Room 218, Friday Night

Dec 02, 2011 22:38

Karla was planning to head upstairs to Warren's room in a few minutes, she just had a few more herbs to mix for brews. It seemed less and less likely that this--whatever if was--was going to end in a fight, but she figured it would be best to be prepared anyway. The last of her spidersilk was spun into Healing webs, there were potions and tinctures ( Read more... )

But was she ready for a phone call? Because Jaime had spent a fruitless week not learning anything, and the helplessness was getting pretty overwhelming.

So he was calling Fandom, hoping to offer something of some use to someone, even if it was just a place to hide people. And Karla was the only person in his list that he could still get his phone to connect to.

Mother Night, not another phone call.

Look, after Karla's week, it only made sense she was developing a kind of phone-phobia. She was starting to think that this was her punishment for all the 'Hi, I'm off to do something dangerous!' messages she'd ever left.

Still, she picked up. These days, you couldn't not.

"Jaime?"

She answered the phone.

Which made Jaime's throat tighten at the reminder of the people who hadn't.

"Karla." Oh, hello there, obvious tone of relief. Could you be any more obvious?

"I'm here," Karla said quietly. "Fandom's still okay. How're you? Can you get here? Tomorrow is the last day for portals, but there's a branch on the island now and we might be able to work something out..."

Please don't make her lose another friend, Jaime. She's kind of at her limit.

Morton was missing his cousin. And since he had no more pressing matters to spend his time on, he decided to give Karla a call.

"Karla!" he said as soon as she answered. "I love Emma for giving me this thing." And Warren for teaching them all how phones actually worked, but, while Morton was feeling A-OK today, that still didn't lead to him doing more than grudgingly admitting Karla's feathered boyfriend was more than 'acceptable.' "How're you? How's your crazy school? And your even crazier friends?"

Not that Cassidy was one of Karla's crazy friends. But Morton wasn't going to ask about her outright. Not at first.

Karla was...staring at her phone in shock, just a bit. When her phone had flashed Morton she'd answered, expecting the worst. Not this cheerful, lighthearted greeting, the one that sounded like nothing was wrong...

Even if parts of Kaeleer weren't being stripped away and vanishing, Morton still shouldn't sound this...happy. There were Black Widows to smuggle and a secret army to raise and Julian to deal with and Hobart sitting like a smug vulture over everything...

"Morton?" she asked, concerned. "Are you okay?"

glacial_warlord December 4 2011, 01:55:36 UTC

"Why wouldn't I be?" Morton asked with a laugh. "And you call me fussy! I call to check up on you and you act like it's some kind of harbinger of doom!"

glacial_witch December 4 2011, 02:09:02 UTC

"Morton," Karla hissed. "Is someone listening to you? Is this your way to warn me? Hobart? Did he find you guys? Haven? Mention Emma again if you need help."
