Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 8:40 pmAllison walks in, not really paying attention as she crosses to the coffee pot to get her own cup when she notices who's there ahead of her. She freezes in place, trying to decide if she can do without coffee today.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 8:54 pm"It *would* make my life easier." She was still keeping her distance.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:02 pm"Look, I may have overdone it a bit with the antagonism and I apologize. It was uncalled for." At least at this point.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:06 pm"I may be new here, but I've been around the block long enough to know when I'm being used. And I *was* being used. So apologies are a little premature at this point."

Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:23 pm"We're not arguing justification here. I don't really care how she saw it." It was just possible that Allison had been brooding.
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:27 pm"I'm not trying to justify anything. The last time I got into a less-than-serious fight with somebody she got jealous so take that as you will as for why she enjoyed this."

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:35 pm"That's... that's just screwed up."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:44 pm"She prefers the word strange, but you're not entirely wrong, I suppose." she shrugs.
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 9:50 pmAllison finally poured her cup of coffee, sipping at it in a dark, thoughtful silence for a bit.

Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 10:15 pmAllison gave a disbelieving snort. "I don't believe that for a minute."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 10:21 pm"Okay, fine, there's a little bit of that." she begrudgingly admits. "But that's not what motivates it. It's not exactly easy to explain unless you're particularly versed or interested in mysticism."

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 10:55 pm"Having met her, it might be both," she said, rubbing her temples. "I was a fool to take this job. My secretary said so, but I thought she was just mad about me leaving."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:02 pm"It's a lot to take in." she says not condescendingly at all.
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:06 pm"Yeah... yeah it is. Maybe too much," she said absently as she wandered back towards the door.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:08 pm"Of all the things to call you I didn't think 'quitter' would be one of them."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:11 pm"Under other circumstances, I might agree with you. I realize we got off on a bad foot, but I'd appreciate it if you'd do me a favor. Swing by my office this afternoon. I'll have the letter ready and I'd appreciate if you'd take it to her for me."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:16 pmNailah quirks an eyebrow. "You should probably talk to her yourself."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:22 pm"No... no I really don't think I should," she said, looking pointedly back at Nailah. "I've trespassed in your territory long enough. The quicker I'm out, the better it will be for all concerned."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:26 pm"Suit yourself, but I'm not going to do it for you."
Re: I13DT - Teachers Lounge
Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:32 pm"Fair enough," she said, any trace of feline dignity gone from her frame. She poured her mug down the small lounge sink and rinsed it out, before finally managing to make it out the door.

Posted: Sun May 04, 2014 11:42 pm"What the hell just happened here?" she is forced to ask herself.
