Max looks around the roof at the audience.
"You demanded my presence Miss Mia Mulholland, and I do hate to disappoint, so here I am"
He smirks, then bows , hiding it.

"You know I know you were never dating, right?" Daniel opines. To the world at large.

An angry headbutt momentarily stuns Cassie, buying Bia just enough time to wrench her bloodied ear free of the girl's teeth and leap up onto the ledge at the very edge of the roof. There, teetering precariously, she aims a look of utter contempt at Arkady, letting him feel every bit of his his utter powerlessness before she acts.

"Don't be ridiculous, Daniel - of course we were dating," says Mia, swiftly. "We were ridiculously, passionately, in - er - love. For three whole days. Until I found out he was taking advantage of my after-hours library access, and everything he ever told me had been a lie."
She gives Max a sharp 'corroborate this or suffer the consequences' glance.

Max's eyebrows climb briefly and then he smiles, predatory.
"In truth, I had hoped to ask you out again, if you could forgive me"

Everything Daniel thought he knew is a lie.

Mia narrows her eyes. As always with Max, capitulation comes at a price.
"I don't know," she says, completely toneless. "You broke my heart. All very devastating. You don't just get over something like that, and it's probably best if we just move on with our lives, don't you think?"

Arkady fires the secondary warhead, equipped with what might charitably be called a stink bomb, but frankly is more like an exceptionally potent pepper spray. As everybody stumbles, he dashes forward to grab Cassie out of the arms of a temporarily stunned Bia, massive parka pulled up over his face.

He then grabs all that is salvageable from the desk, and the tuba, and buggers off down the stairs before Bia can clear her head.

Bia loses her balance, and oh-so-slowly tumbles backwards. Seconds later there comes a sickening thump, followed by several quieter thumps in quick succession. By the time anyone can peer down at the scene below, however, Bia is nowhere in sight. All that remain are several large dents in the tarmac.

Max weighs his options. On one hand the roof is one of the best places for this conversation, on the other pepper spray and a sensitive nose.
He offers an arm to Mia, "Could we perhaps continue this conversation elsewhere, without the audience?"

Wrinkling her nose – whether at the gesture or at the quickly-pervading stench, it’s difficult to say – Mia turns to Daniel. “Do you mind? I’ve a sudden yet very pressing desire to lend an ear to his insincere protestations.”
Without waiting for a response, she turns back, and – with considerable dignity – gingerly places her hand on the proffered arm.
“Where to, Mr. Byrd?” she asks, wryly.

"I have an idea" And he wheels, keeping Mia on his arm and the pair of them leave the roof, and Daniel, behind. [Heading down to here] |
