Stark Industries: Thursday

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

The hat appeared on her head when she got to work this morning.

There was a good deal of cursing as she realized that whenever she took it off, a few moments later it would reappear on her head.

Eventually she settled down into a grumpy phase of muttering under her breath as she tried to work.

[open! Yay Hat Day!]

"You have a hat," Tyler announced from the office doorway, adjusting his own. "It's fetching."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," she said dryly. "We're fashion mavens. I feel like walking a runway."

[tyler_gone]

"You could do a fierce little turn on the catwalk," Tyler suggested, and immediately made a face. "... I just said that."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

She turned and gave him a wary look.

"We're not having that blurting out shit thing today are we?"

[tyler_gone]

"Nah, that was just me worrying a joke didn't sound like a joke," Tyler said. "I do not use the word fierce."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"And for that I'm entirely grateful," Lindsay smirked, "I believe that word is due to be inducted into the hall of catchy phrases that we don't need to hear anymore."

[tyler_gone]

"Right next to anything Steve Martin ever said on Saturday Night Live and 'all your base are belong to us,' " Tyler agreed, then raised an eyebrow. "So. Walk of shame? You are allowed to have boys over, Boxer."

He had heard radio.

Linz let out a little groan and hat-palmed. "I wouldn't call it so much of a walk of shame than me just trying to get by Loki without him seeing me."

Yes, that's what a walk of shame was but Lindsay didn't want to think of it that way.

[tyler_gone]

"Who's the lucky guy?" Tyler asked dispassionately. "'Cause I can threaten to beat him up if he doesn't treat you nice."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Why Durden," Lindsay said sarcastically fluttering her eyelashes. "I didn't know you cared. It's Ronon. Guy I ratted out to the principal on."

[tyler_gone]

"I know Ronon. Interesting way to land a date," Tyler noted. "Have fun?"

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Well we ended up at his place after revealing our more horrifying secrets," Linz said. "Granted we were just trying to find a way to stop talking."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Looks like we're twins," Ronon announced, glaring up at the hat perched on top of his dreads.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, because we have the same kind of hair," she said smirking a little at the hat. "Good thing I shaved my beard off this morning or no one would be able to tell us apart."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Lucky for that. You could be my clone if we found you some leather pants," he said, smacking at the bow that kept dipping over his eye.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I'll stick to jeans or slacks," Lindsay promised. "That way there won't be any confusion. Love the hat. Where'd you get yours?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Is it still a hat if you can tear it to shreds and it comes back?" Ronon wondered. "In my world we kill things for less."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I'd still call it a hat," she said leaning back and grinning. "Though with your fashion opinions and method of destruction I think you should be a judge on Project Runway."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"I don't want to know what that is, do I?" he asked, crossing his arms in front of him.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," she said still smirking. "Unless you're into reality shows about fashion."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you mean 'reality' shows," he scoffed. "I saw that Fear Factor once. More like Meh Factor."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"You mean that's too tame for you or you didn't care for it?" Lindsay asked. "Because you would kick ass on that show. Especially with the hat."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, me an' this hat for a week and I'd show 'em somethin' to be afraid of," Ronon grinned.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Sounds frightening. Though I do think the bow works for you," Lindsay said returning the grin. "Though I'm not sure how it can even fit on your head."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Yours looks less stupid," and really, with these hats that was a compliment. Sort of. "But then, chicks and bows are fitting."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

Lindsay snorted in laughter. "Yeah. Right. I'm a fashion model. So what brings you by here? Hoping I'll blurt out something embarrassing again?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Only if I'm lucky," Ronon teased. "And this place is on my way up to school." No it wasn't. "Thought I'd see how you survived Loki."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"I survived him just fine," she said with a little eye-roll. "He just likes to give me crap. Don't worry. I'll find a way to get even."

And then Linz gave Ronon a little grin. "I didn't think the office was actually on your way to school from your apartment."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"You caught me," he said, leaning down against a desk. "What say we schedule a repeat of the other night. Minus the blurting."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

That brought a bit of a flush to her face and a bit of awkward stammering.

"I.. um. I'd like that," she said doing her best not to sound awkward. Or stammer.

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Good," he smirked. "I asked, so you set the date."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"Saturday?" Lindsay suggested.

Oh, Linz.

"You pick the place."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Okay, bowling." No, he didn't play the right way. "I hear Fast Eddie's has an alley."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"All right," Linz said. "I suck at it but who gives a shit? I'll meet you there?"

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Wear the hat just in case I don't recognize you," Ronon grinned.

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

That got him a snort of amusement. "Screw that. Only if you wear yours."

[satedan-soldier.livejournal.com]

"Deal," he nodded once. "We can have a ceremonial burning after."

[memberslonely.livejournal.com]

"You bring the matches, I'll bring the lighter fluid."
