Overland Park, KS, Sunday FT

[vanillajello]

It was a morning in early January in Kansas, and Kate was awake but hadn't accomplished much past rolling onto her back to look at the ceiling of her parents' bedroom. (Or, as it had been for a couple of months, hers and Bod's.) Awake enough to have thoughts whirring in her head but not enough to actually bother getting out of bed. She'd get to that. She had work, later, and all. But she was thinking right now.

They had about a month to go before her parents would be coming back. The news from Boston seemed to be positive, most of the time. It was hard, too, of course it was, but her mom seemed to think she was making some sort of progress and while Kate was naturally wary of getting too optimistic, it was still pretty nice to hear.

But that wasn't really what she was thinking about. Her thoughts were more centred around what would happen once her parents got back. You know, with their general living situation. Even with how annoying paying the bills was, she'd kind of gotten used to just having the house for the three of them.

Hmm.

[ooc: NFB, naturally, but open for calls/texts, and that guy that lives here.]

Jack thought he had sent Kate his new address, but on reflection it seemed more and more like one of those things he meant to do, thought about doing, but never actually did.

Either way, it was past time to check in with her. So here he was, sitting in Ronan's kitchen with a cup of coffee in one hand and dialing the phone with the other.

Ring ring, Kate.

[OOC: I know this is incredibly tardy. SP?]

[vanillajello]

Oooh, Kate was popular today. And rather quicker to pick up this call than the last.

"'Sup, Jack?"

Because that was the way to greet your favorite Victorian.

[*noms on your SP like it's cake* The word "tardy" always makes me think of Clueless. /random ESL person moment]

"Nothing too big," Jack answered, having considered not much just chillin and decided he couldn't actually say it without laughing. "I'm in Ronan's kitchen, trying to decide if I want breakfast enough to go to the trouble of making it. How are you?"

[vanillajello]

"Pretty good," Kate said. "It's 2012 here, finally, and that's pretty nice. Luke came over for Christmas but other than that, we're still holding down the fort with just me, Bod and Moosh."

[bitten_notshy]

"That sounds all cozy," Jack noted. "Even if it's still odd you're the one in the past now. I'm staying with Roman and Emma. It's pleasant, having house housemates."

[vanillajello]

"So... you're in Fandom right now, hm?"

She wasn't sure if she should have known that before know. It was hard to keep track when time was wonky and she had a lot of stuff going on.

"How's Fandom? Treating you okay?"

[bitten_notshy]

"Quiet so far," Jack said, with a shrug that showed in his tone. "I'm helping Eric at Devil's Nest. Paperwork, not bartending this time."

[vanillajello]

"Oooh, club paperwork, how exciting," Kate teased, lightly. "Ugh, we should get off our asses and visit already."

[bitten_notshy]

"it's less dull than answering phones," Jack shuddered. "And you should. Especially because Emma's been wanting to have a solstice party, which would be this Wednesday our time."

[vanillajello]

"Oh?" Well, that sounded promising. "I might have to make Moosh do some math for me about how that works out over here. We're almost at the same pace as you guys, but it's still a little wonky."

And almost six months behind, but anyway.

[bitten_notshy]

"I wonder if you'll ever go through six months overnight just to keep us all on our toes," Jack wondered. "Anyhow, if the portals make sense, you're all welcome. If the portals don't make sense ... well, Kansas didn't eat me last time I visited."
