You've reached Lust. I'm not available at the moment, please leave a message.

If it's important enough, I'll get back to you.

<sub>[There is a delay. And footsteps. And suddenly:]

[BAM!]

[A frazzled photographer kicks open Lust's door with the 'gear held out before him.]</sub>

WATCH! Watch what happens when I try to call someone!

[a_sin_for_him]

[She isn't expecting that. Hardly anyone comes into her room, and never without knocking or asking. She reacts on instinct, jumping out of bed and reaching for whatever she could close her hand on and use as a weapon.

Which leaves her standing beside her bed in a small tank top and panties, brandishing a very perplexed Swirlix at Henry.]

What is wrong with you?!?!

[no_ufo_ending]

<sub>[Henry is momentarily stunned as his brain catches up with his actions.]

[BUT NO. HE MUST SHARE THE TRUTH!]

[Panties or no panties, Lust is going to see him dial for his best friend on the stupid little device. He stalks forward, brandishing it like a vampire hunter with a stake having cornered some kind of night beast.]</sub>

WATCH.

<sub>[Henry stares at Lust with those thousand-yard stare eyes. He stares into her very SOUL (or lack thereof) as he blindly hits a few keys on the 'gear. Indeed, Envy's username lights up. He presses the select key and he WAITS.]





[Nothing happens.]</sub>

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy's half-asleep voice comes out of the speakers.]

Henry? What's everyone yelling about, did something catch on fire?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's hardened expression fades in favor of blinking in confusion before turning the 'gear around an staring stupidly at the screen.]}

...Envy?

[a_sin_for_him]

[Lust simply watches Henry with annoyed eyes, finally setting aside her Swirlix when Henry calls Envy. She is utterly unimpressed with this display.]

...you called Envy. What am I supposed to be seeing? Oh, god...hand me a handkerchief, please, thanks to you my hands are all sticky now.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's mouth moves but no sound comes out right away.]}

It was supposed to... but it always...and you thought...

_{[He promptly (and rudely) hangs up on Envy but doesn't take his eyes off the 'gear.]}

I've lost my mind. That's what this is. I've finally gone crazy. It finally happened.

[a_sin_for_him]

Oh, I think that happened some time ago.

[Lust sighs and finds a napkin to wipe off her hands, covered in bits of cotton candy like stickiness.]

So you subconsciously call me sometimes, it's nothing to get this worked up over. Why don't I get you that milk? I have chocolate, if you prefer...

[no_ufo_ending]

But I don't. I even got a brand new device and every--

[CHOCOLATE MILK??????]

[Henry recoils like a vampire, slamming the door as he exits.]

[Well, that happened.]
