Fifth Floor Common Room; Wednesday Evening [ 01/14 ].

Turtle needed to get out of the room.

Trust her, if you had to deal with her boyfriend at the starts of a potential clothing crisis, you'd need to get out of the room, too.

She thought that maybe it was just best to give Jeff some space right now, so, in the PJ pants and tank top that made up the few articles of clothing that she had available to her after all was said and done,she went down to the common room to make some hot chocolate, plop on the couch, and see if there was anything good on TV.

[[ uninspired, but bored! Open CR is open! ]]

Hurley wandered into the common room in shorts and a t-shirt, with a blanket sort of draped over him.

"Dude, the laundry machines are mean," he said.

Turtle looked over at Hurley and offered a sympathetic smile. "They just want to be recognized for their hard work and efforts, is all," she, a very sympathetic type of employer, said, although part of her tone was agreeing with Hurley still. "At least the furnaces are still kicking?"

"Dude, if they gave up?" Hurley said. "I think I'd cry."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"I could probably make a killing on blankets at the store, though," Turtle mused.

Hurley chuckled. "Always thinking on your feet. Awesome," he said.

Turtle shrugged, but she looked rather pleased with herself. "Clothing has been on a pretty good up-rise this week. I really can't complain too much."

"You marking the prices up at all?" Hurley lightly teased.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely not!" Turtle's offense was mostly theatrical. Mostly. "You can always expect to find only the best prices at Turtle & Canary, Hurley, always. I would never exploit a crisis for my own financial benefit. That's just not how we do business."

Most of the time, anyway.

"Oh, sorry," Hurley said. "I didn't mean to, like, offend your business' honor. My apologies." He was laughing throughout that whole statement.

Marco came into the room in his boxers (with Rat-man on them) and a rather ghastly Hawaiian print shirt. And flip-flops. "Hey Turtle."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"You did get the memo, right?" Turtle asked, trying hard not to laugh but finding it rather difficult. "That it's winter?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco pretended to not have a clue what she was talking about. "Here in Hawaii, it's always sunny."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"What?" Turtle asked. "A coconut hit you in the head or something, Marco?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Why else would I be walking around like this? I mean, it's not like the laundry ate my clothes or anything."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Of course not," Turtle agreed, nodding solemnly, and then took a moment to give the ensemble another look-over.

"Cute boxers."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

Marco grinned and gave her a thumbs up. "Thanks!"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle just looked at Marco for a moment after that as if to gauge whether he actually thought she was serious, and had no reason to think that he had thought otherwise.

She shook her head. "Should have pegged you for a Ratman fan, really."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Oh totally." Marco nodded, not giving away whether he thought she was serious (because he did). "I have like four boxes full of Ratman comics at home."

"Hey dude," Hurley said. "How's not being a vending machine?"

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"Very mobile." Marco said.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"You okay?" Hurley asked. "You seemed kinda... out of it."

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"I had just been un-vending machined by crashing on top of someone." Marco pointed out. I was kind of keen on making sure I had all my proper organs.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Did you?" Hurley asked. That seemed important.

[morpherboy.livejournal.com]

"YES" It was very important.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley nodded. "Good to hear it, dude," he said. "Just... wanted to make sure you were cool."
