You might take the hard line
WHO: April Ludgate and Mitchell Hundred
WHERE: City Hall!
WHEN: Saturday Afternoon, 1 PM
WARNINGS: Mentions of drug use
SUMMARY: Mitchell was told that it was April who'd orchestrated the mishap with the brownies
FORMAT: Quicklog!
[ Edward and he had worked closer to the conclusion that it had been April who'd brought in the brownies, and put them on his desk. He couldn't fault anyone who'd taken them, and he wasn't keen to do any drug tests in City Hall for his own reasons. Notwithstanding the fact that in government, they rarely did them anyway. He waited, five until one, at his desk, another cup of coffee filled to the top with a black sludge that was masquerading as coffee, but was really just pure caffiene.
He waited, tapping the desk, finishing the last of the paper proposals that he could, passing the time until April actually showed up. ]

Three minutes early. No knock. Just April Ludgate suddenly in the doorway.]
People know I'm here.
no subject
[ He looked up, and eyebrows quirking only slightly. Early. He didn't believe it. She may be doing it to balk at his orders, but to him, it was that she was showing interest in what she was doing.
Or that she was that scared of what he'd do. That would work too. ]
You know why I called you here today?
no subject
No.
[Maybe it was the leaving only a teaspoon of coffee in the still hot pot so she technically didn't have to change it. Whatever the case, it was full on blank expression, on-going eye contact time. She could win this.]
no subject
He sighed. ]
April, A few weeks ago, something pretty shitty went down here, and whoever's responsible needs to take a very long look at their life, and realize that they were doing something that could seriously impact City Hall in general, and not in a good way.
no subject
[Except about a million people had, but where there was confusion and fear, April would cover.]
I don't care what Eddie told you.
no subject
[ He said it pointedly, reminding her that it wasn't Eddie, or it shouldn't be Eddie, not to her. If anything, he'd asked.
He folded his hands on his desk. ]
It was very serious, April. How do you feel about community service?
[ Eventually, she'd have to reach the conclusion to what he was talking about, without him having to actually bring it up, right? ]
no subject
[He asked. The point of using Eddie'd title is- what should be unsurprisingly- not in anyway noticed. But now she's leaning forward, hands on the arm of the chair, because what the hell, Mitch.]
I'm sorry. Is it election year or something. Do cameras come to Narnia with us?
no subject
[ He tipped his head slightly, hands spreading. ]
I know you were the one who tried to drug the staff, April.
no subject
[Drugging? Drugging. The needed amendment to her statement is put on hold as she tries to think of-
Oh.
Oh.
Fuck.]
Sharing. Does baking and sharing even sound like something I'm humanly capable of?
no subject
Hell, who knows, maybe you know someone who could bake it for you. You're lucky nobody was hurt, or got caught, or I'd say we could be seeing a firing right now, but you've always done good work, and I don't want to lose you on the staff.
Therefore, community service.
[ That, and it was just pot. Mitch may have a rather soft opinion on it, but that didn't mean he could let it slide entirely. ]
no subject
Fine.
Just. Fine.]
Whatever. Is that it?
no subject
[ Because he knows that April will probably at least do better with some sort of choice, even if she's trapped. ]
And hopefully, this'll keep you from being too fucking bored that you think this is a good idea.
no subject
[Because this was war. And also April standing up to go.
Worst Saturday ever.]
no subject
[ And that was the point. He waved her off with a hand, pretty much done. He could go on some boring fucking lecture, but he didn't want to delve into this too deeply.
After all, that could potentially implicate him in actually eating one. ]
Just let me know what you pick.
