I am back ...

[xp_scarlet_witch]

Which means I did, actually, disappear for a while but was horrible about letting anyone know. My search continues to be fruitless, so I've come back to the city at least for a few days before Stephen and I continue on.

I shall be at Harry's tonight to celebrate Amanda's birthday (my god, when did all of you get to be so much older than I remember you being?) and around the city for a few more days as I catch up on paperwork. Hopefully I can see a few of you before the next "lead" pops up.

Welcome back. I'll save you a beer.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I always knew you were one of my favorites.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

And you as well. :)

Missed you and the Chinese food/Karaoke hour. Perhaps we could have another one of those and try Mexican food this time?

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I was just informed by a very stern magician (who hates being called a magician) that I need to remember what it is like to have fun again. Care to try that plan before I head off into the sunset again this week?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

What would he prefer? Wizard?

I would love to.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Well, he hates it when I call him a magician because I once drunkenly told him it always made me think of him in a black cape performing on a stage with rabbits in hats. He was quite put out.

Brilliant!

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Now I can't get that image out of my head. For some reason I'm also adding flying doves in there.

I'm thinking Copacabana for the karaoke number.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

I've been told I am a horrible person. Also, now I cannot get the doves out of my head, either.

Mmm, that sounds fantastic. It has been a while since I subjected anyone to my singing.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Horrible? Hardly. It's not like he actually does that...does he?

Unfortunately I cannot say the same. Alcohol makes me sing like a bird. And apparently drunk journal.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Sadly, I have yet been able to talk him into doing anything like that. One day, I shall succeed. And then I'll send you pictures.

Oh, I have missed quite a lot, haven't I?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Eeeexcellent. Top hat and coat tails too please.

A fair amount. I'll give you the cliff notes when we meet up for food and booze.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

A cane and a bow tie. Mmm. Wait, I think my brain is going in the wrong (or right) direction ...

We'll have to swap notes.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I think magicians have wands, but they do have bow ties. I think.

Sounds like a plan.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

My magician certainly does. If you cannot tell, I'm waggling my eyebrows dramatically in your direction.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Wait let me look. Well hello!

Why am I using my phone instead of talking to you? Oh right because the Harry's is insanely loud.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Aren't you a telepath though?

Actually, hold that thought (hah, look I'm hilarious!), I'm taking Adrienne's wine hostage and coming over to you.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I think I would yell in your head and thati sonot proper manners. Drunken telepathy=bad.

I really do not...mind...if you come over (ba dum bum) but I cannot promise the wine will remain safe.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

...now I'm picturing him in a John Woo movie.

(that's not helping, is it)

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's helping me a great deal but perhaps not my darling Stephen but since this was my bizarre drunk fantasy, I am all that matters.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Huzzah for bizarre drunken fantasies! The best kind.

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

At least the fun kind, anyway.

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

I almost choked on my beer.

Bravo.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

One of the many services I provide. :)

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Shall we add that to your CV, Mr. Ramsey?

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Hm. One's CV should be thorough and complete, no?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Remind me to not drink beer around you. I may spill all of the beer. And then I would be said.

Coincidentally, I am having some oright now.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I noticed.

So now is not the time to mention the woman I spotted combing her hair with a plastic fork on the subway today?

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Grr face. Rar.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Grr, argh? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCLPHSVtvmU)

[x-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Grr argh rar rar. Snarf.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I'll buy you another beer to apologize.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if you owe me a glass of wine or if I owe you one, but someone owes someone a drink! As soon as I freshen up from my car ride home from Boston, I'm heading over to Harry's and you better still be there!

Glad you're back!

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Darling, they couldn't drag me out of here even if they tried. There is no way I would leave Amanda's party early especially knowing that you're on the way.

There'll be a glass waiting for you but you best hurry.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Why do I need to hurry? Are you going to drink my wine? DON'T DRINK MY WINE, WANDA! MY WINE! MINE!

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Well, it's still here but it looks awfully lonely...

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I'M ON MY WAY DON'T DRINK MY WINE WANDA!

[x-scarletwitch.livejournal.com]

Since you asked so nicely, my dear, you've been given a reprieve.

10 minutes!

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Wait...you were gone? *grins* Welcome back, I may have left something in your office as a welcome home present.

Figured you could use something for next winter. :) (http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.242602658.jpg)
