"Hello?"
"Yo, Robert! Time got saved, and I was killed, but I got better! I'm throwing a party with the personification of Death and some feds. The goddess of the Moon agreed to help take care of the baby. Wanna come?"
"You phrased that last part like that on purpose, didn't you, Lucas?" - Said Robert.
"I phrased EVERY part like that on purpose. It'll help make you curious enough to stop by." - Said Lucas.
Robert smiled lightly.
"I'll be visiting, then, yes. When is it?"
"In an hour or so. Also, I'll SMS you an YouTube thing to watch while you get ready. Gotta go invite some more people. Toodles!"
Robert hanged up the phone, smirked and began to get ready.
Adjusted for personality, the same kind of interaction happened with Rachel, Lois from the Angel Café, David, Mark, Jay, Lisa and others.
Cass was getting ready at her place. After Lucas finished talking to Mark and opening the portals to Maxwell's grove, Hawkins walked up to her.
"Lucas, I must thank you. You helped save the entire cosmos this time..."
"Well, it is where I keep all my stuff..." - Said Lucas, smiling a bit - "Too bad we can't really tell people... Can we?"
"I will make sure that the right people in my agency know, at least so they can thank you. They may, emphasis on may, reward you. As I am sure you will refuse any job proposals..." - Said Hawkins.
"A freelance's life for me, Nate. But there actually is a fairly minor thing I'd like you to do for me. I can't quite get out of here without falling asleep on the spot right now, so I'll not be able to go buy some things. And while I can create here what the party needs, the stuff I need bought isn't for the party, but for my personal amusement..."
"I can go buy whatever it is you need, Lucas, sure."
"Good. I need the dictionary with the biggest number of words you can find, be it English or any other language, the biggest book on the natural sciences you can find, the biggest multiplication table you can find, some glue and a polaroid camera. I can pay for them."
"I can get you those items easily, sure, and paying for them is the least I could do, but would you mind if I asked why do you want them?" - Said Hawkins.
Lucas shot Hawkins a shit-eating grin.
Somewhere Else
