The Roof, Monday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Well, that was it for another term of workshops, then, and now there was a week to look forward to not a heck of a lot of anything at all.

Zack, of course, was going to kick that off by attempting to get in touch with the Director back in Midgar, to see if there was any important work for him yet. That phone call was met with no answer from Lazard, and so little success. That idea having fallen through, Zack decided to default straight to... Plan B.

...

The view of the clouds was way more awesome from the roof than it was down on the ground! And, in a rare moment of something not unlike planning ahead, Zack had even brought lemonade.

Now he was all set for whatever break week could throw at him, oh yes.

[Open roof, open post! Hi!]

"What kind of peril?" he asked, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

Karla shrugged. "Well, Arcerian cats are about 800 pounds of hungry muscle and they also have Craft--err, magic. And, ummm, people can be jerks no matter where you go?"

"So, what are the chances I'd succeed in this quest?" he wondered.

"Very low," Karla said sadly. "We don't actually know where our Jewels come from. They just appear on the altar during the Birthright and Offering Ceremonies. But you could be the one to discover that!" she added, helpfully.

"You're trying to send me on a death quest!" Hannibal laughed. "Why? I'm too adorable to die."

"I have complete faith you would make it home in one piece," Karla assured him with a grin.

Then a thought occurred to her. "Or perhaps I've simply decided that if we can't have your arms and chest anymore, no one can!" She forewent the mad cackle--hangover, remember.

That surprised a laugh out of Hannibal. "That's an ingenious way of being selfish. I kind of like the way your mind works."

[glacial_queen]

Karla grinned up at him. "When it comes to being selfish and getting my way, I promise I can be very creative," she said. "It's nice to meet someone who can appreciate that!"

"Just make sure you tell my girlfriend what you're planning so it doesn't surprise her," he told her. "Wouldn't wanna make her miss me too much."

"I'll mention it at the slumber party if she comes," Karla promised. "After a few pink girly drinks to help her absorb the shock."

Karla was kind like that.
