Gabrielle's Greece, Amazon Settlement, By the River, Probably Sunday

[thatsamilkshake]

After the on-again-off-again of this trip Francine hadn't even considered that they might get cell phone reception in Ancient Greece until someone else tried it. Now, though, she was having second thoughts about calling people, considering there was no way to re-charge the battery once it ran down. On the other hand, there was no point in having reception if she kept it turned off, so...

So she and Katchoo headed out to sit by the side of the river on a blanket that probably used to be part of an animal, and text. Or at least let certain people know they were able to receive them.

If Francine eeped and check her own arms for one just in case, there was no one there to see it but Katchoo.

Francine was pretty damned good at translating Merlinspeak and even so, she was left with:

Katchoo might, just saying, break her phone over her own head with facepalm before this conversation was over.

what the hell did you two do NOW?

Re: Texts to Katchoo!

[bitchprince]

There was, say, a two minute lapse before Arthur managed to send anything back.

Giant spiders are not an appropriate time for him to be text messaging, he wrote back, Most useless wizard ever.

Re: Texts to Katchoo!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"GIANT SPIDERS?!?"

Oh, right, text message.

GIANT SPIDERS WHAT? what the hell are you guys, the orkin man now?

Reports said something was feeding off livestock in villages just past the lower town. Knights scattered. Turned out to be a neso bugger

Be lucky Katchoo couldn't convey the full extent of her sarcasm through text messages, Arthur.

oh. is that all? well, gee. IDIOTS.

Re: Texts to Katchoo!

[bitchprince]

Yes. Well, he'd be properly grateful about that. Later. Much, much later.

Five minutes later, she got a Oh for the love of god WHO SETS SPIDERS ON FIRE WE ARE IN A FOREST

What, like they're not going to be.

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

At some point between texts Katchoo snapped her phone shut and looked over. "Francine, we know the most hopeless people ever."

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thatsamilkshake]

You may have to narrow that down a li--

Francine coughed, closed her phone, and tried not to blush when she repeated said, "You may have to narrow that down a little."

What? She was in the habit now!

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Ones who pick the stupidest times ever to send text messages?" Katchoo prompted. "Do I have to spell it out? Geez."

Yeah, Chewie, you might have to.

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thatsamilkshake]

"No!" Francine protested. "I was just being... you know. Inclusive. They're not the only hopeless people we know." Just... possibly the most, yes.

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"I usually take that as a given with most people we know," Katchoo pointed out. "They're the ones who made it actually necessary to mention out loud again."

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thatsamilkshake]

"Point," said Francine. Then, "Giant spider." And because the choice was laughing or freaking out... "GIANT. FRIKKING. SPIDER."

She sort went for a combination?

Re: Toongirl Facepalming

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"What's next?" It was hard to sound as outright complainy as Katchoo wanted to when the edge of hysterical laughter kept bleeding into her voice. "A centipede the size of a castle? Why is something always trying to eat them?"

OOC

It's hot. I want central air.
