Town Hall, Wednesday

Jul 02, 2008 06:52

D'Argo had made it to town hall after his secretary insisted things had to be done. And now that he was here, he was shivering and thinking he wasn't leaving till they moved again.

Frelling cold. Bring back Africa.

If you have some pressing need or something.

Joanna barged into D'Argo's office. She didn't bother knocking.

D'Argo looked up at her, making a note to fire the secretary. Except for how he wouldn't.

"Unless you have blankets, you can wait like everyone else," he said. There was no 'everyone else'. He just liked saying that.

Joanna ignored his comment. She also couldn't bring herself to look at the thing dangling off his face, so she kept firm eye contact. "I demand that you move this island somewhere with a suitable climate," she said. "I have men standing on the deck of my yacht with poles, pushing the ice chunks away to keep them from denting the hull. And," more importantly, "the bulk of my winter wardrobe is in storage at my country home in France."

"Lady, if I could, believe me, I'd have done it days ago," he said with all the patience- or lack thereof- of someone who'd spent years dealing with a Hynerian dominar, and now that he thought about it, Rygel would have gotten along with this woman. "But since I can't, that's just more reason for you to but a new winter wardrobe."

Re: Talk to D&#39;Argo joanna_stayton July 3 2008, 01:39:34 UTC

There was much rolling of the eyes. "As if this island could possible provide me anything close to adequate options for an entire new wardrobe."

She placed her hands on the desk and leaned forward, her cleavage very much in his line of sight. "Tell me, Mayor, what exactly do you do? I pay an obscene amount in taxes, and if I think the island needs to be moved, I think you need to figure out a way to make it happen."

She actually had no clue if she paid taxes or not. It just seemed the thing to say to a politician.

"Well, I don't collect your taxes so I can give some suggestions on where you can stick that claim..."

Joanna straightened back and crossed her arms. "So typical," she said. "I'll never understand why pea-brained men have to resort to such base speech. I guess it's to be expected."

She sighed. "What if I was to slip you half a million dollars? Could you move the island then?"

Re: Talk to D&#39;Argo iqof39 July 3 2008, 01:54:29 UTC

D'Argo shook his head. See? Rygel. "Nope," he said, making sure that last sound sort of popped when he said it.

Re: Talk to D&#39;Argo joanna_stayton July 3 2008, 02:14:15 UTC

She expected as much. "I can't say I'm surprised. You don't strike me as someone who can get things done."

Her time was precious, so she turned to leave. Andrew was supposed to do her toes today.

Re: Talk to D&#39;Argo iqof39 July 3 2008, 02:19:41 UTC

D'Argo resisted the urge to tongue her- not dirty. Because then she might come back.

But she would probably be gone then before he came up with a witty comeback.
