WAR: LC and LN Return to CERK (1/1)
by Arletta Asbury and Cousin Shelley 
Timing: After "The Care and Feeding of a Vampire" by Cousin Shelley


Arletta and Shelley returned to CERK with Nick in tow.

"Whsss my couccch?" he slurred, "The bessst coucch
 in the wwholle <hiccup> worldd."

"Doesn't he know where he is?" asked Arletta.

"No, I think he's so drunk he believes this is the loft."
Shelley said rolling her eyes.

Just then Lacroix returned.  "Good! You found him.
Where was he?  As if I couldn't guess," he said wearily.

Shelley nodded, "Yup, he was at a bar.  I think he's even
*more* drunk now, if that's possible?"

Spotting one of the couchs nearby, Nick stumbled toward
it.  "Ththere yoou <hiccup> arrrre."   He touched it lovingly
before he fell onto it and passed out.

"And people say he loves his Caddy most in the world."
Arletta said, snickering.

Lacroix ignored her remark.  He said, "I think that I'll just
go to my quarters now.  "I'd like to lie down for a while.
It really has been a *most* unsatisfactory night."

"Your quarters?" Shelley asked. "Umm ....... the Couinsly
leaders have taken posession of it.  Weren't you assigned
one of the rooms on the 12th floor?"

Lacroix glared at her.  Or it would have been a glare if he
has posessed the energy.

"You can use our room," Arletta offered, pointing, "It's over
there."

Lacroix went into their room and slammed the door behind him."
