"You know, no matter how many times I've come in here I don't think I've ever seen you doing anything that looks anything like work." Duo leaned against the doorframe watching the head of security curiously. He at least tried to stay on the self defense teacher's good side since Temari seemed to like him so much and the guy actually seemed pretty decent. It was his way of trying to make up for the fact that Sanji seemed to hate his guts more or less.

"Next time there's one of those stupid 'what do you want to be when you grow up?' questions I'm going to put your job down."

[fairerthandeath]

"Hey, I'll have you know I do a lot of work. I just don't like to be caught doing it."

He grins and flicks a rubber band in Duo's general direction.

"So, how can I help you? Or are you just here to steal supplies." He leans back dangerously in his computer chair (this one he cant rock and fall over in, huge advantage) and rummages around behind the desk. "I managed to install a mini fridge, I'm thinking of charging people for its contents. Make a fortune in the summer."

"Don't want people thinking you actually work hard, huh?"

You know, for a security guy he's not so bad. Way cooler than the last one that's for sure.

"Eh, I was bored and had nothing to do really so thought I'd crash in on your office. I've got this goal where one day I'll swing by and actually see you working. I'm all up for supplies though if you're offering." Like hell he'd turn down free stuff. "Can't you just bill it to the school or something? Budget it into your expenses or whatever."

[fairerthandeath]

"Bad for my image. Besides, if you work too hard people give you more work."

He throws a can of soda in Duo's vague direction the sets another on the desk.

"And that isn't a bad idea. Maybe I can claim them as... office supplies." He opens his own can with a frown and eyes the collection of papers on his desk. "You know any of these missing kids?"

[livebymysmile]

"You know, when I use that excuse for homework they just tend to throw more at me instead."

Grabbing the soda is easy, making sure that it doesn't explode when he opens it is not.

"Makes sense to me. I'd totally give you the green light for it." His smiled slipped a little at the question. "Yeah. I know some of them real well." One of his best friends was mentioned in those papers.

[fairerthandeath]

He winces and shakes his head.

"You know, I can't get my head around this. I mean -- I get it; out here anything's possible, million to one odds etc. But this is really weird."

[livebymysmile]

"Can't get your head around what exactly? Conversations go better if you actually explain what you're talking about."

He's curious now though, what was really weird?

[fairerthandeath]

He winces -- then picks up a couple of pieces of paper and flicks them in Duo's vague direction. They have dates -- way back in the past, and approximate locations of where some students may be.

"Theories on where the missing students went. Seriously, if there's one thing Forward to the past taught me it's that time travel can create all kinds of weird problems."

[livebymysmile]

"Time travel?" He skims over the pages quickly, face actually looking serious for once.

"So guess it proves that time really is linear and not circular like some people have thought, huh? Because I doubt Al would have gone this long without noticing that his name was on the Declaration of Independence by now if it was otherwise."

[fairerthandeath]

"I prefer not to think of the implications at all. The idea of how much trouble they could be causing gives me a headache."

[livebymysmile]

"Whatever it is, you shouldn't worry about it too much. I mean it's already in the past right?"
