Beckys are strange things. To wit, most of their strangeness tends to be connected to their raw ability to know things and communicate this knowledge, often without context or a cohesive plan of action. Less notably, they have a habit of keeping busy. They can stretch a 2-hour assignment into a day-long affair, if it means avoiding boredom. It' ( Read more... )

Celphone ring! CS is currently calling through a PortalTech patch from Paragon - and she might sound a bit breathless when actually picked up!

"H.. Hey! You still doing alright, Becky?"

CS's ringtone - disused long enough to be unfamiliar by now - is a species of happy-trippy girly techno. Becky answers, confused, and flips open her phone on the second ring.

"Dr. Chambers," she says, leaning a hip on the table and folding her paper-towel hand under her chest. Then, upon introduction, "...wait, CS?"

'Doctor Chambers? You gra-aaah--aaaah!-*WHOA* - duated? Congrats!'

There's a few seconds pause on CS's side, possibly long enough to make one think that the phone connection had died, and then her voice kicks back in, breathless.

'Geez... Congratulations, really - I'm just starting college myself..!'

Becky takes the phone away from her ear with a start, then stares at it when it apparently goes dead.

When CS pipes up again, she laughs, and takes a seat on a plastic chair. How ladylike!

"Newly-minted," she says, her voice positively beaming, "just got out of my internship last week. Oh yeah? What are you majoring in?"

10 to 1 Criminal Justice Administration, but it couldn't hurt.

He stood in the doorway, watching her clean like a woman possessed. It was something to see... and gave him the strange urge to leave a greasy smear on one of the windows she just cleaned.

Oh, no reason...

Becky is currently wiping down the inside of the microwave with a bottle of 409 and a thick pad of paper towels. She looks over her shoulder, and, conversationally, replies;

"Oh! No, it was just really grimy in here and the bacte--"

It's kind of comical; she pauses mid-sentence, mid-word actually, and looks up again. It's the kind of thing you never really expect someone to do in real life. He gets a great big smile.

"Holy... Leon! What are you doing here?"

He couldn't help it, and started to laugh. He really didn't expect that kind of reaction. He managed to calm himself a few seconds later, but still had a grin.

"Hi.

"I was in the area on business, so I figured I'd check in on you guys. How've you been?"

Suddenly realizing she's still holding her maid supplies, she puts them down and comes on over!

"Good! Things have been good... wow, long time no see! How have you been?"
