Call to Lex C.
[At the number he's got for her, and let's hope it's a cell phone. Ring?]

	[Cell phone, only phone--she answers between the second and third ring, as she is wont to do.] Lex Campbell. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	[Ford is used to calling his sister and generally expects her to wait around while he tears up words, so he doesn't hesitate. He's obviously agitated because the mess of syllables always gets more tangled when he's agitated. The question comes out more like a demand.] Wuh-w-w-where-where are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ford has likely never--or rarely--been given reason to expect anything else of Lex, who settles her phone between her shoulder and ear and waits him out out automatically, who ported her old number to a smartphone ages ago so he'd never call a disconnected line.] Chinatown. How are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Willingly. Ford doesn't hide things. With a scowl.] Dgjjj-job market here s-s-su-sucks. Wh-why you let-l-l-let-letting him t-t-talk about you like that? [As if there's any question who he's calling about.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She hears only slightly less about how elusive work is than any given bartender--and that's more due to a lower volume of clients than anything else.] Job market sucks everywhere. 'Cause it's just words, baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofagun 2013-04-06 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Scoffing sound. Ford uses a lot of such sounds in the place of prolonged sentences. Words are just bookends.] He m-m-mean-means it. [With anger and dislike and disappointment.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-06 08:33 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, maybe. [She doesn't sound particularly moved by the thought.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Puzzled and annoyed.] S-s-sso? Why t-t-talk-talk to him? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-06 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	He'll probably get over it. [Wry.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who k-k-ka-cares if he d-does? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Me. How'd you two meet up, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	G-g-got that pic. [Pause, breathe.] P-P-picture. Looks Dg-j-j-just like'im. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[There weren't enough pictures to make 'that picture' at all ambiguous.] Oh, right--god, that thing's ancient. Good eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My dad must've been a midget, the way you two turned out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Ah, solid ground. Ford's made all kinds of theories about their respective fathers. His favorite is definitely George Clooney. Smile.] Must buhb-b-be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-06 09:34 pm UTC (link)
	[Lex doesn't have theories about their fathers. She uses them the way one might use God in a joke--like she might use anything else that doesn't matter. Dramatic sigh.] No fair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[A short laugh. No stuttering required. Then, sobering slightly:] You really d-don-don't k-keh-care? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not saying I don't wish it was different--but it being this way don't fuss me much. Bothers you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Tap of the metal payphone change on the box.] Wh-wh-what is so fucking awful about n-no-knowing we'exist? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-07 12:36 am UTC (link)
	[It's--not quite a sigh. A heavy exhale.] Fucked if I know--but it's gotta be weird to have us both pop up at once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Irritated growl. Of course, poor Russell. Gruffly.] S-ss-see you, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sharp.] I didn't say that he wasn't wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pausing. Smooth:] Wrong about what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-07 12:55 am UTC (link)
	About being a fucking asshole. You free for lunch tomorrow? [If she feels like she's playing the mother hen or the shrew, nagging at them both until each lets her pin him down for a meal or at least a drink, it doesn't show in her tone at all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sonofagun 2013-04-07 01:01 am UTC (link)
	[Ford is not difficult in that way, fortunately. As long as his mother isn't involved. Relatively agreeable, a sound of agreement easier than 'okay.] After wuh-one? I work in the m-m-morn-morning. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tattooist 2013-04-07 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Cool. [Conveniently, if Lex is involved Lou would surely be excluded, even if she was in the area. She is pleased, and it shows.] Call me when you get out and we'll go from there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Affirmative sounds again. He's strong with that sound, deliberate, because it has no form and it's easier than the traditional. He uses it as a farewell, too, and hangs up. The coin rattles in the slot, the call disconnects.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
