It had been a very long and stressful day for Phoebe.

First had been the argument/discussion with Cole... and now she had to tell Crowley that the contract was incinerated. That was going to go over well, especially since she hadn't gotten any information out of Cole about why this plan would succeed where the others had failed.

Then she had done research with Piper and told her sister that she had told Cole if it came down to it, she would choose the safety and lives of her sisters over anything. She loved Cole, but her sisters always came first.

She had hung out at Carita's talking to Jarod for awhile. After having a few glasses of wine and a frothy frou-frou drink, she had returned to the hotel.

She paced back and forth for awhile, wondering if she could fir a portable punching bag in here.

In the evening, whenever Phoebe returns

After spending a little while talking with Crowley, (http://crawley-demon.livejournal.com/12418.html?thread=290178#t290178) Kiki knocked on Phoebe's door.

"Phoebe, are you in?"

"Hey, Phoebe," Kiki said as she came in, "How are you?"

"Yeah, weird would be a good adjective for it," Kiki answered, flopping down in a chair. "Hope you don't mind me dropping by unannounced. Any luck with Bel yet?"

"Sorry," Kiki said with a small frown. "Anything I can do to help? You know you can always ask."

Kiki shook her head. "He needs to readjust his priorities!"

She gave a rueful little smirk. "Sorry, I don't mean to make you rehash all of that. I guess I'd just rather talk about someone else's problems than think about my own. I kinda need the girltalk; John and I broke up. Ehr.. sort of."

Smiling gratefully over the tea order - and, truth be told, the Schnapps - Kiki sighed and sat back, wrapping her arms around her shin.

"Basically? We each had pretty different ideas of what was going on. I thought we were dating, and he evidently didn't get the memo. When I stopped by his room, he was - um - in his boxers. His clothes were on the floor, and so were hers, and she - Sydney, that is - was wearing only a towel. Awkward in ways I can't even begin to describe."

"Thanks," Kiki said, sipping the tea before finishing her reply. "Honestly, I didn't say anything to him about it. Sydney was pretty sick - ear infection and fever and sore throat - so I went to my room, got her a few herbal remedies, came back down and got her set with those. John was...absolutely clueless. He asked if I were okay; I lied, said I was fine and then I told him I'd help him organize his game of Assassins that he wants to run for the students later in the semester."

Catching the look on Phoebe's face, Kiki facepalmed, chagrinned. "I know, I know! I'm a walking doormat," she groaned.

Kiki shrugged. "I care to let them be if he's happy with Sydney. She really is very nice. I don't blame her in any of this. I just hope John treats her well. Better than he did me, anyway."

She took a sip of tea and then rested her chin on her knee. "Here's the odd thing. I'm hurt, yes - I was pretty shocked, and I wish he had just told me...but under that betrayal, I think I am - well, a little relieved. And I feel kind of guilty about that."

"Why do I feel relieved, or why do I feel guilty about being relieved?" Kiki raised an eyebrow. "Um, well..." Kiki thought for a moment. "I'm not really sure, but - It seems like everyone I know is leaving Fandom. The only people I have left are you and Lana and Mr. Crowley, once Professor Chaucer leaves next week. I feel like I'm walking around just waiting to see who will be next and it's better when the news comes and I know. Half the time I feel like as soon as I am friends with someone, or close to them, they leave, and it might just be better to not bother making new friends at all. Or," she added with a wry grimmace, "it could be that John and I just didn't fit together very well."

"I can see how you'd be able to relate!" Kiki nodded empathetically. "I've been thinking about what people say about Fandom - that people are here because something draws them to it, or that they come here for a reason, even if they don't know what that reason is, exactly. I'm not sure I ever knew my reason for being here, but I'm not sure it still exists anymore - but on the other hand, I don't want to be just another person who leaves, you know?"

Smiling at her friend, Kiki answered quietly, "Thank you, Phoebe. I guess I just need to find that reason again, you know?"

"I will - thanks," Kiki answered. Then she chuckled. "Aren't we a pair? Demons and witchcraft and relationships, oh my."

"Thanks," Kiki grinned. "That goes for me, too."

"Of course," Kiki answered. "Absolutely I will help. I'd be miffed at you if you went and tried it alone! You'll have to give me a tutorial on how it works, though."

"Hmm," mused Kiki. "That board must be an artifact of great power to be able to do that much. I spent some time in the Special Collections, looking through the books Ms. Calendar recommended, and I've found a few things that look like they could be of help - as long as I can cast them correctly!"

"Friday works for me, too," Kiki grinned. "I have no plans. And thank you for the invite to Caritas...I might stop by if my mun doesn't go grocery shopping instead."


[ooc: Mun, however, will be AFK Friday for a good chunk of the evening from 7:00 - 10ish. I'm good to start it earlier, though.]

"Good idea. Is Lana going?"

"Ooh, fun!" Kiki grinned. "This sounds like it's just what we need!"

"I knew coming here would cheer me up," Kiki laughed, draining the last of her tea. "You're the best, Phoebe!"

She stood up and hugged Phoebe, saying, "I'll see you tomorrow, k?"
