Steven Grant's Voicemal (555-GATR)

[hasaknightjob]

"Yes. Hi. It's, ah, Steven. Can't come to the phone. Probably busy. Or, ah, not here. Will call back though! If you leave a message. Name, number, all that sort of thing. Possibly not right away? But as soon as I can, promise! Yes. Laters gators!"

Later Monday morning Liz left a voice mail since she figured calling was probably better than texting considering exactly what they were going to be training and Liz was going to be setting his suit on fire, calling was the least she could do.

“Um … hi it’s Liz ...from the other day?” In case Steven had met any other Liz’s who were pyrokinetics as well, “um …I was just calling to see if tomorrow afternoon would a good time to have a training session, I mean if you were still interested that is …er …I think the weather should also be good for it and less risk of anything burning,” since Prompto’s text had definitely reminded her to make sure it was ideal weather conditions for their training session, “but let me know if that would work for you. Um … thank you…um bye?” It had been a while since Liz had left a voice mail so it was slightly awkward but she hoped Steven could understand her message.

“Hi Steven … it’s Liz, I’m … I’m back in Fandom, I - I don’t know if Marc told you that I need to talk to you, um in person? I’m - um at my apartment,” she paused, “um … above the Photo Hut,” in case he had forgotten where she lived, “um … I guess I’ll see you shortly? Um - bye,” she really needed to work on leaving better voice messages.

"Steven, hello. It's. Ah. Llewellyn. I was wondering if- perhaps you were free this afternoon? And- able to stop by my apartment. I've- a gift for you."

The message cut off rather abruptly after the 'you', as if the caller had been seized by a sudden bout of uncertainty and had hung up instead of giving in to the temptation to press one and hear more options, among which they had recently discovered were the ability to re-record a message or delete it entirely.

A text, Monday morning:

im bac and i'm ok

Succinct and to the point.

Nell had looked up 'shana tovah' after it had been mentioned on radio today - yes, she was listening to radio these days, oh dear.

I just wanted to wish you 'Shana tovah'. I hope you have a good new year and I'm grateful to have you as part of my life again. And now I know why you wanted honey. Maybe next year at this time I can give you some honey from my own bees.

And because Lana wasn't an idiot, after she texted Marc, she also texted Steven.

Are you well? Is Marc? Is there anything I can do?

[flamesburned]

Hi it’s Liz Liz wrote I wanted to see how you were feeling today. I hope you’re feeling better. If there’s anything I can to do to help, please let me know

She was a little more personal with Steven’s message since she knew Marc wouldn’t have liked a really personal message to see how he was feeling.

Mid-morning on Tuesday, Nell left Steven a message. If she didn't hear back she'd send Marc a text a bit later.

"Hi there, It's Nell. I just wanted to check on you'un. You weren't at the museum today, so I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Please let me know if you need anything, okay? I'm home most all day."

Sunday morning Wanda sent a text to Steven and Marc on Steven's phone.

Steven -- Leaving the island so Marc is relieved of food duty. Really appreciated your kindness over the last few months. Marc -- I did what we do best. Need to clean up my mess. Take care of each other.

Phone Day

Actually, scratch that. Make it two pints of lube, a watermelon, and a winch. Ta!

Phone day

After getting a really odd message, Miguel returned it.

"Look, I have no idea what kind of a threat that's supposed to be, but fine, I'll be there. I don't know what you think I can do about it just because I work in the shocking diner. You're the Englishman!"

Charlie got a confusing text from Graham, but hey, she was game.

Cats from the future? I have neither seen nor sent cats, but i'm in! By the way, I really enjoyed being with you Saturday night!

Because of the nature of these things, it was probably hard to tell exactly when the postcard from Summer had arrived in Steven's mailbox. Not that he himself was around to receive it right away, anyway, so it didn't really matter, but it would be there waiting for him whenever he did get back, with the message on the back written with a sparkly purple pen:

Greetings from Indonesia!

Not exactly space, but it is pretty fucking awesome! Hope you're having a grand old time freezing (probably) over in medieval fucking Canada right now! lol

Love,
~Summer~

Liz hadn't forgotten that it was Steven's birthday but it had taken her a while before she was able to sit down and send out a message, she finally got Noctra to sleep after her feed and sent Steven a message early that afternoon.

Hi Steven, sorry for the late message but I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, hope it's a nice day for you :)

[deathsmajesty]

Hello darling, forgive me for bothering you, but I was wondering if you knew Marc's favorite baked goods or the like? I'm looking for a 'thank you for saving me from plummeting to my death' gift, but none of my girlhood etiquette lessons covered that.

[mylandmyrules]

And early evening he'd get a text from Nell.

No get together tonight. Maybe we'll see you next week?

Hi Steven, it's Arden. Would it be all right if you asked Midnight to create outside stairs up to the roof that residents could ask to appear and then have them disappear? I don't know if that makes any sense. Like, I know it's a security risk to have outside stairs going up to the roof at all times but I was thinking stairs that could come out only when requested? I'm just asking because I ended up having a picnic on the roof, but I had to keep going down to let people in and I wasn't gonna let people climb up Midnight because that seemed like asking for trouble or just having people let themselves in because even if Midnight was okay with it, it seemed like a bad habit to get into and I was just thinking about how useful having exterior stairs might be but only if they appeared when requested and weren't there all the time. Okay thank you for reading!

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

At some point in the evening...

I won! I'm prom queen! along with a picture of Arden in a sparkly tiara looking smiley but also a little flabbergasted.

Phone Day!

"I didn't order three gallons of lube from you I didn't order anything! I don't even know what most of those things you said are!"

Dean frowned at the text message from Summer. What was with people and being random today.

So he sent her a text back:

I mean we are friends. I don't know about besties but there's room for improvement. I'm not upset about anything. Am I missing something here? Is this about the time I turned you down for sex because you're sleeping with Stark?"

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Arden was flailing because she didn't know what she'd done to earn this message from her landlord.

You can have sex with whoever you want and I'm super sorry if I gave you the impression I thought it was my business at all!

"Hi, Steven. I harvested a lot of my honey, but I left some to harvest with you if you're still interested. Maybe sometime next week? Let me know!"
