[ Sometimes your bike breaks down and a friend passes along a name of a trustworthy guy but you're too busy chasing your mannequin all the way across town to actually do anything with said recommendation.

Which is to say, two weeks after he actually means to, Wriothesley finally gets around to firing off a text message. ]

Is this Scott Summers?

[opticular]

[ The random text doesn't really surprise Scott one bit, since he has given his number to a couple of other fluxdrifts he has met here. So, it doesn't take a few minutes before Wriothesley receives a reply. ]

This is him. Can I help you?

[frostfist]

I got your name from a friend of mine.
Her name's Lucina.
My motorcycle broke down awhile ago and she suggested you as someone who might be able to take a look at it.

[opticular]

Yeah, I know Lucina. [ So this person is the friend she mentioned. ]

I'd be happy to repair your motorcycle. Just let me know when and where I can take a look at it.

[valle]

I told him. You don't have to worry about it anymore.

[opticular]

[ The reply comes after almost 36 hours. And it's a very brief: ]

Good.

[ Normally, Scott's replies come within a minute of receiving the text. But, in this state he's in, there are days where he'll (either accidentally or intentionally) leave his phone in his unit. ]

[valle]

( It's the amount of time it takes him to respond that concerns her. She doesn't know him very well, but he seems like the type that texts back quickly.

Doesn't hurt to ask. )

Everything okay?
You didn't catch any flack because of me, did you?

[opticular]

[ It takes another 8 hours before the reply comes in. Sorry, Laura. ]

No, I didn't. Everything's fine.

[thetruefocus]

Scott, I'm checking in. It's fine if you ignore me, but if you could let one of us know that you aren't drowning in a pool of liquor, we would appreciate it.

[opticular]

[ The reply comes after 7 hours. ]

I'm fine.

[ He's, in fact, drowning in a pool of liquor. ]

[thetruefocus]

Have you been eating? Can I bring you food?

[opticular]

[ It takes thirty minutes for his reply to come through. ]

No need. I'm good.

[ He hasn't been eating a lot, admittedly. Probably only two meals a day. The rest is just booze and fighting his ass off at the Dome. ]

How is this the hard part?]

it's cable.

thought i should check in.

[opticular]

[ The reply comes after 2 hours, sorry Cable. ]

I'm fine. Thanks.

Sorry for that night, by the way.

[sodark]

you could make it up to me by meeting me for a drink and not throwing up on me.

hello how are you

( ok wanda )

[opticular]

[ Fortunately for Wanda he's quicker to reply now than he did a month ago. Still a bit surprising to hear from her, though, after their encounter in the Fringes. ]

I'm good, all things considered.

You?

[carmesi]

just checking to see if i'm still in '' i'm disappointed in you '' territory or in warmer territory now

( she knows what she did, and is doing, currently. )

around december.

[carcajous]

You still at that junkyard?

[opticular]

[ Well, there's a surprise. ]

I am. Why?

[carcajous]

Got a job for you.

early december

[thetruefocus]

Scott, there's something I think we should talk about, when you have a moment.

[opticular]

Of course, Professor. What is it?

Do you want to talk in person or through a call?

[thetruefocus]

It should be in person. Perhaps when you get off your shift? I can come by.

Left outside his door on Christmas morning

[mississippis]

[ Left outside his door on Christmas morning. She's been doing a lot of knitting when it gets slow while working overnight shifts in the diner. She's managed to get her hands on some green, shiny paper to wrap a hand knitted, whimsical holder for his ruby quartz glasses.

It comes with a box of homemade Christmas cookies.

Attached is a brief note: ]

Merry Christmas!

-Rogue

P.S.: it's to put your glasses on.

[ The last is hastily tacked on like it occurred to her he's not going to have any idea what it is. ]
