[hehe, this is gonna be fun, i get to ruin everyones day. ;D ]
Archer walked down the hall to 'attend to his business elsewhere' in the latrine and then go home. Cheerful people sickened him. Furtively glancing around to make sure no one would see him, he allowed himself a little smirk. 'It's the intimidation factor' he thought to himself with great satisfaction. It is preferable that people respect you rather than like you if given only one choice. He chose the former.
He flushed the stall and hurried out of the bathroom..nasty places. And a disgusting function. He left the bathroom when he remembered he had a last order for the day to give Sheska, so he returned to his office.
As he approached the door, he heard low voices and stopped to listen. He couldn't make anything out, so he cleared his throat and walked in the door. Everyone stopped talking. "Oh, one more thing Private. Every morning I expect to have a pot of Earl Grey Tea waiting on my desk at 07:00 sharp. The tea and pot are in the cupboard. Make sure the water comes to a rapid boil, but dont overboil for the love of God or it wont taste right. The steep it for exactly 3 minutes. three minutes. No more, no less. And I want two slices of lemon with the seeds removed on a separate saucer. That is all." Then he nods to the other officers and leaves.

Maes watched Archer leave and shivered some. He really couldn't stand that guy. He turned to Armstrong and smiled.
"I am doing just wonderful! My little princess had her birthday! Do you want to see pictures." He said excitedly. He skipped over to Armstrong pulling out the pictures from his coat. As he was showing them to Armstrong he kept talking at a fast pace about what was going on in the picture.

Archer arrived at his desk at 06:45. He usually arrived at least fifteen minutes earlier than expected so he could gather his thoughts and plan out his day before other people arrived and started making a lot of noise. It seemed as though someone were always talking, running up or down the hall, or laughing close by. He hardly saw where anything in central were a laughing matter. This was the military, not a comedy club.
He spotted something on the floor and picked it up. It was a picture of Hughes kid. That guy was forever tormenting people with pictures of his daughter. No one cares about other peoples's kids for pitys sake! I swear, common people should not be allowed to own cameras. Only the press and professional photographers should use them, he thought.
After glancing indifferently at the picture, he tossed it in the trash bin next to Sheskas desk. 'Five minutes till seven and she's not here yet? I explicity told her I require tea at exactly 07:00. At this rate, I'll never have my tea on time!'
He returned to his desk and sat, chin resting on folded hands.

((Oh my, where I have been on this post?! XD Cool and I see we have a new Archer, welcome ^^))
Sheska was running late, and running late like a madwoman. She was up all night practically working on the case files Archer had wanted for her to complete that she had automatically overslept.
"Oh no, it's almost close to 7:00AM and I won't be able to even make that darn special earl grey tea he asked for...This is going to cause me to have another intimidation lecture by him...I just know it!" Sheska droned out through her thoughts in worry.
Though as she was walking fastly and endlessly on her heels, faith with have it that she tripped over something that was planted within the floor, and it caused her to get thrown forward where she then crashes into the closed door of Frank Archer's office.
Sheska then rubs her forehead painfully."Ohh..." She groaned in pain, and also saw where the documents were now scattered about all over the floor. "This is just not a good day at all..." She mumured in hopelessness to herself.

((Hi there, Sheska! I just got here last week or weekend. Loooove being Archer so far))
((also, we have a new thread that's pinned called guidance. Martas great idea! When you log on you can read the posts and you will know which threads you need to appear in and a brief synopsis of the goings on. Be sure to check it out, it'll be self-explanatory when you read a few.))
Archer glares at the young girl sprawled unladylike on the floor, scrambling to pick up scattered papers. Impatient, he taps his finger on the desk.
"I can only assume those are the papers I told you to work on before you left yesterday? Why aren't they already on my desk? Had you finished them when I told you, they would be on my desk and I would be drinking tea!" "Now," he continued, "be sure they're in proper order and turn them in. I'll take my tea after you've finished...composing yourself."
"And by the way, please do have Hughes paged for me. I have a request I need to make."
I need to find a couple of eager young cadets to move my furniture into my new chateau before that dustly old furniture chokes my sinuses.

