closed ♐ ring ring ring david phone

[generaldavideus]

[Calls to - Zatana Zatara, Lissa Dragomir, Thoster Chatwyn, Brantley River.]

[He calls them each individually, because what is text messaging, and while he's excited about this he's also nervous that they can't come/won't be available/what have you. But it's also a really short list because he's an antisocial jerkface.

Moving on.

He waits until the person on the other end of the line picks up, and all the calls start the same way.]

Hey, it's David. Do you have a minute?

[Thoster picks up after a few rings. He knows how to work the phone by now but its still not second nature.]

Of course, friend. Something wrong?

[generaldavideus]

No, not at all.

[He just sounds ... the same as he always does.]

I'm getting promoted, actually.

[cigam]

For you? I've got two.

[fixyourproblem]

[Oh look who decided to call. He picks up the phone cheerfully.]

Yeah, of course. Need something?

[bluffcheck]

Oh yeah? Well, that's fantastic! When's the big day?

[generaldavideus]

April 6th. I was wondering if you'd come to the ceremony.

[generaldavideus]

I wanted to let you know that I'm getting promoted.

[generaldavideus]

[He smiles a bit at that, before continuing.]

I'm getting promoted, on the sixth. I was wondering of you'd like to come.

[cigam]

Let me guess. Dragon's Biceps?

[generaldavideus]

[The smile turns to a smirk.]

The Hide, yeah.

[cigam]

I'd act surprised, but that'd be disingenuous. Congratulations, however.

[fixyourproblem]

Really? That's great. Congratulation! Dragon's hide, right?

[bluffcheck]

Wouldn't miss it for the world, friend.

[lastdragomir]

Of course! [ she seems happy to hear from him. ] Go for it.

[generaldavideus]

I'm getting promoted. I know you're out of the castle right now, but I was wondering if you would be back in time to go to the ceremony.

[generaldavideus]

[He smiles a bit, his voice brightening on the phone.]

Great. It's going to be the sixth.

[generaldavideus]

Dragon's Hide.

[there's a beat.]

I was wondering if you'd come to the ceremony.

[generaldavideus]

Thank you. Hopefully I'll see you there?

[cigam]

You can count on it.

[fixyourproblem]

Of course! I'd be honored to! Just tell me the time and place and you'll see me in the front row.

[bluffcheck]

I'll mark it on my calendar.

[AND I WILL GO TAG THAT POST FINALLY JFC IM SORRY I SUCK.]

[lastdragomir]

Oh. [ oh. she wants to go, especially because david is inviting her. but if she goes back... she'll stay. and there is a reason she left. ] I. I don't think I can. But congratulations! I'm so proud of you.

[generaldavideus]

Thank you. And it's okay.

[He figured she would be busy, considering she just left, but he felt he should ask all the same.]

Just didn't feel right not asking.

[generaldavideus]

I'll see you then.

[IT'S COOL IT HAPPENS.]

[generaldavideus]

It'll be on the sixth. [INSERT TIME AND PLACE HERE.]

I'll see you there.

[generaldavideus]

Great.

[And with that, he'll awkwardly say his goodbyes and move on to the next name on his list!]
