[Sarah's looking much more herself lately. Might have something to do with the fact that Hoffman's in a coma, but who's to say, really? Of course, this also means she's feeling proactive and pushy again, and has decided to meddle:]I have this friend. When my inmate landed me in the

Girls' night.

Re: male filter.

[whattheytellyou]

Oh, Neil. You can have a boys' night tomorrow. Will that make you feel better?

Private

I really want to assume that this isn't about me, but I think it is. Because my feelings were hurt for a moment. But how I felt at that moment shouldn't take away her happiness.

And...for the record, it was never about the bet. It was...a silly thing to do, but that was not the point. I just want to make that very clear.

So I'll come, if I'm still invited. If not, well, that's alright, too.

Private

[whattheytellyou]

I didn't know you were upset with her. I was just going off what I gathered from her entry and what she told me.

[Read: Oh, what the hell did I just put my foot in?]

Private

[greatlightother]

I'm not. It's fine.

I just hope I wasn't the one who upset her.

Private

[whattheytellyou]

I can't vouch for that one way or the other. I was operating under the assumption that it was a group of people and not one individual. I mean, she made a very public entry about it. She wouldn't do that if it was you. You're her friend and coworker, after all. She'd want to solve it privately -

I'm rambling.

You're invited. Of course you're invited. If you do have a problem with her, alcohol solves it.

I'm not planning on going into the pub anyway, but how is any of that supposed to scare anyone off?

[whattheytellyou]

It...was a joke, Drake.

Re: Male filter

[flashy_magic]

Right, I knew that. I was just pointing that out, anyway.

Re: Male filter

[whattheytellyou]

You're right.

Any male interlopers will be met with DEATH AND DESTRUCTION, Drake.

Oh, I am SO in. ...How do we get a cake like that?

[Girly Anti-Martha Filter]

[whattheytellyou]

Haven't you ever heard of those bundt cakes with the rum in the middle?

Ask Parker. She'll know what I'm talking about.

[Girly Anti-Martha Filter]

[notarrowette]

No, but that sounds amazing. Maybe we can commandeer the kitchens to bake one. ...Um. Except we may not want to give Molly the baking duties.

[Girly Anti-Martha Filter]

[whattheytellyou]

The way level seven smells on most days, I'm going to have to agree with you there. I don't know who's causing it, but I'm going to guess it's not just one person. I'm not risking baking duty on someone who might be making me want to try and get upwind of an entire floor.

We should call it "borrowing". We are "borrowing" the kitchen. "Commandeering" has been used and met with some outrage from the testosterone-afflicted contingency of the ship.

...Although, to be fair, Drake just wanted to know why he should be afraid of lipstick.

I don't believe we've ever met, but I quite like Martha and I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. Who's she married to?

[the Not Martha filter]

[whattheytellyou]

[Flatly:]

Snape.

[BACK TO CHEERY.]

But I'll take the hand, thanks. We need to round up as much junk food as possible. Popcorn, beer nuts, candy, whatever you can find that people are willing to donate.

Re: [the Not Martha filter]

[wait what]

...Severus Snape? Good with potions, wears a lot of black, not precisely fond of Harry Potter?

I'll have a look around and see what I can find. My name's Thursday, by the way. Thursday Next.

Re: [the Not Martha filter]

[whattheytellyou]

I have no idea who Harry Potter is. Severus Snape, acts like a complete jackass, cheats at cards. Probably the same guy. It's not a common name.

I'm Sarah Harding. Thursday, huh? That's different.
