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!

I owe you all big time.

[Hmm...still, there's something she's wondering...]

I imagine there are restrictions about what kind of things we can ask for, no?

[didntgetdadslooks]

Yeah. There's definitely some stuff we're going to have to find an alternative for if you want it. Why?

[drladysounds]

I'm looking for a videocamera for... [...hm, an excuse...] ...filmmaking purposes. May as well make a documentary about life down here. 'Trapped Under the Sea: Less 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', More 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue''. It doesn't even have to be fancy, anything that can record for a while is okay.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Right. And this wouldn't have anything to do with trying to record the facility over time?

[ Her tone is a little playful and definitely a little Knowing, but not threatening or anything. ]

Just want to be sure.

[drladysounds]

[Uh-oh, busted. Shelley actually gasps, but she should have seen that coming, haha]

The unsung heroes of our stay, those who keep the place clean and tidy deserve a segment. Poseidon looks favorably upon the janitors!

[...welp. Shelley has no more option but to sigh]

Coming here was a long shot, but it was worth a try.

[didntgetdadslooks]

[ Angel laughs a little. ]

Tell you what - it's not a guarantee they'll say no, and I don't have any real reason to veto you guys. I can put it in- there's an option on the order form to send something as close as they can to the original request, do you want me to check that and see what happens?

[drladysounds]

You're a lifesaver, Angel. Please do.

[Uf, what a relief]

I guess you knowing what I was talking with others means you can hear everything...I should have known.

[didntgetdadslooks]

Drawbacks of having me around, I guess - I'm pretty good at watching you all most of the time. Surveillance is half of my job here.

[drladysounds]

I hope we haven't been badmouthing you much.

[Says Shelley, unaware of the kind of things some people have been said about Angel and her role here. Not that it's without good reason, really]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Eh, less than I expected.

[ It's fine. She's fine with this. ]

[drladysounds]

You must have really thick skin. I know if I was in your place I wouldn't endure it well at all. I'm as soft and easy to bruise as a peach.

[didntgetdadslooks]

It's easier when you expect it, I think. I'm not exactly the picture of a good guy, when you think about what I'm doing here on paper.

[drladysounds]

[Shelley leans on the wall]

Have others come to talk to you? Even if you're "a bad guy"?

[She can't be the only one coming, she hopes. Bad guy or not, Angel is there, at everyone's reach]

[didntgetdadslooks]

Not everyone, but some of them have, which has been nice.
