#ccsemberclub

She rolls her eyes Oh great CC, very smooth "I'm CC. Apologies for the..confusionn"

"Listen, if he's in any trouble, I'll... CC?" The voice is surprised. "Not... the CC, of the Ember Club?"

"Point of fact yes," Double surprise and pleased. She's famous "Look. I was trying to contact blue bell but got one of those annoying 'the number you have reached' things. Know how I could contact her? I'd be grateful"

"Listen, Julius's gal, she's wily, and if she don't want to be found, she ain't gonna be found. What's wrong? Where's the boy now? Got into some trouble, has he? I'd expect that of his brother before him..." A rueful chuckle.

"Oh he's sleeping something off in a hotel here. I thought she might want to patch things up or fetch him. MMm. "

"Ha! Finally got it in him for a proper bender, did he? Good. Let him sleep it off, he'll be better for it. And the hangover will serve him right. He doesn't deserve Bunny to come bail him out, not the way he's been acting. He has to figure this one out on his own. Listen, tell him to call his mother, it's mother's day weekend coming up. But NOT at these hours." Muffled, "I'll be right there, hun!"

"How's he been treating her? " Surprised "I got half a story. "

"And how did you know it was 'CC' from the Ember Club?" amused "You a fan?"

"He's just a kid, still. Odd duck, that one, never one to run around sowing wild oats, or to run around at all. Cassius, I understand better - that's my other boy, but they're both my sons, sure as if I sired them myself. He takes her for granted, just because he's sedentary that she'll be happy as a houseplant. You ask me? He needs to put some wild back in his wilder, before he becomes a grump, and a lonely one at that. Live a little."

And a laugh. "I'm not such an old goat that I can't still hit a club now and again. Maybe someday I'll spark up my old lady and bring her down for a spin around KC town."

"You'd be welcome... " She laughs "Okay. I'll let him sleep it off.. thanks for the tip. And sorry for the late hour. He's at " She names the hotel and room number "if you wannt to call him later on. I'll mention his mother. Sounds like he's nnont crazy abou havinngg kids of his own "

"Well, can you blame him? Deadbeat dad ran out after knocking up his mom, she raised him up alone. Hell of a woman." He sounds proud there. "Took him a while to warm up to me, and longer to believe I was there to mentor him and not just cozy up to his mother. It was both, after all!" A laugh. "Listen, call me in the morning if you need anything. Ask for Ronnie if I don't answer."

"Will do, and Ronnie, if you want? I can mail you a CD with some of my songs, nothing beats live, but you soundn like a man of taste"

"I'd be much obliged. Even up here we've heard of your club." He shares an address in Minnesota.

And she writes it down, "You're an angel to my ego, albeit I bet your halo is just crooked enough to be interesting. Night"

He wishes her a good night and hangs up, returning to bed to warm his cold hoov- er, feet! On his warm spouse. But that's the start of someone else's story.

(Sorry, they are already AT hotel. I just didnn't change chat rooms)

CC shakes her head "Silly bunny is going to kick herself missing her chance to catch his hang over" She writes down on a note pad to leave for the satyr Room paid for. Call your mother in Minnesota, mother's Day soon. Remember what I said. Don't give up on Bluebell and you. Signed CC

He mumbles, through his sleep. "Come back to bed, Honey-bunny. S'cold without you."

"oh you got it bad" She sighs. Rolls her eyes then sings softly, a bunk "You're no bunny until some bunny loves you
You're nobody till some bunny cares
Now you may be king, you may possess the world and it's gold
Gold'll never buy you happiness when you're growing old"

"You know the world is the same, you'll never change it
Just as sure as the star shines above
Now you're no bunny until some bunny comes and loves you
So find yourself some bunny to love" She blows a kiss, and the fair fortune settles inn

He settles into a deeper slumber, hugging his pillow to his chest.

And the older satyress turns and goes. Making sure the door will be locked and safe behind her.

(End scene)
