Newspaper Staff Meeting, 4 pm, Journalism Room

[the_merriest]

Rikku was bouncing to herself and humming while she waited for the rest of the paper staff to show up.

Of course she brought pastries and coffee. Not bringing pastries and coffee was like asking wild animals to gnaw on you. Newspaper folks could get seriously cranky without their donuts, okay?!

"I had an article about how no one should be surprised that those clowns had nefarious intentions," Cal stated, "but I got, uh, distracted." By, you know, breaking up with his girlfriend.

"I've got my fingers crossed for this week. If not, I've got something in mind about ice cream."

He'd eaten a lot of it a few nights ago, shut up.

"That's okay," Rikku said. "Things get crazy around here. Even when they're not crazy. It's a regular thing. What about the ice cream? Is it attacking people?"

Look, it was Fandom.

"Uh, no," Cal said. "It's just really tasty."

He patted his stomach for a very deadpanned emphasis.

"That's hardly weird," she laughed. "Unless the weird bit is how ice cream is one of the few things that hasn't ever been weird around here. That's pretty interesting."

She'd probably jinxed it, right there.

Cal shrugged a little. "The weird angle's losing some punch. I was just thinking of a 'hey, in case you didn't know, ice cream? Is tasty.' I wouldn't be surprised if some people around here didn't realize that. If anything, it would be a good PSA."

"PSAs, with your host, Cal," Rikku grinned. "I like it."

"Maybe," Cal nodded, grinning back because he was kind of liking it, too, "if this whole weird thing continues to offer me nothing but fail, I'll have to switch gears to that."

Especially since he totally had the ice cream one half-written in his head now.

"You could rotate between the two," she grinned. "Or do a few and then find something else. Whatever works. Heck, I once made up a holiday for a column of mine, last year."
