Suite 518/520, Friday night

[demonbelthazor]

Bel didn't feel up to a noisy common room, so he retreated to his room. Distracting himself only worked so far, and then the crush of his current situation came back. He should be out hunting, trying to find the witch Raynor wanted, but he still couldn't bring himself to do it.

So for now Strifenova Celestial would do instead.

[ooc: waiting for a phone call, but open.]

Aaaaaaaaaaaand that would be Bel's phone ringing about now.

[demonbelthazor]

Bel didn't recognize the number. It wasn't likely Raynor would be using the phone to get in touch with him, so he cautiously answered. "Hello?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"That you, Bel?" asked Anders. The rhythmic thudding in the background was probably his head against the wall.

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, what's up?" Bel asked. "Where are you?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders laughed sheepishly. "The, uh, Baltimore city jail? I got one phone call, so."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel laughed. "Dude, you're in jail? What the hell happened?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Not funny, man," grumbled Anders. "I was roadieing for Zero's band and there was a big frakking fight."

[demonbelthazor]

"And you're calling me to get you off or something?" Bel said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

There was a distinctly strangled cough, or maybe it was a squeaking sound, from the other end of the line. "I'm stuck in a jail cell with Zero, Parker, Chad, Nadia, Pippi, and a bunch of bikers, and I'm not even from this planet -- how the frak am I gonna explain that?"

[demonbelthazor]

"You are so screwed," Bel said solemnly. "Be careful about, you know, bending over and picking up the soap."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thanks, that's just what I wanted to use my one phone call for," Anders snapped. "Frakking tease."

[demonbelthazor]

"What was that?" Bel said. "So, you've got one phone call, and you call me. What are you hoping for here?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Nothing, nothing!" Not that Anders wasn't mouthing "frakking tease" with his hand over the receiver again or anything. "I don't know! Can't you bail me out or something?"

[demonbelthazor]

Bel snickered. "I love it when you beg. So what's in it for me?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Anything you want at this point," Anders said desperately. "I think Parker's going to kill me any minute."

[demonbelthazor]

"Parker's there, too?" Bel said. "Oh, this I gotta see."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"She is so going to kill me even more for telling you this, isn't she?" groaned Anders. "Bad enough I'm gonna have to literally watch my ass all night, but I have to watch out for her too? Dude, please. You gotta get me out of here."

[demonbelthazor]

"What's your bail set at?" Bel asked. "I don't exactly have a lot of cash here. Or are you looking for a jailbreak?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thousand bucks," Anders said slowly. "Each. Which I have, but that doesn't do me any good on this side of the bars."

[demonbelthazor]

"I don't have it, but I can shimmer in there and save your ass for myself," Bel said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"It's all yours, baby. Could you? Before Parker kills me? I'm gonna owe you big time for this, man."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel grinned. "I'll be there in a few minutes."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Thanks. I mean it," Anders told him, before hanging up the phone.
