Stark Industries: Thursday

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

Lindsay was in a very quiet mood for the past few days and it continued into today. At the moment she was e-mailing a couple people from home trying to explain and apologize for what happened over the weekend.

Comments

It was amazingly easy to discover where people lived and worked in this town. Even when you weren't computer savvy.

"So, what's pot?" Ronon asked, voice gruff and face unamused as he leaned heavily on whatever furniture was nearby.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

Oh. Crap.

"Something you cook food in?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Sure it was. "So how come you're complaining about it to the principal?" It wasn't his intention to look imposing, that was more a byproduct of him living and breathing.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

He might not mean to be intimidating but that of course just set off a bit of a stubborn streak in Lindsay.

"Who says I did?" She demanded.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Her stubborn demand just amused him. "You do," Ronon supplied.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

She wasn't backing down from this. He had nothing on her.

"Me? No. You must mean that Abbie Carmichael someone mistook me for last week."

Denial! Woo!

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Nah, she said Lindsay Boxer," Ronon said, enunciating her name to make sure his English was clear. "And by she, I mean you."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

Ah shit.

"Well... then... Fuck."

She flailed a bit. "I mean come on! Look at you! You have the hair, you had the munchies and acting all paranoid! What's someone supposed to think?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

Ronon snorted. "That I'm hungry and don't know you." The first thing he really had no defense for.

Amazingly enough, Tyler was there after his class to bother Lindsay, not Tony.

Go figure.

"So ..." he began. "Interesting week?"

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"You could say that," Linz said fighting the urge to smack herself in the head. "And you?"

[tyler_gone]

"Someone came to my office Monday to tell me not to kill Tony. That was new," Tyler commented. "You feeling okay?"

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Oh I'm peachy," Lindsay said in a weary tone. "Last weekend I pissed off a bunch of my friends then I screamed at Tony like a banshee and just before you got here the gym teacher confronted me about getting ratted out to his boss."

She then gave Tyler a grin. "So let me ask you: Is it more normal for people to show up at your office and then ask you to kill Tony?"

[tyler_gone]

"I can honestly say it's never happened that way," Tyler said, surprised. "It happens to you? And how come you ratted out Ronon, anyhow? I don't know him, but he seems decent."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

She sighed. "Well the dreads were a big factor. Then I saw him eating everything in sight at a buffet and he was acting really paranoid," Lindsay said, "So my gut told me he was on pot."

[tyler_gone]

Tyler looked at her skeptically.

"So profiling lives on in San Francisco," he observed. "That makes the anti-drug assembly your fault."

A pause.

"I ended up singing. In a costume."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Hey, I made a call about one guy," she said holding up her hands, "Someone who was showing distinct signs. If your principal went overboard that's her deal."

She cracked a grin. "What kind of costume?"

Emerging from the lab for air and coffee, Tony nodded toward her as he made a beeline straight for the sweet nectar of life that was caffeine.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

Lindsay glances at him a little bit trying to keep her anxiety down.

"How's your hand?"

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Taking a sip of his coffee, Tony just looked confused. "My hand?"

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"You're hand which is-"

She stopped and realized that his hand was perfectly fine.

"Perfectly fine. Which probably means I screamed at a total stranger Saturday night. Great."

She slapped the documents she was reading down on the table.

"Just. Fucking. Great."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

Tony tried his best to give her a kind look for that. It ended up more amused than anything. "I'm sure he'll forgive you."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

She gave Tony a glare. "I'm still irrationally pissed at you. That rant was fully meant for you so you better just watch it next time."

[not-ironmaiden.livejournal.com]

"I'll keep that in mind." No he wouldn't. "As long as you don't throw things at me, I think it'll be fine."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I'll probably shoot you if I was really pissed. Or use a taser," Lindsay snarked. "I'll leave the throwing of things to Tyler."
