So... ( the only thing worse than being stuck in Utah? )

That sound? Would the sound of somebody who didn't get a phone call last night. Somebody who might be just twitchy enough to call now even though he's been avoiding it so far so he didn't draw attention to Bridge's phone at a bad time. Somebody who might get just a little paranoid about not hearing from people.

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:06:14 UTC

"Um, hi?" Bridge answers the phone with that sort of forced casualness that's supposed to hide the fact that he feels totally guilty about not calling last night but really doesn't do the trick at all.

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:10:57 UTC

"You okay?" Habitual things first.

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:17:59 UTC

"Other than being even *further* behind her now?" and that'd be frustration peeking through, there, "just peachy."

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:20:23 UTC

"Did you get attacked by a giant phone-eating robot or something?"

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:24:59 UTC

"No," Bridge scoffs. "Giant robots are never seen in this part of the country."

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:25:46 UTC

"Which part of the country would that be?"

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:29:12 UTC

"Well, Wyoming *now*. And, uh. Utah. Yesterday." When he hadn't called.

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:33:29 UTC

"Oh, Utah, that explains it. I forgot about the lack of cell reception there."

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:38:58 UTC

"Well," Bridge says slowly. "It's not so much lack of cell reception as... they sort of took away my phone? And then the payphone was like 'sorry, no long distance calls for you' only it didn't actually talk because phones don't do that."

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:41:53 UTC

"They kind of do; that's what makes them ph-- Who took away your phone?"

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:44:58 UTC

"...The Salt Lake City Police Department?" Bridge says, in a tiny, tiny voice.

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:47:13 UTC

"You're in jail?" That'd be Xander reaching for his laptop to dial up Portalocity, yes.

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 04:49:52 UTC

"Was! Was in jail!" Bridge yelps. "Past tense! If I were still in jail they wouldn't have given me my phone back."

Re: IC THREAD! needsaparrot January 9 2008, 04:54:12 UTC

"....Okay point." Xander takes a breath and realizes that dialing down from 'sarcastic asshole' to 'concerned boyfriend' could be a thing. "What happened? Did the SPD people find you? How'd you get away?"

Re: IC THREAD! bridge_carson January 9 2008, 05:00:18 UTC

"It's really kind of stupid," Bridge says. "I mean, I was just at the bus station, and these other guys got in a fight, and I sort of... got in the middle of it?"
