The Perk - Tuesday Afternoon (After Lunch)

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Lucas was in need of caffeine and evil revenge plotting, so he headed to the Perk to get an iced caffeiney drink and to meet Pam.

Pam wandered in and waved a tiny bit spazzily. "Hi!"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Lucas turned and grinned. "Do you want something?" He jerked a thumb towards the menu board.

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam smiled, bouncing on her toes. "Um, sure. What are you getting?"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Something cold with a whole lot of chocolate and coffee in it. Sound good?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam nodded. "Cold is good, and chocolate and coffee are always awesome."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Lucas ordered another one and handed over the money for the two drinks. He turned and offered one to Pam and nodded towards a table. "I have the response letter. You're never going to believe what he wrote."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam, who had been reaching for her purse, blushed and fumbled slightly as she wandered towards the table. "He wrote back already? In purple?"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"In purple," he confirmed as he sat down. Lucas put his drink down, then rummaged around in his pocket. He pulled out the letter response that read (in purple ink) 'your response (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1788820.html)' and slid it across the table.

"...wow, he's a special kind of dim, isn't he?" Pam asked, giggling as she read it.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"I don't think anyone saw me go pick it up, but they might've heard me laughing. That's really special. I don't know whether he's serious or playing us, but it's worth another try. Got any ideas for what we should make him do?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Wear moose antlers for a few days," Pam said immediately. "I somehow think he'd find a set and do it. I don't know. What've you got?"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Something involving tacky toy store walky talkies, but I like your idea better."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"We could do both," Pam suggested. "I'm sure the CIA likes overkill."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"I could set up a computer program that could transmit orders to him throughout the day."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam stared. "You can do that? What kind of orders?"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Well, so he doesn't get away with hiding out for the entire day. Make him go on a scavenger type hunt. Like go here, do this, get this off this person. It could be totally random. And if the program did it, then we'd have alibis being somewhere else when it happens."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"...you're a genius," Pam said, still staring. "What if we send him to a person who doesn't have whatever he needs, though?"

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Then we'll have to convince him that he has to get the job done no matter what. It'll be funny to see him try his hardest."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"We should do that on purpose, then. Send him to like, Principal Washburn for a...I don't know, a petticoat," Pam said with a smirk.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Definitely. And we should send him to the Jerries for something as well."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Something sane, though. Something they wouldn't have. Not that they'd be able to help him find it anyway, since they'd just be all 'We have a stoooore, Jerry!' at him."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Maybe something that would really set them off. Something to do with the government?"

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"...oooh. Just have him ask for 'the papers from the government,' and say that they'll know what he means."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Yes! Perfect. Then he'll have to rummage around to try to find them while dealing with the Jerries going crazy. I can get the program to bug him if he's not going fast enough."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Perfect!" Pam beamed. "And there'll still be antlers? They're not important. It just makes me laugh."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Of course. If he asks why, we'll tell him that we're testing his ability to remain inconspicuous even when he's wearing antlers. It's for potential agents with a suspected aptitude for the job."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Again, evil mastermind," Pam said, nodding admiringly. "We could add things as time goes on. Clown nose. Eyepatch. Wigs."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Perfect. He could have a whole ensemble by the time we're done with him. I'll write the program tonight, then we can implement it whenever you want."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Great," Pam said, smiling shyly. "Thanks. You don't have to go to this kind of effort, you know. I'd be happy with simple old prop comedy."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"It's fun," Lucas assured her, cradling his iced mocha between his hands. He shrugged. "And I like hanging out with you."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam nodded. "I think we're allowed to hang out without the express purpose of being evil," she offered, apparently speaking to her cup. "You know, if you wanted to, sometime."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Lucas perked up. "Yes! I mean," he tried to act cool. "Yeah. Of course. That'd...that'd be very cool."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam looked up, a bit startled. "Really? I mean, um, yeah. That would be cool."

So much for being smooth.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"We wouldn't have to do evil at all," Lucas said, not sure whether he was saying the right thing or if he should just stop rambling and be quiet. "Unless you wanted to. Or we could eat pizza or watch a movie or," he swallowed hard, "do what people when they're not being evil."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam nodded, eyes wide. "We could do that, yeah. There, um, are lots of not evil things to do. Movies are good! I like movies. I like lots of stuff that isn't evil, promise."

Pam was just going to be quiet now.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Me too. Not that the evil stuff hasn't been fun, because it has been and it's going to be, but doing stuff that isn't evil together could be a lot of fun too and we should definitely give it a try. If you want."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"I want to," Pam said, looking shy.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Me too," he smiled. Yes, they'd confirmed this. Yes, Lucas was letting his mouth act without his brain backing it up. "This weekend? Or next week. Or the week after. Whenever you're not busy. I'm not busy, but if you are, whenever you can fit me into your schedule."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

Pam smiled like a dork. "This weekend's fine. I'm not busy."

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Me neither. So Saturday night? We can see what's on at the movie theater."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"Perfect," Pam said, her cheeks pink.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

Lucas grinned. "Great. So I'll call you. Or you can call me, but I'll definitely call you."

[keds-champion.livejournal.com]

"I think I'll just wait for your call, then," she said, grinning and concentrating on her drink.

[imissmydolphin.livejournal.com]

"Okay," he said, trying not to bounce. What was it Ben said? Make an exit. Don't ruin the moment. Make an exit and leave them hanging. "So I'd better go work on this program, but then I'll call and we'll do stuff."

Stan decided he had an afternoon Perk need. Of cheesecake.
