Chapter Five- ...And I Have Been Found Wanting

Filtered to Tamaki
You were a great Host King, my liege. I shall… I shall miss you dearly.

Filtered to Aziraphale
I don’t know what to say. It seems selfish to wish you hadn’t left, but I do.
… Live well, my angelic friend.

Filtered to Murphy MacManus
What the hell were you talking about? The doctors in the clinic said it was a loss.

Filtered to Gwaine and Cole
…I need help.

Filtered to Phoenix
Have a moment?

Filtered to Felix
Are you

[After all that, he tries to come up with an apology to all the people he might've hurt when he was sober. But he just can't admit that it was his fault.]

Sure, I'm not doing anything. What's up?

[Dictated like a boss]
thetrudger: (huh)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
[That is what Geoff is thinking. D:]

You...sound... awfully different...
spiritusaequitas: everlyn on LJ (everybody look what's goin' down)

[personal profile] spiritusaequitas 2012-02-15 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[the wheels in his head are turning] Okay, two questions. What'd I actually tell ya? I mean, what'd we talk about? ... And what did I look like, if ya saw me?

thetrudger: (lilium)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
It...It was over the journals. You told me I might have some horrible diseases. Gave me a heart attack.

[Oh. Wait.]

That was an impostor, wasn't it?
spiritusaequitas: everlyn on LJ (tell me more tell me more)

[personal profile] spiritusaequitas 2012-02-15 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[the poor bastard.] Soundin' like it, yeah. ... What page was it on? Maybe we can figure out who th' idiot is an' give 'im a taste of his own medicine.
takethat: Phoenix laughing heartily, looking very friendly and joyous. (laughing so much!)

Geoff

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ALL THE LAUGHING]

Hey, Geoff! It's me!
thetrudger: (eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
It was on page [insert page number].

What do you plan on doing?
spiritusaequitas: (kick in the ass - it's comin')

[personal profile] spiritusaequitas 2012-02-15 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Hm. Don't recognize the writin', but it shouldn't take much t' find out.

M'not sure yet. [his tone suggests a smirk] What were you gonna do t' me?
thetrudger: (Inter)

Phoenix

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
...Phoenix!

[He laughs happily along with him.] I can't... I can't believe...

It's really good to hear your voice at last. How did you...?
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (i'm so cute in a scarf)

Geoff

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's kind of funny, really...

...I fell out a window, hit my head, stayed knocked out for a week, and when I woke up I could talk.
thetrudger: (A good fonging)

Phoenix

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a pause as Geoff rereads that sentence.]

You... you fell out a window??!! Are you all right?!
thetrudger: (laugh)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles. He can't help but make a joke only he would understand.]

Pain. Lots of pain.
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (grinning)

Geoff

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm probably better off than I was before I fell!

[As with most things, he's just taking it all in stride.]

How've you been? I haven't heard from you in a while!
thetrudger: (sad)

Phoenix

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
I... I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.

Can we speak in person? I'd like to see you. My room is 2007 Terrere Tower, if you have the time.
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (concerned)

Geoff

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
There wasn't much of me to be there for seeing as how I was in a coma and all...

[But now he's concerned.]

Sure, I'll be there soon.

[And, as soon as he figures out how to get up to said tower, he'll be there, knocking on the door.]
thetrudger: (Default)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Geoff just sits there and waits for Phoenix to come. When he hears the knocking, he opens the door with a smile. There's stubble on his face and he looks a bit grungy.]

Phoenix.

[He leaves the door open and hurries to a table in the corner, clearing it of empty bottles.]

Please, have a seat.
takethat: Phoenix as he usually appears--bright eyes, happy smile. (thinking)

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
[The messy state of both the room and Geoff himself don't go unnoticed, but Phoenix doesn't immediately launch into asking about those specific details, either. Instead, he takes a seat, and looks around the room.]


...is everything okay, Geoff?
thetrudger: (upset)

[personal profile] thetrudger 2012-02-15 07:32 am (UTC)(link)
[He wishes up a glass of wine for Phoenix and set in front of him, then wishes one up for himself. He takes a large swig and sits with a sigh.]

It's... been a rough couple of weeks. I was on a loss, I've been horrible to my friends, I fail in the romance department, and two friends went home recently.

And now I'm laying all this shit on you, a man who fell out a window.

[He laughs bitterly and takes a sip of wine, waiting for Phoenix to speak.]
takethat: Phoenix in a t-shirt, eyes downcast. (sad...)

[personal profile] takethat 2012-02-15 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Phoenix isn't going to complain about free wine; he takes a couple of gulps.]

Lay it on me. Really. I like helping, and I sure as heck have been completely failing at that lately.

[He looks at the wine and then shakes his head--nope, not going to get into that right now.]

I'm so sorry two of your friends have gone... god, that must be horrible.
