Characters: Vril II and Amanda. Prompt: Curtain shopping. For <user site="livejournal.com" user="odd
The message came through, triple-encrypted and translated out of proto-Interlac, and marked for Amanda's eyes only: "Meet me Probst, 29n57, 90w05, Sol III, 2000 local time."
The technician, used to strange special ops assignments, barely bothered to be curious about the message's origins, and passed it on without comment.
It only created *slightly* more interest when Amanda indicated that she would be out for the evening. There was a little minor speculation that she may have (at long last!) found herself a romantic interest, but no one really believed it.

Vril Dox's "shore leave" inevitably created more of a stir, at least among the inner circles of L.E.G.I.O.N. Bek complained bitterly about the lack of notice and accused Vril of leaving him high and dry when he needed *dozens* of papers signed, but he always did, and dealing with Phase for the evening was easier anyway.
Everyone else just put up their feet for the evening and speculated about what nefarious plot he was going to drag them into *now*. Reports of his heading toward the Sol system did *not* bode well; Earth heroes were always trouble.
At least Lobo was on a mission somewhere else.

"Curtains?" asked Phase.
"To state the obvious, yes." Vril looked strangely happy, through his usual insufferableness. "Bek! Have these hung up in the waiting room."
Grumbling, Bek did so. They were pink striped, and clashed.
"Oh, and I've got some info on some space pirates operating through Thanagar. A rather primitive memory disk is in the curtain rod."
Life was as usual, in L.E.G.I.O.N.

"Curtains?" asked Flag.
"Yes. Curtains." More curiously than her purchase, Amanda actually looked to be in a good mood. Maybe there was something to the rumors--although that didn't explain the curtains. Maybe curtains just made the Wall happy. "Gather the troops; I've got an assignment for them."
