The bedroom is dark, but better described as grey. Some figures are evident lurking in the shadows. Nothing is truly distinct...at least until someone flicks on a lightswich.
This reveals just who is hanging around: James, Moneypenny, Lois, and Remy.
It’s Remy who pokes at the lump on the bed.
REMY: Wakey wakey.
Percy rolls over, pulling her blankets over her in a manner that resembles a cocoon.
PERCY: Mrrfl.
MONEYPENNY: (Mildly amused) There’s coffee on upstairs. I’ll bring you a cup.
She leaves the room, and Percy curls up into a little ball.
PERCY: Mrrfl.
Lois just clicks her tongue, and rips the blankets off.
LOIS: Sit your ass up. We have things to discuss.
Percy does, rubbing her eyes and looking far too mulish for her own good.
PERCY: Oh joy. The gang’s all here. (Frowns) Wait. No Babs? No Emil?
REMY: You really wanna know where those two’re at?
PERCY: Point. (sighs) Speak your piece.
JAMES: We’ve come to understand you’re going away for a while.
LOIS: Which means you’re not going to be able to fix the shit that’s going on for a bit.
REMY: An’ that poses a problem, seein’ as you’ve kinda set up something big and leaving that be is gonna drive us nuts.
LOIS: And you too. And you know it. Especially since you’ve got an even better idea of where this whole thing is going than you did with "Conflict of Interests".
PERCY: I have a day off. This is why I am currently in bed. This is why I was sleeping.
LOIS: This is why you should at least try and get some of the story out. I’m being accosted by James here.
REMY: And James is busy accostin’ me.
James looks almost offended.
JAMES: And you’re both surprised? I’m attempting to prevent -
Lois and Remy stare him down.
JAMES: Fine. Spoilers.
Moneypenny’s returned, large mug in tow, and hands it to Percy.
MONEYPENNY: Here you go.
PERCY: I like you. Did you know that? Because I do.
This earns a gracious nod from Moneypenny. Percy in turn gives the room a sweeping glance over the rim of her coffee cup.
PERCY: You all promise to behave?
No-one says anything.
PERCY: (A little more harshly now) Do you all promise to behave?
Grumbling assents are finally given.
PERCY: Okay. But someone go tell Babs and Emil they better clean up after themselves or so help me I will kill them both.
