Mauvaise Chance Apartments Lobby/Office: Tuesday, 6/5 (all day)

[needsaparrot]

Xander could be found behind the counter, feet up and reading the Onion Alexandria Times. Completely coincidentally, a small log-cabin made of wrapped Twinkies could be found on the counter.

There might be one missing if you happened to step in before Xander got his phone to produce a replacement. Hey, construction is hard work; he needed replenishments.

[OOC: Open for tenants old and new, Buster's scavenger hunt kids, and anybody else who wanders by.]

Mel just happened to be free of workshops so she wandered down to the YMCA to see how Xander was doing.

"Hey there Watcher-man," she called out as she entered the lobby. "What's the good word?"

[needsaparrot]

"Well, the word 'smoothie' is nice." Xander deliberately overenunciated it. "Kind of palate-cleansing, makes people make kissyfaces..."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Nothing wrong with a good kissyface," Mel said rolling her eyes as she hopped on the counter to sit. "Did you hear that Dawn is going home to Scotland this weekend? I get to go along and she promised me vampires!"

[needsaparrot]

"Scotland?" Xander repeated, thinking back to where they'd been based at any given time and sticking his tongue out at Joss.

Well he hadn't brought anything by the construction site yesterday, so after a quick detour to the Perk, Bridge stops in with iced coffee in hand.

"Hey," he says, wandering behind the counter and sitting down.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Hi. I don't think we've met. I'm Mel."

"Hey Bridge!" Mel said with a wave. "I'm going to go kill vampires this weekend.

She's excited. Can you tell?

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You seem pretty excited about that," Bridge observes with a grin. Because yes, as a matter of fact he *can* tell.

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Oh, well yeah. Sure. It's been a while since I dusted one," Mel said with a little bravado. "Gotta keep my skills up."

[needsaparrot]

"Hey." Xander looks up and grins. "Oh, hey." Possibly the second hey is for the coffee.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You know, I've been wandering around with my hands full and I was kind of hoping if I stopped in here I'd find some kind soul willing to take one of these," Bridge says. "Know of anyone?"

[needsaparrot]

"We could put an ad in the newspaper?" Xander suggests, not sliding his stool closer at all except maybe a little.

Annette snuck in the lobby, real quiet like and hunched over, making her already short self shorter. She spotted the Twinkies first, Xander second. Ducking low against the wall of the counter, she slowly reached up and over, peeking over the top to snatch a Twinkie. Yes!

Then she made a mad dash towards the exit.

[needsaparrot]

She might have caught the corner of Xander's newspaper twitching, but possibly not if her back was turned while she was mad-dashing.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Too bad Annette's mad stealth skills didn't have her just running out and not looking back over her shoulder. She looked, caught the twitching of the newspaper, and stumbled into the closed front door mushing the stolen Twinkie against her chest.

Hey, it was still wrapped. She bet Buster wouldn't even notice.

Righting herself quickly, Annette was outta there faster than...than the newpaper could twitch again! WooHoo!

[needsaparrot]

That sound coming from behind the newspaper was not Xander failing to suppress his giggling. Really.

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn totally gave up on the sneaky for this particular stop. She made a gun out of her right index finger and thumb and used it to poke at the newspaper.

"I'm just here for the twinkie. Don't move and no one gets hurt."

The dork is running high in the younger Summers today, oh yes.

[needsaparrot]

"Including the Twinkie?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Um...depends on how this goes. If you give me any trouble, the twinkie gets it." Dawn had watched way too many bad movies.

[needsaparrot]

"So now it's kidnapping and cruelty to Twinkies?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

It was a food kind of day. Peter decided to grab some Twinkies for the scavenger hunt and hey why not shake up the characters these two muns use to interact with. He came into the lobby and peered around for the booty.

[needsaparrot]

Xander's was firmly planted on his chair, but Peter probably didn't mean that one. By this time Xander wasn't really into hiding behind the paper anymore, so when the door opened, he put it down and looked up. "If you came for the Twinkies, I gotta tell you, be careful. They're feisty today."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I'm not the first?" Peter asked. "Darn. I was hoping for the element of surprise."

[absolutesnark]

Summer quietly snatched a Twinkie and tried to flee without being noticed.

[needsaparrot]

Xander had a sudden urge to clean under the counter. La la la la la la....

[absolutesnark]

Summer held the Twinkie protectively as she headed for the door. She was really hoping the cleaning provided enough distraction so she could get out of there all stealth-like.
