Arrival ][ Voice/Video; Open

[nocushywill]

[ Chase walks into a bar, unaware that he's no longer in New Jersey. Granted, the place looks different from when he last got himself drunk after that whole Dibala incident, but currently he's too preoccupied with leaving his ex-wife, Cameron, a message on her answering machine. Correction: technically, she's still he's wife as he's yet to sign the

[She's at the bar and when she hears the guy mention Thanksgiving she pauses. That's... not normal. Considering it's June it's very not normal. He does seem depressed though, but not the sort of depressed that calls people up nearly months later to ask about a holiday.]

Thanksgiving? [She'll ask, as she's sliding up from the stool and moving a few closer to him.]

Because... it's June.

[nocushywill]

[ Turns to face the girl. ] What's June?

[huntersdaughter]

The current month. [She tips her head and smirks.]

You... might want to take a step outside. Just for a moment. The street might not be what you recall.

[nocushywill]

[ He gives her a look; half amused and half confused. Like the kind of look you'd give someone when you think they might be messing with you, but you don't want to be rude in case they're somehow not. ]

I'm not going to go outside. I just came from outside and I'm here to have a drink. [ He frowns slightly. ] Did House put you up to this?

Good try, but whomever 'Allison' is, I wouldn't bank on her actually being here. [Draco looks rather bored with the entire situation, but he's had a bizarre itching to be around people lately. Can't be helped.

[and here, he's talking about the general tendency to pause every three words:] I also recommend fixing that verbal tick before it annoys someone.

[ Stares at the screen of his iPhone. How in the world... He's pretty sure he didn't activate FaceTime while making the call, and he couldn't have dialed wrongly.

Did Cameron change her number? ]

Sorry. Must have dialed the wrong number. [ Just go with the easiest explanation in cases like this and try calling again. ]

[alphaophiuchi]

[he rolls his eyes, clearly impressed.]

So far as I'm aware, your little Muggle device isn't going to call anyone who isn't here. I believe that's the restriction that's been placed on all of us.

[nocushywill]

Muggle device? Look, I've got no time for games, and I don't know what you're talking about.

[So Remy has been doing a lot of drinking.

It's not so much that she hates the city -- she hasn't been here long enough for that. It's her own personal demons she's dealing with, but when a very familiar accent orders himself a drink, she starts to worry if she's drinking a little TOO much.

She probably is, but. Details. She turns and she looks]

Chase?

action } { see no evil, hear no evil, nope.

[nocushywill]

[ He turns at the sound of her voice and almost rolls his eyes because the last thing he wants is for her to ask him if he's okay. But then he notices her hair. ]

You've got bangs. Wait. When did you have time to get your hair cut? [ Because Chase is a hundred percent sure she left the hospital at the same time he did. ]

action } { forever

[god_ihopeso]

[ .... and heeeeeeeere we go]

Hold that thought. You're gonna want your drink first.

Re: action } { forever

[nocushywill]

[ He narrows his eyes at first and then lets out a shrug and swallows a shot. ]

So, what is it?

Taub lit your hair on fire by accident? [ Manages a bit of a grin. ] Foreman proposed?

[video]

[omnomgoauld]

I somehow doubt she'll be returning you call.

[video]

[nocushywill]

Yeah. I got the message. I'm stuck in the "City of Sin". [ Actually does air quote that with one hand. ] Obviously, drunk enough to believe it.

Who're you?

[Voice]

[huge_egomd]

[House is sitting at home, just face-palming himself into a coma]

Point one: Cameron is no longer in your calling area.
Point two: I am in your calling area.

You are so screwed.

[Voice]

[nocushywill]

[ Pulls the phone away from his ear at hearing that familiar voice, and boy, doesn't he look baffled. ]

You took her cell phone?

[Voice]

[huge_egomd]

Why would I want Cameron's cell phone?

What I'm saying is...you're not where you think you are. And before you ask, no, I'm not stoned or drunk. Unfortunately.

[Voice]

[nocushywill]

I called her number. You answered. [ As if that explains everything. ]

And what do you mean by, I'm not where I think I am? I'm at a bar having-- [ Stares at his drink. He's got work in the morning. ] --a sandwich.
