[Ever since waking from his droning, Jecht has been in a terrible mood.  He spent most of the weekend moping around the house, slamming doors and punching walls and breaking things.  Finally, on Sunday night, he's got most of the rage worked out of his system - or at least, he's now running on the baseline level of rage he has all the time - and

[perfektsymmetry]

...ah. Of course, sir.

[child_abuser]

Guess you got your break, huh?

[perfektsymmetry]

Ah, well, I suppose so. I-it was pretty freaky, I have to admit.

Um. D-did something happen that caused it? Or was it random?

[child_abuser]

Blew my stack and attacked Grady.

[tuna_surprise]

[Silence. A long silence.]

......What happened?

[child_abuser]

I went after Grady.

[tuna_surprise]

I see....

[She's really glad he's back, but still mad that he did this right after she told that everyone she cared about was getting droned.]

Why.... Why would you do that?

[child_abuser]

[Sighs deeply into the phone.]

"I just lost it after the Major General got droned. Some asshole named Kimbley used Father's Day to trap her in his house and mutilate her hands."

[Audibly grits his teeth.]

"And y'know what happened? This fucking town droned her. Some goddamn psychopath pulls a stunt like that, and the victim gets droned."

[Pauses to collect himself a little.]

"...So I went after Grady."

[bornwithskison]

[Silence, and then gently.]

Feel free to stop by the bar, Jecht. Drinks are on me.

[child_abuser]

[Chuckles ruefully.]

"I don't drink booze anymore, but I'll take you up on it. You got soda water 'n shit like that, right?"

[bornwithskison]

Yeah. We do.

[child_abuser]

Good deal. I'll be there.

be. prepared.

[limerenceloli]

...

... hmm?

Jecht? Is that you?

[child_abuser]

Yeah. Hey, kid.

[Immediately following his response is a strangled sound from the other end of the line… and then - silence. No matter how many times he talks into the phone, he will be rewarded with only silence.]

2/3

[Five minutes later, Jecht will receive a pounding knock on his door.
When he goes to open it, he’ll discover a very, very angry Saya standing at his front step.]

You bitch!

[is the first thing she says.]

You - heartless -

Fake -

Sonofa -

You owe me a real hug, you gobshit.

[weiss_tank]

What the hell did you do Jecht?

[child_abuser]

Called out Grady.

[weiss_tank]

Oh. How'd that go? Well I can kinda figure how it ended but what happened?

[child_abuser]

I yelled, tried to hit him, he teleported around and droned me. Whole thing was over pretty fast, really.
