IC Contact Post - Scorched

[justice_is_blond]

[It clicks on and there's a pause.]

And now... Hello? I'm assuming you're trying to reach me. By the Forge. So you talk now, or not now, you talk when I'm done talking, and then I'll get the message and I'll respond as quickly as possible.

[There's another pause.]

Oh! Anders. I'm Anders. You have reached Anders, please leave a message for me.

[There's another click as the message ends.]

Upsetting. Says the one who wants to carve me open.

[barebacking]

It's natural. It makes me happy.

Hm. I should stop talking...

[justice_is_blond]

You should stop wanting to cut me open.

[barebacking]

I can try.

[justice_is_blond]

There's the first good news I've heard all day.

[barebacking]

I would think all this honesty would be good for you.

[justice_is_blond]

...Why would you think that?

[barebacking]

Because it seems like there are a lot of liars around you.

[justice_is_blond]

No. There's honesty, and then there are some things that shouldn't be said. Not saying them doesn't make someone a liar.

[barebacking]

Then, I'm never a liar.

[justice_is_blond]

No. You are a liar, because you twist words until they practically scream. You mislead deliberately. That's being a liar.

[barebacking]

I really like the way that you said it... it sounds dirty.

[justice_is_blond]

It wasn't meant like that; I tend to save that sort of talking for Tony nowadays.

[barebacking]

Of course.

Well... before I become too belligerent, I should go.

[justice_is_blond]

I like the sound of that. Do go.

[barebacking]

[ HISS.

Disconnect. ]

[iattractmushi]

...thanks, Anders. For helping me out and... everything.

[Voice] - Three days after (aka, 8th)

[justice_is_blond]

[His voice is on the tired side, but warm nonetheless.]

You're welcome. Thanks for being one of the ones who didn't shoot me or punch me or kick me in the shins.

[ahem]

Metal pyjamas are red
Arc reactors are blue
You're not as hot as I am
But I guess you'll have to do.


.... so, you tired of human world holidays yet?

voice

[justice_is_blond]

[Hear that, Tony? It's the sound of a raised eyebrow. And also amusement, but mostly raised eyebrow.]

...Your world has a holiday for bad poetry that calls the recipient not as attractive as the giver and no one thought to tell me?

[dublinbrogue]

[ Its a few days late since he's only just got his forge back.]

Anders bud, are you okay man? I'm back now, if you need or want someone to talk too. You didn't exactly sound like you were okay. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.

[ Added low before cutting the call off.]

And thanks for carin' man. You're a good friend.

[Voice]

[justice_is_blond]

Hm?

[It dawns on him what this is likely about a few minutes later.]

Right. Sorry. No, it's fine, Doyle. You were... occupied. Obviously. I'm doing better now. It was... It was a bit of a rough evening. But thank you. I'm fine. And you're welcome.

[The fine might be entirely a lie, but Anders is used to giving it.]

[Voice]

[dublinbrogue]

[ Doyle doesn't exactly believe Anders when he hears that but he doesn't want to push. Well not directly.] You busy later this week? I think it be high time we have drinks and catch up man. It's been a great while.

[Voice]

[justice_is_blond]

A drink, for me, just one. I'm trying to not repeat what I did the other night. But... This sounds like a good plan, Doyle.

[Voice]

[dublinbrogue]

We'll see about one drink man. I promise nothin' but let me know when your free and we will get it set up.
