Sarah is waiting at the table to greet Dave, Rob and Greg, earlier than any of the others today.  She hands out chocolate or raspberry croissants to everyone interested. 
"Afternoon gentlemen.  How was everyone's morning?" she asks politely.

"She wants something."  Greg says taking the offered treat.

Sammy appears about 10 minutes into the lunch period.  She's swathed in a thick bathrobe but glimpses of something red can be seen beneath it.  She has a piece of paper in her hands and she looks as if something is bothering her.  After looking around for a moment and not immediately seeing what she's looking for, she comes to the table and hands the paper to Dave.  "Can you give this to Elrod for me?" she asks.  "It's the charity families list."  She absentmindedly picks up a random croissant and takes a bite out of it.

"Not a problem."  Dave says, "He told me to tell you he'll try to find you after last bell today.  He's having lunch with a guy from some college back East today."

A smile gets pasted on Sammy's face, but it doesn't reach her eyes.  "Yeah.  He said his dad was pushing him to talk to some schools.  I didn't know it was starting today.  I hope he finds someplace he likes."  She takes another big bite of croissant and sighs.  "OK.  Since he's not around... honest opinion time."  She opens up the bathrobe to reveal her stage costume underneath.  "A couple minor adjustments but this is it.  Is it okay?  I liked it, but then that bit... the new cheerleader Torrance looked over from where they were doing the dance thing and she smirked, like I had toilet paper stuck to my shoe or like my skirt was tucked into my pantyhose.  I had to leave to get a grip on myself."  Whoever is at the table gets a look at the costume.  "Does it look stupid?"

(OOC:  It doesn't.  It's very close to whatever Colin envisioned and sketched out, and he has good skills.)

Rob blinks, then blinks again.  "Ah, I refuse to answer on the grounds that I'll say something completely inappropriate."

Dave shakes his head.  He looks at Sammy and the costume for a minute.  "You don't look like a hooker."  He then goes back to reading his book.

Greg looks at the costume for a minute, "It's both flattering and gives a holiday happy impression.  I think it's great."

"Dude, you sound so gay."

Greg gives Rob the WTF? look.

"I gotta side with Rob on this one sir.  That made you sound totally gay."

"Would, I'd fuck you, have been a more appropriate answer?"  Greg asks with a tone of disgust.

"That's where I would have gone, if I wasn't such a gentleman."

Dave shakes his head again.  "My mom thinks you're my classy friends too."

Sammy pulls the robe back around herself and ties the belt tightly.  "Thanks.  I think."

She sticks her tongue out at Greg.  "Just because I am polite and bearing pastries doesn't mean I want something."  After a moments consideration she adds,  "I always want something so just smile and say thank you when I toss you a croissant you ungrateful stupid-head."

She smiles at Dave and asks, "Would it be in your magical powers to procure a student's schedule for me or Dave of Wonders?"

A few minutes later when Sammy arrives:
"You look great.  Amazing.  Hot.  We'll be running security for you and beating the screaming love sick fans off with sticks," says Sarah in only a half joke.  She smiles and nods, "Your really pretty in it too."

"Sure."  He hands her a post-it note.  "Write down the name and I'll have it for you before the end of lunch."

"OK.  You I can believe."  She sighs.  "I should go back soon.  Can't let the evil Queen win.  Do I look like I don't care about her yet?"  She heads back to  the area set aside for rehearsals.  Just before she re-enters, she takes off the robe and strides in like she owns the place.  She gives herself a touch of power assisted special effects, encouraging a light breeze to flutter her hair and gown.

Sarah writes down the name Mike Brooks and after a moment adds Tim McFarlane.  She slides the note back to Dave with a smile.

A key piece of information bubbles upwards into her brain as she hands Dave the paper.  "Dave... did you mention this person was into martial arts films AND the martial arts... like a black belt?"

"Yep.  Black belt in something or other.  I could find out if you need me to."

Sarah shakes his head and says, "I don't think that will matter but thanks.  I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page as far as what he might be capable of."  

She sends email to Colin and Sammy

I am. Sorry for the lunch, I'm busy with Gretchen at some graphical problem with the paper. I miss you. Whatever you'd like to do is fine to me. As long as we find some time for each other later in the week too.
