Re: walkietalkie

[littletonoidea]

[There's the sound of wild fumbling as Eiffel nearly yeets his walkie in his excitement.]

Hey- you're back!! You're still in your room, right?

walkietalkie

[cactusy]

Yeah. Is Caffrey still out?

Re: walkietalkie

[littletonoidea]

Affirmative. Neal's still counting sheep and the end of the line isn't in sight yet.

walkietalkie

[cactusy]

For the second time in as many months?

Re: walkietalkie

[littletonoidea]

Looks like. He's been down since the start of November, we actually found him mid-coma in- uhh.

In- the library. Yeah.

walkietalkie

[cactusy]

Heard it was bad.

Re: walkietalkie

[littletonoidea]

...oh, right. You've probably already talked to Will, huh.

walkietalkie

[cactusy]

He didn't go into great detail, but I got the gist.

You haven't busted through my door yet; what gives?

Re: walkietalkie

[littletonoidea]

Am I not gonna walk in on the happy couple in their birthday suits? Figured Root'd be all over you.

walkietalkie

[cactusy]

You think I'd call you when I was naked?

[ewwwww]

[littletonoidea]

You're not naked if you're wearing a towel, kiddo.

[cactusy]

You think I wear a towel during sex?

[littletonoidea]

I think if you just had sex you're still gonna put something on before you call me 'cos being naked to do it feels weird.

[cactusy]

Yeah. They're called clothes.

[littletonoidea]

Alright, so I'll come over now then!

[cactusy]

Bring Clue. The movie, not the lame board game.

[littletonoidea]

You know, I've never actually finished that game? The rules are so stupid.

[But there's a faint clatter in the background as he searches one-handed through his DVD crate.]

Be there soon, babe. Over and out.

[cactusy]

[Shaw is not the type to like leaving her door unlocked for long periods of time - call it a New York City habit - but after she clicks off the walkie, she gets up and undoes all the deadbolts before flopping back down onto the couch.]

[themostfun]

I love Clue.

[ Root slides her arms around Shaw once she is back on the couch, less because she wants to (though she really does want to) and more because Eiffel expects it, and she wants to both annoy him and prove him right.

And for the record, she's wearing sweats and one of Shaw's hoodies. ]

[cactusy]

Why do you think I picked it.

[Shaw mumbles - poking her in the side, but then leaning heavily against her. Internally warring against exhaustion and stir-craziness is... well. Exhausting, and also inclined to make her stir-crazy. But she also clearly hasn't been out yet today: her hair is slightly damp from a shower, so she's at least been up, but she's barefoot in sweats and a tank top.]

[themostfun]

Because you also love it.

[ Can't fool her! ]

[littletonoidea]

And there's a conveniently-timed knock on the door then, before Eiffel lets himself in, covering his eyes with the Clue DVD case. "If you guys didn't put a tie on the door just to screw with me, fair warning that I do think it's hot!"

He's wearing denim jeans that are so old they've rolled back around to basically being sweats, and his good old Star Wars shirt, but he lowers it to give them a wry grin as he closes the door.

"Hey, ladies."

[cactusy]

"I have my gun on me," says Shaw, without making any move to sit up. "I will kill you."

(At least the first part of this is true. Even while wearing sweatpants in her own cabin, she has an ankle holster on.)

[themostfun]

"She won't." Root grins at him. "Sorry to disappoint you, but we're not really in the mood to give anyone a show."

[littletonoidea]

"You wouldn't kill me." With the smug satisfaction of knowing, literally, she was forced to try and failed. "Who else is gonna give you those primo signature Doug Eiffel back crackers?"

He'll move as he's talking, setting the DVD up in the player before he goes and flops onto Shaw's other side, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
