I'll work with whatever you throw at me. We can think of another way for them to get in contact with each other. And I can wait, trust me~
I'd enjoy continuing because I find this plot intriguing. Plus I'm pretty proud of my character ha. I don't mind waiting~ I don't have much to move on to anyway.
Congrats on the marriage. ;)

Ah that sounds exciting. And don't worry about it. I've been keeping busy myself~
The only motions Joel made when the girl smiled and waved at him was a raised eyebrow and the smallest smirk, despite himself. Something, some feeling, seemed to swirl around inside of him. Relief maybe. Relief that he had been acknowledged by someone else. He had spent the everyday on Earth since his fall ignoring everyone, and being ignored in return. The angelic side of him, his true self, couldn't have possibly cared less, but it was the mortal body that had felt the relief and craved connections with other mortals. You aren't mortal, it's just the body. Block it out.
Still...he supposed he did need to blend into the crowd of the school, since it seemed he was stuck here for the foreseeable future. So as the students began to gather around to watch the circus Joel joined them, sitting near the front. Watching would pass the time, if nothing else. Joel had become painfully aware of time since landing on Earth. He slouched a little, a very casual and aloof gesture, but still applauded politely as the show began. The attractive brunette took center stage, introducing herself as the ring master and giving a name to match to the face. Shayne Sinclaire.
Joel watched the opening act with the rest of the students, his expression politely interested as the elemental demons displayed their talents, but he always found his gaze flickering back to Shayne. What was it about her that seemed to interest him? It couldn't have just been her looks, since he had spent so many years not thinking or caring about details like that. He just seemed to sense more to her than the typical demonic student, but his senses weren't nearly as acute as they used to be in this body.
The elementals were pretty to watch, but nothing of real interest happened until the second act. It seemed find one moment, but then there were screams as the demon launched a fireball out of the show area and towards the rest of the carnival. Joel leaned forward slightly, initially watched the flames traveling towards an unlucky booth before Shayne's movements caught his eye. He watched as she directed the hounds that had flanked her before, and the flames split into two before the hounds redirected back to the makeshift arena. By now the crowd was over the initial shock and was clapping for the wonderful trick, and Joel clapped as well, a genuine gesture. His eyes never left Shayne, and the smile on his lips the slightest bit impressed by her display. Perhaps he had finally found something interesting on Earth after all.

Allie was grateful for the nearly destructive ball of flames that had nearly incinerated her, as horrible as that sounded. She had been busying herself with last minute touches on the witch and wizard booth when she had heard a voice address her. A really nice sounding male voice. She had turned her head and found herself face to face with a boy she knew only by sight and reputation.
As well as his smile. Beau Rivers was talking to her. And smiling at her. She'd heard rumors of that smile, but never would have expected to be on the receiving end of it. And she had felt quite distressed to find that his smile went above and beyond its reputation.
He had asked if he could play the game that they had set up, and her brain registered it. It just took a moment for the rest of her to catch up. "Um...," Allie had begun, when thankfully a flaming ball of death had saved her from making a complete fool of herself. A few of her witch classmates screamed, Allie herself seemed to jump out of her skin in shock, and Beau whirled away for a moment to face the swirling flames. But then Shayne Sinclaire and her hellhounds saved them all from being roasted alive, and after some uneasy laughs from the students at the booths around them the carnival resumed.
Allie had a moment to recover from the shocks of nearly being destroyed by flames just after a handsome incubus acknowledged her existence for the first time in four years. And when Beau turned around again, his nearly infuriatingly charming smile back on his face, and asked to play the game again Allie was ready for him. As ready as could be, at least. "Yeah...I mean no, I don't mind. It would be great. If you played." She wanted to slap herself, but she managed a genuinely sunny smile instead. "So it's one token per dart, and you get two tickets for each balloon you pop." Her hand hesitated over the selection of darts and she looked back up at Beau and prayed that she wouldn't blush when she met his gaze. "So, uh, how many darts would you like?"

Ack ended up going out and coming back after midnight, so tomorrow I will take an hour of my day to finally get this post to you. For sure.
I have like half a post written and I plan on getting it posted tomorrow evening.
Posted for you~ Sorry it took so long.
It only took a moment for the person in the office to respond, and at the sound of a female voice Felicia paused. Her lips flickered into a pleasantly surprised smile before pushing the door open and stepping inside. Her blue eyes swept the office momentarily, and she took the opportunity to appreciate the way offices were supposed to look opposed to her cramped cubicle and Gordon's closet. Then they found the source of the call and voice and Felicia's smile went a little wider. It was wrong but she had assumed the call had come from a man, and she was happy to discover that it was not the case. Still she hadn't expected someone so...young. Someone that couldn't have been much older than she was. Nor had she been expecting someone so attractive.
The woman was taller than Felicia, though that wasn't very shocking since the only people who were shorter than her were either twelve years old or younger. And there were probably some twelve year olds that were taller than her. The woman had brown hair, a lovely face, and an air of professionalism that Felicia herself should probably embody more often in the office. She was quiet for a moment as she looked at the other woman, blaming it on the shortage of young women in the IT department, then she smiled and allowed herself a small laugh and nod in response to the woman's statement. "Happens to the best of us. Usually at the most inconvenient times, right?"
The woman moved out of her way and Felicia stepped forward until she sunk down in the office chair. For a moment she wanted to settle back like she would in her cubicle, just to see what it felt like in a proper office. But she restrained herself. It would look unprofessional, not that she usually cared very much, but in front of this woman she did. She wanted to...impress her. Maybe. Felicia looked up at her, noting the phone in her hand before speaking. "I'll take a look. It's a pretty common problem, so it shouldn't take too long..." The woman had busied herself with her phone, clearly not one for small talk, and Felicia got the message. She turned her gaze from the woman to the computer and got to work.
True to her words it did not take long. Felicia wasn't sure if she was so good at this job because of her legitimate college training, or her secretive illegitimate training with Jason. Maybe it was a mixture of the two. But after diagnosing the problem of software that was either old, faulty, or not installed properly it was a relatively quick and easy fix. The only arduous tasks were waiting for the software to uninstall and waiting for the new software to install. She thought about striking up a conversation to pass the time, but decided against it. The woman didn't look completely unapproachable, but she didn't look like she wanted to engage in mindless chatter, either. So Felicia waited until she booted the computer up in Safe Mode and a few minutes later she cleared her throat to catch the woman's attention.
Felicia was grinning, unable to not feel at least a little pleased with herself, and she rose to her feet and nodded at the monitor, the screen restored to whatever the woman had been doing earlier. She took a couple of steps back from the chair, giving her room to sit back at her desk. "Well you're back to normal now. It was a software issue. Either it was bad or it wasn't installed into the system correctly. Pretty common, actually. I installed a new software and made sure everything was set up properly. So you shouldn't be having this problem again, Ms..." Felicia trailed off, smiling expectantly as she waited for the woman to give her a name. She supposed that if she really wanted to know what her name was she didn't need the woman to tell her. But that was...rude. And creepy. And Felicia had to draw the line somewhere.

Yeeeesh sorry it's taking so long. My parents were getting new carpet installed this week and it ate up a lot of my time/energy moving stuff and getting out of the way and what not. Hopefully will get something up tonight~
Got back this afternoon but I'm too wiped out from international travel to write a cohesive post. I will work on it over the next couple of days, though, so keep your eyes peeled~
