Room 313, Wednesday night

[solo_sword]

At least with a little break over the last couple days Fandom time, having to come back here didn't incur dread or disappointment. This was an improvement. Though it was a little weird for her to not be in 527 because John wasn't there. Apparently you didn't always realize you had a routine until it got disrupted.

So Jaina busied herself in her own room, unpacking for all the three minutes that took (one and a half of it was spent internally gleeing at her uniform again)... and then got out her datapad to find out exactly what sort of work she needed to be doing. Yes, she had a problem.


[Oooooooopen, doorly and postily, if you wish.]

John wasn't in his room because he was busy getting drunk for no good reason. Didn't stop him from calling considering he didn't expect her back until the next morning. He counted the rings, waiting for the message so he could start talking.

[solo_sword]

Too bad she picked up her comlink. Woe for lack of csller ID. "Solo."

And there was John, assuming he'd gotten voicemail because he'd stopped paying attention. "Hey! It's me. And if you don't know who me is you're not using your magic right!" He just rambled on without pausing for breath, "Or you hit your head and forgot who I am, which is possible with the whole war thing in a far away galaxy..."

[solo_sword]

Jaina put her datapad down beside her on the mattress. "Hello to you too."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John paused in confusion, "Usually when I call you don't talk back."

[solo_sword]

"That might be because you're talking to me now?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Unexpected, but good! Now you can talk to me while I walk home! How are things in your galaxy?"

[solo_sword]

"Busy," Jaina answered. "Where are you walking home from?" She could make a guess.

"Caritas," John said, pausing to watch his breath in the chill night air. "Lois is a beer wench. Wait, no, bar wench."

[solo_sword]

Jaina feigned a gasp. "You're going drinking with Lois? You hussy."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You can't call a guy a hussy," John argued, denying nothing. "It doesn't work that way."

[solo_sword]

"Yes, I can. I just did. And I can do it again."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No you can't." This was a strong argument after lots of beer.

[solo_sword]

"Hussy."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" John pouted. "If you were here, I'd be ignoring you right now."

[solo_sword]

"Like you've ever managed to do that," she said.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I could start now," John said, and promptly shut his mouth.

[solo_sword]

"You can't ignore me, I'm a goddess and you're drunk."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Maybe I am, but you forget you're a fake goddessy person," John responded, no longer ignoring, apparently.

[solo_sword]

"Shh, that's a secret," she pointed out, just to mess with him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm in Fandom," John whispered, "no one cares here!"

[solo_sword]

She leaned against her pillow, bending her knees and making herself comfortable. "They might. You don't know."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That mean I'm bowing and scraping and being the porter again when you get back?"

[solo_sword]

"Well, I'm already back," Jaina said, "but maybe you can start doing the menial labor when you're better coordinated."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'm coordinated, see? Walking?" Well, he was on a phone, so she couldn't but that was besides the point. "Wait, you're back? Why are we on the phone then?"
