Mauvaise Chance Apartments, Roof, Wednesday Morning

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

It wasn't too early, but it was still a bit early when Cally hit the roof, a small bag over her shoulder.

She wasn't supposed to bring much with her. Besides, most of her baggage these days was emotional. It was time to wait for the Raptor.

...it was going to be a long two weeks.

[ooc: Open, if you like.]

Cally's cell phone rang. That is if she has a cell phone.

Cally reached into her bag. She'd brought her phone even if she was pretty sure Caprica would be a little bit out of satellite reach.

"Hello?"

"Cally? It's me, Annette. I'm so glad I caught you. I didn't get a chance to see you yesterday to say good-bye."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sorry about that," Cally said. "First Anders' fish died and... I just got caught up in stuff."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"No, it's okay. I was busy with cookies and selling and cheerleader type stuff." Pause. "I'm going to miss you. And I want you to be careful, and be safe...and all that, okay?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I promise," Cally said. "It's just basic training. It'll be perfectly safe, and I'll be back in two weeks."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"All right. Well, good luck Cally, and I'll talk with you when you get back. Take care, Bye!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Bye!" Cally said. "Good luck with cheerleading!"

Some how, possibly by way of a sneaky monkey, a bag of Swedish ginger snaps shaped like different stuff in Fandom (Cally's Viper, a gremlin, a lobster, Poe, a golf cart, etc.) had found it's way into Cally's bag.

Xander headed up to the roof with a box of his tools that had arrived among the other things from home, intending to stash them in the little corner he was turning into a workshop, and maybe get a bit more done on said turning. He stopped when he noticed Cally waiting up there.

"Hey. You need into the garage? Pretty sure it's unlocked, but if not I've got the keys. I need to make you one."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook her head, then realized. "Oh, frak, I didn't tell you, did I?"

[needsaparrot]

"That...you're suddenly allergic to grease?" Xander guessed.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"That I'm getting shipped off to basic training," Cally said. "I'm, umm, gonna be gone for two weeks."

[needsaparrot]

"Basic training like the army?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yeeeah," Cally said. "But actually the Colonial Defense Fleet."

[needsaparrot]

"Aren't you a little young to be joining up?" Which might possibly be in the running for Stupidest Question Ever, considering what Xander did for a living, and he knew it. So it was mostly wishful thinking.

"I'm, uhhh, eighteen," Cally said. "Been so for almost two weeks, now."

Mac had said she wanted to be here to see Cally off, so here she is, pouting just a little.

"You're really sure you have to go?" she asked plaintively.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Well, I think skipping out on something with the military leads to major, major badness," Cally said.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac wrinkled her nose, unfortunately that was probably true. She let out a resigned sigh, and nodded. "Probably not a good idea," she said. "Just my wishful thinking."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I like your wishful thinking," Cally said, reaching over to try and take Mac's hand.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"I'm just selfish and kinda want to keep you here with me," Mac admitted, squeezing Cally's hand. "But, yeah, I like it too right now."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Two weeks'll be over super super fast," Cally said. "And I'll, like, write you and stuff. So it'll all be okay."

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

"Can you write here from space?" Mac asked curiously. She couldn't help but wonder about the logisics of that.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I... will try?" Cally said.
