Pippa rushed around in her room, thankful to have something to do today. It was true, she definitely planned to steal her dad's car without asking, because she know it'd be ten solid minutes of no...yes...no...yes...no... before finally he just sighed and tossed the keys at her, telling her to PLEASE be careful on the roads. She was being efficient. Pippa threw off her trackies and put together a random outfit in five minutes that... actually turned out to be quite fun. She tossed some flying bug spray, and some crawling bug baits into her faded yellow backpack and threw it over her shoulders. In her ears her budget convenance store earbuds BLASTED her very own movie soundtrack. First on the randomly shuffled playlist of over 500 songs, came an absolute BANGER. To the exquisite vocalizations and exceptional guitar riffs of the masterpiece one hit wonder 'The Final Countdown'. Her father was in his study, Holly was in the living room. She air guitared over to the awfully sculpted poo-brown bowl that one of her fathers less cool, American children brought home from school one day that housed keys, coins and other junk pulled out of pockets. She she put a finger up to her lips and made a 'Shhhh' gesture towards Hols, who rolled her brown eyes at her and coppied the gesture.

Pippa grabbed the correct keys to her fathers vintage pale blue Chevy, and headed down the stairs of the apartment building two at a time. She never took the lift if she wasn't in a massive hurry. As her feet hit the first landing, Mr Kenny Loggin's began his epic assent into the first verse and chorus of 'Danger Zone.' Her pace quickened immediately as she nearly took out a pretty little thing and her much older male companion as they headed up to the next floor. Reaching the lobby, she took the last flight down into basement one. Her dad's car blinked it's LED's at her as she punched the button on the key fob.

She started up the car, her phone immidatly switching to the new state-of-the-art surround sound speaker system that had been installed last month. The speaker blasted to life as she turned the key, filling the car with the absolute ESSENCIAL, Cindi Lauper's own "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Now that she was enclosed, she belted it out. Pippa skidded the tyre's a little as she excited the underground lot. Oh hang on "Hey SIRI!" She yelled over the music, it interrupted the song for a computerized female voice. The one with the Australian accent, of course. She asked Siri nicely to take her to the Address Nico had specified. The song kicked back to life, but she wasn't in the mood for it now "Siri, skip!" and now for something completely different.

"FUCK yeah!" She yelled as Gwen Stefani had her clicking her fingers to 'Hollaback girrrrrrl'.

The drive was actually way to short, Niko lived closer than she realized. Who was this dude? Someone she'd teased over twitter and was now enlisted as his personal pest control agent. Fuck it right? What else was she gonna do today? Watch reruns of Judge Judy in her stuffy little apartment? Nahhhh!

She pulled into the nearest available parking and opened her door. She jauntily headed over to his front door, on the first floor as he'd said. Hm, that is kind of a dodgy door gap. She thought to herself. She knocked a little jingle on his door and waited patiently. When he opened up she'd be there with a big silly grin and a can of bug spray held with a pistol grip by her face "'Ello buddy! Someone call for the pestie?"

NIKO
outfit

Niko had barely made it through the door of his one bedroom apartment when something buzzing flew directly in his face, calling forth an unholy, inhuman screech. He nearly had half the mind to walk straight back out of his apartment, but he was tired and wanted to kick the heels off his feet. He was hungry as well and wanted to make some simple food to sate his raging appetite (a missed midday meal nearly caused him to want to shoot a coworker directly between the eyes). Thank god for his enduring patience.

The buzzing, of what could only be a creature with hair-thin wings and evil in its tiny heart, drifted off in Niko's flailing. White locks now in disarray and heart beating overtime, Niko scanned the small entryway, looking for the culprit. Shucking the leather coat from narrow shoulders, and finally toeing heeled boots from tired feet, Niko carefully made his way through his apartment. It was in the kitchen that the ungodly buzzing began again, threatening to send the assistant into another frenzy of flailed limbs and screams of terror.

The bug landed on the wall, close enough to be seen, but far enough away that Niko could slowly pull out his phone. He opened the first group chat he could find and inquired of the demonic entity. Then decided such things didn't matter, he only needed someone to get rid of it.

Pippa Jones has started a conversation.

Bored on twitter? No.

I'm no time, Niko was sending an address pin to a random girl he maybe knew. And soon after that, his doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of his savior. The whole time was spent shiftily watching the movements of the rotten pest.

Niko, beyond distressed, looked through the peephole. One can never be too careful. Spying a woman looking like her profile photo, Niko swung open his front door.

"Ello buddy! Someone call for the pestie?"

Niko stared at her, and her spray held like a weapon. Would he ever learn English?

"The bug is on the wall. What do you like on your panini?" He questioned in lieu of answering whatever she just said. He ushered her inside, locking the door behind her. Safety and all that.

Pulling out the portable George Foreman grill, Niko plugged in the appliance before looking expectantly at Pippa.

The door opened and Pippa took in the person standing there in the doorframe. He stared at her blankly, obviously not really understanding what she'd just said. "Hey! Nice outfit! You're like Mary Poppins, and I'm like Bert" She chuckled at her own observation as her mind conjured up images of the colourful scene. She strode through the door like she lived there once the other youth had gotten out of the way and ushered her inside. Dude really did look distressed. "On the wall huh..." Her eyes darted in the direction pointed out to her and spied a harmless little house cockroach. No big deal. He'd have died if he'd seen the state that she'd grew up in. His home, well most homes, even the messy ones, looked pristine compared to her little family townhouse. "Oh just a roach!" She said with a shrug. "You must have freaked the poor thing out, usually they're hiding under something." She heard them ask her what he wanted on her Panini and she remembered how hungry she was "Ooo, I dunno. I'm not fussy. I'll have what you're having. Surprise me."

Her attention shifted back to the bug. Ok, how do I catch this sucker. She figured it'd move again if she got too close. While she was talking to Nico online, she'd googled 'How to catch a cockroach'. Most of the advice was to spray it and trap it but she had found the funniest video EVER and just HAD to try it. Rummaging in her pocket she pulled out a wad of tissues. She sidled over to the kitchen sink and wet the wad, she imagined she was getting some weird ass looks from Nico, but she was lasered in to the task at hand and wouldn't even know. Tissue's dripping she traversed the room again. God I hope this actually works. She didn't dare use the spray, it would just make it fly. ok... one... two... THREE She SLAMMED the wad at the wall like a major leagues basketball player. The wet wad of tissues instantly mummified the little critter, tissue's stuck to the wall like a spitball. "HAH HAHAH" She laughed "Oh shit! I didn't think that would actually work!" She scooped up the wad from the wall, bug inside her hand encased in it's paper prison.

"I'll go place this sucker in the wheelie bin" She said, actually meaning the line of bins for the units that were probably out the front. She popped the lock, headed outside. After a moment she'd found the outside bins, popped the wad in and was back inside, locking the door again after her. She scratched her head as she looked at the wet patch on the wall where the intruding bug had been "Uh, let me dry that" She grabbed a few more tissues, dry this time, and dabbed at the moisture. Next she headed to the sink and washed her hands before finally she sauntering over to the grill. "That smell's amazing!" She said, and right on cue her stomach gurgled crankily "I totally forgot to eat today, this was worth the trip"
