The One in the Lobby

[huntersdaughter]

Who: Anyone!
Where: Central Perk Paradisa Perk aka The Lobby
When: Monday. All Day.
Notes: Threadjacking. Action. Prose. It's all welcome.



[The lobby coffee shop is somewhat peaceful. Though, Jo is trying to figure out her menu plan for the holiday and how to get Julia to not be so depressed over her own brother being a jerk. It's really not Jo's fault. Of course, he was always the favorite, so she's really not surprised to see this huge fall from grace. It just upsets her to see her friend (and her brother) so upset.

Honestly, her brother is miserable. If she has to look at Gwaine and hear that sad, near-honking, '...hhhhi' again? Yeah, there will be blood.

You can find Jo buzzing between the kitchen in the Lux and the couches in the coffee shop. She should be working, but it's the middle of the day! Who wants to work?]

[Shh. It's a completely legit job.]

She does. [But you might know her, so--] It doesn't matter where. Shouldn't we be celebrating or something?

[huntersdaughter]

Do you want free food? Is that what this is about?

[He pauses just long enough to make a face.]

I don't think a congratulations sandwich is totally out of line.

[huntersdaughter]

Oh? Well... maybe.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

That's more like it.

[huntersdaughter]

Well, if you want anything you better speak up now.

[Good ol' pushover Jo. He smiles!]

Now that you mention it, I could go for a steak sandwich.

[huntersdaughter]

C'mon. [vague gesture over her shoulder to lead him toward the Lux where she'll cook him a steak sandwich. SIGH.]

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Right behind you.

[Look at it like this: if he has a job, there's a chance he could pay. Higher than average chance anyway.]

[huntersdaughter]

[EYES UP TOP.

Anyway, into the Lux they go and she'll beeline to the kitchen. He's welcome to follow and keep her company while she cooks for him.]

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[They'll get there, give him a minute.

Annnd there they go. (Aren't you glad you've got such a great guy to hang out with?)]

[huntersdaughter]

[Yep. Amazing. She'll move to the freezer and grabs a cut of meat and turning on the grill. While that cooks, she'll grab some other stuff...]

So other than newly employed, what else is going on?

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

[Everything is looking up for Spike right now. He takes a seat where he can have the best vantage point.]

Not much. Jet says his plants are good.

[huntersdaughter]

That's good. I'm sure he was worried because the temperature is starting to drop.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's got a great set of priorities.

[huntersdaughter]

He's your roommate. You should get used to these things.

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

Just because I'm used to them doesn't mean they're not weird.

[huntersdaughter]

I'm sure it'll be okay. Just, help me with setting the table?

[gottaknockhard.livejournal.com]

... Are you sure you want to trust me with that?

[Do you remember how he breaks everything, Jo. He's still Spike.]

[huntersdaughter]

Yes, because I know that you know if you mess it up I will hurt you.
