Yes? Okay, maybe *you* can tell me why the hell that name's so familiar. It's been making me insane for over a week. Totally aside from the smarminess.

RE: GRRR. (*waves from sneakified account*)

This account's Willow-encrypted to the moon and back (by the way, we shot cheese at it with slingshots yesterday. Have I mentioned Bridge's holidays are WEIRD? And I don't mean Purim.) so probably a little more secure than yahell.

Remember me telling you about older you? And the guy who wasn't Angelo?

RE: RE: GRRR. (*waves from sneakified account*)

And this is my encrypted account, although it doesn't have Willow's special 'upgrades' on it. Still, Angelo's done his insane best.

Levity before the freak-out:
>(by the way, we shot cheese at it with slingshots yesterday. Have I mentioned Bridge's holidays are WEIRD?

People who used to lived in Hellmouth houses shouldn't throw cheese, guy. I mean, at least it's not a traditional 'we survived an apocalypse' party, right?

To get to the point:

Remember me telling you about older you? And the guy who wasn't Angelo?

I think the phrase I'm looking for is: oh, crap.

*flailing!*

WHAT THE HELL, XANDER.

Parker, checking the cartridges in my gun now, thanks

At one point, with a very subtle pop of displaced air, a case of Guinness appeared on the floor by Parker's bed, with a note attached.

Thought you might appreciate this. [Don't] Drink it all at once. -R

Parker blinked when she walked into her room, laughed when she read the note, then made the beer last for the rest of the evening, and sent another e-mail.

You so rule.

Nothing has walked out of the walls of the Eagle & Child, but I swear I could hear singing in the back rooms.

I need to figure out how to send you some chocolate via portal express!

No, but my linguistics professor whips out a tape recorder every time I open my mouth. It's getting a little creepy.

Yay Allison moved! Did you get a new suitemate?

If he's getting a paper out of you, he should give you a co-writing byline. Or a stipend. Or at least chocolate. I mean, that could count as voice harassment or something if he doesn't. Sheesh.

(Not that you're not worth a paper, but still, credit where it's due!)

> Yay Allison moved! Did you get a new suitemate?

Yes, and she's much cooler than Allison. Elizabeth Norris, Drama major, I knew her from the Mummers, although she's actually serious about it, if not much else.

Oh, and?

FUTURE HUSBAND.

Sadly, not mine. NOURHANE'S.

*still in shock*

I told him that if I wind up as 'subject' in some paper I will frak him up. Now he wants to know what 'frak' means...

New roomie's cute! I like her hair.

Whaddaya mean, 'sadly' not yours? I never pegged you for the marrying kind, Parker...also did not know Nourhane had a boyfriend, but then I don't live with her!

Oh oh oh you'll never guess who hooked up over winter break~! And it's v. convenient for them, too, that's your hint.

Give him Aeryn's number. She'll give him the definition and then demonstrate it, and save you the trouble.

Elizabeth's great, and she's already written some limericks about Alison. There once was a girl from Devonshire, whose nose couldn't get any higher...

I'm not the marrying kind, and Nourhane was being incredibly cagey, she never mentioned word one about Selim until he showed up at the dorm and was being worlds of sweet to her, helping her with her new computer and a ton of stuff from home, and, well, look:

At some point, a scribbled on note appeared from Parker's lamp.

Yes, but I don't want to talk about it. He totally had it coming.

Another note got sent via candle:

Understandable, then. IOU one beer and a bonfire to distract you with.

Everything else okay?

Mostly bored. And I have plenty of bonfires, thank you very much. Riding out tonight to run an errand for a friend.

Stay safe. I know you'll stay warm, you always do. Say hi to Sir Myles and all your guys for me. Shrimp for Faithful, of course.

Are there wailing noises?

Talk to you later, then. By which time I may have chilled incrementally.
