I13DT - Beware of Lion's Bearing Food

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:28 pm

Allison stopped outside Dee's lab, knocking on the door, putting her grocery bag down off to the side.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:38 pm

Inside, there's sporadic flashes brought on by the sound of welding, interspersed with what sounds like Iron Maiden.

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:41 pm

Allison opens the door and calls out trying to compete with the music, "Dee!"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:42 pm

"What?" Comes the muffled response from behind a welding mask.

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:43 pm

She hoists the insulated bag. "Dinner!"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:44 pm

"I didn't order anything!"

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:48 pm

"No, I did! Fresh from town!"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:50 pm

"Well just... give me a bloody second," she says, starting to wrap up her work as another song starts.

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 7:58 pm

"I can just leave it if that'd be easier."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 8:11 pm

"No, no, it's fine. I just need to clean up a bit."

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 8:19 pm

"If you say so," Allison said, unloading the Chinese food from the bag onto, well, wherever she could find space.

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Thu May 15, 2014 8:21 pm

"I do say so. Mind that pile of washers, there."

She finally sets the welder down and pulls back the mask to reveal her soot-smudged face.

"So, what brings this on?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Thu May 15, 2014 8:29 pm

"Thinking a friend could probably use some food," she said. "Although you'll never guess who I ran into in the garage."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri May 16, 2014 10:53 am

"I'm guessing not 'ran into' in the legally actionable sense."

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 16, 2014 10:58 am

"I'd still be out hiding the body if that happened." She chuckled, "No, I had to help put McManus' head back on straight. She actually used the term 'reality check' during the conversation."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri May 16, 2014 10:59 am

"Will wonders never cease?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 16, 2014 11:02 am

"You'd think she'd understand how to delegate things, but apparently she has a mental block there."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri May 16, 2014 11:13 am

"Oh, I could have told you that. There's a conga line going through her office, most days."

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 16, 2014 11:14 am

"We'll see if she actually listens to the advice or not," she said with a shrug. "I'm not making any bets on that."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri May 16, 2014 11:17 am

"For the best. Your track record betting against me is abysmal."

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 16, 2014 11:19 am

"I still have a chance to even out the standings. I just need to pick my next bet more carefully."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Fri May 16, 2014 12:35 pm

"Don't worry your fuzzy little head," she teases, smirking.

She heads over to peruse the food.

"Ah, this'll do nicely."

by **Allison Rogers** » Fri May 16, 2014 12:37 pm

"So what are you welding tonight?"

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:39 pm

"Some of the students are a bit rough on the exercise equipment. Athletics department asked if I couldn't see about reinforcing a few."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:42 pm

"I would imagine super strength combined with typical teenage carelessness must be really rough on them."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:43 pm

"And I suspect it amuses a few of them that they're capable of that."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:47 pm

"Of course it does," she said with a smirk. "I think I'm actually next on rotation for supervising detention. That should be interesting."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:48 pm

"If you're planning on growling at them, I think their power control teacher already tried that."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:49 pm

"Good to know. I think I can come up with something much more in keeping with my profession."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:50 pm

"Simply saying. That's what they're expecting with ferals."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 12:51 pm

"I'm new enough they may not know what I am yet, though I suppose those rumors may have already circulated."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:12 pm

"It's the first thing they always ask each other, certainly."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:19 pm

"There's something to be said for understanding the capabilities of the person sitting in the desk near you."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:23 pm

"I'll confess, I never much understood it when I was younger. You don't have to be your powers."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:26 pm

"Well, no," she said, "Exhibit 1 and 2 of that are here eating Chinese food. But it's an identity thing I think."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:32 pm

"So I don't have to worry about you donning some bizarre lion-themed costume, eh?"

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:34 pm

"I've got a training outfit," she confessed, "But it's fairly mundane, no manes or anything strange."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:38 pm

"I'm just making certain I don't have to deny your daring, crimefighting career to the students."

by **Allison Rogers** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:41 pm

"Only crimefighting I've done is in the court room," she said, raising a hand. "Scout's honor and all that."

by **Deirdre Quinn** » Mon May 19, 2014 1:43 pm

"Oh delightful, another Girl Guide."
