3-choo! (now with real sneezing!)

Phone

Everybody, I got my rune back in the mail today! I can use it to send you places, so if anybody ever wants help going somewhere you can just ask me! Then school and work and the ice cream place won't seem so far away anymore, if you think they're far away. Oh, also I---ah......ah.....ah.........

[a long moment of silence.]

....ah-choo!!

[This is followed by the sound of someone dropping the telephone! and then failing to hang up. Oops?]

Action;everywhere

[Hello Mayfield. How's life today? Are you at home? At work? School? Going shopping, maybe? Wherever you are, there is now also a Viki. She might even have landed on you! Don't worry though, she's not hurt!

Feel free to run into her wherever, whenever, however! Hope she doesn't embarrass you.]

Miss Viki, is this true? Is that what happened?

[waffuport]

Hm?--Oh, yes, I got my rune back! That's right.

[And now she is smiling again.]

Wow Caesar, you're really smart!

[commentboxtroll]

...it's kind of obvious.

[Oh Viki. Well. Hopefully that's enough to clear his name, even if she never actually answered Virginia's question.]

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Wait, she's just giving an answer you fed her!

[waffuport]

I am? But I did get my rune back...I tried to tell everybody with the phone, but then I sneezed.

[commentboxtroll]

I don't need to feed her answers! The Blinking Rune is used for teleportation and that's the rune she has. That she's here at all is by accident! Is that really so hard for you to believe?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Well... Alright.

I'm sorry for misunderstanding, Caesar.

[waffuport]

[Looking back and forth between you two...back...forth...wait...]

...Does that mean everyone's okay now?

[commentboxtroll]

Yes, it should be fine now. [He glances from Ginny to Viki for a second, then back again.] I don't see how you could even think that's what was going on. It's Viki...

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Hey, she's a pretty girl and you're a teenage boy. It's not exactly a bold assumption.

[waffuport]

Oh wow, you think I'm pretty? You're really pretty too, you know!

[She pauses for a moment, looking at Caesar....nah. Have a smile, Ginny!]

[commentboxtroll]

You think she's...

[Again, he looks between the two of them, before rolling his eyes and finding some other part of the room to pay attention to.

No further comment.]

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

What?

You don't agree?

[waffuport]

Maybe Caesar wants to be pretty too?

[commentboxtroll]

[There is a trap in that question. He just knows it.]

On which count? [Caesar used evade! And can't help but give Viki a look of over-exaggerated suffering.] No, no thanks. I can do without a makeover...

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Just answer the question, Caesar.

[waffuport]

There's counts?

[commentboxtroll]

Fine. She's pretty and you're a rude eavesdropper.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Alright, alright. Here's your laundry. Miss Viki, make sure he folds that and puts it away properly, alright?

-She chuckles a bit to herself before exiting the room.-

[waffuport]

Okay!

[And once she's gone--]

Come on Caesar, you've got to fold your laundry!

[commentboxtroll]

[Caesar frowns at the door long after she's gone, then flops back down across the bed.]

...what a weirdo... hm. The laundry can wait. It isn't going to go anywhere if I leave it be.

[Translation: those clothes are never getting put away.]

[waffuport]

Really? You're sure?

[This sounds like a valid excuse but--]

What if your mom comes in and sees it's not folded?

[commentboxtroll]

I'm sure. [The most sure.] Virginia isn't my mother. She has no control over what does and doesn't happen to the state of this room.

[Which surely explains the clutter.]

[waffuport]

Really? I've never met your mother before. Is that why your room's so messy?

[Taking this opportunity to poke around at your stuff.]

[commentboxtroll]

Yes. Really. She's too young to be my mother...

[He sits up again to watch Viki. What is she even doing? There isn't a whole lot of interest in the room. All the offending things from the previous drone occupant -- like the many sweater vests -- have been stuffed far back into the closet. The rest is just half-finished books and so many papers.]

No. It's messy because I don't bother with keeping it tidy.
