"Hey. This is Atton. If you're getting this, I'm either not around or I can't tell you where I am, so leave a message and I'll figure out if I want to get back to you."

Beep.

Guess who was drunk at a cowboy bar and paying no attention to who she was sending pictures to?

The picture in this text was of a very drunk girl in high heels in the process of falling off a mechanical bull that she had been standing, not sitting on. Her screwed-up facial expression was pretty priceless.

whta th fuck s wrnog wth pple

[suitably_heroic]

... Yeah, that picture wasn't leaving Atton's phone any time soon.

I don't know. You tried asking them? he texted back.

Far be it from him not to encourage bad behavior.

After getting a call from home, Sia made a call of her own.

"It's Sia. When you get a moment, can you come to my room? I need to ask you something."

Because it was harder to say no when Vitor was right there being adorable.

Phone Day

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Hey, it's me. Something strange happened. It's not my fault, but he got loose and tried to terrorize the squirrels. But here's the crazy thing. The squirrels actually talked to him and got him to stop being kind of a jerk to them. And things were getting better, for them at least. Well, long story short, he's King of the Squirrels now, so we're all kind of under his iron paw now. That happened fast and nobody saw it coming."

"Personally, I think you're to blame here. Okay, bye."

Crazy Phone Day(s)!

[nottrivial]

Alec was just following up on another voicemail he'd just left someone else (which had incidentally been intended for a third, unrelated someone). That was all.

"And. The somewhere else we'd go would be that hotel. In case that wasn't clear."

He paused.

"...It's Alec again. Okay, bye."

The Fandom phone lines were literally the worst.

Re: Crazy Phone Day(s)!

[suitably_heroic]

Seriously. The worst.

It must be Atton's day for getting odd, sex-related calls! Lucky him!

"Look, I don't know about keeping stuff that smells like you or whatever, but if you wanna be best friends and that means sex, then sure, I'm in."

This was probably the one call that was better made to someone completely different.

Well that was just rude, and this time when Kitty sort of keysmashed with her paw to make a number come up, it was met with growling to say just how rude that was, thank you.

It actually went on for a while. Kitty had Feelings on this.

"For God's sake," a distinctly irritated (and bewildered) Éponine snapped, "I don't know why any of you think I give a damn about who rules the squirrels, or the fish, or the insects for that matter, since it's all very much the same, isn't it? I certainly don't care, and if you're planning an uprising against it I'm staying well out of your way."

Sparkle was bored.

Sparkle was so damn bored. The drama program that Hannibal had paid for him to go to in DC only ran Monday through Friday, and while today was a beautiful day in his neck of the woods, Sparkle really didn't feel up to going outside and wandering around. He'd picked up cat food already. That was enough effort for one day. He was laying on his back on the floor with his legs sticking straight upwards, ass against the wall and Velcro sitting on his chest when he texted Atton.

Hey. Hey. Hey you. Still alive out there?

[suitably_heroic]

Atton? Atton was safely back on the Ebon Hawk, waiting for Meetra and her team to make it back down again.

He spun around in his pilot's chair and snagged his phone off one of the consoles.

Still alive and accounted for. Not for lack of trying, but hey, things are starting to look up.

He was going to eat that later.

[notacokeperson.livejournal.com]

Karina was bored. She was waiting for a bed to stick Sparkle in at the clinic and he'd gone to sleep, which meant, hey, she had no one to talk to.

Which meant Atton was getting a text:

Sparkle's free. At the clinic. You get to be here for him in the morning. I promised one of us would be.

So she was nominating Atton. Yes.

And here, Aeryn's translator microbes had caught all of that.

"Clever insults. Did you come up with them yourself? And while I'm glad to know your 'manboobs'- whatever those are- aren't tattooed, you are completely out of line."

Hardison had always known this day would come. But awww hell no was he playing wingman for some chick he didn't even know who just wanted to get into Eliot's pants. There was a Plan for those pants and they certainly didn't involve...whoever this chick was.

"Look, I don't even know you, but believe me my ass is just as hot as his an' you got about an equal chance of seein' one as the other. Now get on outta here, 'fore you embarrass yourself."

"... A foursome? I would let you down on that one, but my fiancee has already been talking about physical compatibility, and if it's you she was talking to, that mostly just makes me even more confused."

...

"Anyway, I think we're choosy about who we share a bed with? I'm not sure, we only did it the one time."

"Relationship troubles? Ain't got troubles on my end. Maybe Master Kenobi--" Yes, he said it in a mimic of Obi-Wan's accent. "--needs to relieve some if that sexual frustration of his. Maybe a nice rentboy fantasy is his speed."

