Mauvaise Chance Office/Lobby: Saturday, January 12

[needsaparrot]

There's a counter, there's guy, there's a Guy With Tools sign.

Yes, there's a box of chocolate-frosted doughnuts. No, that's not significant of anything. He's just Xander. Who in fact is kind of a whistling, grinning guy, now that a certain other guy is back in town.

After arriving (http://lightishred.livejournal.com/1222.html) in town by accident and a failed attempt to contact command, Donut decided he should prepare for staying in the town that he didn't yet know the name of for the long haul. So he decided to find a place to stay.

Donut, fully dressed in his pink armor, clunked into Mauvaise Chance and rang the bell a few times.

[needsaparrot]

Xander thought Clone Trooper. Great, Mel's in jail again. before he looked up, just from the clanking. Then it was "Te--" Blink. Blink. Pink.

"You can't possibly be Tex."

"Oh god! No! No way!" Donut said. He did kill her though. But then she got better. Dammit. "I'm Donut!"

[needsaparrot]

"I was gonna say. Pretty sure she wouldn't be caught dead in th--" --at armor. He... should probably not finish the sentence that way, huh. "--is town again. Hi, Donut. Xander Harris. You looking for a room?" He glanced down at the box on the counter. "Or, uh, a doughnut?"

Donut was relieved to learn that Tex wasn't in town. Blue team being here would just add to his problems.

"No thanks to the doughnuts. I'm dieting. Can only eat foods that start with vowels," he said. "But I would like a room! I sort of ended up here accidentally and it looks like I'll be here a while."

[needsaparrot]

"...Vowels." It sort of scared him that he was pretty sure Cordelia had done that one at some point. "So does ice cream count? Also, I've got two apartments open - a one-bedroom and a two, both on the third floor." He punched the layouts up on the computer and spun the monitor around to face Donut. Or to faceplate him, maybe. Assuming him was a him.

[lightishred.livejournal.com]

"Ice cream totally counts!" he said. He mostly stuck to Oreos though. Donut looked at the monitor for a moment. "Um...I'll take the two bedroom one. I can use the other bedroom to put my clothes in!"

[needsaparrot]

Xander cocked his head at the armor, and counted the number of times he'd seen Tex without hers. You know, all zero of them. Not counting that weekend they all turned into kids, and he wasn't even sure which of those was her. "You got a lot of those?"

[lightishred.livejournal.com]

"Nope, this is my only one. If we could have more than one I'd get a color other than pink, trust me," he said. Even though he did read that pink was the new black in his Cosmo. "But now that it looks like I'm AWOL from the army at the moment I've got some time for a shopping spree."

And that would be a sneaky slayer stealthily stealing toward said doughnut.

[needsaparrot]

That would be a watchful Watcher totally sensing the stealthy stealing but not actually stirring to stop her.

"There's sprinkles on the ones under the crinkly paper."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Rutting hell!" Mel grumped as she sighed and went for the sprinkles. "I'm losing my touch."

[needsaparrot]

"Naah. You were just already on my mind today so I was kinda half waiting for you to show up."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"I'm going to have to get better. I'm in a spy class with Aly and being stealthy is important," Mel replied. "What's been making you think of me?"

[needsaparrot]

"Guy in armor cam in to rent a room. I thought it might be the Troopers at first."

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"What? I haven't done anything wrong," Mel protested.

...

"Well okay I haven't done anything wrong that would get me arrested."

[needsaparrot]

"I know! I'm proud!"

Mohinder hadn't had a great morning, feeling tired but still unable to get back to sleep. Turning his kitchen upside-down had found he had absolutely nothing to eat. That was finally enough to propel him - hair sticking out in all directions - from his apartment.

His eyes zoomed in on the counter. "You have doughnuts."

[needsaparrot]

"I do. They mysteriously appeared on the counter right after I got back from Jeff, God of Biscuits. Coincidence? You decide."

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Mystically appearing doughnuts?" said Mohinder. "I wouldn't be surprised if it started raining them." The last half of that was probably obscured by the doughnut he was stuffing into his mouth.

[needsaparrot]

This being, as mentioned, Xander, he didn't even blink at the doughnut stuffing, aside from an approving grin. "It did rain pudding once. Slightly messier."

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Cold or hot?" Mohinder asked, staring indecisively at two almost identical doughnuts. He sighed and closed his eyes as he picked one. "I think I caught something in yesterday's snow," he said in a low voice.

[needsaparrot]

"I was kind of inside at the time watching my boyfriend be a ferret and then not. But I'm guessing cold?" Xander scratched his head. "And yeah, wouldn't be surprised - you'll get that when you hang out on the roof in January."

He said hypocritically, having slept there on Christmas eve.

[offthelisthero.livejournal.com]

"Your boyfriend isn't usually ferret-shaped?"

"It wasn't my fault," Mohinder stubbornly told the crumbs sticking to his hands. He waggled his cell phone at Xander. "I thought I'd get a better signal, but no. People travel all the way to California and then he just doesn't call." Mohinder sniffed. "Not that I care."

[needsaparrot]

"...Not most of the time, no." Xander was a little concerned that he had to ask. Did he look like a guy who.... Eesh. "Sounds like maybe yours is, though?"
