Baxter Building; NYC; Johnny's room - Saturday night

[fantastic_torch]

Ever since leaving Fandom, and more importantly Savannah, Johnny loved his beer. Like more than usual. He also was kind of moody and cranky and his room was a mess. He didn't allow Sue in. Much.

So when he woke this morning to a scantily clad woman peering down at him, he had to chuckle. Leave it to Sue to hire hot help to kick his ass into shape.

The girl wasn't cleaning, however, she was climbing into bed with him.

"Whoa, wait there..." he said and scrambled to the other side until he slipped off and thudded to the floor.

"But Johnny, I thought you loved me," she teased with a grin, running her finger from her lip to her cleavage.

"Uh. Did I get trashed last night and can't remember what the hell happened?" If so? Shiiiiiiiit.

She shook her head. "No, not at all. But don't you recognize me? I'm your bud."

...

The hours that followed were nearly mind numbing.

Currently he sat on his sofa and watched CNN. His Bud? On the seat next to him, making sure he had a fresh beer in hand.

Johnny was sort of in a chillaxed zoned out state of mind.

Grimoire Two had the attention span of a fruit fly, apparently, which was why she'd snatched Eve's cell phone as soon as she got a chance despite Eve's warnings to leave her shit alone.

She picked a number at random and dialed.

"Yo?" Johnny said after debating whether or not to actually answer.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" she chirped. "I'm Grimoire Two. What's your name?"

She also had no social skills, from the sound of it.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He was kind of too drunk to catch on to that.

"Johnny. What's yours?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Grimoire Two, silly, like I said!"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Right. And... do I know you?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Of course you do, silly. And you know my owner, too!"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Grimoire. Grimoire.

"Uhh..." he should get this by now. "Why are you number two?"

'Cause hey, number two wasn't number one, so who was number one?

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Because I'm the good one," she said. "My sister's number one 'cause she's the more interesting one."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

He snapped his fingers. "I know this! I do. I know this...

He was thinking and while he was thinking Bud took the phone from his hand.

"Hello, sweetie."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Is Johnny drunk?"

Aww, silly grimoire. Of course he was!

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

She giggled and watched Johnny drop on the sofa.

"Maybe a little bit. Don't worry, he's in capable hands."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good," Grimoire Two said, relieved. "I don't think my owner would be too happy if we let him get broken."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Who is your owner?" Bus asked.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Eve Levine."

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

Bud even. Bud looked over at Johnny and said: "Johnny, Eve Levine is the owner of Grimoire Two."

There was the sound of scuffling and then a soft thump with a whispered: "Stay."

"Ah, hey, uh. It's me again. So. Is your... is Eve there?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Grimoire Two said cheerfully.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Aw, thank God. You'll not tell her about this conversation, will you?"

Bad, Johnny. Bad.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Why would I?"

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"There's just no point. So good. No reason to," he said. Last thing he needed was Eve calling Savannah telling her there was a girl hanging out with him.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Besides, what's there to tell? I called you and you had a friend over."

Grimoire Two had her moments of sneakiness. That was about the limits, though.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"No. There was no friend over. It was... my sister! Sue!"

Johnny was smart.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"That was your sister?"

Grimoire Two was slow on the uptake here.

[fantastic-torch.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he totally lied. "Sue. She's a pain but what can you do. I drink, she think she's got to take care of me."

Bud settled her hands on her hips, pouting at him.

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Oh." She frowned. "That makes sense... I guess..."
