#5 - Phone.

[It's some time in the afternoon, and getting bored with just lazing around, Arc' has decided to attempt to contact Shiki (though anyone else could totally substitute) to coerce request him to take her around town.]

So, what time should I show up Shiki?

...what.

1/2

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen as much of the town as I want to.

So, feel free to pick where we stop first.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Have you been looking at what's going on or are you blind?

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Are you talking about the flickering lights?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I don't know but I'm busy right now. I'm not even at home so give me a couple days.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Fine. I guess I'll find someone else.

[A pause.]

Are you alright though?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I'm fine. I just need to take care of Alice until she gets better.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

What happened to her?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

She did something stupid and collapsed unconscious.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Doesn't that just sound familiar.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Uh....no?

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Well, anyways, if you need help I can offer my assistance.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I don't really know what you could do other than just sit here....

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Well if you just told me what to do!

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Sitting is the only thing to do!

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

I guess that'd be fine too, if you're there.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Can you promise not to be loud?

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Don't worry, she means it this time.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

If you're telling the truth, I guess you can come over.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

[And a click on the phone and one trip later, Arc is just... sitting there on the porch staring toward the street because WHAT IS KNOCKING?]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[Shit, son. You better come in the house, SHIKI WILL NEVER KNOW]

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

[Boring meter: 50% but she's still going to wait.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[Arc must have got lost because she's clearly not coming in. HEH]

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

[Okay, 80% now. Damn it Shiki, YOU'RE ALWAYS SO LATE.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[HEY YOU'RE THE ONE NOT KNOCKING]

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

[Enough time has passed for maximum bitching so out of irritation Arc' gets up and walks right on in.]

Shiki!

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

Oh...that took you a long time.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

It's your fault for not noticing I was there.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

I'm not psychic, you idiot.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

I promised not to be loud so I didn't knock on the door.

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

That's the dumbest thing I ever heard.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

So how's Alice?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

She's just knocked out. Other than that, I think she'll be fine.

[tsukihimay.livejournal.com]

How did it happen?

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

She used her magic and she overwhelmed herself with it.
