Beyoncé wouldn't let anything bad happen here

[backtobed]

who the hell is beyonce and
no wait
that's my whole question

[letmetakeaselfie]

[ this time, he's determined to call her and not the other way around. (goddammit pepper.) he dials her number, already memorized, and sits on the edge of the couch as he waits for her to pick up. steve's finally out so now seems like the perfect opportunity. ]

[efficacy]

[ After a long day of dealing with all sort of bullshit at work, Pepper just wants to scream into a pillow. Or maybe have a giant glass of anything alcoholic. Or a pint of ice cream. Whichever came first.

Her phone trills just as she's changed into sweats and flopped listlessly on the couch, and for a moment she's worried it's Killian. Despite all the lingering stress and annoyance, she smiles as she checks the screen and answers with a simple and soft, ]

Hey.

[letmetakeaselfie]

[ ring ring ring ring. it's about noon, maybe twenty after. he's been up a little while now, but now he's drinking coffee freshly showered and waiting for steve to finish making waffles so it seemed the opportune time. when he hears her voice on the other side of the line, he can't help but smile, suffusing his tone with the warmth of it. ] Pepper. ...Happy Sunday.

[efficacy]

[ Pepper's been up since nine, which is kind of late for her. Still, she's already had breakfast, been out and come back, lounging on the couch reading a magazine when the phone rings. Seeing his name on the screen makes a wide smile spread to her lips and she flops to her side on the cushions as she picks up, her voice akin a happy purr as she returns fondly, ] Hey, you. Happy Sunday. Did you sleep well?

[relicta]

a. There's a fine line between kinky and serial killer
b. I'm now using my vagina for good, not evil. Trying to restore balance to the force.
c. I can't sleep. Send Llama pictures.

[rottenindenver]

A. Yeah, but I'm gonna have to keep, yknow looking for it You doing anything later or

[rottenindenver]

B. Not saying it's, uh, evil or whatever, but until your junk opens its own soup kitchen I'm pretty sure it's still just fucking

Not that I'm not a little curious i guess

What was that like a triple negative? I'm looking and idk anymore if that was even a sentence fuck but yeah so how are you "doing good"

[rottenindenver]

C. If llama code 4 craigsliat nudes i can help u im on a couch

Anything elsenpretty drunk, a bit

[letmetakeaselfie]

i. Observations from Vegas: #1. Strippers pasties pose a choking hazard. #2. Best. Heimlich. Ever.
ii. Whoever put the life size cut out of Snoop Dog next to me in bed understands me.
iii. You were more fun when you didn't have morals.

sounds like your vacation is going well

Just wanted to brighten your day, pal. :)

[biggun]

Do you really miss California that much?

[oorah]

[ frank arrives late-ish on christmas eve. late enough that she should be here and early enough that she shouldn't be completely cocked yet. since everyone else seems to disregard her door, he kicks it open rather than knocking, which is more because he has his hands full than actual rudeness. though that is definitely a factor. ]

I brought Chinese. [ since she said eat in... he's not sure if he actually expects her to eat a meal with him like a normal person. there's a red ribbon wrapped around a bottle of whiskey in his other hand so at least he can count on her partaking of one of his gifts. ]

[questionablemethods]

[ Having her door kicked in startles her, but not for long. Jessica is getting used to that bullshit, so she doesn't do much more than look up from her laptop with a bit of an exasperated expression.

That slowly softens when she sees the brown take out bag in one hand, and the ribbon-wrapped bottle in the other.

It's the most thoughtful thing anyone's done for her in a long time, and usually the holidays make her feel like absolute shit. ]

There you are. [ She's been drinking, but that's no surprise. No more than usual, anyway. ] Sit down. Might as well have something to eat since you brought it.

spillover from a million years ago

[letmetakeaselfie]

I'm embarrassing like train wrecks are embarrassing
You know you can't look away

If I held my liquor any better I would be called Iron Liver. Actually, that one was in the running for a while...

[advena]

i usually stop train wrecks
staring at them just seems rude

iron liver is a terrible name, by the way
do you really think you can outdrink me? even my sister can't do that, and she can drink anyone under a table

spillover bc captcha

[oorah]

everyone's always saying that to me but
i keep myself busy

[blindninja]

Feeling up my door and choking on pixie sticks? How do you fit grocery shopping and church into that busy schedule?

[oorah]

you and me both lady.
i'd probably just end up ranting & raving again like the lunatic i am

[oorah]

i have no idea what that means but it sounds insulting
so now i'm offended

[echovocation]

[yeah sorry frank ur getting a call]

I'm not getting your intonation with this text-to-speech thing; are you actually offended? I don't know exactly what it means either but it probably isn't insulting. [hi i'm matt murdock attorney at law i don't say stuff without knowing exactly what it means and yes i was insulting you]

[oorah]

see? at least it's more believable than hitting your face on a fire escape.

no. [ can you hear the grumpy vibes bc they're there???? he's no hero, leave him alone >( ]

[workwife]

Anyone that knows me would believe I hit my face on a fire escape.

[OKay but grumpy is kinda his default setting, isn't it?] Rather be a bully?

iron dad

[morphogenia]

I know this is totally out of the blue, but thanks for always looking out for me. I'm really lucky to have you.

[letmetakeaselfie]

Hey no thanks necessary.

Everything okay? [ he's worried, sure, but it's the easiest way to deflect. even if he will cherish a text message like this one forever. ]

for friday

[oorah]

[ continued from here. oh god he's never had to explain WHY dogs are amazing. they just are. it's common fucking knowledge. friday STop thiS. he has a lot to say so prepare to wait for this response. it also has a tone of VERY IMPORTANT bc doges ]

dogs evolved millions of years ago to be our partners. they are pure and good and don't deserve shitbags like us.
they know who's a good guy and who's a bad guy just by sniffing.
they always come when you call and are always there when you need them.
also their noses are wet and their fur is soft and when you look into their eyes you will know true love.

[accessdata]

[ well that was unexpected. she was just thinking that he like... really liked the flavor???

u m m m . . . ]

oh
we don't keep pets where i'm from

[valuedstrength]

[Frank had made an impression, but the truth is if he hadn't offered his number, he'd probably duck out on this whole affair. He hangs onto it though making it hard to dismiss what happened. Steve ends up replaying what went down in his head. He remembers how it felt to open up to someone. Maybe it's the hour or what has him up so late, but Steve craves that again. He takes out the piece of paper and shoots the other man a simple text around 4 in the morning.]

It's Steve. Are you up?

was this for frank too lmao i have no idea who i am anymore

[oorah]

usually. what's up man?

[blacksky]

Can't drive my car.
