Follow the Snarky Fortune Cookie
Valini pushed around her noodles, searching for some more pork or shrimp to catch with her chopsticks. There nothing like a near-death experience to make wanting to get away from work and have a lunch out more often. "Well, all in all, it sounds like you had a rather exciting time." She smiled sympathetically across the table to Lena, shaking her head. "I thought lab rats were supposed to stay in the labs, make new and interesting ways to melt our coffee cups or blow up tanks and generally stay out of trouble. Minimal exposure to the Day Star, lots of coffee at all times and leave all the trouble to the cowboy-types in SHIELD."

"Please, they're just bitter about psych evals and taking it out on you. Which is silly, especially if they bothered to be nicer they might get a few drinks out of it," she winked. Though it turned to a frown at the fortune. "Oh come on, I call my mother enough! And I don't know why you're giving me that look, like you've never pranked anyone! Besides, I've been very good recently. Being out of country tends to do that. I'm putting this one on you."

As she spoke Lena took another cookie from the pile and cracked it open. Be honest, you have no real 'sleep' cycle.

"I so d-...okay fine. That one's fair."

"We select from a special type of genius that will obey orders and resent suggestions and advice. Though that being-nicer-equals-drinks thing could work in some's favor, if you know what I mean." She felt slightly relieved that Lena was as perplexed as her about these fortune cookies. The denial though, she had to roll her eyes, many things went 'awry' that seemed to be funny occurred in the R&D sections.

"That one is so true." She smirked at Lena and picked up another out of twisted curiosity. Someone probably wants your table, maybe you should move out of the way. "Cheeky."

	Lena laughed at both the comment and the cookie. "Someone's out for your position, watch out. I'm helping you keep it only because I like having a monopoly on the nice chair during the occasional lunch. Petty perhaps but..." "How many of these do we have anyway? Someone clearly made an effort, I should be impressed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Val looked down at the bill and counted the cookies. "I'd say eight more. I'm thinking leaving a message at work that we'll be late would be the mature thing to do. Also in case this is the most passive rekidnapping scheme ever, somewhere to start looking." She flipped out her phone and started texting the away message while piling the cookies in her purse. "Alright, lets get outside and see what's next."

	"We're very mature," she managed to say with a straight face. "Passive rekidnapping is putting it lightly. Very lightly. It's amusing though I will give them that. But I'm with you, let's go use our 'will be late' message to its fullest." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well if it's a kidnapping attempt, it's working. I mean, look at what we're about to do." Which was play hooky and follow the crazy cookies' directions. She chuckled and cracked one open, holding it away just in case they had explosions too.

The lunch was filling but leaves you feel too full. Go to the best place for a cup of coffee, settle your stomach. No, not the lab.

	"Well clearly this person doesn't understand coffee since the best place is the lab. But this could be a fun adventure," she smirked. "We'll take my car if we need and you be the fortune cookie reader. We'll probably need a tag line if we're going to be an adventurous duo. Half of which lives in a lab but still..."

	She nodded, trying to think where the cookie wanted them to go. "Well, it would be counter-productive to appear at the labs after saying we won't be there until later," Val admitted and followed Lena to the car. "Please, that's what the guys and girls running around in leather and spandex are for. We're just... investigating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well we are the brains not the brawn after all," she laughed and got into the driver's seat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-05-30 12:48 am UTC (link)
	She cracked open the next one, talking to the cookie out loud "We don't know of any better coffee than Lab's so we are skipping it. What's next?" Really? You even bother to see what I'm going to say next? Fine whatever. Go to buy shoes. All of them. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-06-01 12:50 am UTC (link)
	"Eeesh, these things have attitude," she chuckled. "Shoe shopping? Is it easier to kidnap us in store? Either this is a creative kidnapping or someone's giving us some much needed excuse for time off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am willing to dismiss the kidnapping thing because the imagination required for these cookies would out-reach the idiocy of hoping we'll trap ourselves. It's too idiot savant to be real." She pointed at the other option. "I like it. And a good reason to wear frou frou heels with those lab coats." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-06-03 04:09 am UTC (link)
	Lena cleared her throat. "Closed toe frou frou heels with lab coats," she smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes Miss OSHA," she agreed in the humoring tone and pulled out her phone to do a few location searches. "There is a well-reputed shoe boutique in the city we can hit. If the pair is tasteful and pricey, it'd be there. And I'm suddenly picturing red stilettos..." She leaned back with a happy dreamy expression. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bio_nerd 2013-06-05 04:31 am UTC (link)
	"Well fine, you don't need closed toed shoes unless one of your patients has a thing against toes," she shot back. "Stilettos to stomp all over anyone stealing the sacred coffee while we're away? And city it is, let's hope traffic favours us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	valini_morse 2013-06-05 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Mostly because a lady needs a pair of hot stilettos," she explained mildly and smiled. "And maybe to drum up some work with our co-workers." She bat her eyes innocently, to neutralize any salacious intent of her previous line. "Let's get there before the cookies get crotchety." (Reply to this)(Parent)
