Mauvaise Chance Lobby/Office, Thursday [2/1] , all day

[needsaparrot]

There's a frog-tank on the counter.

...there's also a Xander, yes, poking at the computers in between making phone calls and searching through desk drawers trying to find anything that looks like blueprints for the brand-new floors that suddenly appeared in the sub-basement. As such things do

And there was a Peter who was definitely, definitely very tentative about coming in here. He opened the door carefully. "Good afternoon?"

[needsaparrot]

Jeremiah croaked at the newcomer, and Xander looked up from a set of building plans that definitely didn't include hidden apartments in the basement.

"Peter, hey!" It'd been long enough that his first thought wasn't of the last time he'd seen Willow's boyfriend; more that they hadn't spoken yet as themselves, since he'd been back.

[once_a_king]

Peter grinned at Xander, happy to not talk about the last time they'd met. "Xander. Welcome back. How do you do?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander rubbed his forehead, then tapped the blueprints in front of him. "Apparently I do pretty well, since I suddenly have a hallway. Also an apartment building, but the hallway is suddener."

After library duty- and making sure that Anders is hanging out with Wyatt and not by himself- Bridge heads out to town and the apartments.

"Hi!" he calls out as he enters the lobby.

[needsaparrot]

Xander, on the phone after finally getting through to London, waved and beckoned him in. "So yeah, that's the deal. She's not coming in, but she does need somebody. It sounds like maybe she got sent back here because she needs training. At least that's part of it."

[bridge_carson]

Bridge waves back and sets his "Assistant Assistant" sign on the counter before going to sit down- and glancing around to see if he can spot where the temperature control is because it freezing in here or *what*? Seriously.

[needsaparrot]

Xander blinked, then grinned at the sign, then returned his attention to the phone. And Buffy, since he'd actually caught her on one of her rare moments at HQ. "I know everybody's bus--"

"Andrew's free, actually. He's been in the office for three hours and already I feel the need to give him a job that'll take at least a year. Think this would do?"

Xander stared at the phone.

"Xander?"

Nope, still staring.

After visiting M and grabbing *two* mochas at the Perk, Parker headed over to visit Xander. Clutching yet another mocha. God, she was tired.

"Hey, Manager Man. Dry walling anyone into a wall yet?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander blinked. "...dirty?"

[mparkerceo]

Parker considered that for a moment, then blinked. "Maybe?" She took a sip of her coffee and grinned, sitting down in the swivel chair and surveying Xander's domain. "You'd know better than I would."

[needsaparrot]

"I haven't...uh... done anything with walls besides knock them down since I got to the island," Xander answered. Not that he hadn't come close, thankfully-not-dirty.
