Office #26, Tuesday

[chosehumanity]

The worst of Mitchell's twitches about last week were starting to wear off, but that didn't mean that he didn't still have a touch of the foul mood about him. In fact, he was on the phone with George right now.

Doing helpful things.

Like going off on him for his anal-retentive attention to dietary choices. "...We don't need pomegranates," he snapped, "They're not even really food! Oh, like you need an excuse, you're practically chained to the stove."

...Yes.

[[ the office, however, was open. like the post. ]]

"Or I could just not be here to deal with anyone's girlfriends or boyfriends," she said with a mock-perky tone and a tilt of her head.

Picking up strangers in motel bars was so much better, obviously.

[chosehumanity]

"Maybe if you want to spend your weekend in a puddle of piss, vomit and a couple of roaches running around in whatever motel you can afford, instead of mocking Fandom's best and brightest," Mitchell said, cheerfully.

[vanillajello]

Mitchell, stop being such a realist.

Kate rolled her eyes, fidgeting in her chair. "If I thought I'd be able to mock, I'd stay."

[chosehumanity]

It was a dash of realism coupled with a heavier snuff of romanticism, attached to a healthy modern need to mock everyone he cared about. See it for what it is.

"Oh," Mitchell said, raising his eyebrows at her, "Is Kate admitting defeat in the mocking arena? I'm disappointed."

[vanillajello]

She shrugged. "Yeah, well, so was I, when I realized it."

[chosehumanity]

"Be more like Rocky," Mitchell advised.

It was sage advice! And mocking.

[vanillajello]

More mocking than sage, in Kate's view.

"Never."

[chosehumanity]

One day, Kate, this was going to end badly.

Like with Mitchell trying to arrange you unplanned blind dates.

Far away from that distant and disturbing future, though, Mitchell simply leaned back down into his chair, and said, "Fine, then. Be dramatic." This picture would've been perfect with some popcorn.

[vanillajello]

Oh, if he ever actually tried that, the bitching was going to be truly epic.

"Well it is what I do best," Kate said. "You of all people should know that."

[chosehumanity]

"Please. Like you even know what you do best, yet."

Mitchell, you making fun of her age would have a lot more impact if she actually knew how much older you were. (Or none at all. It was hard to tell, with Kate)

[vanillajello]

"Oh that is just too lame."

Kate wasn't too impressed with jibes at her age, no.
