Diaz & Ass.; Monday [01/10].

[died8yearsago]

Once again, Rosa was down in the office, mainlining coffee and trying to stifle a few yawns, since she'd spent another Sunday night just getting caught up in watching movies, apparently for research purposes.

Only this time, instead of a Nancy Meyers marathon, it wa definitely a run through the entire AndroidPolice franchise. Yes. Even the TV shows.

For research.

Of course.

Were these two late-night research sessions even remotely related?

Maybe! She could definitely see some potential here....

Diaz & Ass is open!

So it was a bit early still, but Dwight had been up for a while already. He gave it some time after he knew Diaz was in before he headed over.

And now there he was, standing in the door as he glanced over to the desk.

"Surprised you are up this early, Diaz," he said as he walked in. "Had a bit of a late-night there with the movie marathon didn't ya?" he asked giving her a look.

[died8yearsago]

And look who found a new point of research to add to her list: see just how high she could put the volume on the TV to find that perfect balance between annoying the neighbors while not annoying her boyfriend.

And to think, here she thought she was being considerate.

Mildly considerate, anyway.

For now, though, she was just going to look over at What's-His-Face, to let him know that this complaint was duly noted and waiting to see if there was anything actually important he might like to add to it before she could just get back to enjoying her coffee in peace.

(Yes, she was aware of the irony. In fact, she was rather enjoying it).

"It was a bit loud... at 1am" Dwight added, giving Rosa a bit of stink eye as he did. "I mean, I love Meta RoboCop as much as the next guy. But if I am going to be forced to listen to it at all hours of the night, I would rather be able to at least see it too!" Dwight said with a slight sigh.

[died8yearsago]

It was kind of funny, really, how all of Rosa's neighbors around here seemed to have inexplicably thin walls...

"What?" she asked, and, hey, look at that, he managed to get works this time, along with the usual quirk of her eyebrow and pointed sip of coffee. "Don't you have your own TV?"

[alwaysonguard]

"No, no... I have a TV. Just haven't gotten around to replacing my box set yet" Dwight said. "And even if I did, trying to que it up in time with yours would have been a nightmare in logistics."

He gave Rosa a glance and then a slight smirk. "Guess I should thank you though for not choosing something absolutely terrible."

[died8yearsago]

...god, he actually gave a sincere-ish answer to that question, and Rosa was just going to take a moment to just kind of hate her existence right now.

But at least even this guy understood that AndroidPolice was amazing, unlike some tea-drinking psychopaths.

Rosa just shrugged. "I have good taste."

Which should be obvious.

[alwaysonguard]

"Obviously," Dwight agreed with the slightest of nods. "Hopefully I can find replacement copies sooner rather than later. Cuz it's been entirely too long since I indulged."

And because really, it would be terrible to have to break down and like, actually ask the neighbors to borrow their copies for the weekend or something crazy like that.

"There really are far too few people who appreciate great cinema."

[died8yearsago]

Jesus. This guy was about as subtle as a sledgehammer, huh? Rosa gave a nearly imperceptible shake of her head, and, in bold defiance of any apparent expectations of offered movie borrowing or compliments toward film appreciation, she just turned her attention over to her computer.

"Uh-huh," she said, oh-so-conversationally.

[what_the_shock]

Miguel had done his best to watch along, but he had admittedly dozed off a couple times.

Now he was coming down with Death Wish coffee and a large reuben with homemade fries as a form of abject apology.

"Please tell me you're at least a little tired."

[Hey, I actually liked the TV show!]

[died8yearsago]

Don't worry, Tightpants. That long, hard stare Rosa was giving you right now was actually her forcing her body to erradicate the urge to yawn that naturally came from someone asking a question like that.

But she wasn't going to let it. Especially not when someone asked a question like that!

"Tired is for old people and corpses," she stated.

While now staring down the coffee in an effort to keep herself from just making grabby hands at it.

[[ i've never seen it; I just merely assumed ]]

[what_the_shock]

"Huh." Miguel hid a smirk (badly). "Guess you don't need this coffee, then. I'll take it back up and get you some Coke."

[died8yearsago]

"Just because I don't need coffee," Rosa declared, in a tone that suggested that she didn't care if he had stupidly good reflexes, she would leap over this desk and tackle him if he made even the slightest move toward that apartment, "doesn't mean I don't still want coffee."

On second thought, maybe she'd still leap over the desk and try to tackle him just for suggesting it.

Or even just for fun.

[what_the_shock]

That could be fun, yeah.

Miguel smirked and stayed where he was.

But he did take a big slurp of the coffee.

[died8yearsago]

The possibility of the coffee as a casualty was the one thing protecting (preventing?) him from that tackle, really.

"You're hilarious," she informed him, then promptly held out a hand (non-grabby) for the coffee.

[what_the_shock]

Wow, that was super polite for Rosa!

Miguel grinned and handed it over. "Did you finish the whole thing last night?"

[died8yearsago]

She even said words to Mr. What's-His-Face Try-Hard earlier! It was a real red letter day for Rosa's manners!

"What do I look like? A quitter?" said Rosa.

To the man who definitely quit.

[what_the_shock]

Miguel was definitely a quitter.

"Knew you had it in you. One of these days I should get you some feeds from back home, let you critique the cybercop losers in the Public Eye. They're not nearly as fun, but you might get some good laughs."
