[Game 21] That Night

[arsgoetia]

After everyone has gotten fed and had a chance to learn the basic details of what things are like here, Kieran calls you all together (pretty much because Madison had been trying to work up the steam to do so, so Kieran stepped in instead).

It's dark outside, and a little chill—about 9 or 10PM.

"Okay, guys," Kieran says. "So, Maddy's got enough train tickets for all of us minus two. Maddy's staying behind because of prophecy reasons, and I'm going to stay with him so he's not left alone in this house and also because I'm probably a killswitch for a powerful incubus, aka my boyfriend, showing up if anything happens to me and, by extension, Maddy." He delivers this all in a deadpan. "Anything else, Maddy?"

Maddy looks a little alarmed to be put on the spot, shaking his head and flushing a little. "Er. Not for now. Oh . . . if anything goes. Weird? Please listen to Sariel—he's . . . in charge?" And he hands over an envelope to everyone's favourite psychopomp.

[...why do people assume she has a phone. in some ways the 21st century is more bewildering than surprise person shape.]

...Sorry, I don't think I can. Does everyone have their own phone like that now??

[tenebrat]

[ oh no ] Oh-- you asked, so I thought you had one... it does seem to be very common, though. Everyone here I have met has a phone.

[sigh]

Ah, well. Who was it--Maddy?--said it should be okay.

[tenebrat]

Madison, yes. It should certainly be fine, though I do like having phone numbers... I am usually available through most shadows, anyway, so if I am needed usually one must only call for me.

...Would you mind if I did that? In a strictly "in case of emergency" way, obviously. Or if we can find a pen before leaving I could just write your number down somewhere.
