MCA #0, Thursday Morning

[needsaparrot]

"Shut up." Xander was not talking to a frog. At all.

Okay, maybe it'd be more accurate to say Xander was not speaking to the frog. What? Jeremiah kept staring at him.

"Did Giles put you up to this? Dawn?" Xander had a unique definition of 'not speaking,' yes.

"Rideep?" //Cricketplz?//

"I'm so not having this discussion with you. And not just because I don't speak Frog."

Xander wasn't talking to a frog; he was putting a frog tank in the bedroom.

"No, I'm just saying Mr. Lyman's right." Xander eyed slide 10. "And so is someone whose last name rhymes with Tevensie. On the respecting decisions front."

"Mr. Lyman said you should go for it," Willow replied. "And Peter managed to out-British Giles. I didn't realize that was possible."

[needsaparrot]

"Mr. Lyman said the thing about consenting adults. And also something about hookers. Which I'm not planning on, but if the guideline is potential, well, it's always possible."

Willow frowned at him. "Maybe we should go back to the pie chart."

[needsaparrot]

"I saw the pie chart. I think your statistical sample may be a little skewed there, though." Willow wasn't the only one who could give Looks.

Which was right about the time the screen flipped over to Slide 11.

"I included the input from Mr. GOB!" Willow replied, defensively.

[needsaparrot]

Xander was to busy staring at the one that started Damn Frakking Right I do to offer an opinion on how relevant GOB's opinion was, though.

Willow was quiet, because she knew when a BFF needed thinky time.

[needsaparrot]

"That wasn't fair," Xander said when the slide moved on, and he'd swallowed past the tightness in his throat.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am nothing if not thorough," Willow replied.

[needsaparrot]

Xander said nothing while he let the rest of the show play through to the end.

"You can't take away my twinkies, y'know," he finally pointed out, voice still strained. "Unless you steal my phone."

"I am prepared to fight dirty if I have to," Willow said. Then, mostly to herself, added, "Which is what I needed to do to get a quote out of Peter but we're talking about you now."

[needsaparrot]

"We could talk about you and Peter being dir-- no. No, we can't."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"This would be my point," Willow agreed.

[needsaparrot]

"It's a good presentation," Xander offered, reaching for the popcorn bowl.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I'm proud of the clip art," Willow said. She put the bowl between them so they could share. "Did you see I made the frog purple? Also note the overall green color scheme."

[needsaparrot]

"The pie chart, though statistically questionable, also shiny."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Are you really challenging my spreadsheet?" Willow asked. "Because that sort of talk means I'll have to ask you to step outside, and you know that won't go well for you."

[needsaparrot]

"Nope. Outside's dangerous. I put a bottle of rum out there on Monday night and I never saw it again."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I miss the little penguins," Willow said. In Fandom, that was a respectable segue. "I hope they're enjoying their scarves, where ever they are."

[needsaparrot]

"I hope they liked the rum better than it liked me, if they're the ones who took it," Xander said.

"Slide shows are better than drinking," Willow told him.

[needsaparrot]

Xander glanced at The End on the screen. "There could be slide shows with drinking. This could be one of those."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Want a sip of my soda?" Willow offered.

[needsaparrot]

"Not quite what I had in mind." Though Xander didn't stand up to go get anything else.
