1/25. Turnabout Return

[ The video clicks on to show the front pockets of a grey sweater and a dusty wood coffee table and an empty sofa. There's a staleness to the apartment, as if it hasn't been cleaned in weeks, which is pretty likely. The wearer shifts, pulling his right hand from his pocket and running it across the table before lifting his hand out of the screen. ]

Hey! There's a face I wasn't expecting to see.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

And there's one I was hoping to.

[video]

[notadartboard]

Yeah, unlike you I haven't been so lucky to go see home and crew again. Oh well. You came back at an interesting time.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

I'm sorry I missed the first few hands.

[video]

[notadartboard]

Oh, I'm pretty sure we haven't even gotten anywhere near the high-stakes game, don't worry. You haven't missed a hell of a lot. I don't even fully get what everyone's on about, I'm stuck in a kitchen most of the day.

[objectiondenied]

Then there's still time for a few more players to join.

[video]

[notadartboard]

Be my guest. The table's open.

Good to see you again.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

You too.

Anything beyond the world ending I should know about?

[video]

[notadartboard]

Uh...

I've got a cell phone?

Up until all this started happening, most of the talk on the device was about the institute's prom, who was asking who for a date and all that.

And I thought graduating meant I didn't have to hear about all the high school drama anymore.

[responding text message with Sanji's number, he's getting the hang of it!]

Hey, some of us never got to have the experience. Or even heard of such a thing, for that matter. Warren seemed to think I'd enjoy myself at the gala, so why not? Unless it's the same day as the wedding I'm catering, that would be unfortunate.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

[Brava!]

Oh, so you're the caterer? Guess that means the food will be tolerable.

[video]

[notadartboard]

More than tolerable. I worked out a fantastic menu with Miss Raven, it'll be splendid. I promise.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

Looking forward to it. I R.S.V.P.d a little late, but I think the bride to be has forgiven me.

[video]

[notadartboard]

She's a fine lady, like that. Her groom is very lucky~.

[video]

[objectiondenied]

That's for sure.