He managed to inject a leer into his tone. It was a talent.

So, life had been doing some weird shit for Sparkle since... since ever, basically, and Sunday had gone unwell for him on several notes. And so Atton was going to be getting a text before Sparkle was gone too long without explanation.

Got stupid drunk last night, said 'fuck this,' and decided to get off the island for a while. Probably won't be gone long. Am fine.

It maybe left out a few details, but really, if Sparkle was cognizant enough to actually type out that many words, odds were it wasn't a dire emergency or anything.

[suitably_heroic]

Atton frowned at his phone anyway.

If I find out you're off setting something on fire again, I'm going to find you and punch you in the head. A lot.

[notconflicted]

Sia was coming off the worst few days, but at least she was back in the palace. So Atton would be getting a rare picture from her, of her insanely happy-looking dog on her bed in a room that absolutely belonged to someone else not long ago, with text that simply read, Finally home.

There, have a good update for once.

[suitably_heroic]

It made him smile, though Atton wasn't about to admit to it. Sia wasn't prone to sentimentality; this hint of it said a lot.

Seems perfect besides the furball, he texted back casually.

See? No admitting anything.

[notconflicted]

Sia figured Atton didn't want to deal with her, and she was trying to give him space. Then a question came up that she couldn't get the answer to anywhere else without being obvious about it, so she was sucking it up to send a text.

When is Sparkle's birthday?

[suitably_heroic]

Atton's instant response... was mostly fueled by paranoia.

Why do you want to know?

Beat.

May 22nd.

Phone Day 2018

[sith_happened]

[OOC: Couldn't resist..]

"I am NOT OLD," Anakin snapped, "And I can fly spaceships despite living on this uncivilized rock, so you can suck up using a little bit of voicemail, okay?"

Christmas Eve morning

[spectre_alenko]

Kaidan had bribed some squirrels. On the morning of Christmas Eve, outside the door to your apartment are two packages. One is addressed to Sparkle, one to Atton. There is no 'from' line.

Atton's package contains fingerless driving gloves. They were black and looked plain enough. Almost weathered. The leather was tough but thin enough that you'd be able to feel your pulse through it. The stitching is so fine the seams are difficult to find.

[notconflicted]

There had been a lot of fighting over it with her team over the last week, but the invitation to come back this weekend was well-timed, so Sia thought she'd send a warning text.

I'll be around this weekend, in case you want to impress me.

[suitably_heroic]

Thought I already do.

He'd be there. Or try to be, mun's vacation pending.

Tabula Rasa

[biotic_psychotic]

"Fuck. Ok. First: If you don't know who you are, your name is Atton Rand but the rest of this won't make any fucking sense to you. If you do know who you are.. Sparkle doesn't know who he is. He's fine, he just doesn't remember a damned thing. I'll keep him out of trouble but if you're somewhere you can call him, you might wanna. You know him better than anyone."

A pause.

"I don't know if it's like the stupid shrinking thing or if it's just him yet. If it's the whole island.. You might wanna skip your shift tomorrow. As much as I'd miss your handsome goddamn face, I'd rather see it when I know you're inside, you know?"

Another pause. "Try not to get fucking shot or anything."

She was bad at this. Jack hung up without bothering to leave her name. If he didn't know who it was.. it wouldn't matter anyway and if he did there was redial.

Re: Tabula Rasa

[suitably_heroic]

Why was the trip back from his universe always so boring? Atton was almost pathetically grateful when the Hawk's systems informed him there was a comm message waiting.

He listened to the whole thing, then pulled a face. "Right, call Jack back," he said, punching a few buttons. "Hey, Jack? Yeah, this is one of those things that just happens some weekends. No reason to get all dramatic, it'll blow over by Monday."

Beat.

"Maybe block the door to the apartment if he's still in there, just in case he's decided he's a serial killer now or something. I'll be back by tomorrow."

Click.

[craftyladyparts]

By the time Jessica was back on the Dauntless, she had heard about Sia. She wasted no time getting whatever information she could, and only a little bit of time before realizing she needed to get that to information out to Atton.

It’s Jessica. Call me ASAP. Sia took a lightsaber through the chest but is alive. She’s not really taking calls right now.

[suitably_heroic]

Yeah, that phone was ringing within five minutes.

Lightsaber to the chest?! That was his shtick!

[notconflicted]

Sia wasn't actually sure Atton would be in Fandom, so, a text was sent when she got in before the weekend.

I'm going to be in town for a bit, in case you also happen to be around.

[suitably_heroic]

Won't be there until Saturday. Will you still be around?
