Momoko's apartment, El Paso Texas, Late Sunday Evening

[heromaniac]

It wasn't until she was done with her third shower that Momoko remembered she'd turned her phones off while on this assignment for Oracle. She growled at the purple glow that still stuck to her arm ("Stupid intergang weapons...") and reached for her cel to listen to her messages.

"Warren..."After half an hour of trying every way she had to contact

A text from a Portalocity lounge

Back.

Life is so screwed up. Heading to New Gotham.

V. sorry about Kestrel.

[heromaniac]

Momoko stared at the message.

Nothing to be sorry about! COME HERE!

[blondecanary]

Have to catch up first. 3 weeks gone from New G.

If everything ok, maybe soon

u ok?

[heromaniac]

NO.

I am fine! Worried about you!

[lovemykilt]

Priestly was naturally going to respond, if nothing else just to let Momo know he was okay.

Well, sort of.

As nice as hiding sounds, should probably make sure my diner didn't get destroyed. Stevesie says hi.

Then, after a few minutes:

dont let dinah decide its all her fault

Then another few minutes after that:

its mine ill tell u about it later

[heromaniac]

It's not!!!! your fault

Not that Momoko had any idea what he was talking about.

its FANDOM weird. You didn't die, did you? Come here so I can hug you! I will make U dinner?

Return message:

Thank you for the offer; in return, as I did promise to inform you the next time, may I offer you dinosaur steak? Let me know when you might have time.

[heromaniac]

Momoko had to consider that a bit, then called Doctor Lecter back.

"Dinosaur steak?" She asked, after the appropriate greetings were done. "There were dinosaurs on the isand?!"

[never_dull]

"For several days," Hannibal answered, shaking his head. "Jono and I were attacked by one, and he was able to kill it. So, I have steaks. Not the best meat I've tasted, but the opportunity doesn't come often."

[heromaniac]

"Wow," Momoko shook her head and pouted. "I miss the best parts of Fandom weird, now. I was there a whole week and no monsters at all! Just all of my friends being totally weird."

She shifted the phone a bit to try to reach her planner. "How did it taste? The dinosaur? I'm totally guessing it wasn't one of the vegetarian ones?" Hmm. When could she squeeze in a daytrip...

[furnaceface]

It took Jono a while to reply via text, mostly because he'd needed to talk himself down from taking her up on that offer and then trying to find a place to live as far from the island as possible from there.

That was what Glacia was for. He had a responsibility there, after all.

Everything seems back to the norm here. Getting used to things like noises and daylight. Thanks for offering. I might head to Glacia, check on Karla instead.

And then, a few moments later:

How are you holding up? It's been a long few weeks.

[heromaniac]

Momoko had stared a moment at the text and then decided to go for it:

DO YOU HAVE A HEAD AGAIN???

and then she had to set the phone down. It was hard to flail nervously while holding it.

[furnaceface]

Jono had to blink and stare at the text before deciding that there was really only one way to respond to that.

If it involved sending her a photo of himself rolling his eyes toward the ceiling, well, that was because he was awful.

[heromaniac]

Momoko chuckled in relief. Hey! Wasn't sure if everything went back to normal!

*SAVE PHOTO?*

"Yes, please..." annnnnd done.

Yay your pretty eyes are back!

I am emotionally shredded at losing Warren again fine. Well, asid from being purple and worrying. Have you heard from Karla?? SIDRA IS GONE!
