Jack changed his message in the middle of December 2011.

"Hello, this is Jack. I'm currently traveling and can't reach my phone. Leave a message and I'll return it when I can, or you may want to send a telegram or letter. No, I'm not joking. Good day."

"Hi! It's Ino, you might or might not know me, but that's totally not the important thing—tomorrow night there's going to be a party, 'cause Elena and I thought it'd be a good idea, at Caritas, yes the bar, in the backroom for a marathon covering what, exactly, the cabins are named after and then deciding which is the best. Drinking games are totally encouraged! If you want to come, congrats, you're a judge for your cabin! Let me know, okay? Thanks!"

[On an OOC note, please do let me know if you can/can't make it so I can get someone else from your cabin to be a judge.]

Jack dialed back. "Hello, it's Jack. Priest. I can do it, but are you sure you called the right person? We've never met."

[OOCly I would love to.]

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

Priest. Rose has awakened and is apparently unharmed.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose was throwing shirts into a bag as she called Jack. "I got a letter from St Vlad's today so I'm flying back. This afternoon, I guess. I'd come find you, but the taxi is supposed to pick me up at the causeway in like 30 minutes. So -" there was a long pause as Rose tried to figured out what to say. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do. And I have my phone so call me sometime. Bye."

I--uh--think perhaps you have the wrong fellow? Arthur would kill me.

"Well, all right, I'm very sorry that Emma doesn't like girls and, therefore, doesn't like you. Perhaps you can recover in some other way?"

"Greeting, law-abiding citizen! I think you have me confused with someone else. I've certainly never accused you of degrading crimes involving members of the citrus family. I'm sure you treat all of your fruit with the consideration and respect they individually deserve. In closing, take care of your vitamin C, and it will take care of you."

It's Mitchell's number but George's voice that meets Jack's voicemail.

"I'm sorry?"

There is an unnaturally long silence.

"...There wasn't a bit of that sentence I understood. Can anyone, you know. See you?"

A shorter silence.

"We have to put a stop to this," George announced, "He doesn't understand. These people are British. You're not allowed to talk to your neighbours until you've nodded at them for fifteen years. Just look at them. This must be absolutely terrifying--"

Beep. Message ends.

A few moments later...

"I think Mitchell has completely lost the plot," George hissed. "Just take him back, will you, before he invites the entire neighbourhood over to the attic for a disco party or whatever people from the States do when they come here and go absolutely off their rockers."

Beep.

[auntie-vida.livejournal.com]

Special delivery!

[icecoldfrost]

"It's me, darling. I'm going off on an adventure with Sookie tomorrow, and I'll be back later this week. Promise."

[glacial_queen]

Fine. If she wanted to be like that, it was just fine. Karla was going to see if Jack was as effective at fussing over long distances as Morton was.

"Jack, you call her up and you tell her right now that she's being a hard-headed idiot and that if she keeps pushing herself just because she can, she's going to end up damaging something permanently!"

Pssht! As if names were necessary! Jack was a detective, he could figure that part out.

"And if she does, I'm just going to stand there and say 'I told you so' and drink good alcohol and not offer to share! While wearing a hemline to my ankles!" At least Karla sounded aggravated and grumpy, just not genuinely furious or frightened. That's...like a comfort, right?

[bitten_notshy]

Jack dialed back in an instant.

"Karla," he half-ordered. "Speak English. Slowly. What did Emma do and what does it have to do with how long your skirts are?"

He was, it turned out, rather good at long-distance fussing.

[chosehumanity]

"Hey, Jack. I ran the little bastard off. Should be the back of him for a while."

Click.

Phoooooooooooones!

[icecoldfrost]

[Blame her.]

"Darling, if I was doing any dirty touching with Karla, I would think I'd have mentioned it before now. But I'm not - not that it's any of your business - although I'm not sure why your feelings would be hurt. Is that some sort of hint? You know telepathy doesn't work over the phone."

Re: Phoooooooooooones!

[bitten_notshy]

[Went here. Ow.]

Text from Emma

[icecoldfrost]

Don't laugh, darling, but I seem to have gotten myself a job at a nightclub. I am gainfully employed and an upright citizen. Or something. Hope classes are going well. ~ E

[icecoldfrost]

A text message beeped its way into Jack's phone, from a familiar source:

would you do me the honor of being my escort to homecoming, mr. priest?

[bitten_notshy]

Jack blinked at his phone, surprised. As he'd told Karla, he was considering a boycott of the island. But if Emma was asking, and given how much trouble he'd caused by not asking her last year...

It would be an honor, he texted back. wasn't going to come in until Sunday, but for you I'll even brave the dance.

TELEGRAMS/LETTERS/ETC.

[bitten_notshy]

For any correspondence posted while Jack is a hundred years away from his phone.

Re: TELEGRAMS/LETTERS/ETC.

[glacial_queen]

It had taken Karla a few days to find the telegraph office in town, but she finally had by Tuesday, which meant that she could send off a message to Jack.

I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO FLING YOURSELF INTO DANGER BECAUSE YOU HAVE A DUTY TO OTHERS STOP NO MATTER WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS OR WHAT HAPPENS, I THINK YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT STOP PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW YOU'RE DOING WHEN YOU CAN STOP THIS METHOD OF COMMUNICATION IS RIDICULOUS STOP

[justlurkinghere]

"There's a talking wolf in my house."

Well. At least Derek was very concise in his message leaving?

[justlurkinghere]

"Jack, it's Laura," Derek said. "She's dead."

He went silent for a long moment.

"I need your help. Come to Beacon Hills."

An address was given before he cut the call off without anything more added to that.

[icecoldfrost]

Jack was going to get a text:

At Caritas, care to join me?

Emma was mean.

Delivered to Jack's House, 2/14/2013

[icecoldfrost]

One bottle of Courvoisier L’Esprit cognac, with a note:

Don't ask how I got it, and be sure to share.

xoxo

"In my defense, he looked really hungry at the time!"

Poor Atton. His voicemail was getting all cut to pieces.

[[ crazy phones, la. ]]

[bitten_notshy]

Went here!

[not_a_whiner]

[[ from here ]]

excuse me? have you been spying on my private life?

Not that he had any make-out pictures, but still. WTF?

[bitten_notshy]

Unfortunately, Jack had just tried to reach Kaidan. So his reply was a bit miffed.

Crazy phones la

Crazy Phone Day(s)!

[justonecondition]

This particular message was the one that Bruce took the longest time responding to, because honestly, it was horrible.

"Miss Romanoff, if that was you, I--" Big exhale. "I'm not planning on transforming again. It isn't-- voluntary, and I'm not-- I'm sorry."

Re: Crazy Phone Day(s)!

[bitten_notshy]

Went here.

Crazy phones!

"Wow. Flattering as this is, I think I'll have to pass on whatever freaky lingerie stuff you two get up to. Just--leave a freakin sock on the door or something."

Re: Crazy phones!

[bitten_notshy]

Went here and here.

Karla had laughed good and hard before she'd responded, assuming that Ender had just hit the wrong number on speed dial. So, ever helpful, she decided to call him back and let him know he hadn't gotten Ben.

"Hey sexy," she breathed. "I can use my imagination to guess just what kind of supplies you want me to pick up from the store, or you could call me back. Let's get that yurt restocked, shall we?"

And then hung up again, cackling.
