Hi, this is Tara McCutcheon. There's a really, really good reason why I can't take your call right now, and if you'll leave a message for me so I can call you back, I promise I'll tell you what it is!

Work-related stuffness

[brambless]

If you're a student calling about class, this is the OCD thread for you.

Re: Work-related stuffness

[temptingvisions]

Tara? It's Phoebe. I have a class scheduling problem.

I want to take both your Myth and Magic class and your Foundations of Magic classes. However, the only way I can is if I come in a half hour late as my Arthurian class doesn't end until 9:30.

Help?

Re: Work-related stuffness

[brambless]

Phoebe... the class is only an hour and a half. You'd be missing a full third of it, every week.

Is there any chance you could alternate? I mean, leave Arthurian half an hour early one week, to get to my class on time, and then the other way around the week after?

Or it might be better to leave one of them for next semester.

*sigh*

We've got some bad conflicts, huh?

Re: Work-related stuffness

[temptingvisions]

Actually, Tara...uhm... I can drop the Fairy Tale to Fact class.

Honestly? I need help with something else...something very important.

Family

[brambless]

Family business? The Bat Signal of needing-a-mommy? This is your OCD thread!

"Tara...CJ. I got a call from Shane that she passed her exams and got into FU. I have something for her, and I'd love your help surprising her with it. Call me? Dinner maybe?"

Re: Family

[lis_rouge]

A quiet and hesitant voice leaves a message late Monday night:

"Tara? It's...CJ. Honey I'm calling to tell you I'm so sorry if I hurt or scared you. I don't know...but Ten said...well, *sighs* Ten said a lot, actually. But to you I'm very sorry, sweetie. Love you."

Re: Family

[brambless]

"CJ? I'm... I'm scared for you, CJ. Please, is there anything I can do? Anything? I love you too. And so does Ten. So much."

Shane and Kate

[brambless]

For my dear lovers *cough*andphonesex?*cough*, this is your OCD thread.

Re: Shane and Kate [backdated to Monday night 1/16]

[shane_mcc]

*rumbly purr* Baby, come home... I'm done studying and I'm... all... yours.

I'll be in bed, waiting for you...

Re: Shane and Kate [backdated to Monday night 1/16]

[brambless]

*a sharp intake of breath*

I'm on my way.

*fervent, heartfelt reply*

Re: Shane and Kate

[madam_officer]

Tara? [her voice is soft, holding a fragility that few others know, and a love unique to the woman she speaks to]

I just...wanted to know how you were. And Shane. And if you wanted to...go somewhere. With me. [nervous hesitance stilts the words, but is far from enough to bar them]

[ending with delicate sweetness, because she can't do it any other way] I love you.

Social chitchat

[brambless]

*sings* Make new friends, but keep the old - one is silver and the other gold!

Re: Social chitchat

[master_of_fear]

Hey Tara, it's Jonathan. I was wondering when would be a good time to get together and start up your therapy again. My Fridays are wide open and I was thinking today would be a good time.

Re: Social chitchat

[brambless]

Jonathan? Don't hang up, I'm here! Today would be great, thank you so much. I've freaked out a couple of times in the last few weeks, and I think I'm scaring Shane.

Re: Social chitchat

[master_of_fear]

Oh, hey, glad I caught you then. So, Fridays work for you? Would you like to get started this week? Anytime that you need me I could probably do, but some of my days are pretty full and I was hoping to keep my therapy sessions on one day.

Ice cream

[handsomeranger]

"Tara. Ranger. I'm glad it worked out okay. And ice cream sounds good. Wednesday?"
