Subject: Reserve status discussion

Last week, Remy offered me a position at Snow Valley. I told him at the time that I would consider it over a few days. I think I am going to take it, but I would like to discuss with you the possibility of staying on as reserve status, so that I can share any of my visions that seem to be helpful to you, and can be called in if needed in an emergency.

Could I meet with one or both of you when you have time?

Subject: Job offer.

I hope this doesn't come as a complete surprise, but Remy offered me a job. I am inclined to take it, but I wanted to ... no, I am done with being too overly formal.. I want to make sure you are not going to have a problem with this, and I wanted to maybe sit down with you and talk about the job, because I think we are going to be working together often, given my precognition.

Amanda says you are drinking coffee these days - would you like to go have some with me sometime soon to talk about all of this?

Subject: So, tell me about the brownstones?

Remy gave me a job offer. I think I am going to take it. Tell me about the brownstones? And the job? and the psychologist Over lunch, maybe?


To: (Remy)
From: (Marie-Ange)

Subject: Job offer

Unless for some reason the offer is no longer good, I think I would like to take it. I took some time to think about it, and weigh my options, and I just cannot -not- take it. If that makes any kind of sense at all. I am going to talk to Mr. Summers and Ms. Munroe about some things, but as long as that does not blow up in my face, as it were, I would like to accept.

Subject: Another one for the junior trenchcoats?

Remy mentioned something about tapping you for a possible job, but I hadn't heard anything more... Sure, we can have lunch - tomorrow all right? I'll give it to you as straight as I can.

A.

PS: What about Doug? Working here means working with him. Even if he does hide in the computer room most of the time. You going to be all right with that?

Subject: I look terrible in a trenchcoat.

Tommorow would be perfect. Anything but Mexican, I had more than enough of that in San Diego to last me a lifetime.

PS: I emailed him. I am going to try to talk with him about it.

Subject: It's a figurative trenchcoat. Except for Remy's.

No Mexican, check. 12:30, at that Italian place around the corner from the office? Santini's, I think it's called.

A.

PS: Good. If he doesn't answer, let me know and I'll go poke him. Group project - Operation: Doug Grows A Spine. ;)

Subject: I thought that he bought Betsy one?

Ooh, yes. They have good canoli's, and canoli's are my secret weakness. Like Kryptonite for Superman, only I do not prance about with my underwear on outside my pants.

PS. He has grown enough of one to yell at me enough lately. And we talked while we were in San Diego, if him talking me through a destroyed school building counts.

Subject: Oh yeah. So he did.

[xp_daytripper]

To: [angie]
From: [amanda]

I'd forgotten about that one - Betsy hasn't been around much lately. To be expected, the state I found her in on Saturday...

I'm trying to picture you with the underwear thing and it's just not working. *grins* Just as well you don't, eh?

A.

PS: He yelled at you? I'm torn between being pleased he's not doing the kicked puppy thing and wanting to shake... well, both of you sometimes. *wry* Now I get how you must have felt about Manuel and me.

But talking's good, it really is.

It's your decision what you want to do, not mine. We managed to work together in San Diego, didn't we?

Subject: I would still like to talk.

Not about the decision, but about how we can work together. I am going to take a look at the brownstone tommorow and have lunch with Amanda, but I wanted to ...

You have seen my notebooks and journals. What could you do with that information?

Subject: I don't know...

I don't know if I'm together enough yet. Over a com link in San Diego when we both were exhausted and had people to save, that is one thing. Sitting down at a table with you...I don't know.

Do you remember what I did the last time I had that information? :-/

I'm scared.

There.

I don't feel like having yet another screaming match.

I'm going on a date with Marie. And I'm scared of how you'll react to that too.

But there it is.

Being scared is .. I do not -care- if you are scared, I never did. It isn't the fear that made me angry.

As I said. Let me know when you are ready.

Coffee, huh?

I think maybe I can control my nervous breakdown enough for that.

When?

Subject: Why not? It is not a nickname exclusive to you.

Yes, coffee. It is a caffinated drink made from beans produced by the plant of the same name. It can be served hot or cold, maybe you have heard of it?

When are you not buried under the morass of jobs that Pete or Remy have handed to you?

-Angie

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

To: [Marie-Ange]
From: [Doug]

Because...I don't know. Because it feels like clinging to something that isn't there anymore, maybe.

And yes, I've heard of coffee. I haven't turned into a huge coffee barbarian, really, but it has its uses.

And, um, not really very often. Basically, I work a lot, go to sleep, and then wake up to work a lot more.

From: (Angie)

Please lets not be silly. Amanda calls me Angie. Nathan calls me Angie. A lot of people call me Angie. I would really much rather you use it. I am more comfortable with my nickname than not. I did not ask you to stop. I would not ask you to stop. It is not a thing earned, it is just my name.

Would it help if I told you that I felt happier being Angie than I do being Marie-Ange?

Do you have half an hour to spare tommorow evening?

-Angie

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

To: [Angie]
From: [Doug]

Okay, your logic trumps my silly anxiety.

And...maybe? I get all jumbled up inside, still, to be honest.

I think I could manage that. I'll knock off early or something. Some days Pete throws me out of the office and tells me to go do something that's not computer-related. I guess he wants me not to work myself completely into the ground. Maybe he cares in his snarky, biting British fashion.

...nah.

I like Angie better. Marie-Ange is cold and I do not think I like her very much and she is very lonely sometimes. Angie has friends.

That is funny. Does he throw you out bodily?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

To: [Angie]
From: [Doug]

We...could try being friends again. Just, again with the whole jumbled up thing.

He threatens to. He grabbed me by the scruff of the neck once. But he doesn't actually toss me out.
