[The comm clicks on after it's been dropped, spinning around until it's pointing straight up. Off camera, J seems like he's having a pretty bad day. Or maybe days?]

Ow, ow, the hell did I do last night

J? J, are you quite all right? Has something happened?

[Voice]

[two_stepsahead]

[The communicator comes back on a couple minutes later with only voice this time, and J sounds distracted.]

Yeah yeah, everything's fine. Just got surprised or something.

...How've you been? Haven't seen you around for a while.

[Voice]

[epic_celestial]

[Temeraire is SUSPICIOUS...but also too polite to pry without good reason.] ...If you are terribly sure, J.

Oh, I have been quite well, thank you. I have been working to pay off my debts to the poor souls whose building I destroyed. And yourself? It has been some time since we last spoke.

Just been around, nothing new, really.

Weird thing happened though, I woke up someplace where I definitely didn't go to sleep.

[Voice]

[epic_celestial]

Ah, I can certainly understand that.

....... [Suddenly intent Temeraire is suddenly intent.] When was this, J?

[Voice]

[two_stepsahead]

I guess that would be this morning? It's the 7th, isn't it? [He fully expects a no, judging from the sudden tension in Temeraire's tone.]

[Voice]

[epic_celestial]

[And he gets it.]

No. Today is the 10th, I am afraid.

[Voice]

[two_stepsahead]

...Well.

That's weird.

[Voice]

[epic_celestial]

And not entirely unexpected, either. You are hardly the first that something like this has happened to.
