33 Apocalypse Avenue, Thursday Evening

Jack wasn't ready to say goodbye to Kaidan. He remained quite firmly opposed to this general trend of people leavingBut if Kaidan was going to go fight purple blobby land jellyfish --or whatever he was up to -- he deserved a decent send-off. Which was why Jack had ordered several pizzas, laid in a few kegs of Canadian lager, and sent an email to ( Read more... )

You know you want to.

As much as he disliked the reason for this one, there was some part of Jack that always loved a party. He buzzed about straightening this and fussing over that, and seemed happy enough to be playing the host.

Emma had totally called in sick to class and work for this. Why wouldn't she? Plus? She'd brought actual New York Deep Dish. Lots of it. Ten pizzas, actually.

She knew how much a biotic, a werewolf, a growing mutant, and the other disreputable denizens of their building (and assorted groupies) could eat. Emma wasn't going to let Kaidan leave hungry.

"Hullo, darlings, I'm home!" she yelled, kicking at the door with her foot to be let in. Sure, she still had her keys, but her arms were full. "And Auntie Emma brought more food!"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 14 2014, 16:22:21 UTC

"I'd tell you you were my favorite auntie if that wasn't creepy," Jack said cheerfully. He kissed Emma's cheek and carried the extra pizzas over to the table. "Hello there. Hope the lampreys weren't too much trouble."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 14 2014, 16:41:41 UTC

"Is that what those are? They're disgustingly creepy," Emma replied cheerfully as she handed over the pizzas. "Hope I brought enough, but I had to discard one or two due to lamprey."

So, so gross.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 14 2014, 17:14:08 UTC

"More than enough," Jack promised. "Kaidan didn't want anything too big. And I think we can only eat two pizzas each or so."

He made a face at the pies. "And now I'm thinking about lamprey pizza."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 15 2014, 01:03:17 UTC

"I'd be a bit like a sushi pizza, wouldn't it?" Emma speculated. "But still wriggly."

She tossed her purse by the door as she kicked off her heels before padding over to return Jack's kiss on the cheek. "Kiss kiss, darling. Miss me?"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 15 2014, 15:08:49 UTC

"Always," Jack told her, putting his hands on her waist to draw her into a closer embrace. "Even got a tattoo for you."

It wasn't the most elegant segue ever, but he couldn't wait another second to tell her.

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 15 2014, 16:09:29 UTC

"You did not," she scoffed, rolling her eyes. "But that's sweet of you to say."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 15 2014, 16:16:54 UTC

Jack quirked an eyebrow. "Would you bet on it?"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 15 2014, 16:30:16 UTC

"You have a disgustingly efficient healing ability, my wolfish boy," Emma pointed out, tapping him on the nose. "A tattoo wouldn't last ten seconds."

"So yes, I'll take that bet."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 15 2014, 16:39:31 UTC

"You underestimate our ingenuity," Jack bantered back, amused, and turned his leg and rolled up his khakis so she could see his calf.

On it, she'd see something much like this.

"All it takes is a bit of flame."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 15 2014, 16:44:33 UTC

Emma blinked. And opened and closed her mouth a few times, looking utterly stunned.

Emma, you look like a codfish. Stop that.

Finally: "I get points for not just looking in your brain and tell me you did not set yourself on fire."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 15 2014, 16:46:28 UTC

"Not all of myself," Jack said, beaming at how stunned she was. Anytime he got to surprise Emma was extra-sweet. "Just, er -- a little bit of my leg. Which healed."

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] icecoldfrost August 15 2014, 16:53:25 UTC

Clearly the responsible and mature response was to punch Jack in the shoulder. Not with a diamond fist, mind you, but she knew how to punch.

"And how, exactly did we learn that setting ourselves on fire makes tattoos stick?" Emma asked sweetly. "And how did we decide it was a good idea?"

Re: Arrive + Mingle [8/14] bitten_notshy August 15 2014, 16:59:12 UTC

Jack did not give her the satisfaction of wincing. "Derek knew," he said. "Are you happy about it nor not? Because if you aren't, I'll go find someone named Winter or Flake to date and say it's for them."

He was joking. Almost entirely joking.
