Did you get me the big one? Like I asked? If not, I won't be here. If so, I'll be here in the morning. My shift is from noon to however long it takes tomorrow.
Then I'll probably be busy. [You can practically hear the happiness oozing out of her every pore.]
[Heavy sigh]....Jinx, you're paying me back for this one.
[Grumbling that has 'why do I have to do this shit' and 'fuckeveryoneelse.' Also grumbling about 'fucking agoraphobics in public places'. It goes on for a few seconds and then he cuts off part way through to cover the phone and something along the lines of 'No, I don't need help.' can be heard before he's back.]
Yeah, yeah. You should be happy I'm actually paying rent now.
[She seems to come back down to earth a little.] Then go into the bathroom and take a second to breathe. When you calm down, go finish with the mattresses, find the cheapest most durable couch you can, then book it to the nearest dark alley.
[there's a pause, and then he kind of laughs. It's still coming out distorted, but when he goes to talk again, it's only obvious if you know what his voice normally sounds like.]
You know that whole rule about not bringing people home with us? Well, you brought home Cat and I brought home Lutz. So we're equal on that front. But you brought home Claudio, and he's staying, so it's only fair I get a temporary guest every so often.
