KYLE
Michael just got to ESPN when Liz and Alex walk into the room. Looks like only Isabel is missing now.
"Isabel is coming in a few minutes. She is just taking a shower before." Liz explains when they both sit down.
"She is still in the shower?" Max asks surprised.
"Uh no, she just went. She and I were talking and kinda forgot the time." Alex replies sheepishly, causing Tess to grin and Max to smile.
"Cool." Tess states with a wink at Alex.
Ah right, he likes the dangerous one.
"Should we wait for Isabel or just start the first movie?" I ask the group.

TESS
I don't know why Michael is always alienating himself around the other guys here. Maybe he does it without realizing it, because I know he can be perfectly civil, at least for a few minutes anyway, so I don't really get it.
And now he's scowling at the TV because no one has said whether they mind if he watches ESPN for a few minutes or not. Maybe if I brought him into the conversation about work, he'd feel more included.
"What about you, Michael? How has it been going for you so far, you're working in the art department, right?" I say after turning my head to look at Michael. Max readjusts his hold around my waist.

Well... Michael is in the middle of the sofa, like he owns the place. Max and Tess are on the smaller divan. Dunno if Kyle dared to sit on the same sofa as Michael or not. lol

I look up as Liz comes back and I feel my mouth go dry. Damn, she's beautiful. Her hair is still dry, so I'm guessing she didn't get to the shower, afterall. I wonder if she's still upset with me and if there's some way to fix it up...
She explains that Isabel is still in the shower and I work to make sure that my voice is as natural as possible as I respond. I just want to be friends and I hope we still are.
Of course, Alex's news about actually having a friendly conversation with Isabel is amazing, even with the warning I got from Liz. Not just a friendly conversation, but one that was so comfortable that they forgot the time. Excellent. I resist the urge to give him a thumbs up.
"Should we wait for Isabel or just start the first movie?" Kyle asks.
"I think we can go on with the first movie. Don't you?" I suggest. I mean, this is Isabel in the shower. I'm guessing she's not going to be down in 10 minutes...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
*Michael*
I'm trying to figure out how my teams did and everyone is talking at once. Fortunately, I can tune them out. At least until Tess says my name.
"What?" I ask, not turning from the TV. In the next instant, I figure out what she said. "Job's fine, I guess." I tell her, turning to face her. "It would be better if they'd listen to my suggestions a bit more. They got a lot of strange ideas and rules about what they want. But it's great when they leave me alone and let me draw."

ALEX
Finding a place to sit down is harder than I thougt. Max and Tess are cozy on the divan, Michael is lounging on the couch with Kyle barely fitting next to him, Maria is on one of the chairs.
I glance at Liz who is trying not to look at Max and Tess too much and also looking for a place to sit down. When she sits on the floor with a shrug, placing the cookies and one box of ice cream in front of her, I follow her example and sit down next to her, placing the chocolate ice cream in front of me, just so that Liz has a bit of trouble reaching it.
I ask Michael who has the remote protectively in his hand, "So, what's the first movie and ... what exactly do you have to draw? I don't really know what project you are working on."

"X-men 2," I tell Alex, as I switch the TV over to the DVD. In the next instant, the promos start up. Damn. On a VHS tape we could skip past them but this 'improved' technology holds us captive for the damn advertising....
"There's a big promotional event down at the Arena next week," I continue. "I'm designing banners and posters and such for the publicity."

Love your Avitar, Trude. So Cute! (Although alex is also mighty cute... )

"It's mostly just me," I say. "Although my boss has a lot imput. I guess they usually hire out for some of this stuff but they're taking advange of my talents while we're here. I could be even better if their rules didn't put so many restictions on my artistic genius."
Oh look, the movie's finally starting. Excellent!
Max untangles himself from Tess for a moment with a quiet, "Be right back," and then he goes up to the shelf where he'd stashed the other cookies. "I guess we can all eat these now, right?" He asks placing them on the table near Liz.
With a sigh, I move my feet and sit up a little bit. "Hey Maria, why don't cha come over here and sit with me?" I ask. There's definately room for three here, although if Kyle left it would be even better. "It's a lot better view of the set from here."

yeah, the avi is cute 
... and crazy - just like me
KYLE
Yes! Cookies! And space to breathe since Michael moved a bit! Immediately taking a cookie (hey, I'm a growing boy!) I glance at Maria wondering if she'll take Michael's offer.
Moving a bit to the side (even though I am almost sitting on the armchair) so that Maria can sit in the middle, I grin at her, "Yeah, come join us. The couch is pretty comfy after all. We won't bite."

Trude, love your avatar! Have been giggling as I watched for the last five minutes. lol.
Isabel
I sigh as I look in the mirror. I wonder if Alex would have told me what he knew if Liz hadn’t of walked in the room. Its totally going to bug me until Alex tells me all the details although chances are its nothing at all.
I narrow my eyes as I tie my hair back, making sure that there isn‘t a single hair out of place. Just because I am not leaving the house tonight doesn’t mean that I can’t look my best. The only question left to be asked is what should I wear? Its got to be casual since I don’t want to appear overdressed but not white trash casual so that it seems like I‘m underdressed.
I decide on wearing a pair of low rise jeans and a white Baby-Doll Camisole. I put some lip balm on before checking my appearance one final time. Simple. Perfect. Me.
As I walk into the living room where everyone else is. I chew my lip, not really sure where I should sit until I catch sight of Alex and Liz sat on the floor and more importantly the ice cream which I clearly remember having my name stamped all over it in Alex’s possession.
The floor, of course wouldn’t normally be my first choice of seat but since its closer to the chocolate ice cream and more of Liz’s cookies. I grin wickedly at Alex as I sit between him and Liz.
“I think that belongs to me,” I say, pointing to the chocolate ice cream.
“Possession is nine tenth of the law,” Alex states, moving the ice cream out of my reach.
“And I guess you would know all about that wouldn’t you,” I say before adding in hushed whisper just for Alex’s hearing “Officer”

Ruby, thanks, I just wish I had the engery of this "birdy on speed"
ALEX
“And I guess you would know all about that wouldn’t you, Officer”
Grrrr. If Isabel weren't so cute, it would be annoying that she still teases me about that. Okay, good, so it's not annoying and more fun, especially since she was so quiet and looks awesome in this outfit. Besides, she's sitting next to me and I'd rather have her next to me and teasing me the whole time than sitting somewhere else anyway.
Turning to her - keep eye contact boy, don't look below her throat - I reply in a whisper, "Careful Missy, after all, I could still have some handcuffs left from then and might use them if necessary."
