antiiquated:
It was a struggle as Jacob attempted to keep a laugh at bay, but it proved difficult as he let out a small version of it. “Can’t say I’ve heard that before,” he commented, watching her rather than the screen of vivid images. A plethora of genitals wasn’t on his daily agenda. “I would help you, but my usual go to when it comes to technology is gentle and repeated— bashing.”
“ I’ve already lost a few computers to a not-so-gentle bashing, this one cost me a small fortune too, so I'd rather refrain...” It was proving difficult, however, and her patience was wearing extremely thin. Sitting back in her chair, Caroline ran a hand through her hair before letting out a small laugh, “ You know, I’m pretty sure I’m cursed when it comes to this sort of stuff - I’m more of a pen and paper kinda gal.”
grayson-tavere:
“You know I’ve fired people for less don’t you?” a teasing jest as Grayson pretended to stab her thieving hand — all in vain to protect his fries. “Next time there’s fries on your plate, I’m coming for you. Alright, I’m listening — what’s going on?”
“ You’d miss me too much to fire me.” Eyebrows rose in amusement as she sucked the salt from her fingers, “what do you mean ‘next time’? I'm still convinced it was you who stole my sandwich from the office. Anyway, a friend of mine has invested in this small local brewery, he wants me to go and sample some stuff - hey, why don’t you come with, that way you can be the bad guy if you don’t like it and say we won’t stock it.”
ofvalcncia:
Valencia was cleaning the counter when she heard Caroline, the club manager, typing furiously and her amusing/funny reaction afterwards. For a moment, the werewolf allowed herself to let out a small chuckle at the blonde, though it was quickly swallowed after Caroline spoke to her. “Even if it was, it’s no one’s business, right?” The brunette quirked her eyebrow before she walked around the bar and stood on Caroline’s side. “Shutting it off should work.”
“ I mean, I’m all for the sexual liberation of women and all, but this is inappropriate even for me.” She laughed as she buried her head in her hands and peeked through her fingers at Valencia, “ don’t tell Grayson about this? I wouldn’t fucking hear the end of it.” With a groan, Caroline tried what was suggested and thankfully, it seemed to do the job. “ Oh thank you, Valencia, you are a lifesaver sweetie.”
citznscldier:
There was barely a pause between the last of Caroline’s sentence and the laughter that rippled from Quinn’s body. “Sounds… hot,” she tried to joke between a snort. “Okay, okay… I’m done.” She crossed the floor and stood behind the blonde’s chair, her nose wrinkling up at the screen. “I’m NOT an expert, but my IT expert at the station as been teaching me a few things so maybe I could just —” The sheriff leant forward and began keying in a few commands, tongue almost between her teeth as she CONCENTRATED on recalling the things that Kieran had taught her. “Okay, I think that’s – nope, nope. That didn’t work.” She stood up straight and placed her hands upon her hips. “I know this is one of the most OBVIOUS AND ANNOYING questions to be asked, but have you tried turning it on and off again?”
Caroline sat back in her chair as she let her friend attempt to eradicate this little technological problem she had going on. Amusement painted her countenance as not only did the porn not go away, somehow it managed to get even more obscene. The blonde blinked a few times with a tilted head as she tried to make out the position of the couple on the screen, “ oh boy...” Laughter ensued and she ran a hand through her hair before looking up at Quinn, “ oh - actually, no, I haven’t!” Holding down the button, the screen flickered to black and with a proud smile she turned in her chair and faced her friend. “ I’ll sort that out later - so, what are we doing tonight?”
kennedyashmore:
Kennedy looked away as if it was out of courtesy and he was giving the woman her privacy. “There might be a virus…” His head dipped lower after realizing that he had probably said the obvious. The woman probably thought he was being dumb for stating it when everyone could see that the computer was not doing what she wanted. Now, he wanted to suggest to take it to the shop but surely she knew that too. Should he say it still? Maybe he’ll keep quiet. But what if she’s looking for an answer from him? Kennedy refused to meet her eyes, “Sorry..”
“ A virus...” She’d had one of those before, well not her personally, but her numerous computers over the year and still, Caro was none the wiser as to what that actually meant in technical terms. “...Should I give it a bit of tylenol and put it to bed?” She jested with a smile, which slipped slightly when she noticed the younger man's discomfort - shit, she hoped she hadn’t offended him. Closing the lid, Caroline pushed it to one side, “ sorry about that, I’ll get someone to look at it later, you want another drink or something?”
corruptedgraphicscard:
Kieran could swear she was a fucking magnet for these things, but still managed to find the humor in the site before her. “I think if you say it just a tad louder, the people on the space station could hear you too,” she smirked, walking over to the woman’s table to take a look. “Yeah, yeah, that’s what all they say. May I?” she asked pointing at her laptop.
