Construction Site: Wednesday, 6/6

[needsaparrot]

Today, the guys from NPC Construction have a large crane - yeah, that must've been a sight coming across the causeway - set up, working on some of the collapsed upper levels.

"If I didn't mention stay away from the big equipment before?" Xander says. "Which I did? This would be me mentioning it today. If you're not invulnerable or already dead, getting hit in the head with a wrecking-ball doesn't make for the best work-day. And even if you are, it packs a pretty big headache. Which can actually be useful if you're fighting an invulnerable demon or say, a hellgod? But we're not. So. Stick to the safety areas."

Why was Anders being stubborn enough to try and bait her? Why? He had no idea. He was just in a mood to mock Conner today. The pink hard hat made it easy.

"I didn't have to allude. I know," he replied. "Been there, done that, moved on to something better."

He pointed out toward the construction site. "And come on, he wears a pink hard hat."

"You most certainly did not! And... he is much more awesome than that prancing guy you are watching. I like his pink hat. It makes it easier for me to find him."

Gwynn was fairly bristling with rage over what Anders was saying he had done with Conner. "How dare you insult him by lying in that manner?"

Anders held his hands up. "Hey, fine, don't believe me if you don't want to. Just . . . chill, okay? I'm not checking him out, you're not checking Bel out, we don't have to worry about stepping on each other's territory."

Beat.

"He is so not more awesome than Bel. Who doesn't prance, what the frak?"

"I think I shall have to beat you," Gwynn said quite calmly.

But how to arrange a fight without Conner finding out?

Anders laughed, although internally he was flailing a little bit. "You obviously haven't met my girlfriend. Lay a hand on me and you'll have her and Bel to answer to."

Re: Ogle

Gwynn shrugged. "I can take her out from afar if I need to." She looked at him stonily. "You have lied about and insulted my boyfriend and I will avenge that."

Re: Ogle

Anders couldn't decide if this was an act, or if Conner really hadn't told her; if it was the latter, he kind of felt sorry for her.

"Ask him yourself," he replied with a shrug, then narrowed his eyes. "Did you seriously just threaten my girlfriend?"

Now re-evaluating that "feeling sorry for her" bit . . .

Re: Ogle

"You threatened me with her first," she pointed out.

Re: Ogle

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Did not!" protested Anders -- which was, of course, a total lie.

Re: Ogle

It was amazing she hadn't hit him already, it really was.

"We will meet in the gym tomorrow and we will deal with the insults you have given."

Re: Ogle

Hmm. Before Phoebe's workshop, or after? Which way would get him yelled at less?

"Fine," Anders said tightly -- more to keep his voice from cracking than out of animosity. "Tomorrow, in the gym, before lunch."

Maybe he could talk her into a game of H-O-R-S-E . . . ?
