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!

[ The answer, instead of from Angel, comes from a speaker somewhere in the room. ]

Between you and me and God, Doctor Birkin. Unless you'd rather he be excluded.

[fivestagegod]

[That just gets him to laugh a bit, actually.]

Come on, was that so damn hard? I can't guarantee that I'll get you many nice calls, but I can try to get a few more onboard at the meeting if you're really going to make me do this. I just hope for your sake that you didn't put any airhorns in the machine or something.

[didntgetdadslooks]

I would rather have assurance that at least a few of you have a genuine interest in speaking to me. My time is too valuable to be wasted by pointless lectures from the more... zealous among you. I'm sure you don't agree, but you'll have to understand.

[ There are some Loud Folks in here, man.

Angel takes her hand down from her earpiece, looking genuinely surprised. ]

So... there's your answer, I guess.

[fivestagegod]

Wow, he does not know me at all, does he.

[He sounds so amused.]

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel shrugs. ]

He's not really a fan of anyone except for himself. And some of his students.

[fivestagegod]

Yeah, no kidding; he reminds me of my employers. I'd think he's one of the Ashfords if there weren't only one of them left.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Guess there are some like him in every world.

[fivestagegod]

People like that are often the reason we have any progress at all. If you really want to get things done, not having morals tends to help.

[didntgetdadslooks]

I guess so. He certainly seems to be one heck of a go-getter.

[fivestagegod]

That's one way of putting it.

[Mm.]

I actually think that's all I've got for now; I'll give you a break tonight. Might be back later in the week, though - after all, I did refrain from hassling you all last week.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ She nods. ]

Well, I'll be here if you need anything. Or- if you get here really late, I'm out sometimes, but I get alerted if you're here and will be back in a few minutes.
