...Ophs? You're out here somewhere right? [Why hello desperation in Eddie's voice. He hasn't been able to find anyone, consider him worried.]

You find some place nice to stay at least? Some place safe?

Of course, I was just trying to not seem possessive.

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[meanwhile Eddie is just- weirdly needy today. BEST NOT TO ASK WHY.]

Yeah- I guess that's good. I just haven't seen you around and- [Awkward wave of his hand. The video feed jutters because of this.]

[girlofthedusk.livejournal.com]

Asking me on a date?

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[have a brief blink, not his original intent. But he sort of likes that idea. It eases the neediness some.]

Yeah- maybe we could do somethin' together?

[girlofthedusk.livejournal.com]

Of course, where to and what?

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[Okay that earns a flicker of his usual smile.] How about just walkin' round, if either of us get hungry we can hit a resturant or somethin'.

We'll meet at Chelsea park and work our way around there?

[girlofthedusk.livejournal.com]

Alright then, I'll be there in a minute. You better not be late.

[Video ---> In Person]

I'd never keep you waitin'.

[And as stated, he's here, on time. There might just be a smile playing on his lips because he is happy to be able to be around Ophelia. Needy roadie is oddly needy.]

[girlofthedusk.livejournal.com]

Well, thats good, Eddie. [she brushes some of her hair over her shoulder.]

[In Person]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

Ey, wouldn't be fair if I kept you waitin' when I called out to you. [His smile is still easy, he reaching out to gently take her hand in his own.]

[There's a sound of his hand smacking to his forehead.]

Okay, Eddie, I can't stand this. This chick you're with killed you and you're trusting her? Why?

[Yes, Sheldon finally stepped in only because he's had the same thing happen to him in his world and was blindsided....who watched as the doctor took his eyes because he trusted a woman that he thought was on his side who turned out to be the daughter of a cartel drug lord. He knows about betrayal.]

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

Because she's my girlfriend. Why shouldn't I trust her? [Have a defensive sounding roadie.] We agreed to work on what we've got goin' on, so there's no real problem for now.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Oh. Yeah, see I couldn't figure that part out but now it makes sense. You're whipped. I would say poor you but that's a choice you made. Can't really say that it's one of the best I've heard but okay.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

I ain't whipped. [Aggravated noise, but Eddie's not freaking out over being called whipped.] The two of us came to an agreement about things. So its gonna work out.

An its not like I'm blind to how fucked up we are, I know we're gonna fight. Hell some part of me is still pissed at her, but I'm not gonna just stop seein' her.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

I don't know of any relationship that doesn't have any fights. Just don't make the mistake I did and lose your eyes for it.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

I meant the fight we had last time, s'more than just verbal stuff.

...I'll keep that in mind, I'm sure we'll be okay though.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Ah. Perhaps you should consider counseling.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

We already have someone whose gonna be our inbetween so we can avoid killin' each other.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Please tell me this person's armed and he's not playing Dr. Phil. [He sounds like he's half begging.]

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

S'Kuja, he's got magic so we'd be alright. [Which is probably not the answer Sheldon wanted to hear.]

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

[A loud snort and a cough] So you trade one psycho-nut for another. Nice.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[Audible sigh.] Kuja isn't a psycho, he's a little odd at times but he's alright. [Once again, this is Eddie blindly trusting people.] He's gonna help keep things level.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

I hope you're right for your sake. [No sense in telling Eddie something that he only has a hunch on which isn't a good sign.]

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

If I'm not, I'll learn from it. This whole thing has been a learnin' experience.

[Voice/ Filtered to Eddie]

[sands-in-mexico.livejournal.com]

Good luck to you.

[Hangs up the phone.]

[Ed's grinning avatar pops up, actually looking a bit worried for once with its eyes wide]

Is Eddie okay?

[Voice, my icon]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

[Have some obvious relief in Eddie's voice dear Ed-] Yeah, I'm good kiddo, I just couldn't find anybody for awhile, it was makin' me worry somethin' happened to all of you.

[Voice, my icon]

[radical-edward0.livejournal.com]

Don't worry! Edward is fine! Nothing happened to Edward! Did something happen to Eddie?

[Voice, my icon]

[kingroadie.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that kiddo. I always worry bout you, s'my job being your sort of dad an all. [He chuckles a little at that.] Naw, I'm good. Just worryin' bout you and a few other people. They're probably all fine as it is.
