Trooper Station - Sunday brunch

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

When Roy wandered into the station that morning, he found the lobby filled with tables he was pretty sure hadn't been there before. The plastic chairs had been moved around them, creating space to eat at while the tables pushed against the wall were filled with enough food to rival an officer's ball.

When Roy tried to find Ralph to ask what the hell was going on, the trooper was mysteriously missing. Roy had a sneaking suspicion he'd been set up. At least it involved free food. Grabbing a cup of coffee and some pastries, he settled behind the front desk and started reading in a book on Earth military.

((OCD coming. And it's up.))

Aiden picked out a muffin, poured herself a large vat of coffee and found a free seat. She didn't even bring the Sudoku today, which is so much more sociable of her.

Roy looked up from his book and looked amused at the large coffee. "Needing to stay awake?" he commented from behind the desk.

Aiden chuckled. "Not so much a specific kind of a need," she said. "Jus' habit, mostly."

She sipped at it carefully. "Plus, who am I to waste free coffee," she addded."

"That reasoning I can not argue with," Roy said with a smile. "They seem to have stocked up."

He was pretty sure that 'they' was Ralph and he wondered exactly how the trooper had managed to get all this set up without his knowing.

"They obviously know what's good for 'em," Aiden said with a smirk.

"You're the new Sherrif round here, right?" she asked. She then continued, not waiting for an actual response, with, "I'm Aiden."

"Aiden... Burn?" he guessed. He might have spent time studying the town directory. "It's a pleasure to meet you," he said.

Deciding it was easier to talk without having to look over a desk, he put his book down and moved around the desk. "And I am. I'm Roy," he held out his hand.

"That'd be me." Aiden grinned, happily shaking the guy's hand. He seemed far less intimidating than she'd been expecting having heard a little about the last Sheriff.

"Nice t' meet you too," she replied. "How you findin' your new post?"

Eating free food was always a good way to spend part of a Sunday, so Stark had made his way down to the station, filled his plate with rather a lot of said free food and found himself a seat.

Yachiru was becoming a nice, convenient excuse for why Kenpachi bothered with these sorts of things. The grabbed their breakfasts (her suspiciously seemed very heavy on doughnuts) and found a place to sit slightly apart from everyone. It was the most Kenpachi could do, as he imagined he didn't make himself look very non-approachable while buttering a bagel.

Steve was there, helping himself to pastry and coffee. Lots of coffee.

The plan was to go into the station, throw the reports at Mustang and leave. No need to get distracted by...oooh, food.

Still free food wasn't worth a long conversation full of the insinuations and insults that the Colonel would inevitably aim at him so Ed stuck to his original plan after a moment of wavering at the door.

He marched up to the desk and slid the pile of reports across it, not much caring where they went. "There you go," he snapped. "So sorry I couldn't play your message boy."

Roy looked up in surprise, he'd expected Ed to still be in Resembool. "How come you're back already?"

Re: Bug the sheriff

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

"Didn't go," Edward said, ready for a smart remark to be thrown back at him.

Re: Bug the sheriff

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

It didn't come as Roy was frowning, not understanding why after all this time Ed was putting off going home. "Why not?"

Re: Bug the sheriff

[im-fullmetal.livejournal.com]

His shoulders sagged though he tried not to show his frustration and sadness. "It didn't work," he replied, still half-defiantly.

Re: Bug the sheriff

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"What didn't?" Roy asked immediately. It didn't make sense if Ed meant what Roy thought he did.
