[ She's not sure if he has an in with any Dominants already to get food, but if he needs one... ]

un: scrapper

[bunchofscrewups]

[ He's managed so far, but every meal has been pretty tedious. Might be nice to have something - or someone, rather - that feels more reliable. And Kate has proven to be that so far.

In fact, he's been thinking about her, and the collar that's getting really tight on his throat. ]

Sure, sounds good.

[rambler]

ok
ill see u at the entrance doors

[ That's where Kate'll be waiting quietly on the sidelines with her device in her hands. ]

[bunchofscrewups]

Okay.

[ It won't take him long to get there. Not like there's much to do to get ready or very far to go. When he spots her, he heads over with a smile. ]

Hey, I know last week was fucked. I just wanted to make sure you were ok.

text, un: scrapper

[bunchofscrewups]

Yeah, I'm okay. I mean, I don't like that they can just make us forget everything we've been through, but I guess we also already knew they could do that.

Are you okay?

[allyourfeels]

[ If Cal's looking at his device, there is a lot of "typing" "not typing" "typing" going on. ]

There's a ton of things we really got to talk about, but I'm okay.

Someone like, shoved blind rage into this guy, and he went on a rampage. I didn't reach him on time to prevent casualties. I brought him home.

Sorry I didn't call you first, a lot happened very fast and he really needs help. He's worried it'll happen again, and I can stop him so I think he's les on edge with me nearby.

(I don't think it'll happen again tho, I think I'd recognize the dickhead who caused it if I felt him close??)

[bunchofscrewups]

[ That ... really is a lot. It takes him a good while to respond. Was it intentional? Caleb seems to think so, but Cal can't help but think about how Luke, someone who would hate to hurt anyone innocent, found himself so overcome with rage at what the city had done to them that he couldn't even think about that. ]

Let me know if you feel him. I can help.

Hello.
I told you I'd follow up after Tumenalia regarding the efficacy of my barricading attempts.
It didn't work, unfortunately.
I slipped my cuffs and went wandering.
Have someone else secure you, if you ever try it.

un: scrapper; text

[bunchofscrewups]

Oh, yeah, thanks. That's good to know.

Are your hands okay?

[compellingstatement]

[It takes a moment for Jon to parse why the other man is asking that. Ah. Right. Hands.]

I've healed.
It's fine.
I hope nothing terrible happened to you this year?

[bunchofscrewups]

Okay, good.

I think I got off pretty lightly.

Delivery

[massrez]

[ A carefully-wrapped package makes its way to Cal's residence. Inside are a collection of sugared fruits, nuts, chocolates, and toffee.

Tucked alongside the food is a fine, silken scarf in dark blacks and blues, with a silver metallic thread decorating the edges with constellations. It is warmer to the touch than one might imagine, and retains heat well despite its thin material.

A note accompanies the gifts, written in a familiar, elegant cursive. ]

It is my hope that these bring you comfort and warmth during the winter months, such as your friendship has brought to me.

Use them in good health, my friend. Light go with you.

- A.W.

MEET FAITH LEHANE! YOU TWO SHOULD TALK ABOUT WRESTLING!

un: scrapper

[bunchofscrewups]

[ ... All right then. ]

I know Duplicity's pushy about us sleeping with as many people as possible as often as possible, but now it's getting ridiculous.

[rockypath]

i've lost count of the number of these i've gotten/'sent'. still, i guess it's nice to meet new people?

[bunchofscrewups]

Really? You're the first for me. I guess they like you.

I'm Cal.

delivery!

[legellely]

A bright red box with a silver ribbon is delivered to Cal. Inside are pink snowflake sugar cookies and a fun selfie. The back of the picture reads:

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Thank you for being amazing! 💗 Elle
