Construction Site: Wednesday August 22nd, all day

[needsaparrot]

If you noticed a Xander-less construction site for most of the morning, you weren't imagining things. It took him a while to hop there from MCA.

He really should have called somebody and asked them to put up a sign, but he might be just a little stubborn. Maybe.

There's paintbrushes, there's a grim-faced guy sitting next to the paint-cans looking lazy but he's not, and there's still music playing. Loudly.

Morning

[needsaparrot]

There's still paint and brushes, but no Xander yet.

Stark was there, brush in hand.
This song wasn't so bad.

Bel wondered if he could paint a target on the top of Umbridge's office. Just because.

Re: Morning

[needsaparrot]

You know, if Bel started doing something like that, Xander would probably conveniently not notice, once he arrived.

Re: Morning

[demonbelthazor]

Given that Xander had not arrived yet, Bel casually picked up a bucket of red paint and shimmered to the roof above Umbridge's office. Plz drop bomb here.

Lunch

[needsaparrot]

That'd be right around when he comes hopping onto the site.

He didn't bring doughnuts this time, so you're on your own.

Bridge, on the other hand, did bring doughnuts. Because he had a feeling sugar might be needed if he *had* gone to see Umbridge yesterday.

"Are you okay?" he asks, skipping right past the traditional "hey".

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

Xander doesn't get up, just waves and forces a smile. "Still breathing."

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"You're not standing up," Bridge notes. "Why aren't you standing up? What did she do? Did she hurt you? She's so dead."

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

Xander makes an attempt to stand up, and... well, he doesn't fall over. Quite. "I'm fine. She locked my legs together. Guessing it'll wear off - everybody else's seems to have."

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Whoa," Bridge reaches out to lend a hand in the whole not-falling-over thing. "Mine wore off overnight. You've been like this since *yesterday*? How did you get home? How did you get *here*?"

Re: Lunch

[needsaparrot]

Xander rubs the back of his neck, looking slightly sheepish. "Just call me Hopalong Harris."

Re: Lunch

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge just gives him a look and sighs. "You couldn't have at least called a rickshaw cab?"

Afternoon

[needsaparrot]

Hey, at least You are not the boss of me now... is slightly less crazymaking than Celine.

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

Okay, maybe the song was crazymaking. But again, how could you really tell when you were not very sane to start with?

Re: Afternoon

[demonbelthazor]

Bel kept giving Xander strange looks during the afternoon, wondering what was with the hopping. Undoubtedly Umbridge was involved.

Ogle

[needsaparrot]

For watching ... paint dry.

Or Xander try to hop around the site.

Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

Because he's in a great mood, yeah.

Despite the haze, Isabel was still wearing a pair of dark sunglasses (http://umbitch.livejournal.com/6046.html?thread=706462#t706462) when she made her way out to the construction site to look for Xander.

Even though he would have gotten the email saying she was coming back, she still wanted to see him. She also wanted to make sure he was okay after being called in to see Umbridge yesterday.

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"Roomie!" Xander didn't stand up to hug her, despite how much he'd have liked to, but he did wave at her. He even managed to break his scowl for a moment to smile.

Re: Talk to Xander

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Favorite Roomie!" Isabel smiled as she made her way over to him, all the while carefully looking for signs of what that woman did to him. The not getting up for a hug was the first clue.

"What did she do to you? Are you okay?"

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"Stuck my legs together. I'll live." How sad was it that Xander wasn't even surprised she immediately guessed he'd been Umbridged? It made him take a second look at the sunglasses, though, and the scowl returned. "What about you? I'm guessing the new shades aren't a souvenir from your trip home."

Re: Talk to Xander

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No trip home. Well at least, I only went as far as Roswell."

Isabel leaned down and gave him a hug. "She got me with some spell that makes my eyes sting and burn like hell. But I figure it's temporary, and honestly I've had worse. So I'll deal. I won't give the heinous bitch the satisfaction of seeing me look uncomfortable."

Re: Talk to Xander

[needsaparrot]

"Good times." The tone didn't match the words. "Familiar times; reminds me of Skeeter, only with the crazycakes revved up to eleven."
