awesome_lillyLilly has a cell phone. She doesn't use it a lot, because, well. Who's she gonna call? (Somewhere, Ray Stantz's ears are burning and he has no idea why.) Practically no one else in the bar has a working phone.
Meg, however, has a phone that was given to her by Desire, and Lilly has her number and a need to talk to her BFF without leaving the couch and her ice cream.
"Hey, Meg."

Date: 2006-09-12 12:55 am (UTC)Due to all this, she's a little breathless as she answers,* Hey, Lilly - ca va?

Date: 2006-09-12 01:00 am (UTC)"Kinda sucky, actually. Um. Not apocalypse sucky, just boy sucky. Can you come over?"
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:04 am (UTC)Just as soon as I figure out what button you push to turn it off.

Date: 2006-09-12 01:12 am (UTC)Indy better be taking good care of Veronica in Marrakesh.
She doesn't have a lot of time to worry about that before someone's knocking at the door.
"It's unlocked," Lilly calls.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:25 am (UTC)She takes in the couch, and the ice cream, and winces.*
- Indy or Jayne?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:28 am (UTC)"I have an extra spoon."
BFF privileges. For listening to the person who needs the ice cream complain about why they need the ice cream, you get to share the ice cream. It's in the ice-cream based bylaws of the BFF contract.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:33 am (UTC)Meg accept the spoon, and digs into the tub, while simultaneously tilting her head with a listening and sympathetic expression.*
What happened?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:37 am (UTC)"Remember how we had that talk, where he was all 'I don't like sharing' and I was all 'I don't do monogamy' and we agreed to give it some time and talk later? Well. We talked."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 01:45 am (UTC)*Meg bites her lip, and then takes a hasty bite of ice cream before it can drip all over her tutu.*
He decided sharing really was worse than nothing at all?
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:07 am (UTC)Lilly sighs heavily.
"I really like him. But I don't want to be exclusive with anyone."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:13 am (UTC)She knows why.*
Oui - and if he can't deal with it, it's probably for the best, tu sais?
*She looks up again at Lilly, earnestly.* And at least - it wasn't angry, was it? You can still be friends.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:30 am (UTC)Maybe not ever. Jayne had been hurt, scowling and trying not to let her see, and she knew that and hated it, but better this, now, then... well.
"I don't think he really understood, so much. It's not something I think people get, unless they're- well. Dead, among other things."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:39 am (UTC)*She shakes her head, trying to clear it.* I think it's - I mean, having a relationship when you're dead with someone who isn't - it's a stupid thing to do.
And sometimes it's worth it. And I mean, sometimes you can't help it anyways. But - if you can help it, it's better to not be stupid.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:45 am (UTC)Lilly polishes off a bit more ice cream before continuing.
"But I made it pretty clear to him that we're not exclusive, and so, you know. When he runs across some hot adventuress in his world who's like, alive and able to keep up with him, I won't be an issue the way I would if we were all crazy serious about each other."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 03:57 am (UTC)I really hope, *she says, honestly,* that he does.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:04 am (UTC)Lilly eyes the mocha fudge, and then sets it down.
"Sometimes I do too. And then sometimes I don't, cause I do like him, and god. Dating was so much easier when I was alive and also didn't give a shit about most other people's feelings."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:09 am (UTC)You just missed the perfect window, really.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:19 am (UTC)"My timing sucks, Meg. But so do boys. I think maybe I'll switch to girls for a while."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:24 am (UTC)*Meg is ever so slightly dubious.
(She may be thinking of Anthy. Not that she and Anthy were ever anything but platonic! Disregarding that one weird kiss.
All the same: girls can be tricky.)*
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:31 am (UTC)Her foot kicks against the couch.
"I mean, seriously. What is with all the guys I meet here being all about the committment? Is it the apocalypse or something? Does it make them all nervous and clingy?"
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:41 am (UTC)I think it's in large part that you're really pretty, and they're possessive.
I mean. Even when they're not monogamous themselves, guys get like that. It's just that you've got the misfortune to get the nice ones.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:47 am (UTC)"I just need to find the male version of me. Only, not in the creepy gross way that kinda implied."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:51 am (UTC)*She laughs, suddenly.*
- and what you really need is several male versions of you, n'est-ce pas? In a non-creepy-gross way.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:55 am (UTC)"God, Meg. I really do love the way you think. This is why we're BFF."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 04:57 am (UTC)They'll turn up. Just wait - you keep running strip nights, and the perfect men are bound to show up eventually.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 05:08 am (UTC)"Yeah, totally. It'll all work out in the end, and in the meantime? I have ice cream."
no subject
Date: 2006-09-12 05:10 am (UTC)And - now that I know which button to press? All you ever have to do is call.
