Room 423, Thursday morning before classes [2/14]

Finding a suit and mask for Jeff was actually a lot easier than finding her dress. After making a quick phone call, Hoshi went back to contemplating her dress options while she waited for Jeff to swing by and pick up his suit.

[Hoshi's waiting for Union Jeff, but door and post are open for all! SP since I seem to be an insomniac.]

Hoshi was about to run next door to ask Carmela something, and that's when she spotted Jeff. "Hi! You got my message. I wasn't sure, because your communcator sounded weird."

"My phone has issues," Jeff replied, instantly. "You know what it's like, phones..." He trailed off. What was he here about again-- "Like wearing clothes!" he smoothly non-sequitured.

"Don't worry about the phones. They'll evolve a bit in the next century," said Hoshi. "So, here's the suit and tie (http://www.execstyle.com/Sproducts.asp?pid=1079#) I picked out, and then there's a mask (http://www.anytimecostumes.com/ecommerce/control/product/~product_id=01741216BLUE) that sorta matches the colors of the tie. What do you think?"

Jeff moved his head one way. Then he moved it the other. Then he moved it back to the first position before settling somewhere in the middle, shrugging his shoulders slightly, and said, "Well, it's not a phone."

Then shook his head repeatedly, "I mean, thanks! It's very--" How to have an opinion? "--Excellent."

"You're welcome. Actually, finding your stuff was easier than finding mine. So, do you and Turtle have any plans for Valentine's day?" asked Hoshi.

"It's very striped," Jeff offered as an after-thought, and in what he hoped was a grateful tone. It probably came out a little clumsier than he'd have hoped, though. "I don't know. She won't tell me."

"Pinstripes are safer than spots," said Hoshi. She couldn't help smirking. "She gets to make all the plans?"

Jeff scratched the back of his head, and said, with some helpless resignation, "It's probably safer."

"Probably," chuckled Hoshi.

"I'm going to be in my room all day. She might need me." Jeff paused, thinking this over thoroughly, worked himself up into a slight panic, came down from said panic, and said, all in the space of under a minute, "...Unless she expects me to be in her room."
