The Good Life
Vincent wandered his way into the common area on the 'kids' floor of the Baxter Building, sitting himself on the couch and kicking his feet up onto the coffee table. He glanced over at the on the entertainment center. Seven a.m., Sunday morning. Not the worst time to be getting back from a good Friday night, and a better Saturday, he mused to himself. He noted some lingering lipstick on his shirt; have to remember to point that out when he dropped it at the cleaner's.

He picked up a general use organizer from the table, tapping in his personal identification. "Voice messages left since last checked?"

"Twenty two," the digital voice replied.

"Organizational code Amorason-five. Discount messages from colleges seeking my enrollment, research facilities or weapons manufacturers offering jobs, aspiring 'mages', or young women I have made implications to call back but have not for reasons of my choosing."

"No new messages," the voice amended. Vincent turned his attention away from the organizer, reaching for the television remote and queuing up recorded news broadcasts for the past 48 hours. He turned his attention back to the organizer. "H.E.R.B.I.E., order half a dozen bacon egg and cheese bagel sandwiches from Schlotsky's Deli. Two with meunster, four with cheddar. Three on asiago parmesean, three on poppyseed. Large mint tea with honey and two sugars. For delivery." He smirked. "Charged to Mister Grimm's tab. Memo - Inquire about his poker tab to 'the Doomling' if charge disputed." He sent the message to the building's robotic gopher, then put down the remotes and stretched his arms over his head, settling his hands at the back of his neck. He noticed the phone number written on the inside of one of his forearms. He doubted he'd write it down before he showered.

The news started up with some fluff piece on Central Park using falcons for rat control, and Vincent smirked. This was indeed the good life.

(:tag any other Fantastic types, visitors, or anyone who wants to call really:)

"There may or may not have been some kicking and screaming involved. With him kicking and me screaming." Cassie smiled and took advantage of Kristoff's offer, grabbing a sandwich. She'd only had time for an energy drink that morning.

Andrea absently chewed on her sandwich, making a mental note to work on her taste receptors the next time she was due for an upgrade. Right now, it did not seem to have much flavor.

"You should bring him by more often. I always enjoy seeing him."

Vincent holds up a sandwich for Cassandra, grinning. "Did Scotty like the personal mobility apparatus I designed for him?"

Which was his way of asking how the repulsor-pack worked out, particularly in conjunction with the force-field harness he'd built into it in case of crashes. A favorite 'uncle' had to give his favorite nephew the very best toys after all. That's how he got to be the favorite.

Kristoff acknowledges to himself that all his advice on dealing with temper tantrums is mostly only useful if sorcery or electronics are involved.

He nods with a little agreement as Andrea speaks, then narrow his eyes a little when Vincent does.

"As much as I appreciate the sentiment I think you're forgetting that Scotty is six. He's a force of nature all on his own and doesn't need any encouragement." She really liked the furniture not broken.

"All of Vincent's toys for Scottie have been perfectly safe," Andrea pointed out. "I watched him build most of them."

Vincent sighs and scratches the back of his head. "The robotic turtle that transforms into a boat then? Did you let him keep that?"

He smiles warmly at Andrea's praise. "Thank you Andrea, for that vote of confidence."

"Yes, he likes that. And if you think all his toys are safe- you know, never mind. It's too early in the morning for that discussion."

"There's a difference between something's being dangerous in and of itself and its being put to destructive purposes," Kristoff says quickly with an 'and you know it' look to his brother before looking back to Cassandra earnestly. "I need to contact some people about current events we're hoping will not get out of hand. When you're done eating, would you be able to..." He gives a small, odd sort of smile "Help with the reasonable human being parts?"

Current events and asking for her help. This sounded like...

She glanced at the TV.

Yep. Thought so.

Cassie smiled. "In other words you need me to do the talking. No problem. I'd love to help."

"If you would like, Kristoff," Andrea volunteered, "I can remain here to continue to monitor and record news broadcasts for relevant information."

"Thank you," Kristoff said, pressing his hand to Cassie's just slightly awkwardly. "And thank you, Andrea; I would very much appreciate that."

Vincent finished another sandwich and then stretched. "In that case, I'm off to bed... it's been a long Friday night." He smiled sheepishly.

"Ladies, Kristoff, if you'll excuse me." He got up off the couch and ambled in the direction of his room

Cassie squeezed Kristoff's hand lightly and held back a grin. How well she remembered those kinds of Friday nights, although she imagined Vincent had been up all night for very different reasons than why Cass would stay up well past dawn back in the day.

"Good night, Vincent."
