Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:49 pm"Mind if I ask? I'm James by the way." James said, extending a hand.

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:53 pm"James Moran, of course.
Douglas Decker."
He didn't take the hand, busy as he was, focusing on the cable.

Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:57 pm"We are....reconnecting the new dorm buildings. The old system is......complicated."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:57 pm"Okay, now I'm more curious. Complicated how?"
Re: Runnin' Cable

Attempts to get root access have been...challenging."

Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 6:57 pmRose stopped and looked at Douglas for a moment.
And then she tried to take off with the cord still in her mouth.

He was...well out of shape.

Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:15 pmRose was fast but clumsy. She quickly got tangled up in the cable she refused to let go of and fell over, thrashing wildly.
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2011 7:38 pmDoug caught up a moment later.
"What on earth are you DOING?" he said, somewhat agitadely.
For him, at least

Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 2:44 pm"Rope trap? You must be joking."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:14 pmRose attempts to kick Douglas in the shins by way of a mature and adult response.
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 5:16 pmDoug....had no idea how to deal with such a creature, and just stood there, blinking.
"Invalid response."

Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 9:40 pm"Is not, stupid computer man," Rose says, lunging at Douglas in an attempt to bite him. The cable caught her and pulled her back to the ground roughly.
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:22 pm"Replace the cable immediately."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:34 pm"Mine!"
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:46 pm"The school's."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:11 am"Mine now, stupid!" Rose shouts, "Finders, keepers."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:13 am"Do not make me submit you to disciplinary action."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:20 am"Don't make me scratch your beady little eyes out you stupid little man," Rose snaps back, finally freeing herself from the cable and holding it protectively in her hands.

Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:30 amRoses hisses, her fur standing out on end in an attempt to make herself look bigger.
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 1:43 pmDoug just raised an eyebrow, and stood there, arms crossed.
"Rosemary. Now."
"Rosemary. Now."
Re: Runnin' Cable
Posted: Thu Oct 13, 2011 6:27 pmRose kicks Douglas in the shins again.
This was looking to be a frustrating day for Douglas.
