Day 308 :: Voice

[kuramaless]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

Re: Day 308 :: Voice

[artifacetious]

Ramen sounds great.

Seems like we've got some wires crossed in the com network, though, maybe you should just ring the doorbell.

[kuramaless]

Yeaaaah, I know, I know.

If you wanna come for ramen, you should just come. There's a bunch of people now.

[Almost everyone he messaged ended up getting invited one way or another.]

[artifacetious]

...okay. Where?

[audio]

[bulletwithmyname]

Hey there. It's Claudia, right? I'm Ash, we talked a few days ago.

I'm betting this has occurred to you already, but remember when you were asking about things we need around here? Seems like we need some way of communicating without these bracel--

[there's a bit more to the message, but it's lost in static]

Re: [audio]

[artifacetious]

I've been fiddling -- If you even get this message, I'm at the forge most days 'til sundown.

[action]

[bulletwithmyname]

[the reply ash tries to send to her is a garbled mess, but he shows up earlyish the next day.]

Good morning. Hope I'm not interrupting anything tricky.

[dragonspeak]

I think we really need to talk about your texting habits. This is getting sort of ridiculous.

Re: [text] day 308 - meant for arthur

[artifacetious]

Excuse you, my texting habits have always been ridiculous. But I've never actually texted you. Wrong number?

[text]

[dragonspeak]

Looks like it. Unless your name's Arthur after all.

[Video Message]

[dragonspeak]

Hey Claudia. [There's a grin on his face that some of his friends would recognise and feel wary of.]

I promised you I'd help you meet new people, didn't I?

Re: [Video Message]

[artifacetious]

[ Lucky her! Or unlucky? When she calls back it's clear why she didn't answer the first time -- she looks pretty disheveled, smudged with dirt and soot, safety goggles pushed up on top of her head. She's neck-deep in rebuilding efforts. ]

Hey, Merlin. You did! Should I run for the hills?

[Video]

[dragonspeak]

I hope not. [He's a bit puzzled.]

I don't think there are any hills around here--at least in the city.

[unbrokenwheel]

Okay so, I know you're probably still up. If you're not, I am so sorry about waking you up.

Anyway, it turns out working metals is a bad thing when reflections are trying to nab people. I'm back. [His head hurts like hell from how close he came to his fire turned against him but he's alive. Leo rubs at his face and adds.]

It feels really weird to be limited again.

Re: [NIGHT 362 - Video]

[artifacetious]

[ Of course she's awake. She looks pretty wired, actually, even though she doesn't have her hair or makeup done because those things sort of require mirrors. The background of her video is her room, not the forge, which probably means she figured out that being around shiny things was a bad idea. ]

I'm up. Limited? What? Leo, where are you?

[NIGHT 362 - Video]

[unbrokenwheel]

[When he'd went into the mirror he'd been mostly keeping what he is a secret. Now it just doesn't seem to matter. He is what he is. Leo leans back and shakes his head.]

I'm on the street just outside Freyr's welcome home. The rest can be summed up in one word, demigod. Hephaestus is my dad. Mom was a mechanic that caught his eye.

[asgardsbeauty]

[In honor of the Earth holiday centering on love, Freya sends out a little gift around this time.

A small box containing a piece of chocolate will appear on your pillow during the day. When consumed, the chocolate’s magic will lift your mood for a short period of time. It’s accompanied by a note.]

Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy.

backdated to Day 400

[asgardstricks]

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.

His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.

It's also accompanied by a note. ]

Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.

[shinybaldhead]

[ He'd taken to skimming through the contacts list occasionally, just looking for names he recognized. Never bad to keep an eye out on that, right? It was with a little pang of guilt that he realized he hadn't reached out to Claudia in a hell of a long time. ]

Hey, train girl. How're you doing?

[artifacetious]

[ Claudia answers sounding in higher spirits, though there's a strange roaring in the background of her reply. The break in combat and being spared from the last traumatic event has done her good -- if they switch to video he'll see that she's done her hair again and the smile in her voice matches the one on her face. ]

Hey, double n. I've still got all my appendages and memories, how 'bout you?

[shinybaldhead]

[ He'll probably switch to video when he's sure that bounce in her tone is authentic. Gunn just laughs a little, relieved regardless. ]

I'm in alright condition. Living, right? That matters.

audio.

[allbloodyhail]

Hey, you. You're still here, right?

Re: audio.

[artifacetious]

If I wasn't here then you wouldn't be leaving a voicemail, Spike. Is this another drunk dial?

[ Babysitting a drunk not!vampire wasn't on her evening's to-do list, but if absolutely necessary she can pencil it in. ]

audio.

[allbloodyhail]

N-no, just... Just a regular dial, promise.

[audio]

[shinybaldhead]

Hey. You busy?
