[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.

[enigmaestro]

You submitted to it.

[bringerofwar]

How fucking long have you waited to phrase something like that, exactly?

[enigmaestro]

Surprisingly not very long. We are talking about you here, after all.

[bringerofwar]

True. You do seem to have a fixation.

[enigmaestro]

I think you simply like to think that I do.

[bringerofwar]

Oh yeah. I just can't resist that idea.

[enigmaestro]

I wish you could resist sarcasm.

[bringerofwar]

Never.
