Office hours [All day]

[sith_happened]

Vader was in his office, unpacking his latest collection of breakable things from Ikea.

Amazing, really, how many he'd broken over the last few months.

Except not really.

The door was open.

Wilson had finished up his class and a few handwavey errands around the school but that didn't keep him from swinging by his office to pick up a fresh steaming mug of 100% Pure Peaberry Kona coffee (http://www.konacoffee.com/orderform.html).

It was a nice medium dark roast, with a delightful nose that carried all the delicious complexities of the coffee in the steam.

Mug in hand, satchel over his shoulder, Wilson made his way to Vader's door, knocking lightly on the frame...though, really the coffee steam probably got to the Sith Lord first.

"Lord Vader?"

[sith_happened]

"Doctor Wilson," Vader replied, nodding his head.

Taking that as a positive sign, Wilson slipped in and placed the mug on the desk.

"I won't bother you long, just wanted to drop this off. It's a really nice Kona. If you like it, I'll bring more next week."

Smiling, Wilson settled the satchel on his shoulder. "Oh! Do you like 'Othello'?"

[sith_happened]

Vader glanced up quickly from the coffee mug.

A story about love gone wrong because of unfounded jealousy? No resonance with Vader's life. Really.

"No," he growled. "Not at all."

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Said Wilson. "It's such a neat little game but still has some nice strategic elements, I was thinking about bringing it by next week."

[sith_happened]

Vader cocked his head. "Game?" he echoed. "Not play?"

[dr-jwilsonmd.livejournal.com]

"Game." Wilson assured him. "Black and white pieces on a board, strategy game to surround your opponant's pieces and flip them to your color, till your color dominates the board."

The young doctor grinned. "Fun, works the mind, doesn't require much chatting and goes well with coffee."

[sith_happened]

Fun held very little appeal to Vader...but domination he could get behind.

"Very well," he said, nodding his head.

"Great! I'll bring it by next Tuesday." Wilson promised with a grin.

"Enjoy your coffee." He waved and slipped on out the door.

"Good afternoon," Rory said, knocking on the door.

Today she was wearing her hair up in two buns on either side of her head, in a style that Vader would likely recognize as that sported by his little girl omg Princess Leia.

"How are you, Lord Vader?"

[sith_happened]

Vader stared at Rory for a moment too long before responding.

"Busy."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"I brought you another gift," she said brightly. "It's to help your image."

[sith_happened]

"Really," Vader replied dryly.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory pulled a box (http://www.absoluteties.com/flowerpowertie.html) out from behind her back. "Really," she said sincerely. "I think you scare people. This might help."

[sith_happened]

Vader was flooded with memories of incredibly stupid hats she'd gotten him to wear.

"I'm not wearing it," he said, voice far harsher than necessary.

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Do you need help tying it?" she asked gently. "I went to private school, so I'm really good at doing Windsor knots by now."

[sith_happened]

...and there was another memory he didn't need to remember.

"I'm not wearing it," he repeated.

Doors being open or closed do not concern Schrodinger.

Concepts like "Doors", "looks" "enormous distances spanning anywhere from across oceans to light years" are for other people who are not him.

"Guten tag, Herr Vader."

[sith_happened]

"Schrodinger," Vader replied with a nod.

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Redecorating? Need help?"

[sith_happened]

"If you'd like," Vader said. "I've discovered that breaking things can be quite...cathartic after a frustrating day."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger shrugged. "I don't have much else to do. What's been so frustrating?"

[sith_happened]

"Slightly unreasonable expectations from my master," Vader said evasively. "And my students are irritating and not killable."

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Would it help if I let you snap my neck or something?" Schrodinger asked in a rare moment of generosity.

[sith_happened]

Vader thought about it. "Yes," he decided finally, and reached into the Force to slam Schrodinger into the wall.
