Who: Natasha Romanoff Natalie Rushman
Where: The school, her home, out and about around town
When: The duration of the event October 24-28
Rating: Anywhere from PG to MATURE, idek
Summary: Natasha's the school Guidance Counselor, spending her days dealing with problem teens and her evenings in search of a little uncomplicated fun and distractions. not that it always works out that way... Her plotting comment is over here

The Story:
The Office:
Natalie's office at the school is a bright and airy room at a corner of the building, where bright windows let in a lot of light. It's all tastefully decorated, all soothing neutral colors with the occasional splash of a vibrant red for an accent. Her door is always open unless she's seeing a student and while she often does her paperwork from behind her desk, when she gets a visitor, she's more often likely to come join them on the couch or the plush pair of overstuffed armchairs that takes up the far side of her office.

After Hours:
When not acting as the school's guidance counselor, Natalie tends to take a much more laid back and uncomplicated approach to life. She has a small house in one of the neighborhoods on the outskirts of town with a view of the water, something neat and trim and complete with a white picket fence - an irony that is not lost on her.

She can be found there on occasion but much more often she's out and about, a frequent visitor at the local diners and bars when she's looking for a bit of companionship, or at the gym or the dance studio when she's not. She likes keeping busy and is very emphatic about leaving her work for work hours, although sometimes that's not always possible. She's friendly but has a bit of a sharp tongue and a sly sense of humor and if you're looking for a little bit of uncomplicated, no-strings-attached fun, then you'll definitely have a better chance of catching her attention.

Robert is very much the quiet, studious type, something that never changed as he grew older. Unlike Robin Hood, his cursed persona is more of an introvert, tending to stay indoors when he's not working. He makes exceptions for his children and a few select others, but generally his happiest times are spent inside, reading and cooking, watching movies either by himself or with his children. He's only recently begun to think about dating again, and it's been years since his wife's death; he's never been in any hurry, and he's not all that invested in it, either. His children and his friends are enough.

He's also not much of a drinker - also unlike Robin - but he's good friends with the school guidance counselor, Natalie, and doesn't mind sometimes relaxing with a drink at the bar if he's in her company. He's a history teacher, and he's just finished grading all the exams from today. His reading glasses get tucked into his briefcase, and he makes his way to Natalie's office. Wearing corduroy pants, a button down shirt and a cashmere sweater vest, he obviously gives very little thought to making himself look in any way attractive when they go out like this, and he thinks his children care more about him dating than he does.

Knocking on her office door, he smiles as he steps inside. "Nearly done, Natalie? I thought perhaps since it's the weekend we've earned a drink?"

It's such a slight thing, really, just a small offer, but he's pleased to see it bring a smile to her face, and pleased to have a bit of time with her outside of work.

"Perhaps I can help with putting things away?"

Though he understands, since some of it might be organized a certain way and he might do more harm than good.

"Oh, no, you know me and my penchant for constantly working, Natalie," he teases back with a soft smile.

It's nice having friends who understand this particular job; not that he feels the need to vent often, but she understands him when he does.

"I'll even buy you a drink."
