I guess I can postpone my first date AGAIN

Well, not, I am postponing this date
But, I'm also in
How can I not be?

[saveslives]

Thank you.

I'm not pulling in the girls yet. I'll leave them everything in case this goes bad but they're Plan B. I know they won't like it.

[But she's their mother, damnit, and she will protect them if she chooses to.]

Also, you don't have to postpone your date. Bonnie isn't going to be getting anything until next week.

[geminated]

Even better, Luke. A date for the end of the world.

[She will bug him about who the new guy is later.]

[saveslives]

While I'm not bringing the girls, we probably need all the hands we can get. If you have any witch friends who might be on board, allies are going to be important.

[drugdeals]

Clients don't usually do me those kind of favors. Shep?

I LIED

[pricetags]

I can pull in a friend of mine.

[drugdeals]

Is this your friend from Thanskgiving? Jo's husband liked her.

DONE

[pricetags]

Yes, it is

Tell Annie thank you for us. I'll share more details as I get them.

[And with that she will put the chat to the side for now and move on to the harder part of briefing her husband. She has a feeling there might be a small fight about it.]

[pricetags]

( Getting up from his hanging seat, he slips his flip-flops on, puts on his caftan, and leaves his room. Annie's a few rooms away, so he knocks, lightly. )

An, you in there?

[dupes]

Not yet.

[She's heading back from a meeting with Abernathy, coordinating some responses to some current problems, and was intending to head to bed, but Shep has his "I wanna talk" face on.

She opens the door to her room, before gesturing for him to move in ahead of her.]

Drink?

[pricetags]

Maybe later. ( He shuts the door behind him. ) My sister raised the bat signal. She thinks there may be a way to break our family's curse. My nieces happened to escape it, but, we could put the kibosh on it forever. No more merge. But, we're going to need some firepower.

[dupes]

Well, firepower we can do.

[It certainly to her seems like a curse worth breaking.]

What do we know about it?

[pricetags]

That it's going to take a coven. And, that it's all hands on deck. I was thinking, maybe you wanted to throw your hand in.

( This is him basically asking her. )

[daydrinker]

( Her husband is going over his occult lecture for tomorrow in their living room. A glass of bourbon sits, untouched, probably poured by habit. )

Were you on the phone with Bonnie?

[saveslives]

I was.

[She moves to sit next to him and will actually take that glass of bourbon because man it has been a day.]

Ezra dropped by my office today. There may be a way to finally break the curse.

[daydrinker]

( He taps the pen repetitiously as he reads, and then stops. He turns to face her. )

Ezra Katz? ( Or whatever his name is. ) He came to you now? After giving you the runaround at their house.

[saveslives]

Knowing what I know about it now, I can understand why David was reticent. Ezra claims it was tied into cloaking the remaining bodies of the Inner Circle.

[She doesn't know much, but she does know that.]

[daydrinker]

He also claimed they had their own agenda from the beginning. ( He takes the glass, too, sipping, before slipping an arm around her. ) That does add up.

[geminated]

[She will swap into the text thread with her brother, as she also has no allies to reach out to if Bonnie's already involved.]

New guy already? What would I-Can't-Even-Remember-His-Name say?

[Is she delaying Tyler that she may have agreed to something reckless? Maybe.]

[drugdeals]

He would say I lied about my dead brother.

Robin didn't even know I had a dead brother. He does now. He's psychic. Dreamed about me and everything.

[geminated]

[And because they're them and this is their lives she has to ask:]

Wait, really? Or is that some kind of weird euphemism.

[drugdeals]

What would it be a euphemism for?

[geminated]

I don't know! I haven't been single in over a decade.

Sounds like an interesting guy. Is it just the visions?

[drugdeals]

Literally dreamed, Liv. Saved me from some witches that had a bead on me. I think one of my clients sold me out.

I think so. But there's gotta be something back in his lineage. He insisted we talk to his sister about it. Oh yeah, I met his sister. She's cheeky. I like her.
