[Phone]

[With much less screaming this time!]

So, I just wanted to say sorry about the other day, and could anyone tell me where the hospital is? Apparently I actually do have a job, but I'm not sure how to get there. Also is it just me, or does the air smell different? I'm a little concerned, lavender always gave me horrible headaches.

Also seriously? What the hell is with this Red Scare? I knew this was supposed to be a 1950's knockoff, but this is just insane!

[339 Brady Lane]

Okay, guys? I don't know when I'll be back but there's a platter of pancakes on the kitchen counter and a plate of cookies next to it. You are not allowed to eat the whole plate of cookies before I get back, I didn't get to have any yet because they were too hot. I'll bite you if they're all gone when I get home.

[Where she found the ingredients for either of those is a mystery~!]

That would be amazingly helpful. I'm at 339 Brady Lane, and I hope Anne doesn't try to claw your face off like she did to me. I think she was trying to make a point, but I don't know her well enough to know if that's normal or not. I guess I should be used to that happening though.

Why am I talking so much?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Ema shrugs on her end of the line.] I don't know.

But I'll make sure to keep my distance from this Anne person, whoever she is.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a chronic thing.

Also, since you're coming to help, I made some chocolate and butterscotch chip cookies to help me calm down. Would you like any?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

You bake?

Well, I'm not going to say no to free cookies. [Ema likes snack foods.] Thank you so much!

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Not well, really. But a little bit.

No problem. I probably made too many, I don't even know if my housemates even like cookies.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Well, more for us if they don't?

I'm Ema, by the way. Ema Skye.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Pretty much!

[MENTAL KEYSMASH WAIT A MINUTE]

Wait, Ema Skye as in Detective Skye, right?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Ema nearly drops the phone.]

W-wait, how do you know that?!

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Oh shit, this can't end well. WAT DO think fast, Mika!]

Well, you're...pretty famous on the internet.

[Oh, smooth. Good job there, Mika.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

...I am?

[She sounds way, way dubious.]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It just depends on where you look.

[She is not going to mention why. There are so many reasons why she isn't, it's just safer this way.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

And where do you look? [LINEFACE INTO THE PHONE. FOREVER.]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Listen, I just know what my friends talk about, and you just get mentioned a lot, okay? I don't usually go stuffing my nose into other people's business.

[Because really Ema, do you honestly want to know that a good collection of people like drawing you naked? Mika doesn't think so.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[... no, Ema would not react well to Rule 34.

She sighs. This isn't over, but it's not worth getting into over the phone like this. Mika's new and could use a break. She'll press her for the details later.]

All right, fine.

Where would you like to meet so we can go to work together?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Somehow Mika senses her upcoming interrogation and sneezes into the crook of her elbow.]

Um...I don't really know? I guess I could see if I can find a map or something.

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Check the address for your house, I can pick you up there.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

339 Brady Lane. That's easy enough, I've had to tell enough people lately...

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

Okay then. I'll be there in a little bit and we can head to the hospital together. How's that sound?

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Sounds good. I'll make sure to save you some cookies.

[Her tail would be wagging if she still had it.]

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

See you soon.

[Ema hangs up and heads over to the house where Mika is staying. She knocks on the door.]

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Safe trip.

[When Mika opens the door, the house still smells like she's been cooking. Still Mika seems to half-hide behind the door as she opens it.]

Do you want to come in? I don't really know what to do, is there anything I should take with me?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[Ema's eyebrow goes up at the sort-of hiding. It's not like she's going to bite.]

You should have some nurse's uniforms in your closet to change into. Other than that, all you need is you.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

[Nooo don't look at her she's broken.]

I will?

[glowing-science.livejournal.com]

[You don't look broken to Ema. Although, to be fair, she doesn't know you're a wolf.]

Yeah. It'll fit you perfectly, just like the rest of the clothing in there. I can wait here while you change, if you want.

[notlikethemovie.livejournal.com]

Ugh, this'll be a mess if I ever get my tail back. I'm going to have to get a whole new wardrobe.

[She makes a face, then steps back and beckons for Ema to come inside.]

Come on in, the cookies are on the kitchen counter if you want some while you wait. I'll get changed quickly, I promise.
