VOICEMAIL

[enjoymyatelier]

"...well, I suppose it's about time I make one of these things...

Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Lord Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. I am unable to answer at this time due to some other business I have to attend to, but state your purpose and I'll get back to you whenever I find the time."

[I'm cool with any sort of one-on-one stuff going on here so long as it starts with a voicemail! Obviously we'll need to plan if our characters are in the same area or not if we want to switch to action, but you know!]

Yes, we were. She's someone from my world... well, she was one of the few left, honestly.

I have never been one for parties.

[ All the spaces to make it clear the last part was about the parties.

It's fine. If I'm returned to my world and I encounter her, we'll certainly be enemies, so I didn't get terribly attached.

[...and yet he still feels bummed.]

Well, I'm sure it was extremely difficult to figure out.

[timelymaid]

still
if you ever want to talk about it im around

yes
all signs clearly pointed to you liking parties
so i am shocked

[enjoymyatelier]

I appreciate the offer, at least.

It was just a cunning ruse, actually. I certainly had you fooled, didn't I?

text;

[timelymaid]

you really did
and here i was thinking youd enjoy an invite to a christmas party or something similar

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I could potentially handle a sedate affair, I suppose, provided it didn't involve too much travel and I wasn't expected to wear any sort of ridiculous outfit.

[timelymaid]

okay i have to admit i cant really promise anything involving my friends would be sedate
weve already made a pretty ridiculous gingerbread village
and the decorations are pretty intense

[enjoymyatelier]

A gingerbread village? Well, I'll admit I'm a bit curious about that, particularly in terms of how you actually plan to eat all of that. Perhaps just... take a few pictures so I can satisfy my curiosity, I suppose.

[timelymaid]

oh sure
hang on

[ There is indeed a huge gingerbread village spanning the entire length and width of John and Rose's kitchen table. This thing has had an incredible amount of work gone into it, clearly.

...There also appears to be some sort of gingerbread godzilla, and several decimated houses and a few gingerbread people missing limbs. There is decorative red frosting as blood for their wounds.

...

The Homestucks are questionable people, as a group. ]

[enjoymyatelier]

[...it sure is...]

My word. Well, good luck with that.

text;

[timelymaid]

[ You're so lucky. ]

thanks!
its too bad you wont get to see it in person but maybe next year

text;

[enjoymyatelier]

Perhaps you'll have to go with a different theme next year, then, just to keep things fresh.

[...something not horribly bizarre, for one.]

text;

[timelymaid]

oh youre right!
ill suggest it to the others for sure

text;

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, I look forward to seeing those, at least. Perhaps I'll see them in person next year.

[if they're not fucking weird]

text;

[timelymaid]

[ spoilers, they will be fucking weird. ]

i should let you go then!!
but i will hold you to that :)
