Hi. This is Jaye. Leave a message, and if I actually give a damn about what you have to say to me, I'll return the call. If not, take the hint, loser.

BEEP.

"It's Jaye," she said. "How much have you had to drink and why aren't you sharing?"

"Jaye! I called you a little while ago. Ohhhh that's why Pluto. You're not there, are you? They made it so Pluto isn't a planet anymore. Don't they know how much this messes stuff up? There are nine planets in the solar system. Nine. Now they're saying there's only eight, which messes up so many textbooks and that's gonna get kids to set them on fire because they're wrong and then it'll add to global warming and then we'll all die and have to go live on Mars. I don't want to live on Mars." He paused. "Where are you? I have another bottle here and it's no fun drinking alone."

"I'm in LA," she said. "I'm working with Angel now. Where are you? I'm guessing not Pluto."

"Phidelp...Philelel...Philly. I don't know why. It was where the first bus was going. You're working with Angel as in the vampire guy, right? Not as in the angel teacher guy from school?" He sounded wary.

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"Ew, no," she said, making a face. "Vampire guy. You just got on a bus and went to Philly?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

"Uh-huh. I was in Colorado a few months ago and then I started walking east. Then I got tired and hitchhiked a little and worked at Dairy Queen in Indiana and then I got bored, so I went to the bus station and the first bus was going to Philly, so I went there. Came here. I'm getting bored again though. That's where the drinking comes in. How can you breathe in LA? Don't they have smog and stuff that kills brain cells?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"Like I was raging with those to begin with?" she asked. "We all have special masks we use when we have to go outdoors. If your oxygen tank runs out, forget it. You walked east? Get a job, oh my god."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

"I have a job, oh my god! In my past life, I was in the Air Force, but I don't want to do that again, so I'm killing time before John and Aeryn's wedding and then I don't know. It's not easy, y'know, having a future you have to live out so you don't mess up someone else's timeline but not being able to do it straight away. What are you meant to do while you're hanging around, waiting to be useful? I was thinking skeeball."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"Skeeball works. Oh! You can be a drain on society. I hear that works out really well. Are you pulling in any unemployment? Robbing banks? Hopping trains?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"No, no, I'm working at a seafood restaurant. I get free food, but I'm getting paid too, so no unemployment. I could hop trains. Where should I go next, Jaye? I'm getting bored with Philly and their hockey team sucks. After the wedding, I mean. I could catch a train to LA!"

That was so not a good idea.

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

"I don't know, how are the... whatever our hockey team's name is doing? Is it worth it?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"The Kings." Even drunk, Kawalsky knew hockey. "They're doing okay. Some wins, some losses. I hate them on principle, but I'd totally take you to a game and we could mock everyone and try to get fans to fight with each other."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

See, even if this was a bad idea, it sounded like a good idea to Jaye. Then again, she just should never be trusted. "You still owe me a game from way back in the day, you know."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Then I'll have to take you to two games! We could see an Anaheim game too. I hate those guys."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

"Why does California need so many hockey teams?" she asked, curious. "I mean, California."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"I know! They don't even have a real winter! Maybe we should protest that California shouldn't have hockey teams."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"I'd be okay with that. It would make the traffic around here easier. For like a day. Until they put something else in the stadium."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Like a skeeball tournament?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"I don't know if they have those," she said thoughtfully. "At least not outside of Chuck E. Cheese."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Turn the stadium into a giant Chuck E. Cheese?"

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"Or cram a ton of hardcore skeeball players and fans into a Chuck E. Cheese."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

He went quiet for a moment. "I could kick your ass at skeeball."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"...Oh, it's on, bitch," she said. There had to be somewhere around here where she could practice.

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

"Bring it. You and me. Skeeball championship. Whenever I get my ass out there."

Re: Oh look, Jaye's phone might be ringing.

[fates_jaye]

"Oh, it's already been broughten. Call me before you show, so it can't be like you practiced all beforehand and you leave me totally unprepared."
