Somewhere in GFFA- Monday Fandom time

[solo_sword]

While last week's Portalocity email had maybe made Jaina a little paranoid, she'd talked to enough people since then to be reassured that at least she could talk to people. And then came today's email, with words like "have become almost impossible to contact" and there went all that reassurance. Nice going, Portalocity.

Luckily she was playing bodyguard for a diplomat right now, which wasn't exactly high-maintenance work most of the time, so she had more time to hang out by herself and make calls to people to make sure she could still get in touch with them.

That whole pushing people away thing was obviously going great.


[If you think you got a call, you did. Pick up!]

"Partially," Eric admitted. "Pam dared me to go to a costume party dressed as Olivia Newton John."

[solo_sword]

There was quite a bit of giggling on this end of the line now. "Oh, Pam is my new favorite person."

[texted3times]

"Fortunately, this was a time before digital cameras," Eric replied.

[solo_sword]

That only made her ask, "Do you still have it?"

[texted3times]

"The spandex suit from thirty years ago? Don't be ridiculous."

Beat.

"I bought a newer one."

[solo_sword]

"Why?" Maybe the obvious question there...

[texted3times]

"In case I need one for orgies or meeting the President."

Eric, please stop.

[solo_sword]

She totally thought he was kidding about the orgy thing, too.

"If you're rewearing anything inspired by an 80's costume party to either one of those eventa, I'm thinking it's a bad fashion choice."

[texted3times]

"Probably," Eric admitted.

[solo_sword]

"I want proof of this, by the way," she told him.

[texted3times]

"Instead of dirt?" Eric checked.

Poor, poor Joan.

[solo_sword]

"No. I like the dirt," Jaina said. "Your phone takes pictures, right?"

[texted3times]

His phone did everything short of launching rockets into space, and that was only because Eric didn't have a rocket to launch.

"It does."

[solo_sword]

"Then photographic evidence is all I need," she decided.

[texted3times]

"Once I get home from work," Eric promised. "I didn't exactly bring it with me."

[solo_sword]

"You have no idea how glad I am to hear that in this conversation," she said.

[texted3times]

"You mean I didn't strike you as a spandexed vigilante out fighting crime?" Eric replied.

[solo_sword]

"Amazingly not, but that might be because you haven't mentioned a mask," Jaina replied.

[texted3times]

"I wear my wig instead," Eric lied.

[solo_sword]

"You know you're only making me curious as to what you do for Halloween," she told him.

[texted3times]

"This year, there was a cape and fangs," Eric said. "People tend to have expectations."

[solo_sword]

"Did you sparkle?" she teased.

[texted3times]

Eric snorted. "I'm not Lafayette."

[solo_sword]

"That makes no sense to me, but I can confirm that no, you're not," she said slowly.

[texted3times]

"Fry cook in Bon Temps," Eric said helpfully. Who also sold V for Eric, so that's why he remembered. "He's very, very gay."
