[On the evening of the second, Killian remembers to do a thing]

For the record, Ariel and I are safely in Vegas and it's just as weird as I remember it, only with more cultists who we have thankfully managed to avoid. Relatedly, if anyone in Vegas wants to meet up, I think can manage something before we have to leave...sometime, I know we're planning on being back in Locke sometime next week.

[He's tired, can you tell. A quick wave to the camera and then he ends the feed. He starts it up again in a few minutes, though this time with a filter.]

[Locked to Friends and Family of Killian and Ariel]

[And now he is the most unamused Dwarf]

Okay, which asshole planted the phone? Fil says it wasn't him but.

Ah, Vegas. Lots of memories there. Even got echoed on my last visit!

But what's this about a phone?

[youngestone]

No pulses for us yet, but that might change.

So someone decided to be a sneak and plant a junk phone in our bags and call it every couple of hours so it played "Kiss the Girl." This someone is going to be minus some very important body parts when I find out who it was.

[mistakesmakeuswhoweare]

Cute, but not my style. Who had access to your luggage?

[youngestone]

Just about everyone? I mean, you didn't obviously but anyone who stopped by and went up to my room might have done it.

[espigeonage]

Cultists... man, they sound like a hassle. Keep your eyes open there.

[Having seen his response to Isabela]

Why would - oh I get it. So... that'd make you Eric?

[youngestone]

Aaaaaand fuck you.

[He makes a face]

[espigeonage]

Aww, c'mon! Better him than the dog. And before you ask, no, it wasn't me. That's too much effort to be my style.

[youngestone]

I didn't think it was you. Fil or Shou's my guess, maybe Gabriel.

[arrowpoint]

I'm glad you guys are safe.

[Said flatly.]

[youngestone]

Wow, don't sound so excited man, you might pull a muscle.

[arrowpoint]

[This face.]

[youngestone]

Look dude, you're an okay guy but if you're going to be an ass about me dating Ariel, I won't hesitate to give you a piece of my mind.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Still not me.

[youngestone]

Still not entirely sure I believe you. It's gotta be either you or Shou.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

If it was me I'd be gloating at you already. Not me!

[youngestone]

Yeah but--

[There's a pause as the junk phone goes off. Killian cuts the feed to Fil, only to start it up a few minutes later, stunned.]

So, uh. It was Hjalti.

[It's a really, really good thing he's using text and not audio from his phone, because Hjalti's laughing his head off good and long and it'd be so easy for Killian to guess why if he could hear it.]

Planted what phone?

some asshole planted a phone in our bags that would play "Kiss the Girl" whenever they called it, which they did every two hours or something

I mean in the end I just started kissing her whenever it rang but whoever did it gonna be minus some very important body parts when we get back.

[proudbraveandtall]

You sure about that? Doesn't sound like it hurt anything, and you got something nice out of it.

[His hand is starting to go for that second phone, though...]

voice;

[ursoreckless]

So... Have you yet?

voice;

[youngestone]

Several times. I mean, we were oblivious, not stupid.

voice;

[ursoreckless]

[laughs and hums 'Kiss the Girl']

Brilliant. At least you've recognized there's some attraction there.

[senseandcecilbility]

[It is hard to have your city called "weird" and being unable to deny the sad truth. He can't say the cultists have been an improvement either.]

Do you need any help?

[Things have been a little intense lately.]

[youngestone]

No, we've been doing okay. The cutlists are a lot of near misses, though. Anyone found out how to keep them away yet?

[senseandcecilbility]

I...

[Somehow managed to make them forget to stalk him.]

I could help if you find yourself in trouble with them.
