[Despite everything that's happened in the last few days, Steph looks positively cheery as she comes onto the screen, dressed in civvies with her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail. She might not have worn the particular suit for a couple years now, but she's all Robin, all grins and charm, because she doesn't have the energy to be anything else.]

Hey, guys, I know this is kinda last minute, but there's been a change in plans with the whole cookie thing this month. [She holds up a hand as if silencing comments that aren't actually going to come, because this is pre-recorded.] I know, I know, I'm not exactly the regular guy that does this, but don't adjust your sets, Jesse's just come down with a hell of a cold, so I'm gonna run things this time 'round.

For those of you who don't know, I'm Steph, hi, I don't bite very hard.

[Steph pls]

Since Jesse's sick, we figured it'd be best not to cook in his kitchen, 'cause I'm sure we don't wanna give the newbies the sniffles when they first show up. If anyone who's normally involved would like to volunteer their kitchen to be the base of operations, I would love you forever, but if not we can just use my place, 104.

[And a briefly apologetic look because she hasn't actually asked her roommates. Sorry guys.]

We'll still be doing it on the 31st, starting early and hopefully finishing early so we can all head over to Ella's party, and the tent will be set up at the same time on the first, you'll just have me co-ordinating things intead of Jesse.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, now's the time to voice them, if not, I'll see you on the 31st, either at mine, or I'll update this if we get a volunteer.

Thanks.

[A lazy salute, and the feed cuts.]



[[OOC: Same ooc stuff applies; there won't be a log for this but feel free to say characters participated! The thread in the welcome log will still go up and everything will go the same, it'll just be Steph instead of Jesse wrangling things c: ]]

[She's metaphorically circled this entry for a bit. A few hours have passed before Lisbeth finally replies to it.]

Thanks.

No problem.

[She still doesn't like Jesse, but she's not going be a dick to Lisbeth about it.]

How is he?

[There's an obvious hitch over the feed as Lisbeth hesitates. Normally, she never talked about their fights when things like this would happen. This time, his bout of paranoia was something more extreme than when he was high so it was even more alarming.]

I got so fed up the other day that I drank the beer he was weary about out of spite.

[Maybe you should just leave him probably isn't helpful advice, but god is she tempted to say it.]

I'm sorry. [and despite that thought, she is, because she likes Lisbeth and wants her to be happy.] If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, yeah?

[Lisbeth was also really dumb to have let that slip.]

Just let me know when you want to go to training together again.

I should be back in the swing of things come Monday.

[She might even let Lisbeth win next time.]

[hejhej]

Monday works.

[Bring it.]

[controlledvariable]

I'll be there with bells on.

[Not really, but you know.]

You sure there's nothing else I can do?

private | encoded

[hejhej]

No. We've been through this before.

[Well. Not of this magnitude, but Steph didn't need to know the super gory details.]

We'll be fine.

[She wonders if Lisbeth knows what Jesse tried to do, and wishes she could tell her, or say something, but it's really not her place.]

I hope so.

[For Lisbeth's sake, not Jesse's.]
