District Thirteen, Panem, Thursday Night, Fandom Time

Aug 12, 2011 01:36

So, a few nights ago, Karla had gotten a... very interesting voicemail. Then, however, had come Anakin's distress call and hilarious voicemails had gotten ignored in favor of getting here, assessing the situation, and figuring out what to do. But now, without a wedding to distract her--it wasn't like she was paying attention to her schedule anyway-- ( Read more... )

"He- NO! Scully! Give that back! That's not a chew toy! Scully! Ah! No! Moshi, don't attack her when she's got the... Aha! Go! Shoo before I lock you in the bathroom and make Spock cry."

... Sigh. "Hello? ew, puppy drool?"

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 05:52:54 UTC

"...Momoko?" Well, it certainly sounded like she was recovering from both the island and the night of over-indulgence. "Scully's playing with chew toys?"

heromaniac August 12 2011, 05:56:38 UTC

"Ah! K... Karla!" Momoko was a bit upset that she hadn't looked at the caller ID, now. "Uhm. Well it's not supposed to be a chew toy. She turned into a puppy last night."

...

"Uhm, I'm sorry I tried to eat you. I really am. Are you okay?" She was saying that a lot this week.

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 06:06:27 UTC

"Oh, Fandom," Karla sighed, grateful the island hadn't decided to turn her into an Arcerian kitten while it was at it.

"Forgiven." Like that was even a question, Momoko. "I'm okay. You weren't even the nastiest thing I tangled with that day." Which was...meant to be comforting? "How are you?"

heromaniac August 12 2011, 06:12:17 UTC

"I'm still sorry. Even more if you needed help and I wasn't there." Momoko sighed. Her friends were awesome, but why did they take this so calmly? She'd been EVIL! She was supposed to be a hero not a villain. "I'm better? Totally not a monster and wanting to eat people! Although I remember all of it. I visited Dinah for a few days. That's... I just needed to get away. You know?"

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 06:26:21 UTC

Because by the time she'd been evil, she hadn't really been Momoko anymore, had she? She might remember everything with a painful clarity, but she hadn't been in the driver's seat for most of it.

"I can understand that," Karla said, nodding in sympathy even over the phone. "That was pretty traumatic, Momoko. Getting a little distance is completely understandable." She couldn't help the teasing note that slipped into her voice when she added, "And it sounds like you two managed to forget about things for a little while anyway."

heromaniac August 12 2011, 06:29:48 UTC

"...to forget things?" Huh?

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 06:40:44 UTC

"I promise I wasn't ignoring you when you called me from the bar the other night," Karla said impishly. "You were talking to voicemail. At least, until that rude male stole your pretzels."

heromaniac August 12 2011, 06:49:37 UTC

Momoko paled. Too bad Karla couldn't see it. "Oh no. We called you, too? I am sooooo sorry! Was it bad? I totally don't remember anything from that whole night! Apparently we went to more than one bar. Someone stole my pretzels?"

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 07:02:22 UTC

And Karla was just going to crack up in answer. "It was hilarious," she assured Momoko. "Except for the part when you were really sad that I wasn't talking to you and you thought it was because I hated you. That was less funny."

But still slightly so.

heromaniac August 12 2011, 14:44:50 UTC

Momoko covered her eyes with her free hand. "Totally never drinking again," she muttered. "Ah. Well, it's true that I'd be sad if you'd hated me after the way I acted. I'd totally understand, but it would still be horrible."

"Where are you, anyway? I haven't seen you around today? And trust me, walking Scully means I was totally all over the island." Puppy curiousity plus Scully curiousity? UGH, Momoko was exhausted!

glacial_witch August 12 2011, 18:18:54 UTC

"If I never spoke to you again after that, I'd also have to break up with Warren, so you'll understand if I'm not exactly in a hurry to do either," Karla pointed out with a small smile. "Like I said. It wasn't you. I think I know you well enough to figure that one out."

In her own way, Momoko was gentler than either Karla or Dinah. Karla hadn't needed to see the creepy gray monster form to know that whoever was in control, it wasn't her friend.

"Darkness, I'm not about to hate you for something that wasn't your fault. Hell's fire, I'm having trouble thinking of things I would hate you for that could be your fault."

It wasn't that Karla was bad at finding reasons to hate people. But Momoko just wasn't that kind of person. At all. Ever.

"I'm visiting a friend, sort of," she said, smiling at the image of Scully as a puppy. "There's trouble here and a bunch of us are doing what we can to help."

Seriously. Worst vacation ever.

heromaniac August 13 2011, 03:29:04 UTC

"Oh wow. Warren was a monster too?! Awww! Give him a hug from me?" Momoko smiled and sank back to sit on her bed, totally relieved. "And thank you." Really, really thank you.

"Who's having trouble? Do I know them? I'm better, so I can totally help if you need me... Only no celebrating with drinks after. I am totally giving that up."

Not that she had ever picked it up, but still.

glacial_witch August 13 2011, 17:02:24 UTC

"I will," Karla said, glancing over at the gleefully modded, ha! form of her boyfriend. She lowered her voice. "I think he could use a couple of hugs."

From people who weren't her, even!

"I don't think you know her?" Karla said, after leaning over and giving Warren the promised hug and mouthing 'Momoko' at his questioning look. "Katniss? She's new this past year. But I don't know if we could get you in. Security here is--" it was hard not to say utterly ridiculous even though she thought it was. "--tight."

heromaniac August 13 2011, 19:48:55 UTC

"We all need hugs," Momoko sighed. "And, like, a support group. The teacher I TA for is really understanding about it, though. Professor Stark? I talked to him about it and he... seems like he's been there. Here. It felt good to talk to him about it today."

Another sigh and then she shook her head. Sorry, Karla! Cheery Momoko, coming right up!

"Hmmm. Katniss... I'm not sure? The name totally sounds familiar, but it may just be from stupid Radio. If you need me, you totally just have to say it, though." She frowned at the sad puppy eyes she was getting from Scully. "Don't even worry about 'security'. I'm totally not going to be that person who doesn't help her friends. I'll find a way in if you need me."

OH! She was sitting on the blue stuffie Scully'd become so attached to. Momoko lifted and handed it over, watching her friend carry it away happily.

glacial_witch August 13 2011, 21:18:45 UTC

Karla would completely understand not having a cheery Momoko for a bit. And would be very upset if she found out that Momoko was putting on a cheery face for her.

"No, no, you don't understand," Karla said, making a mental note to see if Momoko would like to come help her rescue Black Widows. "The whole place is like a giant bunker, hundreds of feet below ground or something. There's no way to get in without super-special clearance." She rolled her eyes. "Katniss practically had to give her eye-teeth to get us in here. This place is ridiculous."

Her resolution not to call it that hadn't lasted long, had it. "But I don't think there's anyone who knows you who would think you wouldn't go all out to help a friend. Or even just someone in need."
