Edge, Tuesday Afternoon

"Back to work, back to work."

Work for Reno, it should be noted, mostly consisted of him putting his feet on his desk and pretending to be busy. There were reports to be filed. He didn't wanna. That required effort.

Taking jobs that involved him chasing down monsters or beating terrorists to a messy pulp or, dare he say it, the jobs that required making hits? That wasn't work. That was play.

Reno? Reno was working. So hard at work. Staring at paper. Paperwork would be less boring if maybe it came in crossword format. Or word search. Or if it was written out in code that replaced each letter of the alphabet with a different picture of a naked chick. If it did that, maybe it wouldn't be so much work!

Yes, he was totally spending his time hard at work trying to will the phone to ring with his brain. Ugh, work.

[For phonecalls, of course. Reno is, as usual, boooored.]

Reno must have honed his psychic powers well, because his phone? It was most assuredly ringing.

He should pick lottery numbers, next!

"I was thinking of renting a professional asshole for my next party," Elena laughed. "What's the going rate, hourly?"

"How much would ten minutes in a locked supply closet run me?"

Impossible not to flirt, if he was going to be like that.

"Less than I did yesterday," she sighed. "Lots of shopping, lately. I'll just have to save my gil in a piggy bank for a while, huh?"

"Lucky for me, I know a guy who can break chairs for free," she gloated. "That should tide me over until I can bribe your girlfriend into letting me have a go."

"I meant during sex," Elena said blithely. "I've smashed a few bedframes in my time, but no chairs. And couldn't you just break a chair over someone's head, at a hard enough angle that you snap the neck?"

... she'd never actually tried that. It sounded like a fun game for a hit, though, didn't it?

"I wouldn't be surprised," she laughed. "Maybe I should save up my gil for him instead."

Aaaaaaaaaand then the sound of Elena worrying her lip between her teeth.

"Reno?" she said, hesitant and -- beneath that? A touch giddy. "I did something really, really stupid."

It'd been a while since She'd talked to Reno, and maybe he'd be visiting this coming weekend, or for Homecoming, so: good time to check in.

*Ring!*

Dinah fell over giggling. "I can go find something? I'm sure of it? Hi!"

"I had to check how high my Grudge was," she grinned. "No, not that. And not anything like mailing something to Tseng that he's gonna fire me over. That reminds me, I have a report to write and I'm stalling. I don't think he's gonna be pissed, but he might be."

Sure, Reno had a pet. He also might have gotten into deep shit about the pet. It was just that Reno no longer gave a damn, on that front.

"Oldster of the redheaded persuasion!" Dinah only knew one of those. So that worked. "Mmm, mostly? I got Detention for forgetting to check in, which I guess I deserved, but no one busted me for rappelling off the dorms," Dinah said cheerfully. "So I think I broke even. It's been really quiet here, except for the girls turning into guys last week." She grinned. "Did you get my last box o' stuff?"

"We looooove steak!" Dinah was a meat-and-anything girl herself. "Yay! And yeah, slinkies! I figured they'd be fun for you, but I'm glad you're neighbors are getting even more out of them." She flopped down on her bed and asked, "Are you coming to Parent's Weekend or Homecoming? Do you even know yet?"

"Yaaay!" Dinah cheered, reconciled to no Reno-now with the promise of Reno-soon. "Dancing and partying and yay! How's Rikku anyway? How was stuff when you went to visit her?"
