Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:15 pm

Moira: That's wot you get for interruptin' it! Bye!

She disconnects the phone, looking at Ben.

Moira: You ain't gonna believe this....

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:30 pm

Ben: Funny...I was just about to say the same thing to you....

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:31 pm

Moira: Why? Wot 'appened now?

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:35 pm

Ben: Well...it's really amazing, Moira....I mean....truly this...thing is of epic proprotions. I really....really think you need to see it...up close...

He smirks...

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:43 pm

Moira smirks.

Moira: I'm quite aware of the size of your package, than you.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:46 pm

Ben: Ah...but did you know it could split a peach in half with a single blow?

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:49 pm

Moira rolls her eyes.

Moira: I was bein' serious. Shawn an' Raquel are apparently a couple now.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:50 pm

Ben: All the more reason that we should have wild jungle sex now...we won't have an opportunity later.

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:53 pm

Moira: I suppose the rest of the news can wait then.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:54 pm

Ben: Moira...it's only three hours and a victory lap. How much worse can it get in that time frame?

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:56 pm

Moira: Considerin' the conversation wot I jus' 'ad... it's gonna take a lot for you to earn a victory lap. An' now that you said that, I expect the apocalypse in about 5 minutes.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 10:59 pm

Ben: Oh?

Ben stands and picks Moira up again...

Ben: You DARE challenge the black man's stroke? This shall not stand. JARVIS...HOLD ALL MY CALLS! Daddy has some work to do...

The door slamms....hard...

Pockets Thu Mar 10, 2011 11:18 pm

Three hours later, Moira is asleep again.

Cryonix Thu Mar 10, 2011 11:22 pm

Ben sits in the chair next to the bed with a lit cigar...

Ben: Heh...muthafuckin' black dynamite....

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:58 pm

Some time later, Moira wakes up and notices Ben on the phone. She pouts.

Moira: I thought you said you weren't gonna do that today....

Cryonix Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:10 pm

Ben holds his finger up and continues to listen intently. Finally, after about three minutes...

Ben: Thanks, Dave. I knew I remembered it from somewhere. Yeah, I gotta run. Keep an eye on it for me.

Ben hangs up the phone and looks at Moira...

Ben: That was Dave Milsap, an investment banker in Ireland. Honey, did you know that Caley is paying this Nuada or whatever his name is forty five thousand dollars a month in 'church offerings'?

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:12 pm

Moira sits up.

Moira: Are you serious?

Cryonix Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:15 pm

Ben: Yeah. Dave is the one handling Caley's father's estate. He left her...quite a bit of money when he passed...and now....Caley maybe has $175,000 left....out of a $35 million dollar inheratance. She's signed over the house, the boat, all of the cars...

...In like four months....maybe less...Caley will have...NOTHING. No home...nothing.

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:18 pm

Moira: An' will no longer bey the "loit bearer", roit?

Cryonix Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:24 pm

Ben: That's what the M.O. of this guy is. Apparently his retirement fund is made up of all the money he milked from his....'light bearers'.

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:27 pm

Moira grabs her abandoned phone.

Moira: You ain't the only one wot needs to make phone call...

She calls Ashley.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:48 pm

"o'ryan"

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:56 pm

Moira: Ash, I got some news on this Nuala guy.

Jabberwocky Fri Mar 11, 2011 6:56 pm

"oh?

Pockets Fri Mar 11, 2011 7:02 pm

Moira: The only reason Caley is 'is "loit bearer" is she is givin' that church a shite load of money, jus' about everythin' wot she 'as.
