Oh gods! [ INSERT GAGGING. ] I can't get this cigarette taste out of my mouth. [ A mouth which is at the moment foaming a little at the corners with toothpaste. And she's back to brushing her teeth, then spitting, followed by more frantic brushing, one last spit, and finally a rinse. ]

Help? [ Cassie who has never before this breach smoked a cigarette in her life is for lack of a better word disgusted with herself. ] Not all the Febreze in the world is going to help, and apparently neither is a shower. [ She picks up a clump of blonde hair and sniffs it. ]

EUGH. I swear the smell is still in my hair. [ Actually she kind of wishes it were stuck only in her nose and that there was an easy solution. ]

I'll be in the gym if anyone needs me. It's not like I can wash my hair anymore... [ Grumble, grumble. ]

[Private to Tim ]

So what are the chances of me being able to look through Kara's file?

Pretty much the same, with a little more humiliation and no magic that was really cool. [ Shrug. ] Still wasn't worse than that one flood though, so I can't complain.

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, floods tend to be worse that breaches. And ports can go either way.

[demigoddess]

The fun never ends.

[ Half-heartedly. ] Yaaaay. The need for pool parties are so clear to me now. [ And have been for a little bit. ]

[ichoosefight]

We're probably due for another. I just haven't been in the mood lately.

[demigoddess]

We can't just expect all the party planning to be on your shoulders. That would be very unfair.

[ichoosefight]

Claire was going to help with that, before she left.

[demigoddess]

I'm sure I've got a few parties up my sleeve.

[ichoosefight]

[ Dramatically: ] We're all relying on you now, Cassie. You're our only hope.

[demigoddess]

How will I work under the pressure?

[ichoosefight]

You'll just have to woman up and find a way.

[demigoddess]

Looks like it.
