codename_duchess[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.

Date: 2013-10-05 06:37 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2013-10-06 01:12 am (UTC)Rogue can be very scary when pushed to her breaking point, and she's been pushed. A lot. So right now, she's being a little scary. Her voice is almost a growl and she starts stalking up to him, clearly menacing.]
Ah've had a very nasty couple of months, Mr. Archer. And two people in particular are the cause of my problems. Mah current state of mind isn't exactly forgivin', so yeah, Ah'm avoidin' people so Ah don't give in ta the strong urges ta pound them into a stain on the floor. [This only half true. She's avoiding Victor because she keeps having the horrifying urge to jump into his arms. But he doesn't need to know that. Nobody needs to know that.
She's in his personal space now.]
So y'can keep givin' me attitude, and Ah can start redirectin' some of that aggression, [She grabs him by the tie, hard.] or y'can sit down[On those words, she shoves him sideways into a chair, letting go of the tie and standing back.] and we'll try and talk like civilized people.
