((In response to THIS SIGNUP. )) Sasha Belrose was a name he heard before, and while there could be plenty of Sasha's around, he did remember hearing Jerry talk about her with Wash when they were sent to clean up the school in town. Considering a few things, Jerry seemed to be with this girl, and he had to wonder how a janitor-looking drug addict managed to get anyone. Already he pitied this girl, but some women liked bad boys.
It wasn't his place, and considering that he knew that Jerry probably liked her, it was rather easy to pass off a rose to her. Secret Admirer was a piece of cake to pass off when you knew there was interest in their direction. It also made him feel like he was lying less and just doing a kind act instead of whatever shady business he was being sent to do.
Finding her door, he gave a few knocks and waited.

It was a rare occasion for Sasha to be in her room. She'd filled her hours with work and research - she had a plan, and before she approached the doctor for a green light she wanted to have all of her ducks in a row. Sasha would need access to various Life resources, and some of it might require permission. Best to cover all of her bases. She did not appreciate being distracted from her research, and so when the door was opened, a harsh look was leveled at the stranger that had knocked. "What?"

Melvin tensed when the girl opened the door and glared him down. She wasn't the first person to open her door this way, and Melvin was beginning to wonder where social etiquette went where you shouted at someone at your door or didn't even say hello.
"Are you Sasha Belrose? I have something for you."

"What is it?"
She narrowed her eyes at him, arms crossing lightly over her chest as she leaned against the door frame.

Well, she was chipper. Melvin beat boys were just throwing themselves at her door to get a piece of that.
Reaching into the metal tube, he offered her a rose. "From a Secret Admirer. I'm here to deliver this." He wasn't about to pretend to be friendly when she looked like she wanted him to disintegrate on the spot.

Sasha pursed her lips and eyed the rose. Jerry.
"Tell him no thank you, please. I'm sorry he wasted your time."
She gave him a taut smile before she stepped back into her room and started to close the door.

A leg shot out, the shoe stopping the door, and Melvin placed his hand there to keep it from closing. "Whatever 'he' you are thinking about, I'm pretty sure it's not him. Now I can't leave until you take this. I don't care if you hurl it across the room or set it on fire." He held out the rose. "Please just make this already horrible task a little easier on me and take this." He doubted the pity angle would work right now, but it was worth the attempt.

Sasha grunted softly when the door was caught by his foot, her incredulous gaze snapping up to meet his. Her first instinct was to smash her foot down atop his - but he seemed so desperate to pawn off the rose. A little too desperate, to Sasha, at least.
"Who sent you? And who are you?"
She made no move to take the rose, instead opening the door once more.

He looked back at her. "I'm a life trainee. I got stuck doing this errand that some shy freaks couldn't do themselves as some weird way to romance. Don't ask me why they didn't just do this on Valentine's day, but what do you expect? I don't know who this guy is that you don't like, but I'm pretty sure from the application that this was a girl." He hoped that would keep her from being man hating or whatever it was that had her panties in a bunch.
"It's just a flower. Does it look like it's tearing me apart?" He was still holding it and nothing was happening to him. "Now again, can you PLEASE just take this so I can go to the next person so they can maybe feel happy that someone likes them and I can get this day done and over with?"

"A woman sent this?" Well, that kind of changed things. It was probably Rin, then. Sighing loudly - as if she was doing him a favor - Sasha reached out for the flower and plucked it from his hand.
"What's you're name? I'm life, too."
She didn't really care - she just wanted his name on the off-chance that this was some kind of ******** prank - like the DD's, or the headbands.
Assholes.

Melvin straightened up, removing his foot and stepping back on the off chance she slammed the door in his face. "Melvin Wood. I'm new - which is why I get stuck doing stuff like this." He gestured to the rose before marking off her name from the clipboard. "Sorry, but they give me a hard enough time in the labs. I didn't need them jumping on me about not delivering these. They get touchy." He looked up from his clipboard, tucking it under one arm as the red pen went behind his ear.

Sasha leaned back far enough that she could toss the rose on the table nearby.
"They can be real winners sometimes. Who else was getting flowers?"
She had to admit, she was curious. It wasn't every day that a trainee was given such a task, honestly. Sasha eyed the red pen and tried to steal a glance at the clipboard.

Melvin held the clipboard to his chest. This was evidence, and by having to run this errand, he was as guilty as Lance was of whatever was going down. He didn't want them all talking together and finding out something was up. It wasn't every day you were asked to mix chemicals on some flowers and pass them out to a set list of people.
"Can't give that away. It's a secret after all. I'm sure if you gossip around, you'll find out who. Best to keep feelings and all that classified." He waved his hands in a random circle, not really caring about the feelings of fake people, but going along with his lie. Better yet, Lance's lie that he was just spitting out. Better than saying they were from him. "Though it might hurt your friends to know you were picked by someone and not them." Though she could rub it in their faces if she wanted to.

Sasha narrowed her eyes at Melvin, tapping her chin with a slender finger before hefting her shoulders in a slight shrug.
"Right, well. It was nice to meet you. Have fun with all... this." She waved a hand. Poor guy.
"I'm sure I'll see you around, Melvin."

"Yeah. This is a real hoot. Enjoy your rose." He said, turning and heading down the hallway. He was close to getting done, and he only hoped the next person wouldn't try throwing the door in his face.
