I get it, it's Cali, you frankly inhale the stuff walking in the street, but I can't have you stoned and picking up boulders. Still, good work. The City Council will take it from here and decide if they should stay. Probably will.[/color][/quote] Asteroid is astounded by the fact he was clocked as barely stoned while on the clock. He sputters- "I didn't say I smoked it? Whatever man." The last bit comes out with a bit of attitude. The rest of the shift, he just tries to keep his head down, not wanting any more negative attention. - - - Jet sits with his arms crossed at the end of the table farthest away from James during the drugs in the workplace talk. To begin with, he couldn't begin to understand how the dispatcher had figured out he'd hit the old ladies joint before coming back. It had been two puffs, probably not even enough to show up on a drug test. James got thru his entire spiel, and he was glad to hide his annoyance beneath his mask. The whole thing left a bad taste on in his mouth. He couldn't help but feel James was targeting him with this, that was until Madcap- [quote][color=dodgerblue]"SIR, YES, SIR! No drugs will be done in the workplace regardless of policy exemptions. Because drugs... ARE. EVIL."[/color] [/quote] Three sentences and Asteroid is rubbing his eyes thru the mask holes on his costume. Who is this guy? Is he joking? He has to pull his lips down into an exaggerated frown to keep from laughing aloud at the exchange. [color=MediumPurple]"Is this guy for real?"[/color] He whispers to whoever is sitting beside him. [center][h2][color=gold]Break[/color][/h2][/center] When Jet gets to the breakroom, he passes Eclipse at the table, and stares longingly at the vending machine. His dinner meal prep was in the fridge at home, delicious beef loin mein he'd made in a big batch at the start of his week. Mouth watering, he punches in the numbers to free a cup o' noodle from it's metal pusher. The thunk of it hitting the bottom coincides perfectly with Eclipse's groan. He looks up to find Lightning Girl standing in front of him with a bag of chips. Ok- whatever that's about. Shifting his body as to not graze hers, he slides by Lightning Girl and approaches the sink. [quote][color=fff200]And you do gravity stuff Asteroid,[/color][/quote] Jet looks over at Lightning Girl and nods. [color=mediumpurple]"Ever hear the phrase 'falling with style?' [/color] He's filling up his dinner to the line. By the time he's pressing buttons on the microwave she's finished making her way thru the group. He too looks the group over- Princess for giving him the creeps, Eclipse as he squints at the employee handbook, the child who comes in, Payback for being immediately hostile towards said child, Lightning Girl for being so damn friendly, and finally Hat Trick- whose energy he cannot determine if he likes. Then, Madcap, of course comes in with his bag of buns, and he finds himself pleasantly surprised to have some extra fuel to get him thru the day. [color=MediumPurple]"Yo- thanks? Where are these from?"[/color] When Hat Trick starts taking photos, Jet leans farther forward in each consecutive photo as he rushes toward the camera trying to get the Hockey Player to quit it. [color=MediumPurple]"One of those is me from the back! And I don't have my shoes on?"[/color] Instead of the red bottomed black booties he wore with his costume, that lie kicked under a chair, he only sports a pair of mismatched black and white socks. He stops his pursuit at the door knowing that he ultimately doesn't have the cash to buy another cup of noodle if this one gets gross. So he turns back to the group seated at the table, and flops himself into an empty chair. [color=mediumpurple]"So one more stretch before we get to go home? I'm supposed to be in bed in an hour"[/color] He lifts the bottom of his mask to just above the tip of his nose so he can shovel the noodles into his mouth and drink out of the cup.
