Rude's Apartment, Edge, Thursday Afternoon

Jul 02, 2009 11:46

Too much drinking. Toooo much drinking, and fretting, and getting the rookie in trouble. And nothing in the world made a guy feel like cleaning his mouth out with sandpaper than a night that started with Corel ale, and then headed into rum and ice-cream territory. And really, it was a wonder that Reno had managed to drag his sorry ass back home ( Read more... )

Romeo had finally, victoriously, gotten the cable company to agree to come now, and was celebrating this feat with a phone call to Reno.

... no, he didn't have much to do with himself just now.

Ring, Reno's phone, ring!

raspberryturk July 2 2009, 14:59:34 UTC

Ringing! It was ringing!

In a ringtone that suggested that there wasn't impending doom awaiting him on the other end of the line.

Reno was, however, still in a bit of a state of shock as he answered. Could anyone really blame him?

"... Yo?"

"Reno," Romeo enthused with absolutely no impending doom, "we're in Tokyo and I managed to convince the cable company to come without bribery or getting Yurika to shout at them. How are you?"

raspberryturk July 2 2009, 15:14:21 UTC

Awww, Romeo sounded all happy, and junk! That was enough to make Reno grin a little, in spite of all the crap that had been flying around since yesterday.

"Better after hearin' a voice on the other end of the line that ain't gonna punch me in the face next time he sees me," Reno chuckled. "You got the cable company to show, huh? Speakin' in that fake-Wutai an' everything?"

Reno's phone probably wasn't ringing. It was probably making whatever noises it made when he had an incoming text message.

did u kno i'm a 'menace to society' red? apparently ur not supposed to leave the keys in the car. who knew?

Oh yes, someone was at work and clearly slacking off, much to her coworker's dismay

raspberryturk July 2 2009, 18:14:05 UTC

Oooh. Text message! That was a pleasant distraction!

Reno reached for his phone, read the text, and then broke into a lopsided grin.

that so? some1 run away w/ur car alredy or wat?

Hey, slacking was part of her cover. Far be it from Reno to do anything to blow her cover. He'd help slack, and gladly.

dojima_hime July 2 2009, 18:18:03 UTC

Reno would text her back just as soon as he was done snickering.

There were no words and no voice on the message that Arthur sent.

Instead it had two (2) pictures of his boots in the grass of the park, and three (3) images of Leto Atreides the Second, Prince Royal of the Universe (or whatever his title was, Arthur couldn't remember) wrestling a flamingo while trying to play croquet in the park.

Let it never be said Arthur wasn't up for frat boy tactics.

God help them all once he figured out how to send duplicates to Romeo.

raspberryturk July 2 2009, 18:51:28 UTC

Reno was going to sit and stare at these pictures for the rest of his life. Honest.

He was going to just sit there. And gape. And then howl with laughter for a good half-hour before finally typing in a text reply, actually taking pains to use proper grammar in the face of the fact that they were already bound to be teasing someone, and they didn't need fuel to poke at Reno, too, right?

Leto and pink birds? What did I miss?

And then, five seconds later, and with slightly less proper grammar:

also nice boots man

bitch_prince July 2 2009, 18:54:32 UTC

He is attempting some new kind of sport, Arthur texted back, Or he's lost his mind.

And about three minutes later (because this took him longer than Reno), My boots are very nice.

It would probably make more sense if he capitalized 'are', but being unfamiliar with the practice, he felt this held up.

raspberryturk July 2 2009, 18:58:55 UTC

maeby both? crazy letosports make 4 kickass pikturs tho

Yep. All effort at proper grammar had been tossed out the window already. Mostly because Reno got started on the message back, realized that he wasn't entirely certain on the proper spelling of 'maybe,' and then promptly gave up.

He could turn on that thing on his phone that automatically chose the word for him, but that had turned "fucked" into "ducked" last night, and so he wasn't going near it again. Ever.
