Moving Day (again!) - Second floor hallway

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

After her omgsoconfusing morning, Rory started to patiently move boxes of her things down the hall from room 236 to 213.

She is but one wee, clumsy, fairly weak girl though, so she would certainly appreciate any help offered.

Unless it's offered by John or Lee, because they are OMG SO DEAD.

Parker's helping, despite the urge to hide under the bed. "Hey. Did you talk to Alex Krycek about me and Jack?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory sighed. "No, why? Did you get a phone message from him or something?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yes. He knows way more about what I had planned for Jack tomorrow than he should." Parker frowned. "Maybe Lee told him. He was drunk enough to leave me a message about wondering if he had his hand down my pants last night. That boy needs medication."

Rory's kind of an idiot sometimes.

"Well. Did he?"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker glares. "Do you want help moving, ex-roomie?" Then she grins. "Sadly, no. And wouldn't that be something to tell Thrace." She scowled. "Who is *messing* with me again. Making passes... you were so right about her, god."

Angela can't stay on her own floor, can she?

"Hey," she says. "Need help?"

Anders wandered back up from a long run to see wee little Rory and a pile of boxes in the hallway. Being bored and in the mood to be helpful, he jogged down the hall toward her.

"Moving again, Gilmore? Where to? I can totally help lift things." He nodded.

Because lifting things was what he was good at, after all.

Rory nodded. "She's an odd one," she agreed. "Um, about that stuff with Logan and Anakin last night...you know I agree with Logan, right?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"'Course." Rory frowned. "And Marty's called me about something weird this morning. Ferrets?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Room 213," Rory grinned. "And thanks. You seem like someone who would be good at lifting things."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I know." Parker sighed. "But Rory... I really think Anakin doesn't get why what he did was wrong. And frankly, that scares the hell out of me."


_{[[and I must be afk until tomorrow noon! Gah. Wanna pick this up then?]]}

"Yep. Heavy lifting is my specialty. 's what Cally says, anyway. 213?" Anders grinned. "That's Cally's old room. You gonna want to keep the top bunk bed, then? We already moved out the other dresser, but we kinda didn't need the extra bed, so . . ."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"He does, and he doesn't," Rory said pensively. "It was the lesser of two evils. He could have seriously hurt Logan."


[Sure, works for me! :)]

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory didn't comment on how they didn't need another bed.

"Yeah, I'll probably keep it for visitors. Or Vladdie." She coughed. "I think I got a phone message for you this morning. From Cally."

Anakin walked down the hallway with a scowl on his face. His phone had been ringing off the hook with weird messages all day.

He brightened when he saw Rory, then noticed Parker. The events of last night were still pretty raw. The muscles in his jaw clenched, but he tried to behave normally.

"Need a hand?" he asked.

[chasingangela]

Angela blushes a deep scarlet, remembering Marty's reference to "making out like crazed ferrets.". "Um, he mentioned ferrets to me, too. As a joke. You know."

"MAybe he thinks they'd, um, be good company for Camilla?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Well, our room's kinda small anyway, and there wasn't room to push two beds together, and anyway this way it's nice and snuggly," rambled Anders, cheerfully oblivious, as he stacked up a couple of boxes and started shoving them down the hallway. "But hey, yeah, could come in handy, right? Never know when somebody might need to spend the night with you."

He paused and blinked. "Wait, what? A message for me?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory smiled. Parker ducked back into 234, seemingly without seeing Anakin.

"Sure. We're going to 213," Rory replied, lifting up a box of books and nearly falling over.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh, Tiger," Rory replied. Sure, she had tried to block out the message. But it was really someone else's turn for trauma.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders's eyes went wide when he heard Rory say "Tiger," and he promptly turned bright red and coughed.

"What? How'd you know -- nobody's supposed to -- that's like, totally supposed to be Cally's secret nickname for me when we -- !" he sputtered. "Oh Lords, do I even wanna know what the message was?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," Rory replied. "I thought it was meant for me, though, so I called him back with kind of a harsh message. Because, um, aside from...ferrets...he's your boyfriend, and ew, no hitting on people who aren't you."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

It was Rory's turn to flush.

"Something about cuffs and chocolate syrup," she replied, picking up a lightweight box and concentrating on it as though it were terribly heavy.

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin waved his hand and the box floated in the air. "I've got that," he said with a smile.

If Parker was going to avoid him by being afk, well, it wasn't like he wouldn't be kind of relieved about it.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Anders blinked and turned even brighter red.

But it probably didn't help Rory's blushing that Anders started grinning very, very broadly as he pushed the boxes down the hall to the door of 213, adding, "We did kind of promise to do that sometime this week."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory flailed and nearly dropped her box.

"What's that, Anders? You say you're going to spend some time quilting with Cally?" she called too loudly. "Good to hear. Tiger."
