[CW: Discussion of cancer]

[Guess what has two thumbs and is awake, Barge? And guess what’s also reasonably unperturbed by falling into a Barge coma? THIS GUY.]

So in case some of you idiots didn’t know, it’s October, which means in addition to pumpkin spice lattes and slutty Halloween costumes sold on every corner, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month. [Archer holds up a little pink ribbon; there’s another one pinned to the lapel of his suit.] Nobody should have to go through this disease, because except for the medical marijuana it freaking sucks. So show some support, guys, wear a ribbon. And if you haven’t gotten checked lately, run through the self-exam or hit up the doctors in the infirmary. I’m sure they’d be happy to help. [It says something about how serious he is that he doesn’t make any jokes about this. Not even a crack about mammograms.]

And speaking of slutty Halloween costumes, who’s throwing the party? Is it BYOB?

[Private; Rogue]
Uh, pub?

Pub.

You realize I'm going to stay here and play it whether you like it or not.

[mistconduct]

You realize you can't force me to watch it.

[codename_duchess]

Well, you say that.

[mistconduct]

Get out of my fucking space, you James Bond knock-off!

[codename_duchess]

Hey! HEY. I am WAY better than that pussy excuse for a secret agent!

[mistconduct]

Uh, bull shit. You're like the guy that chases around the Pink Panther.

[Private] It's a complete secret

[la_belle_rogue]

No. It's personal. We can meet somewhere else.

[Private]

[codename_duchess]

Okay. Well I, personally, want a drink.

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Ah'm not surprised. [She has glanced at your file, Archer. She can't meditate all the time.] But we're still not meetin' in the pub.

[Private]

[codename_duchess]

Whatever, then. Where's good for you?

[Private]

[la_belle_rogue]

Library, level 5.

[Private]

[codename_duchess]

Fine. Bring tequila.

[Private-->Spam]

[la_belle_rogue]

[She just hangs up and heads to the library. She's not bringing you tequila.]

[Spam]

[codename_duchess]

[Well fine, then be that way. Archer shows up, but he is not pleased.]

So much for southern hospitality.

[Spam]

[la_belle_rogue]

[How pleased his is, is pretty much low on her list of priorities. She wasn't here to cater to his every whim.]

Might want ta get used ta disappoint, darlin'. Round here it comes in buckets.

[Spam]

[codename_duchess]

Yeah, I'm starting to pick up on that.

So what's your problem with the pub anyway?

[Spam]

[la_belle_rogue]

Avoidin' someone.

[Spam]

[codename_duchess]

Who is it, conversation?

[Spam]

[la_belle_rogue]

Never ya mind who. That's not what we're hear ta talk about.

[Spam]

[codename_duchess]

Okay. Have fun sitting here, then.

[Spam]

[la_belle_rogue]

[She scoffs.]

If ya think that Ah'm gonna be manipulated with the logic of a four year old, think again. You're the one that wanted ta meet right now [While she was still trying to fix her psyche] so that's what's gonna happen. Have a seat, Mr. Archer.

[permutates]

...no.

But I usually go in without a weapon.

[permutates]

Dance? Have a haunted house? Have fun?

[Spam]

[codename_duchess]

Jesus, is that what you were doing when I called? Being busy avoiding people? Sorry to break your streak.

[He doesn't take a chair, but just relaxes and leans against the table instead. Sorry Rogue, he's not following even small orders.]

Unarmed combat, sounds good. [Archer's had more than a few opportunities to hone those skills.] You wanna go now?
