New York City, NY, Thursday Morning

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy and Juliet had decided to stay in New York after Thanksgiving, when news from Fandom had started sounding like trouble might have been brewing, and they had wanted no real part of it. While Jeremy might've sort of been missing someone, it hadn't been that hard a decision to wait things out. This was home, and the party scene had welcomed them back with open arms.

Besides, Jeremy would have been lying if he'd claimed he hadn't missed his own bedroom. It was the size of a common room back at the dorms, and it had most of his stuff in it, too. What was there not to like? So far this morning, he'd only climbed out of bed for long enough to open the door and let Midas in the room. Now, the dog was lounging next to him on the bed, his head resting against Jeremy's leg.

Jeremy felt so at home, so at ease. Maybe he could even get one of the maids to bring him breakfast.

"Sofia!" he called out. No answer. He tried again. "Sofia? Come on, Sofia!"

After a few more times, he was frowning, though mildly. Maybe the maid just didn't hear him.

"Did she take the day off?" Juliet asked, equally puzzled as she wandered into the room. "She didn't make my bed this morning. I did it myself."

She was proud of that, yes.

[OOC: I have been meaning to make a post like this all week. I <3 you.]

[stars_and_money]

Well, it was definitely something. Jeremy raised his eyebrows. "You made your bed." He glanced around himself. His bed was a happy mess. And had a big dog on it as well. "Dude, I'm not gonna do that. D'you really think she has a day off?"

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"They have to, right?" Juliet said, flopping onto the bed and giving the dog a rub. "It's labor law, or something."

[stars_and_money]

"Well, yeah," Jeremy replied, considering it with a mild frown. "But I just talked to her last night. You'd think she would've said something."

Probably not.

He shrugged. "Guess I have to get my own breakfast."

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"Maybe she's mad," Juliet suggested. "I hope she's not mad. We could give her flowers or something."

She glanced over. "Get mine too?"

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Hey, look, a text!

Are you guys here?

Way to be on top of things, Miley.

[stars_and_money]

And here Jeremy had been thinking of asking her to get the breakfast. Sigh. He patted Midas' head and freed his leg from under it, getting up.

"Any preferences, sis?"

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy raised his eyebrow at that. Lazily.

depends. wheres here?

That was almost an existential question!

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

He was so deep.

Fandom!

Wait...

Or anywhere. You still exist, right?

No, Miley. Jeremy had been Nothinged and now he was texting you back.

[stars_and_money]

Oh, Miley.

uh yeah i think so. but we r home in nyc.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

K good. I stopped by your room the other day to thank you for the necklace, but you weren't there. Was hoping you didn't disappear. :)

[stars_and_money]

nope, we're all here. totally normal.

Actually, they just hadn't noticed the disappearances that had occurred. Oops.

just chillin.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Sweet.

Not that she was done freaking out. She wasn't. But last night had given her a sense of temporary calm.

Which would soon be destroyed by Pinkie's class. Anyway.

Thnx for the necklace, BTW. It's really cute.

[stars_and_money]

glad you like it, i thought it would suit u. sorry we couldn't come to ur party. portalocity was stupid.

Or they'd been too insistent on traveling first class.

"Multigrain toast and a protein smoothie?" Juliet asked hopefully, then deflated. "... or just juice, if nobody's around to find the blender."

Not having servants, it was painful.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

No prob, it was pretty chill. I miss LA parties. Anything cool going on in NYC?

[stars_and_money]

"I'll do my best." To find someone to find the blender. He was not going to put that much effort into it. "Back in just mo'."

He saluted her, before exiting the room.

[stars_and_money]

parties. people. party people.

Jeremy was a man of simple pleasures.

how's fandom?

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Weird. Lucky you left. People are totally freaking.

Like, you know. Her. In particular.

[stars_and_money]

i heard annie on the radio.

That really said enough about that subject, didn't it?

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

It really did.

She needs to get some help.

Like, immediately.

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Juliet said, already going into her pocket for her phone to check the gossip sites. Not that she cared much, but it was a little weird how they'd all forgotten about the Kardashians all of a sudden.

[stars_and_money]

she's stressed out.

And he was going to refrain from pointing out what Miley had sounded like on her latest radio shift.

r u ok?

... Except for that.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Hey, this was texting. She could totally fib over texts.

Totally. This just has to get fixed already, 'cause no way am I staying here over Christmas just 'cause my world is still all weird.

For one thing, there was that duet she was supposed to do with Sheryl Crow.

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy came back after some time, carrying a tray filled with various breakfast type things, healthy for her and less healthy for him.

He also looked a little confused.

"Hey," he said, setting the tray on the bed, "do you think Mom's old enough to start getting, like, whatever it is that old people get where they start forgetting stuff?"

[stars_and_money]

good good

Yes, Jeremy was inclined to believe her. More or less.

it'll blow over soon i'm sure. fandom brainiacs are on it.

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

There was totally like a line of people at the library the other day. Encouraging.

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"Like, Alzheimer's?" Juliet asked, reaching her fingers out for a bit of toast. "I guess. She's been kind of weird since we got here. Maybe there's something going on with the company."

[stars_and_money]

see? no sweat. it'll be back to normal in no time, always is.

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy flopped down and made a lazy gesture to discourage Midas from pushing his face on the stuff on the tray. Mostly because if they let him, the dog would eat it all.

"I'm just wondering," he shared, "'cause she didn't know we had a maid called Sofia."

[its-theclimb.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Thnx. :)

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

Juliet gasped. "Do you think she got fired?"

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy made a clicking sound against the roof of his mouth, taking that idea in. "Maybe she screwed something up."

And now she was being treated as never having been there? Hey, it had probably happened with the help before.

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"I figure Ellen must have," Juliet shared. "Patrick was alone at dinner and nobody said her name, remember? It's like we're shunning people now."

How Amish.

[stars_and_money]

Jeremy reached for his cup of coffee.

"Must be our new thing." No, twins. No. "It's kinda Amish-y. I don't know if I like it."

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

"I don't," Juliet -- who had been reading a self-help book --volunteered. "We should talk freely about what's bothering us. It's supposed to be therapeutic."

Not that she was rushing downstairs to confront Letitia. She was gearing up.

[stars_and_money]

"You should tell Mom that," Jeremy replied, and it could've even been sincere. He was acting too lazy to really be sure. "We should... totally talk about the staff pissing us off."
