The House Called Honolulu Heights, Barry Island, Monday Morning

George sat at the breakfast table with an untouched cup of tea, doing what he had been doing for most of last week... nothing, staring at the walls, trying not cry.

All right, so during the full moon things had gotten a bit... interesting... between him and Nina, so that had broken up the staring somewhat, but... that had only lasted so long. So now he sat here, and nursed his tea, and barely met Nina's eyes the few times she tried to get to him.

Then the door behind him opened, thudding against the wall, and he jerked up. Oh god-- would it be Mitchell and Annie? Were they back?

Some of the hope fled him as he looked: it was Mitchell, alive-- well, undead-- and well, thank god, but no sign of Annie.

No sign of Annie.

He couldn't deal with it any longer. The tears wrestled their way out and he sobbed out loud; no doubt he looked as ugly as he felt.

... and then the sound of tea clattering into his mug pulled him out of it. He looked up and stared directly into Annie's face, and her smile, god-- George hurled himself at her, hugging her tight, as behind him Nina did the same to Mitchell.

Mitchell-- pulled out his phone, and texted a quick, We're back!!! to the people who'd care. Then the three of them took Annie and dragged her from room to room, showing off their new home, and celebrating the return of a friend.

Kate was woken up pretty much in the middle of the night by that text. She didn't mind that so much, though, after she'd fumbled the phone into her hand from the nightstand while trying to keep from jostling Bod too badly, and then blearily read the text.

Suddenly she was wide awake.

both?!
vanillajello: (Pretty and knows it.)

omg

Well, you try finding better words for joy when you're barely sure it's not all a cruel dream.

omg how is she? give her a hug for me. omg housewarming yes.
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

AWESOME

Oh hey, someone found the caps.

Bod and everyone else in the house should've counted themselves lucky she wasn't waking them up by squeeing out loud yet.

i'm so happy srsly
vanillajello: (Smiling sideways.)

rum? RUM

Legal drinking age be damned.

if jack comes we need to find out how to make poison green rum drinks from bahamas.
vanillajello: (All amused at you.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2012-02-13 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
then it's a date.

Or a weird sort-if family reunion. With booze!

many many many hugs to annie. <3
vanillajello: (Sitting and looking to the left.)

i'll ask. but you'll deff be seeing me at least. no more heroics in the meantime, i forbid it.

Jack was still in New York. It turned out that three nights spent in a sewer eating rats did not increase his motivation to get back to London and find a job. This was fine, for now.

That mattered less when he read the text.

Amazing! Congratulations. Both in one piece?

The question was ... not entirely flippant.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] hood up)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-02-13 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
maybe this time it'll last!

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Though Jack must have realized he just doomed them, because:

i really shouldnt say things like that. but i am happy for you both. how was it?
bitten_notshy: ([pos] grinning in B&W)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-02-13 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
of course.

Really, that one would have been a no-brainer even if it hadn't been a step toward being back on the right side of the Atlantic.

hug annie for me.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] vaguely bemused)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-02-13 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Jack frowned at the phone without comprehension for a minute, then:

oh, right! so i definitely need to come.

Seeing her again counted as a benefit for Jack, at least.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] lazy)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-02-13 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
WE SHOULD. green rum drinks are magical things, Jack had to agree. also remind me of bahamas. match hotel's theme.

All tropical places were pretty much the same, right?
bitten_notshy: ([pos] laughing like a dork)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2012-02-13 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
umbrellas + maybe some silk leis, Jack promised. anything else she wants?

Coming back to life -- or unlife -- would have that effect, wouldn't it?

then great, see you soon!

About frickin time!!! You OK?

Bo may have left a few messages for him while he was gone, with the same tune, slightly different words.
nookiepowered: (amused (seriously? snort))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2012-02-13 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Some would call it understated panache. Some would just call it WTF, Mitchell?? Guess which some Bo was one of.

HOUSEWARMING? Srsly?
nookiepowered: (amused (fondly))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2012-02-13 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Shd I bring Back From The Dead Bundt Cake?

Which she would totally bake.

If by totally bake you meant totally buy from J,GoB because ahahaha bundt cake. Bo could... kind of sort of make Tollhouse Cookies without burning them. Sometimes.

nookiepowered: (smiling (satisfied))

[personal profile] nookiepowered 2012-02-13 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
If Bo could pull off stupid bouncy girly hugging via text message, she'd so be doing that now, just for the record. Since she wasn't Kenzi or Francine, Mitchell would have to settle for Bo following his oddly laid-back lead. While grinning a back a lot, not that he could see it.

...Can Annie eat bundt cake?
