How's New York? What have I missed? How's my girlfriend? Or should I be asking if I still have a girlfriend?

New York is good, the Prof wants everyone to go help spruce up the mansion, Amara's good as far as I can tell but she doesn't come by as much when you're not here, and you probably should be asking her the last question.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

He didn't say. I guess maybe it'll take more than one day.

I'm going to tell her you miss her.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Maybe they'll let you burn the broken stuff when they've got it out, or something.

You know what I'll do if you come near my eyebrows. Bring it on.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

What, telling Amara?

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Texting her once in a while when you're not here would be a pretty good start in letting her know you care, you know. But I get your point. Maybe something nice from local to there?

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Even better, it means they won't be peddling the usual tat. Buy something off a local person that they made.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

She wouldn't think you were being inconsiderate. Maybe if you booked it behind her back and expected her to drop everything, but not if you talk it over first and find a good time.

She likes you, you like her. Pretty good reason.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

There goes that element of surprise. What did you do for V-Day?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

If you want the element of surprise, then you recruit me and I recruit Callie and we find out when the best time would be for you.

Took her out to dinner on the day. Tried and tested.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

You're a fucking genius. You're recruited.

I can't even remember what I was doing on that day.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

I'll get back to you on when Amara's free when you get back, then.

Work, probably.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

I'll be back on Wednesday. Think you can pick me up from the airport at 6:30? AM?

Probably.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Yeah, okay, but you're buying me breakfast.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Hell, I'll make you breakfast. Except not.

How's Mandy? I think I forgot her birthday too.

Maybe there's a chance she didn't realize.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, I think she was trying to pretend it didn't happen. Between that and Meggan getting accepted to ESU, she's feeling old.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for a chick. I guess she is old.

I should definitely text her with a happy OLD birthday.

Who's Meggan?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Her little sister. Used to be fuzzy, but it turned out she's a shapeshifter.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. That kid. I haven't been to the mansion in ages.

You still on punch first and talk later mode with Douglas whats-his-face?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Still occasionally punching, but only at actual events, and talking to him again. He's not the real enemy.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Good. Cause I'm thinking I want to visit Marie-Anne Colbert or whatever the fuck her name is. You know just for the heck of it when I get back. Life's short and I figure I should make the most of it and it's been a while since I last cared enough to visit anyone. Unless they're no longer dating in which case, fuck Dougie. Douglas. Whatever HIS name is.

Obviously I'm telling you this because you're coming along.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

They're not. Haven't been for, like, a year, but I think she's with that new guy Wade now.

Sure, I'll come along.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Huh. Don't know him. So who's Doogie with?

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Jubilee, for awhile, but they broke up. Don't think it's anyone right now.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a thing that goes around. Hell, I thought you and Mandy would marry, have a bunch of kids and move to London or something, but nope. You broke up. Pretty much wrecked my believe in everlasting relationships and happy ever afters. Damn you, Espinosa.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Eh, that might have been on the cards once but things change. We were going different ways.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Guess that happens.

I should go. Get some more work done before it starts to get dark. There's talk about a territorial dispute happening between two different kinds of assholes and we're being told to get the hell out in case things get ugly. A bunch of us are planning on sticking around for as long as we can to keep working on this water dam project though, but it still looks like we're going to have to come back to finish this up some other time. Maybe you can come along during the next trip. You could maybe stand on a fence right in the middle and slap both sides upside the head while the rest of us get water to the refugees.

[x-skin.livejournal.com]

Okay. Stay safe, and tell them if anything happens to you your roommate will come kick the crap out of whoever did it.

Maybe I will.

[x-pyromania.livejournal.com]

Yeah, think about it. It'll be good to have you here.

Later, Ange.
