[KNOCK KNOCK, BILLY. But oh, wait, you no longer share you room with your boyfriend, so Tommy just goes on ahead an opens the door! Oh!]

Yo - 'you busy?

[ Billy's just chilling out on his bed with his laptop on his stomach and his pillow shoved under his neck so that it's bent at an angle he'll really feel later. When Tommy comes in, he elbows himself up to almost sitting. ]

I am the exact opposite of busy right now.

[it's like waiting for an answer was nothing beyond a formality. He slides on over inside, taking up a chair.]

Cool. You don't have anything planned for today, right?

[ Billy finishes the slow task of sitting all the way up and reminds himself that maybe he should, like, remember to work out occasionally. ]

Well, I was going to fix up the feng shui in this room, but -- [ He shakes his head. ] Schedule's wide open. S'up?

[A shrug. He hasn't really thought it through, but-] Dunno. Jaime's still moping around the house. When he's in the house.

Thought we should pull him out of that routine.

[ That gets Billy to look a little sombre. ]

Yeah, I've noticed he's not snapping out of it on his own. Time for us to step in and remind him that there's more to life than studying the living room walls.

My thoughts exactly.

So, any ideas? All I can think of includes beer.

[ Billy wrinkles his nose slightly as he thinks. ]

Not gonna argue with the healing powers of underaged drinking. But maybe we need an additional plan. Beer and a bad vintage monster movie? Beer and going and blowing up rocks somewhere? Beer and All You Can Eat Chinese buffet? Something out of the house but also not alone.

I like that. All of that. [Thoughtful smirk.]

We should make it an all-in-one. Blow stuff up, stuff our faces in Chinese food, then the movie.

[gestures. 'On the other hand...'] If that doesn't work, we could just destroy Taco Bell. Bet that'd cheer him up.

With beer.

[ Billy rubs at the bridge of his nose with his thumb. ]

I'm all for making Jaime smile again. And I understand how Taco Bell is an offense to Mexican food everywhere. But maybe we should try to keep the number of felonies we commit tonight to a minimum?

[He snorts, raising his hand.] Relax, I was joking. [For now.]

But, yeah. Jaime's in the living room right now, let's kidnap the guy while we still can.

[ Billy closes his laptop and swings his legs over toward the floor, pushing himself up with his hands. ]

Lead the way, [ he says but then starts to walk toward the door and the living room beyond anyway. With Tommy, he usually needs the head start. ]

[the kidnapping commences (http://community.livejournal.com/capeandcowllogs/1002749.html?thread=31108093#t31108093)]

[plopped on the couch cross-legged, Jaime's got Rocket on his lap purring away like the fat, fuzzy blob of cat that she is. he's got a car magazine draped over the arm of the sofa he's idly flipping through, not really reading. bumsville, usa. population: jaime reyes]

[AND SUDDENly Tommy swoops in to stand in front of Jaime, hands crossed. The cat is probably used to him POPPING OUT OF NOWHERE, but if not... well. See you around Rocket-chyan. Billy will catch up in a second or two.]

'Sup?

[ It definitely takes Billy a little longer to actually get there, but he manages eventually, coming up behind the couch and resting one hand on the back. ]

Hey, Jaime. You busy?

[normal or not, Rocket still startles and digs her claws into whatever she's got underfoot--currently Jaime's lap.] Tss-! Okay, off! [he pushes Rocket off, though she doesn't need much coaxing. she's off to confiscate a sock drawer somewhere.

Jaime squints up at Tommy, then over at Billy.] Uh--Hey. No? What's going on?

We're not really sure yet. But, [gesturing with his hand, he drops on the couch to take a seat next to Jaime.]--what we do know is that it involves taking you of the hole on the couch you're starting to dig into.

Edited 2010-05-21 01:12 (UTC)

[ Billy leans more heavily into the couch, almost but not quite leaning over Jaime's shoulder. ]

By force if necessary. Friendly force. Force that comes from the heart. But, you know, force.

[an 'uh-oh' feeling sketches a dubious look on Jaime's face, switching glances between the two. twin factor: always kind of weird when both are in your face.]

Is this one of those 'kicking and screaming', or else things? Dragged by the ankle while I claw the carpet? [grimace.] What's the or else?

Trust me--it's us. You don't wanna find out what else is.

Now off we go, Beetle Boy. Time to get your ass off the couch. [STANDS UP]

[ Billy starts poking Jaime in the shoulder arrhythmically. ]

I'm pretty lame when it comes to threatening people, so you should listen to him and save us all from having to listen to me try.

[a faint groan, rolling his eyes. SIGH.] I shouldn't be testing my luck between wizard-boy and the speedster wonder, huh. You gonna at least tell me where we're going so I can brace myself? [he says that while getting up sluggishly.]

Nope.

[and that's it.]

Take it away, bro.

Right. [ Billy straightens up and tries to form a clear picture in his mind of where they're headed. Not that they couldn't just walk or fly, but why bother when you can teleport? Another triumph for teen laziness. ]

This would be the part where you should

[ Cue the blue light and a second later they're on a street downtown, an easy walking distance between a) a movie rental place and b) Chinatown. ]

[oh, God. magic. magic + alien tech = no muy bueno.

Jaime lurched forward after the magical transport, an arm flailing out to palm a wall and keep him from keeling over.] Hurgh--[don'theavedon'theavedon'theavedon'theave--

no. okay.

moment over.

Jaime sucks in a breath and shakes his head clear of the post-magic dizzy vibe, squinting up to look for a street sign while Scarab did its handy dandy GPS report.]

...Chinatown? What're we doing over here?

[Tommy's about to throw out some other of his lame one liner things, but oh look Jaime is about to throw up.] --whoa, dude?

[oh okay the moment passed BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED... PERSONALITY]

Stuffing ourselves silly, that's what. Off we go, dude. [smacks a hand against his back!]
