Trooper Station - Saturday

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy had caught one of the troopers that morning playing games on what the guy called a Nintendo. Which was kind of an interesting little piece of technology and it was just because he should get used to this world's technology - please ignore that he wasn't going anywhere near a computer for his paperwork - that he made the trooper explain how to use it.

So now he was behind the front desk, playing something called 'Advance Wars: Dark Conflicts'. And he wasn't amused that Trak made him think of Havoc or that the O'Brian character needed an eyepatch. As did Sigusmundo. And a sword.

((Open. Been wanting to do this for ages.))

"Too insane to change?" he offered with a smirk.

Her voice took on a vague quality -- Ghost -- when she replied, "Too nice." She paused. "Not that I don't like the break."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He thought for a moment of Umbridge, dinosaurs and the plague. "Not always."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Usually, though. I don't know--" Another wry smile, "Guess I'm just too used to going where Arcturus Mengsk needs me most," she half-joked.

"Nah, I can see it," he said easily. "It's just that this place seems to lull you from time to time and you think it's all peaceful. It's dangerous like that."

"Maybe you should just deputize me," Kerrigan snorted. "Give me something to do other than yelling at kids about their daddy issues."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy couldn't quite help the snicker as there was a lovely image and he wondered if Ed ever got that kind of yelling. "You really want to do paperwork, don't you?"

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Only on invasion days," she snickered back. "And no, not Ed. Yet."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

He paused for a moment. "Don't," he requested.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"He's not in my class," she said, with a shrug.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Huh, he didn't stick around to annoy?" Roy asked, that was new.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure last time it was Adama's idea," Kerrigan replied, rolling her eyes.

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Trust me, Ed doesn't need encouragement," he assured her.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"And Adama's relentless," she countered. "He still swings by my office all the time and he's not even in my class."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Well Ed was more trying to ignore Roy. "He must really like you," he teased.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Kerrigan said, picking up something on the desk -- what did people leave on these front desks? "That must be it."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Mostly papers and stuff to write really. Sometimes donuts too, but fresh one from the box, not stale. "You don't think so?" he asked with a grin.

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

Kerrigan fiddled with the bizarre pen. She hoped it was a pen. She couldn't quite tell. "He comes by mostly to annoy me."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"And if he didn't really like you, he wouldn't bother," Roy smirked. "He's a teenage boy."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Don't ruin a good student bitch with your logic," she muttered, holding up the pen and peering at it. "It's impolite."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

Roy chuckled. "I apologise," he said sincerely. "You're more than welcome to continue the bitching."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Nah, now you broke it." She clicked the... clicky end. Huh. Guess it really was a pen. "Can't bitch."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"Now I feel terribly bad about breaking the bitching," he sighed. "You might have to finish that game for me."

[on-her-korhal.livejournal.com]

"Now you're even being lazy about your own entertainment," she said, casting the pen back down on the desk. "That takes skill."

[light-a-spark.livejournal.com]

"I'm very skilled," he said smugly, not quite meaning the lazy part.
