The Coup by NobleLandMermaid
Author's Notes:
today we find out: why Call of Duty is not allowed in Jim's apartment

October 3, 2006 9:34am

kfilippelli: get any COD practice in last night?

jimhalpert: um no

jimhalpert: my apartment is remaining neutral in the war, so no fighting allowed

kfilippelli: aw, too bad, you probably needed it

jimhalpert: why, we're not playing again today, are we?

kfilippelli: no, but I predict we will by the end of the week

jimhalpert: that's super

kfilippelli: you really never played call of duty?

jimhalpert: My ex-roommate had it on his Xbox, but I never played it

jimhalpert: and Scranton is pretty consistently DM's worst or 2nd worst branch, so introducing video games there would probably not be a good idea

kfilippelli: eh, they might as well, since it's going to be closed down by the end of the year anyway

jimhalpert: where did you heard that?

kfilippelli: that's just the word that's been going around since Wallace became CFO

kfilippelli: part of his restructuring plan

kfilippelli: plus when Jan came in I heard her complaining about the manager making everyone watch a movie?

jimhalpert: yeah, sounds about right for Michael

kfilippelli: and I guess one of the employees talked to her about taking over the branch

kfilippelli: Dwayne or something

jimhalpert: Dwight

kfilippelli: yeah, Dwight

kfilippelli: does that sound like something he would do?

jimhalpert: um, yes and no

jimhalpert: he's fiercely loyal to Michael, but he's also a megalomaniac

kfilippelli: that sounds like an oxymoron

jimhalpert: Dwight's oxymoronic alright

jimhalpert: so Jan wasn't mad to see us playing video games?

kfilippelli: I guess with our numbers she's willing to forgive that

kfilippelli: plus Josh is in real good with Wallace, they go golfing sometimes

jimhalpert: huh

jimhalpert: oh no

jimhalpert: I thought you said we weren't gonna play today

kfilippelli: guess I was wrong

jimhalpert: any quick tips before we start?

kfilippelli: just start saying your prayers Halpert

jimhalpert: great, thanks

kfilippelli: :-)

 

End Notes:
Sorry for the relatively JAM-less chapter for a relatively JAM-less episode. But I always thought there was a gap in how Jan freaks out over Movie Monday, whilst Stamford's playing online video games. Plus I'm kind of trying to establish how Jim and Karen never quick click, I don't know if that came across at all.
