Samantha's inna bar...atta booth!!

No paperwork this time, but a chocolate milkshake and what looks like a fingerprint kit and a remote control. She's cataloguing fingerprints, dog prints, hamster prints and cat prints off of the smooth back of the remote, for Tim.

Come and chat. Just don't knock over the powder.

It's just unusual enough to attract Remiel, who tilts his head curiously.

"Going to identify someone at a crime scene? I hope it's not the murder weapon."

Because a remote control would make a very odd murder weapon.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

Yes...that it would.

Sam glances up and grins. "Oh no, my brother's studying at Ruckers, and I just wanted to help. So he set me up with this stuff, and is making me document his homework for him."

[hope-halo.livejournal.com]

"Ah, well, that's much more comforting," Remiel chuckles, grinning back. "Your brother's studying forensics?"

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"And criminal justice." Sam screws the top onto the canister of powder, and then reaches into the bag by her side, and motions for him to sit down. "Sit."

She takes out index cards and compares the fingerprints on them to those on the page of samples from the remote.

Remiel needs no further invitation, and does, folding his hands in front of him on the table.

"That's very good of him -- it's not the most pleasant of fields, or so I've gathered."

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but he enjoys it." Sam grins over at him, writing down names next to the samples on the paper. Samantha, Andrew, Mom, Tim and what looks like various animal names.

"I'm Samantha." Sam looks up and sticks her hand out to him.

[hope-halo.livejournal.com]

"It would certainly be interesting."

He shakes the offered hand, smiling warmly.

"Remiel. Been here long?"

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"I come here at least every week. I used to be Bound, and I was here for like...a month and a half. Then I went home, and was gone for four months, though it was just a week here..." Sam shakes her head and finishes the last fingerprint, marking it Andrew.

She looks up. "How about you?"

[hope-halo.livejournal.com]

"A month or so, I think. Time's never really been an issue with me." One thing about being immortal. "Probably why I enjoy this place so much."

That, and confusing people is fun, although he'd never admit it.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"Well I'm glad you enjoy it. I hated it my first few weeks. I really wanted to go home." Sam puts the stuff in the bag.

[hope-halo.livejournal.com]

Remiel nods.

"I can see how not being able to leave... would be a dampening on the whole thing. What sort of home do you come from -- if you don't mind my asking?"

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"A...happy one? If somewhat weird." Sam nods.

[hope-halo.livejournal.com]

The angel laughs softly at that. He hasn't gotten the hang of Milliways slang.

"Fair enough. A little strangeness makes the world turn 'round. Unless it's here, in which case, it does a lot more than that..."

At a nearby booth, there's a Jaina taking a sip of water from a glass of water. Her hair's in a messy braid, and it's rather clear that she just got back from training outside. She hasn't noticed Sam yet, though.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

Sam glances up and sees Jaina. Not wanting to get up from her work, she balls up a piece of paper and throws it at Jaina's head. It hits.

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

Jaina frowns at the paper ball lying on the booth in front of her. She looks up, trying to figure out where it came from.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

Sam taps on her table and whistles innocently, taping a sample to a piece of paper.

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

There might be a paper ball flying in Sam's direction now, hitting the other woman on the forehead.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"Ow!" Sam grabs the powder container as the paper ball falls on the table. "Not fair. I have stuff that you could knock over!"

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

Jaina walks over to Sam's booth, remote and water glass in hand. "It's why we used the Force."

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

"Ah yes. The Force." Sam glares. "Aka, the Jedi's reason to cheat."

She sticks her tongue out and winks to indicate that she's joking. "How are you?"

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"It's not cheating," Jaina answers with a small grin on her face. She takes a seat across from Sam at the table, careful not to knock anything over.

"Been better," she answers truthfully.

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

Sam clears her project away, she can work on it later. Or in the thread above.

"I know the feeling. What's up?" Sam asks.

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"Was out back doing some lightsaber training."

No need to get into all the details of the past week. You know, the fight with Nathan, the kiss with Zekk, the arguments with Mara. All that fun stuff.

She looks at the remnants of Sam's project. "What were you working on?"

[unique-moments.livejournal.com]

Even though Samantha would love to hear about the kiss.

"And that's what made you feel bad? I am probably the reason for your friend Wes' break up with his girlfriend!"

Sam sighs and screws the top on the powder. "My brother's homework. I wanted to play with fingerprint stuff. So he made me do his homework."
