The House Called Honolulu Heights, Barry Island, Monday Morning

George sat at the breakfast table with an untouched cup of tea, doing what he had been doing for most of last week... nothing, staring at the walls, trying not cry

Jack was still in New York. It turned out that three nights spent in a sewer eating rats did not increase his motivation to get back to London and find a job. This was fine, for now.

That mattered less when he read the text.

Amazing! Congratulations. Both in one piece?

The question was ... not entirely flippant.

[chose_humanity]

yes, we're both fine. perfect, actually. everything's looking up for a change!

For now, anyway.

[bitten_notshy]

maybe this time it'll last!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Though Jack must have realized he just doomed them, because:

i really shouldnt say things like that. but i am happy for you both. how was it?

[chose_humanity]

...complicated.

Or another bullet on the long list of terrible things Mitchell really didn't want to talk about that would clearly never come to bite him in the ass.

we're hosting a housewarming next week. you're welcome to come.

[bitten_notshy]

of course.

Really, that one would have been a no-brainer even if it hadn't been a step toward being back on the right side of the Atlantic.

hug annie for me.

[chose_humanity]

think you can do that yourself when you get here.

There were some minor advantages to being a werewolf. Though whether being able to interact with Annie was one of them was... well, up to the werewolf.

Jack frowned at the phone without comprehension for a minute, then:

oh, right! so i definitely need to come.

Seeing her again counted as a benefit for Jack, at least.

[chose_humanity]

kate says you should make green rum drinks i think this is an excellent idea

And as far as Mitchell's excellent ideas went, this one was mostly harmless, so hey.

[bitten_notshy]

WE SHOULD. green rum drinks are magical things, Jack had to agree. also remind me of bahamas. match hotel's theme.

All tropical places were pretty much the same, right?

[chose_humanity]

annie says to bring little umbrellas if you do, Mitchell reported. and it's her party...

[bitten_notshy]

umbrellas + maybe some silk leis, Jack promised. anything else she wants?

[chose_humanity]

no i think she's good otherwise.

Or too busy just being glad she was back. Either or.

[bitten_notshy]

Coming back to life -- or unlife -- would have that effect, wouldn't it?

then great, see you soon!
