give me back my element
Who: Bonnie and Reggie
Where: Phonelines --> Reggie's apartment
When: Around three
Being given a number to someone called 'BJ' who was supposedly a fire elemental matching the description he had given the guy at the place did not soothe Reggie's nerves. It was maybe another step closer to making everything right again - maybe. Big maybe. So this BJ was a fire elemental and she had not been into work. That did not automatically make her the right BJ. The right one would be as messed up as he was. Or Reggie seriously hoped she was. Not out of a malicious intent or anything, but if she was messed up too then she would want to fix it as bad as he did. Otherwise his dreams really had nothing at all to do with what was going on and he was so screwed that it was not even funny. Should he turn out to be as screwed as that possibility said he would be then Reggie was pretty sure he was going to need to check up on his life insurance and make sure that all the papers granting custody to his parents were up to date because Earth would murder him. Quite possibly while he was sleeping with the window open. The mental image of a tree growing a branch long enough to snake in and strangle him was chilling, but after that morning...
Shivering a little, Reggie held the phone up to his ear and waited none too patiently for it to be answered on the other end. Pick up, goddamn you, I don't want to be stuck like this any more! When the sound of a click echoed across the line he jumped a little. "I'm calling for someone named BJ. The fire elemental. Please don't hang up, I swear I'm not crazy stalker man, I just got your number from where you work because it was the only place anywhere around here who either had a fire elemental or would admit to having one." Reggie remembered to take a breath. None of that really made him sound less crazy. "Okay that doesn't make me sound sane. Maybe I'm not anymore, but I've been having these dreams and oh yeah, shooting fire out of my hands. Earth elementals don't do that."
'I'd hang up on you if I had thumbs to answer the phone, personally.'