((Awesome, that is helpful I just looked at it now ^^. I wish it was here when I joined XD I was totally lost when I first came, didn't have a clue of where I belonged or anything, someone had to tell me :P But that helped out a lot ^_^. ))
((Also from what I see you play Archer really well lol XD))
Sheska gave out a tiresome "Yes Lt. Colonel Archer sir" to all the commands she had to do for him already at the very exact moment.
Nonetheless once she got all the papers up and in a somewhat organize fashion, she stood up from the floor achingly while going over to her desk to put the heavy documents in a manilla folder to turn in. She noticed though while she was doing it, that in the trash bin there was a picture it look like of Elicia playing with a stuff animal or something, which that already had given Sheska the clue that it belonged to Hughes.
"Oh no, it must have fell in the trashcan by mistake. I'm sure Lt. Colonel Hughes would want it back as well..." Sheska said a little wearily in her mind, since she knew how the man gets with the pictures. "I'll just return it to him when I page him... She stated, while digging her hand in the trashcan to pull it out, that was luckily not filled with anything either, since it got emptied every morning before the staff came in.

Archer sat, sipping his tea and going over his paperwork when a memo caught his eye. He picked it up and read it. It was from the Fuhrers' Secretarys desk. Apparently a storm had been brewing in Lior for some time now and the usual peacekeeping efforts were failing as the citizens grew restive and divided amongst themselves. He was to meet with the Fuhrer Bradley to discuss the situation tomorrow. He noticed with displeasure that the note had been CC: Colonel Mustang. The blood flowed to his face as he considered the situation with rage. Mustang! He decided that he was going to circumnavigate his way around Mustang and try to use some pull to get an official military action approved. What these people needed was a stronger military presence to keep them in line. And if that didn't work, well, he'd just have to make sure it didn't work. He smiled inwardly while formulating a plan in his mind, sure to catapult him to the military fame he deserved! Sheska was sitting at her desk, rummaging through the messy papers on her desk, flustered. ::sigh:: Just exactly why had the military recruited this flustery mouse of girl again? he thought. "Private," he addressed her, "I have a change of plans. I'll be needing you to put a hold on all current projects that aren't Eyes Only. Be sure those files are place in a box, alphabetical order and then by date within the alphabetical order, current date in front. Be sure the box is labeled classified and have it packed and ready to go. After that, I'll need you to go to the supply closet and get plastic sheets and cover all the furniture in this room. I can't have it dusty when I return. Be sure this is done by 07:00 tomorrow. When you go home tonight, pack as little as required to make a trip to Lior. Bring about two weeks worth of items to be on the safe side. Then I want you to get us tickets to Lior for a 10:00 departure tomorrow. In the meantime, take messages on all my calls." ((oh GOD Sheska. I'm sorry. Archer is such a bastard! ;D  )) |

(( XD No worries, Sheska I think is use to the on-going torture lol ^_^))
Sheska when hearing all what she had to do, became even more distraught, while giving out another "Yes Lt. Colonel Archer sir." Do the commands ever end from him?! Nontheless, she also was a bit puzzeled at why they were even going to Lior?...What clear reason did they have to go?...Something didn't seem right by that.
"And uh...tickets to Lior sir?" She questioned, while looking at him a bit puzzeled by it.

