-- aste's corset, how do you know when this contraption is working?

Er, hello. This is Anders. Do ... whatever you do when you're talking to one of these things, and I'll respond when I can.

Crazy Phone Day

[seeks_truth]

After the message, Cassandra had been quiet for a short while. Then she had facepalmed. Then she had quieted again.

At last, she called back, and spoke, in her dryest voice, "I have no doubt that you would. Your flirting is getting especially blatant."

Then she hung up and flailed internally for about five minutes about sending that.

"... Well, fantastic, then. I'm not completely certain why this warranted a phone call all on its own. There are probably more delicate ways of bringing that topic up. But I suppose delicate is for other people, isn't it? Fine. We're just a happy pair of people who aren't interested in sex, then."

Wires Crossed Wednesday

"Well, egotistically, you could do a lot worse than me when it comes to bumping uglies. But you're right, I don't wanna sleep with you. It'd be like doing my sister. And I don't have a sister."

Kathy had...kinda had enough with people insinuating things about her today. "Fine. You're a prude and I'm a giant slut. Come over here and I'll show you the best way to stand naked in doorways, I do it all the time."

"What part of 'I'm not talking to you right now' do you not get? I think you're still delirious and should go back to the clinic, and put your phone away. And not go out pretending to be a hero."

Look, when Minako got mad, Minako got mad.

Crazy Phone Day

[cuzfriendship]

"Okay, so it goes like this. I solemnly swear to do my best every day. And in all that I do, to be brave and strong, to be truthful and compassionate, to be interesting and interested, to respect nature, to pay attention and question the world around me, to think of others first, to always help and protect my friends, then there's a line about god or whatever, and to make the world a better place for Lumberjane scouts and for everyone else. Come on, how did you forget already?"

Okay, that had been weird. So Dante decided to call Isabela, because there was only one pirate he knew.

"Hey, was there something with Sparkle and a bunch of knives at your place? Because I don't think he's into that." Beat. "You. So, weird."

Kathy had no idea how Anders had managed to find a rainbow rose, but that he had made her so happy she'd decided to go all out for her last Valentines Day on the island. The next time he came back to his room, he'd find a gift basket on his bed with a note that read, Happy Valentines Day to the best friend a girl could ask for. Love you, Kathy

Inside were mini strawberry tarts, cat toys for Lachlan, a bottle of sweet champagne and two wine glasses (and a bottle of sparkling apple cider awkwardly wedged in because Kathy had realized at the last minute that she had no idea if Nathan drank), and a leather-bound journal.

[spin-kick-mage.livejournal.com]

It was stupid o'clock in the morning in LA when Anders' phone rang; the little girl on the other end didn't understand things like 'timezones'. Of course, it wouldn't have mattered if she did. Carys had finally realized that neither of her parents were on the island and that was a problem because she was.

"Daddy! Daaaaadddyyyy. DaddyDaddyDaddy!" she chanted into the phone while it rang.

[not_every_mage]

It had been a long but (ultimately) good night for Anders and Kathy, and t felt like they'd barely fallen asleep before Anders' phone started ringing. He rolled over and answered it one-handed.

"What?" he said, sleepy. "Who's this?"

When he was more awake he'd remember the day-after-prom principle.

[spin-kick-mage.livejournal.com]

"Daddyyyyy!" Carys was excited to be using the phone and her excitement carried through at a very high pitch. And volume. "Daddy, where are you? I'm here and you're not here! Mommy says I'm not s'posed to be wandering by myself yet because I'm too little! Where is Mommy, is she there with you?"

Kathy, for her part, was curled up in bed next to him, tugging a pillow over her head. She couldn't hear individual words coming from Anders' phone, just a stream of noise. "Tell whoever it is to go away and come back to sleep," she mumbled, tugging on his arm.

[not_every_mage]

"Dear Maker," Anders murmured, pinching the bridge of his nose. He gave Kathy a rueful glance and poked her with his foot so she'd know to pay attention.

Their possible future daughter was adorable, but was showing up at the worst possible time.

"Mommy and I are in Los Angeles, Carys," he said, as evenly as he could manage. "Where are you? Are you in Fandom?"

[spin-kick-mage.livejournal.com]

"Where's Lost Angeles?" Carys asked. "Is it far away? Can I come there? I've never been to Lost Angeles before! And I'm with Uncle Dante! I went to your room to find you but you weren't there and I was sad but then Uncle Dante said I could have a strawberry sundae for breakfast!"

Well, he'd said she could have all the strawberry shit she wanted, but that included a sundae, right?

Kathy grumpily poked Anders back, still hiding under her pillow--at least until he said Carys, which had her throwing the pillow off to stare at him in surprise. Somehow the possibility of tiny potential children showing up to mess up all their plans had completely slipped from mind.

"He's grumpy in the mornings," Carys confided.

[not_every_mage]

"Oh, you're with Dante," Anders said, stressing the name and raising his eyebrows at Kathy. There was no way he was a good influence, was there? "He does get a little grumpy, doesn't he? And Los Angeles is a little too far for you to come, but we'll be there just as soon as we can."

He said that 'we' without thinking.

"Are there other kids for you to play with while you're waiting?"

[spin-kick-mage.livejournal.com]

Kathy bolted upright in bed. Dante was not a suitable babysitter for their tiny, impressionable daughter, Anders! Especially considering he wasn't even talking to her right now.

"I dunno, some," Carys said. "Daddy, can I have a little brother or a sister? Then I'd always have someone to play with. My brothers from last year aren't here, but if I had one of my very own, then I wouldn't have to wait!"

...It made sense. To a five year old.

[not_every_mage]

Anders choked on air.

"That'll be a really good question for your parents at home," he said. "Remember, we're a little younger than they are. They'd know better."

He finally remembered his phone had a speaker button, and hit it so Kathy could hear their daughter too.

[spin-kick-mage.livejournal.com]

"What's a really good question?" Kathy asked, pulling the sheets up higher over her shoulders. No, Carys couldn't see them, but it still felt weird, talking to their five year old while naked.

"Hi, Mommy!" Carys said, bouncing in her excitement. "Mommy, Mommy, hi! I was just asking Daddy if I could have a little brother or a sister! He said to ask at-home Mommy and Daddy cause they're older, but if I ask you, then you have more time, right?"

Now Kathy was also wheezing. And part of her wanted to check the condoms, just in case. "Uhhh, I don't think it works like that, sweetheart," she said.

"Why?"
