The Roof: Saturday Evening

After seeing a wee and colonial version of his roommate this morning, Jamie had handwavily spent the day wandering the dorm to find out exactly what was going on. It didn't take him long to realize that it was happening again.

His first stop after the realization was the boiler room, but the crystal shard that caused the problem last year was completely gone. Lacking any other... sane resource, Jamie headed to the roof to make contact with the one person who would know exactly what is going on.

It had been a long time since he dialed this phone number. He only hoped that the specific person back in New York would pick up.

[ooc: First thread locked to... well one "person". Open after that.]

The phone only rang once.

"It's not what you think," the girl's voice chirped.

Jamie sighed. "You know most people actually say 'Hello' first."

"I'm not most people. I'm Layla Miller," she replied cheerfully.

Jamie was already regretting making this phone call. "Listen..."

"It's not the shard. It's not the Tryps. It's not Wanda making bizarre declarations regarding your school. There's not any of Xavier's illegitimate kids playing causing alternate timelines and Jean Grey is still dead," Layla said in a bored tone.

"So what the hell is causing this?" Jamie asked.

[identity profile] multi-madrox.livejournal.com 2008-01-20 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
"Beats the hell out of me."

"I thought you knew everything," Jamie snarked.

"I know stuff," Layla snarked back. "If I knew everything, I'd say I knew everything. Don't mess with my catchphrase bitch."

"You really have no idea?"

"Maybe the universe hiccuped. I don't know," Layla shrugged. "Just don't mess with too many people's heads this weekend. They'll have enough to deal with when it goes back to normal. Don't worry, it won't upset our eventual marriage."

"Oh... God. Just... Stop saying that!"

"Bye Jamie! Have fun at Caritas tomorrow!"

And with that there was a click and the sound of a dial tone.

Jamie glared at the phone. "I DON'T LIKE YOU AT ALL!"
