[rogue_of_void]

[After getting the run down of her new situation from the faceless maid, and settling in to her new quarters in Freya house, Roxy is all set to pester all of you. This is the first time in a long time that she's done any sober texting... Actually, it's been a while since she's done anything sober.]

[hopefulpageturner]

==> In Person

[hopefulpageturner]

[AND JAKE IS JUST GOING TO RUN DOWN TO THE BASE FLOOR AND STAND THERE BOUNCING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OH SWEET TITTY FUCKING CHRIST HE'S ABOUT TO MEET ONE OF HIS FRIENDS FOR THE FIRST TIME.]

Re: ==> In Person

[rogue_of_void]

[Truth be told, Roxy is pretty excited too. It's kind of lonely when all your friends live so far away. It doesn't take much of a logical leap to figure out that the bouncing bespectacled boy is Jake English. Which is why she's launching right into the hug.]

Jake! Oh my God, it is so good to see you!

Not how I though we'd meet, but still awesome.

[hopefulpageturner]

[OKAY! OKAY! HE WAS NOT EXPECTING TO ACTUALLY GET HUGGED LIKE THAT BUT AHH. WHO CARES.]

[Because he's quickly hugging her back because this is really the best thing ever.]

Ahhh! Goodness, Roxy! I can't believe I get to meet you finally!!!

[rogue_of_void]

I wasn't expecting ancient gods to be kidnapping me any time soon, but I guess I have to thank them for this.

Any sign of Dirk or Jane?

[hopefulpageturner]

[He actually hasn't let go yet. Because well, wouldn't you be willing to just hold one of your best friends forever when you met them for the first time? C'mon. He doesn't care that they're in this weird ancient city, but what he does care about is that one of his best friends is standing right in front of him.]

I saw a bloke typing in orange the other day, but I don't think it was actually Dirk. But no sign of Janey at all, I'm afraid.

[rogue_of_void]

[She is perfectly fine staying right where she is for now.]

Yeah, kinda figured it'd be too much to ask to have us all here.

[She really hopes they aren't back home trying to play the Batterwitch's horrible trap game with just the two of them. But she avoids bringing that up. No reason to worry Jake.]

But you never know, they might still turn up.

[hopefulpageturner]

[Yup. More hugging. Not stopping. Nope. Nope. Nope.]

It would be absolutely fantastic if they were both here with us too, wouldn't it?

[He laughs a little and finally pulls back, getting a good look at her.]

I-I just have so much I want to say and so much I want to do now that I get to actually see you.

[rogue_of_void]

Yeah, it would sure complete the experience.

[She grins]

I know what you mean. I still feel like this might turn out to be just another one of my very crazy dreams.

[If it is a dream, she's not sure how much she wants to return to reality.]

Either way, I think this calls for a toast.

[By toast she means 'let's get hammered.' Same thing, right?]

[hopefulpageturner]

[Jake waves his hands a little bit, laughing almost nervously.]

Trust me, Roxy! This isn't a dream! Since I was here I would've dreamed you, Janey and Dirk up ages ago!

[He chuckles, holding a hand to his mouth.]

I guess we'll just have to find something for you then. I'm not much of a drinker myself, but I don't want to have to flush you down the toilet.

[By that he means you drink like a fish. IT MADE SENSE IN HIS HEAD.]

[rogue_of_void]

[She raises an eyebrow and her lips quirk up in the beginning of a smirk.]

Yeah, Jakey, avoiding flushing is pretty high on my list too.

[She glances around.]

So where's the kitchen? That seems like a good place to start looking. Our grocery list today includes gin, vermouth, and a few olives.