"Yes, you heard me Private. Do you have a problem with the orders? If so, I suggest you let me know now. I can't have you giving me problems in Lior. I simply need you to go with me to continue your work on these files, but I'll be needing them as you finish each one. Is that clear enough?" Such nerve! Questioning my orders like that! He places a call to the Fuhrer Secretary's desk. "Yes, I can be there at 13:00 hours. Thank you" he hung up. (actually, the main reason I included her in the trip is so that you'd have something to do here on the board.  |

(( ;D Aw well thanks for caring XD ^^. It's appreciated  lol You know its also funny, I had a feeling Archer was going to go balistic when seeing Sheska question him that (lol) )) Sheska then swiftly backs down while slightly bowing her head in apologies. "Yes sir, that is very clear. I'm sorry. I-I was wayy out of line for even questioning that to you." The girl apologized even more tensely. She had to remember to hold her tongue with this man, because she was under his jurisdiction. But still yet she wonder what could be happening in Lior, that Archer would have to make a trip for? Well Sheska knew it also wasn't very wise to go snooping through military memos, since the action would only get you in more trouble. So for now she thought... "Well I guess I'll find out soon enough when we get there..."Nonetheless she went to resume onto one of her commands, by picking up the phone, to page Hughes at his office. But before she did, she paused remembering that Archer did say he had change of plans, but to just be on the safe side.... "Uh sir, do you still you want me to make that call to Lt. Colonel Hughes office?" Sheska stated, but also hoped in the end it wouldn't make the man more pissed. |

((I know, Archer is such a chode! ;D You should join us in the out of character areas. Lots of funny shite going down there! ))
"No Private, that wont be necessary now. Just go about the business I gave you. I'm going to the Fuhrers office, so leave me call back notes if I get any calls."
With that, Archer got up from his desk and strode out the door, closing it quietly behind him and went to Bradleys office.

(( lol I had check the madness in there XD. I would join the FMA Matrix one, but I don't have really any knowledge on the movies. So I wouldn't be much of a good roleplayer on it  . You will probably have to guide me through it XD ;D . Also I was thinking about joining FMA Real World, but there is wayy too many posts, and I kind of don't know what's going on. However I may end up joining 'FMA Babies' ^^ I think that's the only one Sheska maybe able to fit in....I'm not too sure XD )) Once the 'intimidator' was gone out of the area, Sheska then plops her head onto her desk in deep frustration. There was so much she had to do, in so little time. This Archer guy was beginning be a real big pain, well actually not beginning but already had been since she had met him. "Oh soo much to do..." She said in a tiredly voice, while fidgeting with her glasses. She hoped that his departure to Bradley's office would be long, so she could get her mind in order. Afterall with him being in there, it really only brought more tension in the area. 'Ring!' The sudden sound of the phone going off then gets Sheska attention, she looks to it wearily, while picking it up. "Hello you reached Lt. Colonel Archer's Office, he's not in right now. May I take a message?" Sheska as the person was speaking then nods her head in response to their orders, and once she was finish chatting with them she then writes it down on a sticky notepad. "Okay, I'll make sure he gets it. Thank you." Sheska stated, while hanging up the phone, flatly. She already could tell that phone was going to be ringing off like crazy... (( PS: I have no clue of what the message really says lol XD, but you can make it as if it's something important or not when Archer comes back XD My creative mind is not working really well here now lol ^^ )) |

Archer strode purposefully back into his office, slamming the door behind him. Damnit! Looks like Mustang already had the jump on him! He hated how that guy was always one step ahead of him; like he had some weasels nose for sniffing out opportunities.
He glanced at the message Sheska had left on his desk and crumpled it up. Not important enough to merit his attention.
"Private, I'm going home to pack for Lior. Don't forget to finish up the things I asked you to do. That's all."
He grabbed a few portfolios and left the office for the day. Maybe a drink would calm him down.

Sheska when seeing Archer now stroll back in and quickly back out of the office with frustration, stared even more in puzzlement. The guy had issues, BIG time.
"Geez...I wonder what's got him even more irritated now?" Sheska stated to herself, while still looking to the doorway Archer walked abruptly out of.
Nevertheless she went back to her orders of doing the work she was given to do. She knew that when she get home, that she will probably have to pack as well and tell her mother about the sudden departure she was taking to Lior.
"Well this will be the first time I have ever been outside of Central..." The green-eyed girl exclaimed, while going through the files in a orderly manner.

