You stay where you are. We're coming to collect you.

Those two statements from his most recent dream echoed in his mind throughout the day, making him nervous enough to startle when ever his office door had opened or one of the many NYBG gardeners had stepped out of the bushes to ask him a question. It was absolutely ridiculous! His finger drummed on his desk as he settled on a wild contingency plan... The only problem with it was he needed some help to pull it off.

Hey, anyone out there want to make a few bucks under the table?

temptationaccomplished: (frowny face)

I take it back. I'll be joining you in jail shortly, Anthony, once I murder your cousin.

If you're going to insult my weight, Alec, at least make it about something valid. I have better tastes than children's prepackaged confections.
scotch_egg: (you believe that)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't say anything about your weight. I was just referring to Anthony's fruit roll up. [he sips his tea nonchalantly]
scotch_egg: (suspich)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
You're the one making it weird. [now his ears are oddly red so deflecting is a go]
scotch_egg: (mild concern)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[yes, fine. He'll let Ellie put a wrench in your plans]
temptationaccomplished: (mm that's a funny taste in my mouth)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
That's disgusting, you're terrible, and I am infinitely glad I never had siblings.
scotch_egg: (squint)

[the next time he is just going to leave being cheeky to someone else. It's clearly not his style. He's just going to extract himself from the conversation and drown himself in tea]
temptationaccomplished: (yeah ok)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
Don't think I don't see you admiring your handiwork. You're awfully feisty today. What's gotten into you?
scotch_egg: (mild concern)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Regret. [and that's all he'll say about that]
temptationaccomplished: (smug bastard)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Evil always contains the seeds of its own destruction.
scotch_egg: (compassion)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Sorry. [he hadn't thought it was evil but it was starting to leave a bad taste in his mouth regardless]
temptationaccomplished: (we both know you'll do it)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[would serve you right if it left a sugary fruity taste.]

Oh, Alec. The suggested vulgarity of it caught me surprise is all, coming from you. It's alright.

... Okay, okay, this is news. Am I going to just have to blanket ask all of you what's going on?
scotch_egg: (wot)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's nothing. Go away.

Wait, since when is that a euphemism for someone's ...
temptationaccomplished: (that went rather badly)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don’t know! It just sounded like he was implying things!

...didn’t it?

[personal profile] seawalled 2021-01-26 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I mean he could've been. He's an adult human being just like the rest of us, you know. Not some fragile little twee thing. I've heard him say worse, believe me. ... Just not an expression I'm familiar with, that's all.

That bein' said, what you two do with each other's ... fruit roll-ups ... is none of my business.
scotch_egg: (mild concern)

[personal profile] scotch_egg 2021-01-26 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
[he hates everyone in this bar. But most of all himself]

[Anthony is going to find individual roll ups in his shoes and his pockets and under his pillow]

He's making all the rounds tonight, apparently. Don't pay him any mind, I brought madelines home from work and I'll save you a pack. We can enjoy ourselves together and refuse to share.
temptationaccomplished: (be nice I'm cute)

[personal profile] temptationaccomplished 2021-01-26 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you, my dear. We can enjoy a lovely evening in while casting them out to the doghouse. I'm putting on some tea if you'd like a cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure they'll mind much about us not sharing.

[personal profile] seawalled 2021-01-26 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's when we sit in one of our rooms and lock the door, dear. Tea sounds absolutely perfect.
