♡ Call 008 [video; May 30, early afternoon]

Luck is just not on my side with these guys.

[Cupid is examining a smoke-covered wall beneath a broken window in her apartment, expression set into a frown that she's trying very hard to keep from becoming a pout. She gives her mirror a strained smile and settles a hand on her hip with a sigh.]

I hate to see it, but I don't think the show is that great an idea this week, all things considered. Maybe next week, huh? That said, please remember that my private inbox is always open just in case.

[She pauses a second, then smiles wryly, running her fingers through her bangs idly.]

Also- um... Joshua, wasn't it? I guess they were paying more attention than we thought, huh?

[A sigh and she turns her attention to the rest of her apartment.]

If anyone needs me, I'm pretty sure I'm not going anywhere for a while.




[Jack]

...hey. How would you feel about taking our date outside the city?

Higher up might work best, but you're in deeper shit if a fire breaks out.

[He sighed, looked grumpy.]

Got a couple of busted windows. Just washed the gasoline smell outta the carpet. Was drivin' the cat crazy.

Figures those assholes'd hit us while we're out, but it ain't like we can just stay home all the time to watch the damn city!

Well- even the second or third floor might be better. It'd be a little safer, at the very least.

[Cupid frowns along with him, though she doesn't manage to look quite as grumpy.]

Ugh, that's terrible! Need help with anything?

[She pauses at the last bit, hesitates, and then observes-]


...it's a little worrisome that they knew what day we'd be out of the city though.

Do whatcha gotta. If ya need help moving, I could do some heavy lifting. ...We're fine, though. S'just a matter of blockin' the window with somethin' until the glass guys come in to replace 'em. Gets pretty damn cold at night... with an 'open' window like that? Goin' to sleep at night sucks.

[But he furrowed an eyebrow at that last part.]

Yeah... I mean, we don't really run through the streets screamin' about goin' out on a big mission.

[He rubbed his head.]

Then again, if a lot of us weren't out, there'd be a helluva lot more injuries, people stuck in their apartments with no way out.

...Or somebody ratted us out.

Thanks a lot- I'll let you know if I need any help with moving- and I know sort of what you mean. I bet it's a lot like sleeping at
Jack's place.

[She nods when Kanji follows her line of reasoning, expression somewhat grim.]

Exactly. It's a bit suspicious, is all I'm saying.