After a night of fuming with hatred over Mustang getting the jump on him, Archer walked wearily into his office at 06:45. Hopefully Private Sheska would have tea on time.
Good. She'd covered everything up as asked and the box of files was sitting on next to his desk. He opened it and thumbed through them quickly to make sure all was in order; it was. Good work, he thought. Maybe she'll do ok after all.
He took a plastic cover off his easy chair and sat down, waiting for her to arrive so they could leave.

Sheska had promptly arrive at the office at 06:15, much earlier so she could have time to do all the orders she was given to do from the Lt. Colonel. As of now she was making her way back to the office, since she had stepped out to get herself some coffee. It always helped afterall to stay awake. Nevertheless there also was a little suitcase in her hand, where she had packed very lightly of clothes.
"He did say bring at least items for two weeks..." She stated to herself, which as she reached closer to the office she noticed that the Lt. Colonel was already in there, just as she kind of expected.
"Uh...Good morning Lt. Colonel Archer sir." She greeted out to him in a harmless way, while setting her suitcase down for a min by the desk. She hoped that she prepared that tea right for him. "How's the tea?"

"It's quite adequate, I must say," Frank answered regarding the tea. ((adequate? XD What a jerk!))"I see you also finished up all the jobs I gave you yesterday. I must admit, I am...pleased.. with how you organized the files. Everything is ship-shape. Oh! And I see you've packed and are ready to go. Did you get the tickets yet?" he asked.
Am I in danger of growing soft? he wondered silently. No. One simply had to give out praise from time to time as a matter of course-if it were merited-or else people would grow despondent and not perform well. It was far easier to attract more flies with honey than vinegar. Any moron knew that.

Sheska sort lifted up a light smile when seeing she did something somewhat right for once, but then idea of the train tickets came to her like a total melt down, since they weren't in her hands as of now.
"I remember getting the tickets earlier...but where did I put them is a good question?!" She said a little nervously through her mind.
Sheska went through her pockets...Nothing. She then went to the drawer of her desk, to shuffle through the papers to find them.
"Uh...yeah I did get the tickets sir. I just have to get them out of this drawer real quick." Sheska assured to him uneasily, while still all the while going through the drawer in a shuffle. "If I can even find them, that is..." She muttered out lowly, hoping that he wouldn't have heard that.
(( lol Yeah big time jerk ^^ And well I guess Sheska can't be on his good side for long either, since she lost the tickets...Uh oh XD ))

Oh for the love of God, Archer thought to himself. Of course, if she did everything else right, the most important thing would have to be the most important one.
"Well, it's 07:00 hours now. If you haven't found them by 08:00 hours, we will have to depart for the train station and pray they have tickets left."
He sighed and rubbed his temples. He was getting a headache.
((nice comeback with the lost tickets! XD))

(( lol Thanks ;D I could picture that whole scene, with Sheska losing the tickets and Archer looking very annoyed ^^. It also seem like something she would be capable of doing XD ))
Sheska as she was still rummaging through the drawers of the desk, had heard what Archer said. Yes prayer would be helpful right about now, helpful enough to make her find those tickets...
"I remember having them in my hand, but where was the last place I was at with them there...?" Sheska inquired in her mind.
[Flashback XD]
The scene showed Sheska in the mess hall of the HQ earlier where she was pouring herself some coffee. The tickets where in her hand, but then she placed them down on the counter,(thinking she would grab them up again), to add some creme in the cup.
"Oh geez it's almost 06:45 and the Lt. Colonel will be coming in the office by that time." Sheska droned out. "Well I better go, before I get another interrogation by him on even being late..."She stated, while rushing off quickly and all the while forgetting about those tickets there.
---
"Oh no!...I left them at the mess hall..." Sheska uttered out in hopelessness. And seeing that was earlier, she figured those tickets were probably moved all about in the cafeteria by now.
"I'm sorry sir..." She apologized out pathetically to him.
(( Ahh XD my post got a little lengthy, sorry about that didn't intend it to be (lol) ))
