[congeals]

[ The text surprises him, but he can tell it's urgent. ]

Day 237 audio evening

[occulthymns]

Have you seen Pyro in the last couple of days?

[He better not be ignoring her she will destroy him if he is.]

[congeals]

...No. Why?

voice;

[eggsterminate]

Bobby. Important question to which there is only one right answer.

Opinion on musical adaptions of 18th century novels and opera.

[congeals]

[ Well, if there's only one right answer... He can take a guess. ]

There's nothing better?

voice;

[eggsterminate]

If the Doctor asks, I'm staying with you, alright?

voice;

[congeals]

All right.

What's up?

action!!

[nukeoleptic]

[ And she will be waiting for him at the Highwind in Heimdall-- she is actually the only waitress on staff right now, ha. ]

[congeals]

[ He arrives punctually, glancing around for her. He's seen one of her video posts before, but it's been a while, so he hopes he can correctly recall what she looks like.

And there she is! He smiles brightly and waves. ]

Hey.

[justonetouch]

[Bobby did say the door would be open, so Pyro just barges in, closing it heavily behind him. His fatigue and agitation are more evident in person, especially when he's not posturing for the network. Unlike Bobby, he hasn't bothered to bring any snacks or gifts - but that probably won't come as a surprise.]

Me and Euri had a fight. She's probably not talking to me again anytime this century. Happy?

[congeals]

[ In all honestly, nothing much about John surprises him anymore. He glances at him from his position on the couch. ]

What'd you fight over?

voice

[justonetouch]

Guess what?

[congeals]

You're ready for another rematch?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[When Pyro arrives at Bobby's room, he's already drunk. Not falling-over, puking drunk, but his eyes are glazed and his face flushed, and everything about him just looks rumpled and unkempt. There's a bottle of whiskey hanging loosely from one hand, uncapped, probably about to drop and shower the carpet.

His knock is slow and loud, not stopping until Bobby answers.]

[congeals]

[ It takes several minutes for Bobby to answer, as he was sleeping peacefully before Pyro's sudden arrival. ]

...John? [ His voice turns from tired to alert once he sees his friend's state. ] What's the matter?

[ He glances at the bottle in his hand before reaching out to take it away. ] You've been drinking?

after pyro's post

[justonetouch]

Day 308 :: Voice

[kuramaless]

Hey, Oi Sasuke--

Are y'there?

Man, this thing has been like stupid right? I think I accidentally touched that ice too much, my fingers still feel frozen.

We should go out for ramen, yeah? I'm gonna get Gaara to come too.

I'm coming over there now. I can see your house.

Er, yeah I'm here. You comin' down?

[ Voice ]

[congeals]

Hey. I think you've got the wrong number.

day 322 (event) | voice

[ex_outofcontrol435]

We need to talk right now. Bring Rogue. Just outside the Gate of Fog, now.

[A pause.]

I don't care what you have to tell her, just make sure she comes. It's important.

[congeals]

What's going --

[ He pauses as well, in consideration, before: ]

Okay. See you in twenty.

voice

[justonetouch]

[Slightly puzzled sounding.]

Do they have some lottery here, where you win even if you don't enter?

[congeals]

Don't think so. [ A pause. His smile's almost audible. ] You hit the jackpot or something?

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Just leaving for Vanaheim. Be back in five days.

We actually got a god-given promise of safety, so any worrying at this point and you're just being a pussy.

[congeals]

love you too

voice | 334

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Bobby?

[His voice is small, unsure. Something huge has gone down here, and even though everyone comes back, gods also lie. No matter how much damage has been done to the city before - some of it by him - seeing it this devastated has him more than a little freaked out.]

Talk to me, man. What is all this shit?

[congeals]

John? [ He's back. ]

You're okay? Where are you?

[340 | morning | offline]

[ex_outofcontrol435]

[The thing about Euri is that she's a creature of habit, and her sleeping habits are as regular as the others. That's how he first realizes, through the haze of half-sleep, that something's wrong.

There's a body behind him when one should be on top of him, spread across him as though he were some kind of massive stuffed toy. That lack of pressure on his chest and abdomen, combined with the fact that he's on his side, form the first part of his confusion.

The second mostly focusses on the shape of the body pressed against his back, spooning him affectionately. It's too large, too solid, without any cushioning up front. That's nearly enough to send him into a panic, but then the fourth thing hits him: it's embarrassing to admit, but after a few years of living in the same room with him, Pyro knows Bobby's scent. Especially when he's close enough for it to be this overpowering.

He is in bed. With Bobby.

That's when he wakes up fully, and all the memories of the curse crash over him like a tsunami. Letting out muffled, strangled sounds of horror, he pries away the arm around his middle and tries to wiggle out of the bed without having to climb over Bobby's sleeping body, because straddling is right out of the question at this point. He has to get as far from Bobby as mutantly possible without touching him too much in the process.]

[congeals]

[ Bobby groans a bit from all the movement and attempts to wrap an arm around his fleeing companion. Still asleep, he murmurs: ]

Rogue.

[asgardsbeauty]

[In honor of the Earth holiday centering on love, Freya sends out a little gift around this time.

A small box containing a piece of chocolate will appear on your pillow during the day. When consumed, the chocolate’s magic will lift your mood for a short period of time. It’s accompanied by a note.]

Where love might bring about sorrow, it also welcomes joy.

backdated to Day 400

[asgardstricks]

[ In honour of the god centering on love being a giant frilly prissypants, Loki sends his own little gift just a few hours after hers.

His box of chocolate will look, smell, and taste exactly like Freya's did, appearing right next to where Freya's was or is if you haven't picked it up yet. The only difference between the two is that Loki's won't lift your mood; it'll give you loud and embarrassing flatulence for the next three hours.

It's also accompanied by a note. ]

Where joy might bring about yearning, it also welcomes wonder.
