Salutations, Darling storyline

==PAINT!==
(Originally uploaded 21:50 and 22:00, August 24, 2015‎)
Chuck's getting a briefing from the /Vulcan Chief on the new update when Jackson, high, high up near /Vulcan's sternum, hollers, ""Paint!""
A moment later, a small can crashes to the floor. 
A moment after that, paint rains down on a giant foot, the floor, the Chief, and Chuck. 
"Sorry!" Jackson yells. 
"You alright, Cadet?" 
"I washed my hair yesterday." 
"Oh."
"If you excuse me." 
"Of course, Cadet. Would you like me to clean your tablet?" 
"That would be great," says Chuck, trying to resist the urge to strangle /someone. "Thank you."
===Hair===
Two hours and a fully-clothed shower later, Chuck's hair--all 3 1/2, thick, black, wiry feet--is loose and air drying.
And someone knocks at door.
Chuck can rebraid her hair in two minutes.
A minute forty five too long if someone's waiting.
She opens the door.
"Your, uh, ho-holy--your /hair."
Chuck grabs her tablet, slams the door in Jackson's face.
A beat.
""It's stupid!""
===Smother===
How many times did Jackson whack his head against a wall for that one?
I think he skipped whacking his head and went straight for smothering. 
(Logan tried to help, Andrea tried to hinder XD )
And Jamie stood in the background trying to decide which of them to help.

"I love Wash having two stalkers simultaneously and not giving a flip about either of them, if she even really notices. And if she does notice, she seems to only notice the platonic stalker. Jackson seems to register about as well as a housefly."
They're in the rec room when--
Jackson's heart flipflops.
--Chuck looks at him like she's just noticed he's there and... 
She's frowning.
"You okay?" asks Jackson. 
"Is this ... /thing a coincidence or are you actually hanging around all the time?" 
"Coincidence, probably." Jackson shrugs. "'s small Shatterdome, we're in the same department, it happens." >change this line to a bastardized version of Spike (BtVS)'s 'feelings develop' line<
"Sure." She goes back to her tablet. 
"I gotta, uh, do... a thing." 
"Cool." 
"So, um, bye." 
.
"A word of advice," offers Andrea, poking her head around the door. "Put a piece of foam between yer head and th' wall and ye won't kill so many brain cells." 
"Kinda the point, Hill." 
"Your brain's got a contract. Brain freeze, though--I'll get you some ice cream." 
.
==Places==
Wash, laundry bag over one shoulder, slips from her room and nearly runs into- "The hell're you doing here?" 
["R-reasons,"] Jackson splutters. "I'm not stalkin' you."
"Right." 
Jackson puffs up. "For your information, your room happens to be directly between... parts and... other parts. Of the Shatterdome. Besides," he shrugs, "who'd wanna stalk you?"
"Exactly." She heads off.

==Captain Jack==
""Permission to enter, Captain?"" Andrea asks softly. 
"Granted," Jackson sighs. 
[Andrea tucks up against one side, Logan lies down on his other, eventually Jack says, "you guys are the best" (or a similar Torchwood line), kisses Andrea's hair, ruffles Logan, then they all think of 'Captain Jack Harkness' and all three occupy opposite corners of Jackson's bed]
