Wow Maddy got a promotion at the station, which is a yay thing except she's going to live there even more than she does now if I know her. Maybe I should get Jack to give me one of those walkie talkies so I can tell her to come home once in a while. I don't mind visiting the station but you know cops think it's funny when you're there to kiss

*looks up from her tool chest when Xander approaches*

Hey Harris, what's up?

[zeppoxander]

Hey Davidov, wow that just doesnt' roll off the tongue the same was does it? Davidov. Nope not so much.

*sits*

So. Yeah I was hoping to run something by you before I told everyone because I'm hoping that it's gonna happen, but if it doesn't I don't want to be like the clown that cancelled Christmas and if I tell everyone hopes may be up. Then if it doesn't happen hopes may be dashed, and I don't want to be the dasher.

And I just made a lot of christmas references, time to cut back on the sugar for me.

[tatiana_davidov]

*raises an eyebrow*

Or at least share the sugar.

*grins and takes a seat across from him*

So run it by me, this thing that could be like christmas but isn't.

[zeppoxander]

Um, yeah tell me when I reach overly sugared moron status ok?

See I got kind of crazy a few weeks ago and sent this proposal in to the mayor, and I figured he kind of laughed and set it on fire or something. But then I get this phone call saying to show up on friday to discuss it.

Oh yeah I won't be here friday.

[tatiana_davidov]

*tilts her head and studies him*

Nope, you're not up to overly sugared moron status yet.

Well, but isn't that a good thing? Getting a contract from the Mayor means big money and that can only make you look like a smart man, not a crazy one.

But then, your boss probably doesn't know you're crazy like we do around here.

And why do I care that you won't be here friday, do I get to be in charge or something?

[zeppoxander]

Well yeah if he isn't making me show up to laugh at me in person, and I may take a sedative before I go so I don't talk like this mind you.

Thing is, if we get the contract it's for you guys, my crew, not our boss. We'll be sort of our own entity after that instead of just another crew for the corporate greed. Um instead it'll be about our own greed. sort of.

*grins*

Thanks for volunteering.

[tatiana_davidov]

Oh yeah? I'm all for our own greed, I could use a raise, maybe a bonus too if you get this for us. You know, since I'm listening to you right now and all.

And my advice? Cut it down to one donut friday morning and skip the sedative. You don't want to be so mellow you let him talk your price down.

*smiles*

Shit, knew I shouldn't have said anything about being in charge.

[zeppoxander]

*laughs and points*

You volunteered fair and square!

Right one donut, no sedative, no caffeine and wear something grown up that has no cartoon characters on it.

[tatiana_davidov]

*swats his hand away and laughs*

Did not, you tricked me!

Yeah, skip the Superman t-shirt and go for a suit. You do own one of those, don't you?

[zeppoxander]

I did not trick you! You should know better than to bring that up as it's known in our organisation as desire to do the job being inquired about.

Hmm, suit. Well not the suit I got married in, they wouldn't like the sequins.

I think so, somewhere in the dark recesses of my closet. Of course it might be the one I got for the prom.

Maybe i should shop.

[tatiana_davidov]

*rolls her eyes*

Gee, thanks for telling me the rules after the fact.

*raises an eyebrow and smirks*

You have a suit with sequins? Never should've told me that, Harris. I've got blackmail material on you now.

And let me guess; you're prom suit has the shirt with the ruffles too, doesn't it? Yeah, I'd say you need to shop for something more than t-shirts and donuts every once in a while.

[zeppoxander]

Ok, you know for someone who dresses like the girl in flashdance you have no need to mock my clothing.

And never mention the suit. ever. Or I will find some torturous method of payback that will probably backfire in my face and make me even more a fool, you'd like to spare me that wouldn't you?
