OFFICE HOURS

[didntgetdadslooks]

Got something you want to say to your good friend The Professor's Assistant? Come on in, don't be shy! Her official hours are daylight hours - girl has to sleep? after all, probably - but if you knock on the door at night she'll generally answer. Please just make sure to leave the in-game date and time in the header of your toplevel!

[For a moment Shelley is silent, thinking. This really has to be a gamechanger of some sort. How, she has no idea, but right now they're going to need all the allies they can get]

I'm not telling them any of this, just in case. We'd rely on you as soon as the word gets out there and since you don't want that... [Even Shelley can see that's going to happen for like half of the people in the underwater base. The other half won't trust Angel at all]

...but since you say you can get us things, you think you can get a few romance books? Good ones?

[didntgetdadslooks]

That's fair enough. I'm not exactly going to keep it secret, but... that might be for the best.

[ She smiles. ]

Sure! I don't know how great a judge I am about good romance books, but I can see what I can do.

[drladysounds]

It's easy! If it makes your legs tremble and you feel yourself swooning onto the nearest couch it's a good romance novel. What's the point if the writing doesn't make you feel the passion?

[Shelley leans back like she's about to swoon all over the desk to demonstrate how romance is supposed to make you feel, but refrains at the last second. Hum. Nevermind that!]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel sort of... makes to try to catch her for a second, but! Swoon averted, okay. ]

I... it's going to take a little while if I have to check them all for swooning, can I just poll for some recommendations with the rest of the staff?

[drladysounds]

Brilliant! That's a good idea. It'll spare you from having to read fifty romance books to find the good ones.

[Things are going so smoothly. Huh.

Maybe things really would be fine despite being trapped in an underwater base with a bunch of strangers for the foreseeable future! Alright. Nothing to worry about!]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ So smoothly! ]

I can't promise fifty, but I can probably get a few brought in. I'll see what I can do.

[drladysounds]

You have my gratitude.

Now, anything I can do for you?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Uh... I don't know, not really? I'm here to help you guys, I can handle myself alright in here.

[drladysounds]

How independent! Alright! But if you ever need a hand with anything you can call me. We're technically on the same side, so you can count on me.

[Shelley takes her leave. Bye, Angel, nice having met you]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Sounds good to me. Later!
