Hi. Hi - hi is not really the word I'm looking for here, but there is no monosyllabic word to say 'I know it's been a while since I've tried a silly stint like this, and I know you won't reply to it because you're not here, but though I want to take pride in my ability to keep a cool head nowadays, I really could've used your steady logic this weekend to tell me something like "you're a Mae, so stop trembling"'...which is probably something you'd hear only halfway, so anyway - hi, Nick.

Where in the world are you, now?

These longer curses - how long do they actually last? If by midnight of the first day it's still going, I'm calling it a longer curse. Just - yeah, just a fact.

[ He sends that first, almost immediately, since the guilt starts to seep in almost straight away. And then, after about thirty seconds, he sends: ] mae i'm - i'm really sorry.

Don't apologize - it wasn't [you? but then it must've been, a little of jamie, because hey - she's alive.] your fault.

[and probably when this message gets to jamie, the sound of mae unlocking the front door and slipping inside the apartment can be heard. if he's home.]

[ Yep, Jamie is indeed here. He'd wanted to make sure Mae was okay, that he hadn't done anything to her he didn't remember-- that nothing terrible had happened while he was... well. So when he hears the door unlocking, Jamie scrambles and goes to his sister, going straight for a hug as soon as she's within reaching distance. ]

You okay, Kiddo?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Tired.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

You need a place to crash?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

No, I'm good - thanks for the offer. All's good.

[dude-imbatman.livejournal.com]

You're welcome and sometimes the curses do last more than 12 hours. Not often though.

[beifongbandit]

Usually even the long ones are only two or three days. But if you count weird weather, we had snow for like... months straight last year. It was awful.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

You can deal with weird weather, though. Months of snow's not that unusual.

[beifongbandit]

But it snowed every day. This isn't the South Pole, okay.

Tired - but glad to see you both back.

How are you?

I don't expect waking up has been any easier on you. We've...got a lot of things to talk about. And you can glare at me for holding out information, if you promise to be charming about it.

Hard to say until it stops, isn't it?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

I suppose...

It's a bit of a disappointment, really. I'm starting to wish for predictability.

[signatures]

You don't find it boring?

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

This weekend I'd have found it a relief.

[fatespoken]

Either a day or two. The odd one lasts a week, or more.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

And bad weather can last months.

[fatespoken]

Nothing has lasted a month. Not a curse, at least.

[brobeforehos.livejournal.com]

Good to know - it's easier to lose track of reality if you've to face another one that long.
