The Night Shift (1x1)
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → The Night Shift (1x1)"I think that would be a great idea. A little shop that has something for everyone. It can have a little food bar slash bakery in one corner, your clothing in another section, and perhaps I can do tech repair out of it..." Elvira moved to the oven to take out and cut the pizza as it dinged.
Nat waited for Danny to come back before she asked him a question. "Can I sit on your shoulders again? I feel very safe right there... Not that I don't feel safe here, just, well..."
"Oh! I adore that idea, so, so much! I think we should definitely think about doing that! Especially if we're a family and team," Roxy exclaimed, helping set up the cut pizza.
"Of course! I don't mind. I like you sitting there. It's like a comforting weight. Like a security blanket at night," Danny said, smiling. "My shoulders and the top of my head are free game."
"I agree. Perhaps if Nat found something she could do then we could have a station for her as well, or she could help cook and bake." Elvira gasped hoping Nat hadn't heard that. "She did want a job right?" She whispered to Roxy. "After we got the shop going and got some income, we could totally have her work there in the store. That way she and Danny could still be together... Heck, he could help out if he wanted, and then when there isn't anyone in the store they could do some homework..."
Nat hadn't heard what Elvira was talking about as she was focused on Danny. "Thank you, thank you so much." She hugged him, and shifted so that she ended up on his shoulders as a lizard, using her tail as a grip and counter balance as it hung down somewhat around his neck, but not tight at all.
Roxy beamed, kissing Elvira deeply. "Wonderfully intelligent woman, you! I love it! What about Angel and Sebastian? Think they'd like to fill in wherever? Maybe a health clinic to the side or something?"
Danny laughed, tickled by her tail. Leaning in, he bumped her lightly with his forehead. "Having fun?" he asked, grinning ear to ear.
Elvira chuckled and nodded. "We'll have to check on the liabilities and such for a clinic for her, but I think she would like that. Especially if the local hospitals don't take her... Though they'd be stupid not to." She turned to the others and grinned. "Pizza's ready!" She stepped aside so they could come up and take however many pieces they wanted.
Nat nodded her head and held onto his shirt with her claws as she used her tail to tickle him a little before stopping so nothing got broken or dropped.
"Oh, absolutely! She can use the shop as a place to sit down and unwind from a good days work at the hospital," Roxy agreed, snatching a slice of Hawaiian pizza.
Danny wiggled in place at the tickling. Snagging a plate, he said, "We can share this. What pizza would you like? I'll hold the plate up so we can both eat over it."
"Exactly." Elvira decided to try the Hawaiian finding it pretty good.
Nat looked between the two kinds and shook her head not minding which kind he took as she'd be willing to try them both.
Roxy smiled, watching Sebastians reaction while enjoying her slice. "Looks like we did good."
Danny picked up some of the Hawaiian pizza, keeping a slice on the plate for Nat as he munched on a slice with the other hand.
Elvira nodded as she ate hers. "Looks like it."
Nat shifted into a slightly different kind of lizard as she crawled down his arm and moved to the plate and took a bite of the pizza. Her little hands gripped his arm a bit more as her tail wagged showing her approval of the food.
Roxy leaned against Elvira, simply enjoying their friends and family. "...what are we going to do this week?" she asked of no one in particular.
Danny chuckled, watching Nat. Looking over at Roxy, he shrugged. "Nat and I were going to be learning. Night shifts planned?"
"I'm in the same boat as Angel. Classes and yeah, a few night shifts would be a good idea." Elvira added.
Nat glanced up at him and nodded before going back to eating the pizza.
Roxy giggled, realizing her mistake. "Oh, Sebastian, I'm sorry. We named ourselves that. When we go out and help people. I've got some studying and a few days of work, but other then that, I'm definitely down for some patrolling."
Danny snagged himself another piece, enjoying his pizza as the others made plans.
"I think that Danny did have a brilliant idea, and that when we do go out on shifts, that no one person goes alone. It's just safer that way." Elvira looked over to Nat and Danny, chuckling as she saw lizard Nat eating on Danny's hand. "Okay, that's cute, had to point that out. As I was trying to say, I think whichever pair isn't on patrol should take Nat and Danny out to train. That way they'll be able to go on patrols when they both get a little older." She turned to Roxy to get her opinion.
Nat hadn't even gotten through half of the piece when she found she was full. She crawled back up his arm to curl up around his shoulders.
Roxy nodded, in response to Elvira's suggestion. "I agree. Training them so that they won't be taken or hurt is a priority for sure."
Danny settled in, finishing his pizza with the zeal of a hungry teenager, he settled back against the counter, watching the group. "Training sounds pretty good to me."
"Maybe tonight we take the two of them out to the clearing and we could all do some training, and we could show our newest addition to the family what we can all do..." Elvira added.
Nat didn't even hear the comments about her as she fell asleep on her perch, her stomach quite full.
"Training after a video and movie marathon? Yes please! I always feel ready to tackle anything after watching superhero movies," Roxy admitted, grinning.
Danny smiled at the sleeping Nat, making sure the others didn't wake her. "I think she has the right idea...gonna go nap. We kind of didn't sleep."
"I know of a pretty secluded lake. The beach area has enough space for us, and the water is warm." Elvira was referencing the lake that Roxy had taken her to when they skinny dipped. She nodded at Danny but she was used to all nighters, so this wasn't new.
Nat made a small sound as she snuggled closer to Danny's neck following the warmth.
"We'll wake you if anything major happens, hon. You two sleep well," Roxy said. I quite like this lake," Roxy said, looking up and sharing a look with Elvira. "What about you, babe? I would go so far as to say it is my favorite."
Danny smiled, making his way to the couch and snuggling up on it. Holding Nat against his neck gently, he laid down so she was cradled against the back of the couch, his neck and shoulder.
Elvira nodded as she grinned down at Roxy remembering their swim very well. "I would say it's my favorite swimming spot as well," Her grin grew into a smirk as she pulled Roxy a bit closer, her fingers gently holding Roxy's hip. "One of my favorite memories was made there as well,"
Nat remained peacefully sleeping, and only woke just enough to adjust herself into another form so she wouldn't accidentally claw him.
Roxy smirked, leaning up on her tip toes to kiss her nose. "Mmm...that it as...what a wonderful memory that is too," she purred, her arms looping together behind El's neck.
Danny smiled, falling asleep.
