002 | accidental voice

[There's a dull thud as the comm falls to the floor and turns on. At first there's only a background noise of voices too low to hear. A television playing in the background.]

And Midnighter, that one is Damon, Stefen's younger brother. He's the "bad vampire" with the attitude that all the girls fall for. But he's secretly a good guy deep down. Sound familiar?

[Just. A suspiciously pained sigh.] I'm pretty sure this is considered torture in at least five states.

[He gets a laugh is response.]Oh stop being such a drama queen. We're only a couple of seasons behind. We'll catch up in no time.

[Even more dramatic this time:] Oh god. I thought you loved me. [beat] ... You are kidding, right? Apollo?

The show is in it's third season, this is only the first. Didn't I mention that? [Pause.] Must have slipped my mind.

You did it on purpose, you ass. [Grumpy muttering, followed by a bit of fabric rustling.] We're not watching all of that tonight.

So it's my fault I have to trick you into watching TV with me?[A click is heard as the TV is turned off.] Fine. But tomorrow we're picking up right where we left off.

There are no words for how much I wish I could still get drunk. [Suspicious pause, now that the TV isn't making noise anymore:] Do you hear that? Someone's phone is on. [Beat.] Oh, come on.

Of course we have beers. It's like you don't know me at all.

[megalopolitan]

More like I do, and if you were making Midnighter watch the Vampire Diaries, I was questioning whether you'd have any left!

[solar_absorber]

I have a stash hidden, don't worry about it. Feel free to bring your own if you want.

[bringerofwar]

What? Where?

[solar_absorber]

Not anywhere you'd think to look.

Now be nice and make sure you save some for Jack.

[bringerofwar]

No way, he gets to watch shit he gets off on, and I have to watch some annoying teenager and two vampires angst in high school? One of us should have beer to get through it, and it's not him.

[solar_absorber]

The whole reason I'm inviting him is to give you a break. You've done your time, go find a mugger to beat the crap out of or something.

You have my blessing.

[bringerofwar]

[oh]

... Have I told you yet today how much I love you?

[solar_absorber]

Hmm...I don't think so.

But then again, you were too busy funneling beer and complaining about my taste in TV.

Still nice to hear though.

[bringerofwar]

Yeah, yeah. I still think it's crap, by the way.

[solar_absorber]

Dully noted. Not go kill something before you get any moodier.

[megalopolitan]

[ A note. It's a very 'like I'm going to buy something with my broke ass' type of note. ]

I suppose I can come over, then.

[solar_absorber]

Great, we'll be here.
