-"Oh good I knew this was a good place," Mark interrupted, rubbing his hands, totally not minding that Gale just flat out closed his laptop, "so I'm thinking of setting up part time residency here, you know, just for security measures, and so on, nothing too alarming. A man's gotta have some privacy, you know, and these days, people are all over my lair and stuff."
He took off his coat and made himself a little more comfortable on the ground, and his t-shirt notably said Expert Hadron Collider.

The idea of Mark living in his office had about the same effect as Bix telling him that he was turning into a turnip. Gale just stared at him for an extended period of time that was probably too much time and not a lot all at the same time.
"Mark," said Gale pleasantly. "Get out of my office."

"Our office," Mark amended, "So I think we should install another cable jack on that wall, and I'll get a guy to look at your wiring setup, it's kind of wonky right now."
The Death assistant gave the office a full once over. "Huh. This place looks like that place that those dudes over at life didn't want because of some sort of biohazard leak problem or something." He scratched his head and shrugged.

Gale was starting to wonder if Mark had a hearing problem. Or a comprehension problem.
Or just really any problem.
"Mark," said Gale once more, attempting to be pleasant about the whole thing. "Why don't you, errrr....how about no cables, just take your..." he gestured vaguely at Mark's shirt. "Hadron whatever and go, this office is not big enough for the both of us."

It was very, very possible Mark indeed had some sort of comprehension problem, or just chose very deliberately to ignore certain parts. Namely, all of the parts.
"If I'm in the office, it fits," he fiddled with the power cords he was setting up in a bundle, "who gave you this office anyway, you could have asked for a bigger one, you know."

There was a long pause.
"I acquired it," said Gale indignantly. "When I was promoted with my specialization. I was allowed to have my own office within the Death Division - and wait just a minute, you're the one who's invading, if it's so small, get me a bigger office."

The laptop was pried open again, and there was a long pause as the Death assistant simply concentrated on typing. "Uh huh," he said absently and then paused to look up at Gale in the middle of some long paragraph of type. "What's a synonym for 'sadly'.

There was a long and very obvious silence.
" 'Pathetically,' " said Gale, with an extremely pointed look at Mark.

"Hmm, that's no good, I'm looking for something with a little more oomph to it, this is someone dying you know, you can't just die pathetically." Mark deeply considered his typing. "Oh I know - how about 'he lived as he died, tragically remembered in the hearts of others'."
Without actually waiting for Gale's response, he wrote everything out and hit submit, rubbing his hands together. For a moment he just stared at Gale before remembering he wasn't actually at his lair. "Oh right, so about the wiring. If you pay me five hundred I'll find a guy that can hook you up, and it'll be like flawless and stuff."

"Oh believe me," said Gale. "You can definitely die pathetically, especially if you're a certain someone."
He had no idea what Mark was writing, and wasn't quite sure he actually wanted to know. The Division assistant was given a highly suspicious look; it wasn't as though Gale didn't have the money, but giving the money to Mark was severely questionable.
"I'm concerned about your definition of flawless."

Mark was already knocking on the other side of the wall, testing its strength. "Do you know who works on the other side? I mean it is possible nobody is there, and then we could just collapse this wall and make this Gale and Mark's lair of awesome. Actually no, scratch that, make that Mark and Gale's lair of awesome and stuff." There were air quotes.
It was then that Mark's computer pinged, quite literally a ping to say download complete in a popup window as a video began to buffer. "Hey Gale! Come over here, I want to show you some classified secret stuff."
Without waiting for Gale, he began to play the video which indeed showed classified secret things involving the ladies shower.

Gale was relatively certain that there was no one in either office to his right or his left, and therefore all of the noise and hubub Mark was making was probably not affecting anyone - but that was entirely beside the point. The point was that - well, Gale had sort of lost track of the point by now.
He stepped over, suspiciously, and peered down at the screen.
Approximately two seconds later Gale leapt backwards with a squawk, face a rather impressive shade of scarlet, and attempted to kick Mark from behind.
"What the bloody hell are you doing turn that off right now - "

"It's cool," Mark winked, missing the point for the ten billionth time, "I won't tell your girlfriend. And your boyfriend."

"I'm not doing anything wrong," said Gale in exasperation.
"Wait, what boyfriend?"

"Tip from anon," Mark replied helpfully. He paused. "Aren't you and Lucky doing the you know?"
