Rude's Apartment, Edge, Thursday Evening

Rude's couch was lumpy and hard to sleep on.

Rude's couch was lumpy and hard to sleep on, Rude's booze was running low, and the lighting in Rude's living room sucked.

All that, and Reno had more reading material than he could have ever hoped for. And a bean sprout in a plastic cup sitting in some wet paper towel. And a pair of cacti that he hadn't managed to kill yet. And an anxious ferret, attempting to help him either with the booze, or with the reading, whichever Mako happened to be able to reach more easily at the time.

As such things went, after a week and a half back in Edge with no outlet to the real world, it was time for Reno to take a break. He'd written a letter earlier in the week in reply to one that he'd gotten last week Thursday, which was all well and good... but dammit, he needed to hear a voice that didn't belong to a Turk, a member of the WRO, or some random person living on the street corners in Edge.

Spare Gil for the homeless, they'd beg, and he'd toss them a few, just because he had a few to spare. But not without a mumble and a frown.

Yeah. You an' everyone else, yo.

He needed to make some freaking phone calls, or he was going to go out of his mind, damn it.

[NFB for distance, open to anyone who thinks that Reno would have a reason to call them! Or, heck, open to anyone. He's bored, he'll probably just hit buttons until he hears familiar voices, at this point.]

Murdock was munching on cookies and watching TV when his phone rang.

"House of the mad, what's your poison?"

[identity profile] crazypilotman.livejournal.com 2009-05-13 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yo Reno!" he grinned. "I'm good. I got a new housemate too. She makes awesome cookies!"

"How's things out there?"

Her phone was ringing. Her phone was ringing with that song, and Dōjima almost dove out of her alcove for her purse.

Times like this were why Dōjima loved giving everyone individual rings; it let her say the most outrageous things without needing to check the caller ID.

"Moshi moshi!" she called cheerfully. "So. Rude hasn't killed you yet? Or did he just buy earplugs?"

No, he couldn't talk first. That would spoil her fun.

"We all know Mako hogs the bed," Dōjima replied cheerfully. "I'm pretty good. Got back from Japan on Monday, have a small mountain of apartment information to go through, and now I'm sitting on my hands waiting for my TA job to start."

"But we're back in the cabins and the new kids are here, and there's a ton of 'em, Red. Like wee little bugs."

"No, you can't," Rikku huffed, again, "because I said so, and tell Gippal that if he tries that crap again, I'll -- did you hear something?"

Something cheery and digital sounding. Her ... phone?! She didn't think she was close enough to the tower to be getting a signal. Phone! Phoooooooone! Cue one Al Bhed girl diving for her bag and rooting through it, quickly. Do not drop the signal, tower. Do not. Do not. Do not.

"Hello?" she gasped.
the_merriest: (in you and i)

[personal profile] the_merriest 2009-05-13 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"RENO," Rikku shouted, waving off the Al Bhed guy who wanted to argue with her. Not now! "ILOVEYOUIMISSYOUILOVEYOU."

She had to start with that, in case the signal dropped again, because she'd kick herself if she didn't get that out.

Romeo was reading in his bunk when his phone rang, and his day got much better when he saw who the number belonged to, and he was grinning as he spoke.

"Is this Reno, or does the display on my phone deceive me?"
withoutverona: (laughing)

[personal profile] withoutverona 2009-05-13 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine," Romeo said. "A little bored, even. I got a TA position for a class that I only have to sit on the beach for." A beat. "Did I ever blow anything up? Should I start? How are you?"

It was all coming out in one breath.

Dinah looked up from playing examining her new Crime Scene kit, and reached over to grab her phone. "Lance Investigations, reasonable rates for an unreasonable world!"

[identity profile] blondecanary.livejournal.com 2009-05-14 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Reno!" Plus he probably figured she'd squeal it for him. "Hi hi hi! How are you? How is home? How is Mako?"

"DOES THIS WORK?"

Well, at least Arthur had learned his lesson about keeping the phone close to his face.
bitchprince: (look out above?)

[personal profile] bitchprince 2009-05-14 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
"I AM talking NORMALLY," Arthur told the phone. Except he wasn't. "Are you SURE you can HEAR ME?"

"Depends!" she said cheerfully. "Do I get a present if I answer a certain way?"

"Hey, you've reached Sokka's voice mail, the most awesomest voice mail in the universe. I dunno when -- or even if -- I'll be somewhere my phone will work again, but go ahead and leave a message anyway. If you're Mel, I love you, and if not, try to pretend I didn't just say that." *beep*
