"Sweetheart, I've made a decision. I can't live without you any longer. I know what to do so we can be free! Meet me in room handwavey number here tonight!"
At some point during the day, a small bag was left hanging from the doorknob to Ben's room.

"Hey, Ben, it's Jaina. ...The one from Fandom, in case I need to clarify. So you don't yell at me when I get back, I had to go home in kind of a rush. I shouldn't be gone long, and everything's fine now. Seriously. I'll see you when I get back."
And she actually sort of meant all of it. Amazing, huh?

"Hello friend, I hope you haven't forgotten about our appointment tomorrow so I can 'show you what's under my clothes.' I meant to remind you last night to be sure to bring protection. Just in case you're not as prepared as you claim. Until tomorrow!"

Yeah. Hi. Are you going to come over here or do I have to scar your poor puritan roommate by pinning you to a wall in front of her?
I don't care if you're dying or not, you can nurse your own bloody self. My head is killing me.

"I don't care whether or not you like girls. I think something funny's happening, so please stop calling."

"I think you might have gotten the wrong number since I'm very much not a woman. And if the young lady in question called you 'hot', then yes she is saying that you're cool. Congratualations."

"While I'm uncertain as to exactly what a 'lapdance' entails, I can assume the basic details, and I assure you, I do not wish to receive one from you. Do not leave me another such message!"

"Uhhh, what about my leg (http://likes-chicken.livejournal.com/761.html?thread=53753#t53753)? And what do you want to do with me? I'm kinda worried after the whole stabbing foreplay stuff someone said earlier."
"Despite what the Republicans might think about my mother, neither she nor I are evil. So there's no reason for you to hurt me. Okay?"
[From here![
"One, I am not jailbait. Maybe you're just old and decrepit and wouldn't know hot when it hit you in the face. Two, I won't be calling you. I'm taken, happily, and she could poison your ass with some...lengthy named diseased. So, ha!"

"Why does everyone think I'm propositioning them today? I'm really quite a good girl, at least most of the time. I'm quite happy for you, that you have a boyfriend, but you might want to work on your temper. What's a Quebecois, anyway?"

Tahiri's voice probably sounded a little guilty.
"Ben, it's me. I have to go home for a little while, okay? I leave in the morning. I'm really sorry. The timing sucks, I know."

"Hi, Ben? It's Karla. I...mostly, wanted to make sure you were okay. After the roof. There may have been a few boundaries crossed that neither of us wished to? I mean, not saying there's anything wrong with either of us--except that there was, but I meant normally--but you have a Consort and I have...I'm not entirely sure what or if I have anything...except an inability to apologize without babbling, it appears. Look, can we meet up sometime so I can do this in person? Assuming you don't hate me or anything?"
It took Ben about fifteen minutes to reply to the message.
"Of course I don't hate you," he replied. "Last week was...uncomfortable...for a lot of people. I'm in my room most of today if you want to stop by."

"Ben, it's your grandfather." Anakin's voice sounded concerned. "Can you stop by my next office hours, please?"
"Skywalker! I need you to set up a portalocity... thing whatever to that Worf kid's dimension. Galaxy. Or wherever the hell he's from. Today (http://famous-gut.livejournal.com/4684.html)!"
"Hey, Ben, it's me. Firekeeper and I are heading off-island for the day. We'll be back by tomorrow at the latest. Just wanted to let you know, okay? I -- see you tomorrow, I guess."
On Sunday night in Fandom and Friday night for John, he decided it was time to give Ben a call, not sure when he'd be back from visiting with Aravis.
"Hey, it's John. Just thought I'd check in, let you know I got to school okay and, uh, share that time's moving a little faster here than in Fandom. Offer still stands for you to visit whenever, but now you won't really have to worry about missing class if you stay too long. Just thought I'd tell you before you heard it elsewhere. Talk to you soon."

"Hey Ben, I'm back."
Karla truly did not believe in leaving her name. It was getting to be a Thing.
"Could you meet me at the beach after Reserves today? I have a present for you. Thanks."
A considering pause, as if Karla was debating adding something. Then a click as she hung up.

Soon after first period, Ben got a psychic thread from Karla. *Going to talk to him now.*
There was no emotional content sent along with those words. Karla had sealed herself up tight.It's like she was taking lessons.

Randomly, during first period on Thursday, Ben would get a psychic thread from Karla.
*Ben? Was your grandfather ever nicknamed anything? During a war?*
No reason she was asking.
*Ben? Was your grandfather ever nicknamed anything? During a war?*
No reason she was asking.
Ben's reply was noticeably wary. Depends on the war, he said carefully. But yes.
"Oh, you changed you message." Pause. "It's good."
Karla still didn't believe in giving her name. Not to people who knew her. "Since I haven't seen you in forever, I'm calling to let you know that Tahiri's party is Friday, sixth floor, athandwavy time."
Another pause. "I already know you're probably not sleeping any more that you were before, so avoiding me is just dumb. I'm not going to bitch, I'm just going to roll my eyes and make the occasional snide comment. Which was going to happen anyway."

After getting Ben's message (http://missed-the-gate.livejournal.com/1233.html?thread=4146641) and deciding it had been way too long since they'd talked, John hit him up for a call back.
And hopefully that meant a phone was ringing.

"Skywalker," Ben replied, picking up the comlink.
"Hey Ben. Just thought I'd give you a head's up that when next you see me, I might have lost all my hair and aged a good seven years. Yeah, I figure there's no winning this timeline thing, but I wanted to make sure you heard so it wouldn't be a surprise later." Which was mostly code for the part where he really didn't think Jaina would be sharing this news, but he wanted Ben to be aware. "And no, don't even think about calling me an old man. Talk to you later, kid."
