02/20/10 [DMFA #1090] - When life gives you lemons, kill the lemon farmer

[Bjalf]

And the band-aid was no use either.

Poor Abel, gets no sympathy after all his troubles, and now he has to listen to "snoring" noises all night long.

[Tapewolf]

Aw, that sucks.  Wonder what kind of mood Alexsi is going to be in by morning?

[Janus Whitefurr]

Aaaaargh.

[bradypodidae]

Aw, that sucks.  Wonder what kind of mood Alexsi is going to be in by morning?

There was an expression I heard often while stationed in California describing one's mood and appearance after such an evening and night that I really can't use as I want and stay PG-13. I guess it would suffice to say that "chipper" is a good guess and she might have a "glow" about her.

So hopefully she'll be at least slightly receptive to Abel's demands for compensation, the insane warrior type who thinks she's a succubus or the fact that Dan went AWOL.

[bradypodidae]

I don't think Abel's compensation will be much of an issue as its part of his contract. Then again, Alexsi is a business woman and all expenses are probably carefully reviewed.

As far as Dan's going A.W.O.L. from the Inn for a date? I'm kind of hoping he brings Matilda to the Inn for breakfast to help diffuse that situation, otherwise, I believe all bets are off.

Ooh, ooh, I've heard that one! I't something about chrome and trailer hitch, isn't it? Of course, here it would probably be scales and dragon.

[Ghostwish]

Sorry, have to do it.

BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!!!

Please don't kill me!

[D'ymkarra]

Aw, that sucks.  Wonder what kind of mood Alexsi is going to be in by morning?

Alexsi is likely on Cloud Nine right now, and won't be coming down anytime soon (notice how she didn't realize/ care Dan was nowhere to be found?).

That is, until Abel fills her in on the night's events...Then it's On! 

[entropicage]

While I know Alexi needs to know what happened... well... I think she needs the mood boost, if ya know what I mean. 

[Tapewolf]

How long has Abel been on-shift, I wonder?  Is he going to end up breaking disguise by virtue of being up so late?

[entropicage]

Except that he doesn't need to sleep, and with as many emotions flying around as there had been that night, I doubt he's anywhere near tired enough to make a slip like that.

[Tapewolf]

Actually the point isn't that it won't affect him, which is not normal for a Being, and by the looks of it most Creatures.

...um, no. It had more to do with afterglow.

I doubt many notice when someone is up really late and still seems to have energy. I know some people who seem to never need to sleep.

Also instead of switching the salt for sugar, i would have switched the sugar for salt. Nothing worse than realizing your coffee is ruined.

Having had a step-father who worked the overnight shift in a psych ward, I can say that that is definitely NOT the case. Heh, if anything, people will just assume that he either a: stays up for absurdly long times anyway, or b: that he sleeps during the day.

There's also my stint as a hotel waitress... me having to be up for work at 4am didn't always stop me from being out till 2.

I was joking   

Though I'm sure my suggestion would produce an afterglow, also.

Just do both. I hope we get a running gag on sugar/salt misplacements.

By what Alexsi just said I am guessing that she is going to expand her dragon riding skills.

As much as many of us would like to see/ believe this, you've overlooked Amber's 'nobody gets any' rule. That and between the highs and lows of Pyroduck's revelations to her, I think she's physically and mentally exhausted already. A good night's sleep next to someone that loves her would be most welcome indeed.

(It goes without saying methinks, that this scene will inspire its' own slew of fanfiction entries  )

The other option is that he can shapeshift into a female shape for the night shift.

I thought the saying was "If life gives you lemons, cut them open and squirt citric acid in its eyes"

Actually, it's "kick the lemon farmer in the shins", from another one of my favourite webcomics.

[Baal Hadad]

....

WHAT was that expression again, Abel...?   

[AmigaDragon]

Afterglow? Not blushing?

Alexsi didn't say they're sleeping together, just that they're going to sleep. Just like when Abel told Wildy that Dan and Alexsi were out on a date (just not together).

He could just say he knew he was working the nightshift so he slept during the day.

[Madd the Sane]

Wait, what if Abel put psycho-kitty in Alexsi's room? Awkward.

LOL, that's a funny thought.  Wonder what would happen when she sees Alexsi.

Whoa, whoa... Switch the sugar for salt and ruin Alexsi's coffee?! YOU FOOLS! YOU'VE KILLED US ALL! *Runs for the hills before Alexsi finds out her source of caffeine is ruined.*

[D'ymkarra]

Very true..I never meant to imply one over the other; there's sleeping together (meck mecka wow wow!), and plain old sleeping together (awww cuddly dragon!). It's just that being the hormone driven animals we are ( be it human, cubi, or whatever), our minds will tend to default to the former rather than the latter. Besides, we all know Alexsi is not the kind to kiss and tell, especially on a first date  

[AmigaDragon]

And then there's sleeping separately, which is what I'm sure Alexsi meant.
