Phone Call Who: Josh Blake and Jen Hill When: Monday night, March 29th 2010 What: Josh finally grows a pair! I mean what?
-ring-
"Hello?"
"Hey, Jen. It's Josh. How's it going?"
-a surprised squeak- "Josh? Hey! Um, good, just tried this weird meditation thing with Lilah... didn't work out so well, I broke a lamp. How 'bout you?"
-small laugh- "You broke a lamp meditating? How... no, I don't think I want to know. I'm good. Building stuff and getting stuff ready for, you know, the thing. Whatever this is we've gotten ourselves into."
"Oh, right, the thing." -a small laugh as well- "Yeah I saw that you were involved... I'm... trying not to think about it too much I guess. Clark keeps telling me that I need to focus on what's not there or some psycho babble like that, I don't know what he's on about. I think Lilah's incense has gotten into his brain somehow."
"Yeah. I mean, they asked me to help and... yeah. Not thinking about it is probably the better choice. Think Lilah would share that incense?"
"Sure she would! She's a total zen monk. Or... she would be if she was a male. Anyway, she's totally generous." -short pause- "You'll be careful, yeah? Whatever it is you're doing for Camelot? This is big time stuff apparently. I'm a little apprehensive about it, but I know it's the right thing to do."
"I'm trying to stay to the sidelines a bit. Doing tech support. This is the big one, I guess. I'll be careful if you will? With whatever it is you end up doing." -throat clearing- "It's got me thinking actually. You know, about things I should do, or want to do."
"Hey, I've got super strength on my side. I'll be fine! Plus Lilah will be with me in there. You really can't get more baddass than the Phoenix. But, we do have that pact you know so if you'll be careful I'll be careful and vice versa...." -trails off- "Oh? Like what?"
"Like, um... Sorry, I know my timing really sucks, and you probably have other, uh, stuff going on... I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go out sometime?"
-very long pause- ".................. Wait, wha- ......... Are you sure you called the right Jen?"
-brief confused pause, awkward laugh- "If I didn't this is really awkward. I'm pretty sure I've got the right Jen though. I don't know a lot of girls with super strength and pacts with me to stay out of too much danger."
-laughs softly that comes out more as a stutter- "Oh, well, I guess that makes sense then." -pauses, a softer tone of voice- "... Really?"
"Really. I was thinking we could catch a movie or something? Before we go off playing superheroes again?"
"I'd... really like that, Josh. Yeah, I'd love too!"
"Really?" -cough- "I mean, that's great. That's really great! Are you free Wednesday night?"
-laughs- "Even if I wasn't, I think I'd cancel almost anything for this, short of some brand of peril-" -short pause, awkwardly placed cough- "I mean, yes, I'm free Wednesday!"
