[Dawn has been busy today. She's picked up Tony's dry cleaning, ordered coffee and donuts delivered to each City Solutions department with a little note that reads 'Have a good day. -Dawn Summers'. She's moving from department to department in the City Solutions building checking on projects and progress just to see where everyone is at this point and what supplies need to be ordered. Yep, she's working through her to-do list and feeling very productive. Now if she could just find the time to get her own things done too.

The audio feature comes onto the network with a Dawn voice behind it.]

Just a reminder to the City populace that City Solutions is always looking for new employees. If your specialty is in robotics, weapons, programming, medical engineering, physics, chemistry and other cool things like that, let's have a chat. We also supply funding and necessary electronics, should they be needed, to up and coming businesses in the City that need a little help getting off the ground. So if that's your thing too, let me know.

[ Private to housemates... & Faith ]

I'm thinking about trying to cook something that isn't dessert for dinner tonight. So I'll be stopping by the store on the way home. Anything we need slash want slash desire slash have to have? I'll add it to the list!

ooc: Any City Solutions staff feel free to run into her as she's running about. And I'm gonna put a dinner thread in here too so the Warehouse people can congregate for dinner.

[Dean hugs her back, picking her up off her feet as he usually does before sitting her back down on them.]

Nah, even if it weren't this really isn't my schtick, y'know? Out making sure everything is what passes for normal around here.

[She leans back to look at him.]

Yeah, you don't really seem the office-y type. But it does look like we're back to city!normal now. So we kind of know what to expect now instead of the nothing that made us feel like something big was coming.

Yeah. Seems like it's gotten back to normal. [Which is Dean's cue. He pulls out a strip of condoms.] My present to you. Tell him to bag it.

[She naturally takes whatever Dean is handing her without even thinking about it. She trusts him, okay? But once she realizes what they are, Dawn goes through a number of emotions: shock, surprise, confusion, anger, then irritation.]

My sister would so kick your butt for giving me condoms and sex advice. Do you know how lucky you are that she isn't here? And really these should be handed to the boys not the girls. Boys are the ones with the things that should be bagged.

Squirt, you can't count on boys to have those things. They're gonna give you a bullshit line how it doesn't feel as good or they'll just pull out.

[She sighs and stuffs the condoms in her bag. He's probably right, but this is still so weird.]

So what are you today? The condom fairy? Cause you probably need wings for that. Fairies have wings.

Fairies are freaky little jerks! [He has a personal vendetta with fairies thank you very much.] I'm hella sexier than a fairy.

[She offers him a smile.] Okay, you are sexier than a fairy. Hella, even. But you have to admit you're being like a condom fairy today, or condom clause or something.

[Dean grins at Dawn then ponders this a moment.]

Condom Champion.

You know, I would go all scold-y you if that weren't so brilliant. Fiiiine, you're the condom champion. Now you need a cape... maybe a scepter.

[Dean winks at her.] I'll settle for my leather jacket and a colt .45

Alright, keep being sexy. See if I care. Thanks for the protection, even if it's a little weird to get it from you, whom I am not sleeping with.

Just watching out for you, Squirt. [And he winks at her]

[She's gonna give him another hug because obviously he has things to do with the condoms. Not like those kinds of things to do, as in passing them out.]

Sometimes I need looking after, and it's different coming from people on the outside of scooby world. So thanks.

[He doesn't mind the hugs from pretty girls.]

No problem. Not like I'd stop anyway.
