[when he appears he looks more like an unmade bed than usual. His eyes are red rimmed and bloodshot. There's an obvious hotel room behind him and more than one empty bottle of something someone with a heart condition really shouldn't be drinking-- and it shows]

Congratulations,

You win. You've got it all. Magic, reincarnation, astral fucking projection for all I know. You don't really belong in this normal world, you're not just another bloody sheep, you're something better. Something more.

Good for you and I hope it doesn't blow up in your bloody face.

'Bye.

[and he hangs up. Or at least covers the phone with his hand which is the same thing]

YOU are not fine! NONE of THIS is FINE!

Mmf. [he's not going to tell you. There's a reason he's here after all. So sod off]

[serpentinthegarden]

Alec! Talk to me... Are you there with some one?

Video

[scotch_egg]

Yeah. [no]

[who the hell would he even be here with?]

[he doesn't have the money for one thing]

[ A hooker? I mean... some of them were more reasonably priced than others.

Still Anthony rubbed his hands over his face trying to muster a sense of patience he did not have. ]

What ever this is about the drinkings not going to help it... I've tried that. You just pass out and have more memories. Let me bring you to my place. We can have breakfast and just... glare at the walls.

[he shudders at the thought of another one of those. But it's inevitable isn't it? Whether he drinks or not.]

D'n worry so much. [he rests his cheek on his arm so at least Anthony can see the room. Or the ceiling. There's not much to see except a crack]

[serpentinthegarden]

I can't. Not. Worry.

[ Each word was punctuated with barely restrained anger. ]

What about that don't you understand? You're my Cousin, you are clearly out of your mind with... something, at least tell me what it is! Did you have another memory? Do you hate me for that business with Fell? What is it?!

[scotch_egg]

Ughhhhhhh [why? Why couldn't he just-- let it go? It didn't matter.]

'Snothing. Just felt like it. [he sighed heavily] 'Be back soon.

[he wouldn't]

[ Because you do matter you idiot! You matter so much Anthony decides to cross engine that med alert bracelet he was given, call the company and see if he were silly enough to keep that promise to hold it in his back pocket. He needed a location! ]

Just felt like it... listen to yourself! You can't do things like this. You look terrible!

Now stop being an idiot and tell me where you are.

Sod off. [he ends the call and then crawls into bed.

He didn't have it in his back pocket but in his coat pocket which was close enough. Anyway he was going to sleep so go bother someone else]
