<snip>This time she really laughed and pulled up the video file from the film. She cropped the next part of the sequence out, recoloured the cat to match her cartoon and watched it hit the trampoline, bounce back up and intercept the vial mid air. Laughing maniacally the cat shot past the films protagonists and then went crunch headfirst into an archway in the building. Here she cut it and added a small cartoon sign. Captain has head ache, medical assistance required
She saved the edited portion of the film and sent it back to Brad. Golfink could keep his editing processes, this sort of video creation she rather liked.

COHer commbadge chirped shortly thereafter. =/\= Do you really have a headache or are you just being silly? =/\=
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffShe hit it =^= I blame the end of mission reports. But no I didn’t crack my head off of a building after bouncing up off a giant trampoline.=^= she laughed unable to keep the amusement from her voice. =^= nor am I a cat you’ll be glad to know. We should watch this film sometime. =^=
Willow Taylor
CO=/\=That works because I’m not a llama either,=/\= Brad retorted. =/\=Also, do I even want to know how end of mission reports got you to do a cartoon of me transmogrifying myself?=/\=
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffWillow laughed again =^= I was just finishing and going through the manifest looking at promotions etc, then I saw your name and remembered the conversation the other day and well…I don’t know it seemed like the thing to do at the time. I’m either bored or delirious you pick.=^= she gave another light chuckle.
Willow Taylor
CO=/\=I’ll definitely lean more towards the latter if you’re thinking of promoting me again,=/\= Brad teased back. =/\=I’ll only be even worse if we’re equal rank. Imagine the shenanigans I can get up to then if you stay up past your bedtime.=/\=
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff=^= Dully noted, maybe I should think of demoting you if you pull that stunt again.= ^ = she pulled a face he couldn’t see. =^= But I promise if you really do transmogrify yourself, I’ll let you go home. Don’t worry.=^= she added and laughed again.
Did she sound mildly hysterical now? She wasn’t sure and it didn’t lend itself to not sounding delirious but even if it meant he came up to tell her off she couldn’t help herself, for some reason the whole thing was just really funny.
Willow Taylor
CO=/\=You’re making it sound like I should come up there right now and do it again,=/\= Brad replied, in a tone that made it clear he was frowning. =/\=How long have you been in your office?=/\=
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffShe felt a small deflation, she had been enjoying the teasing and while she didnt want him to come up and storm in part of her maybe wouldn’t mind the excuse to see him…she felt her heart skip. Not that she needed an excuse of course…why would she? Absently bringing a hand up to rub over the right side of her sternum as if this would make the fluttering and fuzzy feeling go away and realised she hadn’t answered him.
She coughed to clear her throat and said. =^= A few hours. Duty shift ended about an hour or so before I messaged you the first cartoon. I’m not tired. =^=
Willow Taylor
COThere was a brief pause. =/\=Alright, you’ve got five minutes, save all your work, I’ll be there shortly.=/\=
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffPanic! Why? she didn’t know. =^= I’m fine! Really you don’t need to come up here…=^= she sat up and looked at her work most of it was now sketches of cartoons and video editing. She closed those down and swept the PaDDs into the drawer. The others, the ones with actual work on it, she stacked and saved her place in the crew manifest and promotions log. Then she stood up, wring her hands. She felt giddy for some reason…should she tell him no again. Should she meet him half way…how long did it take to get to her office from his? Why had she never figured that out before? She paced towards the door. no! turned and paced back to the desk. Sat in her chair…got up. Paced back to the door.
Willow Taylor
COBefore she could sort her thoughts out, her door slid open to see a mostly-put-together Brad, still in his uniform but with his hair slightly disheveled.
“Oh good, you’re ready to go,” he said, sounding moderately pleased.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffWillow blinked at his sudden appearance and she felt the corners of her mouth turn upwards at the sight of him. “Yeah.” She said in response. “Where are we going?”
Willow Taylor
CO“Dinner, then maybe a movie?” he said. “My place this time.”
All of this, of course, was said with complete disregard for the number of ears in the vicinity.
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of StaffWillow let out a sigh of relief and smiling and stepped out into the corridor, her hand still absently running along her sternum. “Fair enough, that sounds actually really amazing right now.” She didn’t even pay any attention to anyone nearby. “But! Only if we watch the Emperor’s new groove.” She grinned.
Willow Taylor
CO“Of course,” Brad said with a smile. “To the secret lab?”
Cmdr. Dr. Brad Walker
Chief of Staff
“I don’t think we can justify refitting for the secret roller coaster.” She joked and walked with him down the corridor. “You know I thought you were coming to tell me off again.”
