Liberty University 2

[Mashiara]

Thursday night and Key is sitting down to complete her case study on a particularly depressed amputee at the Advanced Center for Rehabilitation Medicine. Her somewhat empty apartment is silent as she snuggles into her bean bag chair and grabs her briefcase... DAMMIT, How did I forget the reports down at the hospital?

Grabbing her keys she heads to the door, If the report wasn't needed tomorrow she'd skip it, but being the forever procrastinator of course she has put it off until the night before she must discuss her findings with the professor.

Reaching the hospital she hopes that the guard will let her into the records room after hours... standing there in her tiny tank top, PJ bottoms and fuzzy blue slippers she doubts he'll believe she's as real employee...

"Excuse me Miss.. Just where do you think your going?

"Oh um, your not Jerry... Hi I am a um intern... err.. student I need to get into the records to write my report..."

"oh that was smooth Key!"

"You don't look like no student? Where's your ID?"

digging through my pockets realizing that of course everything is at home on the floor

"I don't have it... can't you just call Jerry, or Dr. Stephens he'll tell you, I've just gotta get that report!"

"No ID No Records its that simple little miss so if you don't get your ID out now you need to leave and come back tomorrow after 9am when the records department is actually OPEN!"

whining further won't help my case I can see that so I slowly begin the walk back to my old car hoping that the evening guard will have a change of heart and call me back

With a sign Alex closes his textbook with a dramatic flourish. "That's it, I'm done. I can't look at another word right now. Think I'm going to make a run to the snack shop. Want to come with Penny?" His slight Russian accent is particularly pronounced right now, showing his restlessness.

[Squall]

Erik, pulls up as close to the hospital without volating parking regulations and sets his motorcycle ready to leave.

As he begins to walk up to the front door he notices a woman in nightware speaking with the gaurd. Erik smiles to himself thinking that some freshmen never get enough sleep.

He walks past her and althogh she seems noticably discouraged Erik slows down and pops off a joke in the hopes to make her smile a bit.

"You'd probably get better 'zults if you were a lil' more professional cher'"

[Mashiara]

visibly annoyed she says "Excuse me, What did you say?"

[Squall]

"I didn't realize my english waz so poor. Je suis désolée. I was mearly saying the security here like the stuffy kind. don't you know?"

[Mashiara]

sizing up this antagonist she realizes he must be 6'2" and very well built, its kind of dim in the parking lot but he has the potential to be quite attractive... why are the attractive ones always so unforgiveably annoying???

"So you don't think he liked my outfit? Is that what your saying.... whatever your name is? You better get your ID out before the KGB agent up there kicks you off the grounds as well!"

[Squall]

Erik smiled.

"I don't tink he's russian but mon ami son nom est Richard he knows me from last year. I don't quite have need for I.D. That leads me to ask, what are you here for?"

[Mashiara]

"Oh yanno for kicks I jumped outta bed and decided tonight was the big night, tonight was the night for me to try and break in to the records department in my PJ's!"

[Squall]

"Oh well, in that case I can see why the gaurds wouldn't let you in. I hear there is a rash of pajamma theives going around."

Erik gave her a sly wink and started off towards the front doors.

[Mashiara]

"Wait! look I'm a psych student and I need to get the files I left here earlier on accident, can you help me?" pausing for a moment "Or shall I try it naked tomorrow.. yanno to be different than all these other pajama thieves around?"

[Squall]

Erik stalled a moment then; "As much as de journalis class needs a good headline, I'm sure showing up naked on te fron door of de hospital wouldn't be de best way to get rave reviews for your final written"

[Mashiara]

"Sarcastic humor is just lost on you, isn't it?" Key said with a sigh "Look if you'll help me get the files, I'll even indulge you and let you follow me all the way back to my apartment to see my REAL ID, I've just gotta get those files now... while i'm still young enough to do the report."

Do I really want this guy this stranger following me home? I'd better come up with something fast!!!

"Well maybe um... you could have coffee with me at the union tomorrow mornin' and I can show you then" yea that was smooth "I'll even buy the coffee, c'mon darlin please help as sweet texas girl out" Key bats her eyelashes in an obviously overdone manner.

[Squall]

"Sarcasim is not lost or wasted on me mon chere. I'll let you get your reports, if you allow me to accompany you to your apartment for a cup of coffee."

Erik smiled and waved to the gaurd and the gaurd waved back and verbalized a greeting to Erik.

[Mashiara]

"To my um... Apartment.. I don't even know your name!" obviously shaken "Just what are your intentions Bayou boy?" flashing a big smile up at him.

[Squall]

Erik takes her hand as if to shake it then kisses her knuckles.

"Erik D'bois is my name, and coffee would be my intention. Mebe we could throw down some diamonds while we're at it, hmmm?"
