<div align="center"><strong>Headquarters, St. Cloud, Florida; Siouxsie; Anyone, Particularly Shadow</strong></div><br/><br/>The office door opened and Ferdi exited, his tail wagging as he was fully aware that the place had filled up during the conversation his charge was having. Said charge, better known as Siouxsie walked out, shuffling a page of notes she had briskly jotted down in short hand. She froze in place to glimpse her reflection in the office wind to ensure her hair was still neat and curled in the appropriate places, and then let the door shut behind her so she could walk back up to the receptionist desk with Ferdi in tow. The notes were divided between a couple three ring binders and set aside. She was about to go and say hello to everybody, but she looked up and realized the whole room was practically askew (to her).<br/><br/>Siouxsie grabbed the counter and swept the room repeatedly with her eyes until she finally fixated on where the balance had been thrown off. Her brows furrowed on her forehead and she rounded the counter with a swirl of her polkadot skirt and approached the<em>very much alive</em>fern in the right hand corner. Yes, yes she could see that some filthy little panty snatcher had wounded her fern and thrown the whole reception area's feng shui off by doing it. She bristled, her red lips forming a terse red line as she spent the next ten minutes rearranging the receptionist area in order to bring the feng shui back. Ferdi watched the entire time, feeling his charge's upset and making sure she didn't need intervention. Since she got most of her frustration out by moving couches in stiletto heels and turning ferns so that their flaws faced the wall, she was essentially fine again.<br/><br/>Standing back, Siouxsie released a sigh of relief and went to her purse behind the counter. She pulled a perfume bottle out and sprayed herself once and then spent another few minutes primping herself up again. Once she was all glued back together and what-have-you Siouxsie went towards the WAR Rooms, stopping in I first. Her gaze smartly swept over Semi and Pancho, seeking out the stolen fern, but when she saw nothing her face brightened into a cheery smile. "Hi guys, help yourself to the water," she said, pointing to the pitcher and cups she had set on the table. "See you in a few!" And she was gone again, Ferdi stuck his head inside too, sniffing the air. There was no food so didn't care to go in and instead followed his charge towards WRII.<br/><br/>At the doorway, her gaze once again swept the occupants, Dick, Red, and Shadow--who was<em>wearing</em>her fern frond as a feather! Her eyes narrowed, but she smiled falsely at everyone inside, "Hi! You guys have some more time because I'm giving the briefing to the guys in room one first. They leave before you anyways," she said to everyone and walked inside. Making her way towards Shadow, she stared down at his camouflaged face with pursed lips. Behind her, Ferdi sat on his haunches with his large ears pointed straight up and watched the following exchange avidly. "You picked one of my ferns. And you smell,"  she leaned down a little towards him, her left hand on her hip. "That was mean."<br/><br/>She straightened and made as if to go. But instead, she moved to the side and unscrewed the bottle of perfume, turned, and dumped the entire contents on his hat and down his back. The bottle was given a good hard shake to loosen any droplets onto him and then she glared at him. "Do that again, Shadow and I'll spank you with The Stig," her golden brows rose dramatically on her forehead to make her point clear. Turning back to everyone else just as the powerful smell of roses and amber began to fill the air, Siouxsie smiled at Dick and Red in a much more genuine manner.<br/><br/>"I'll bring you guys a pitcher of water," she said sweetly and left the room in a flurry of polkadots and silk.
