyway.