“ I only needed you to hear me, my IT angel,” Caroline grinned as she stepped aside to let the woman work her magic. “ Seriously, will you please give me a lesson on the do’s and don’ts of computing - I really can’t afford to buy another laptop because of one of those illness thingies.”
braxtonthebeta:
The wolf howled with laughter when he saw what was on the woman’s screen. “Oh man.” He continued to laugh without a break for air. “What the hell did you even-” Another fit of laughter, “It’s all good, beautiful, everyone’s got their kink.”
His laughter was infectious and quickly, Caroline found herself laughing along with him, her head in her hands trying to stifle her growing embarrassment. “ I promise this wasn’t intentional, especially not at work. Now quit laughing at me and help...please? I don’t think I could stomach taking this to the shop to get it fixed.”
stylesmckinley:
As much as he wanted to remain as serious as he could, the situation was quite funny, and Styles couldn’t stop an amused laugh from leaving his lips. “I’m not an expert, but maybe if you tried rebooting your computer? It usually works for me.” He said with a shrug, before realizing what he just said. “Not that this happens to me often.”
“ Sure it doesn’t, sweetheart.” Caroline winked playfully before turning her attention back to the computer screen, “ okay so...rebooting it, hm, now where is the on/off switch?” She mused aloud to herself, before raising her gaze back towards him, “ I usually just close the lid...help?”
aileenfrazier:
Hearing the voice, Aileen jumped a little, stepping back from the door. “I wasn’t trying anything weird.” She explained before turning to look at the other, her eyes immediately recognizing her. “Caroline? Hey, it’s me, Aileen.” She grinned, hoping the other wouldn’t get a bad idea of her now.
Now she was embarrassed, “ shit, it is you...” ( She really needed to start wearing her contacts again,) “... I’m sorry, sweetie - vision as good as my gran’s at night.” Caroline laughed shaking her head slightly as she approached the woman. “ You know, you really should declare any misdemeanors when applying for jobs,” she teased, lips curling up to form a smile, “ I’m teasing...did you need something important from the shop.”
rosaliexleblanc:
Rosalie quirked an eyebrow amusedly. She really didn’t know that much about computers and those kinds of things to begin with, but even she knew not to click on certain things. “Did you click on something you shouldn’t have…? I’m afraid I can’t really help you because I don’t have much knowledge about computers. I’d say just restart it.”
“ Yeah...well, with hindsight I guess ‘click here to win a surprise’ kinda lured me into a false sense of security,” Caroline admitted as her cheeks began to flush, this was just the cherry on top of a long day. “ To be fair - I definitely got a surprise.” A brow raised at the suggestion and she held down the restart key until the screen went blank. “ I’ll just leave it off for a bit I think. Another drink?”
hey everyone! i’m quite gutted but due to lack of resources with Nora i’m having to change her FC - I’ve decided to go with Margot Robbie ( who i don’t think i’ve ever used as an fc before so this will be fun! ) anyhoo, just giving you all a heads up as to why i’ll be changing gifs ect mid-thread!
“ Okay, this certainly isn’t right...” Fingers furiously tapped away on the keys to her laptop as a frustrated groan emulated around the Circle. “ Oh crap. no, okay - help somebody, there are so many dicks and vaginas on my screen right now.” Caro grimaced as she looked up from the screen, towards the undoubtedly amused bystander ( it was a good job the club was otherwise dead ) “ I swear this wasn’t intentional, but I seem to be stuck in a porn loop.”
One of the disadvantages of working late, and waking up in the afternoon, was that if she spent just a bit too long getting ready or staying in her bed, all the shops would be closed by the time she got there. Which happened to be the case here. “Damnit.” Aileen muttered, hopelessly trying to open the door, but it remained locked.
Caroline approached the woman with some sense of trepidation, she wasn’t entirely sure whether or not to call the cops, she opted to call out instead. “ Erm...hi, you know that place shuts at seven right?” Glancing at her watch, eyebrows knitted together, “ and its now seven-thirty...do you need something desperately from there, or are you trying to gain forced entry - it it’s the latter, i would advise against it.”
grayson-tavere:
“Interrupting a guy while he’s eating? Damn, that’s cold. Look, you know I’ll help you with whatever it is you’re asking for, but you hear that sound? That’s my stomach. So either sit down and join me or catch me after work; your call.”
“ Given the amount of times you’ve interrupted my eating schedule, consider this payback. Oh how sweet vengeance is.” Caroline grinned as she took a seat opposite her boss and reached across to pinch a couple of fries off his place, “ Hm, tastes damn good too -- anyway, it can’t wait, I need to rush off later.”
lorelai-pierce:
“Why do some people think its a good idea to drink until they can barely see and then get behind the wheel of a car? I had to treat not only the drunken idiot but also the woman he callously hit. Thank goodness she was okay but damn, think before you do something stupid.”
“ Oh, I know the answer to that...” Her beverage brought to her rouged lips, Caroline sipped her wine before continuing, “ it’s the same reason why I think I can hit the notes to Whitney Huston’s I will always love you after a couple of tequila's - alcohol is an enabler. I hope he got what he deserved, though - that poor woman. Would it be wrong of us to drink to her speedy recovery?”
