(R/n finds out the new phone number for the diner she works at had previously belonged to the the towns animal shelter. Some people just don’t seem to grasp that they’ve called the diner not animal control, So R/n starts having fun with the more ignorant callers, this happens as her shift ended.)
R/n, hears the phone ring: hold on.
Ghost: The bloody phone again? Just leave it.
R/n, ignores him and put it on speaker: Hello, Ned’s diner.
Caller: Uh, yeah. I have this raccoon in my backyard.
R/n, rolling her eyes: Hmm… that’s nice.
Caller: Yeah, well it seems to be acting strangely… like it’s crazy.
R/n: What do you want me, a waitress, to do about it?
Caller: Well, you should do your job and come out and get rid of it! Isn’t that why I pay my taxes?
R/n: Okay, then. Give me your address.
Caller: *gives out address*
R/n, joking: All right, after I finish closing up the diner I’ll have my boyfriend over with his shotgun at around midnight. There will be a loud noise, so warn your neighbors first. Oh! and since I don’t work for your taxes, just leave 20 bucks inside your mailbox, more if you want a fancy burial. Have a nice day! *click*
Ghost, chuckling: Spec-Fucking-tacular, love. But not the way I would’ve done it.
R/n, cocks a brow as she locks the door: Oh? How would you have handled it?
Ghost: I would’ve spun a tale about how docile and friendly those trash pandas really are and it was probably acting crazy cos it wanted to cuddle!~
R/n: Yeah, that would’ve been interesting. However, keep in mind the people in this town aren’t very bright. They probably would’ve taken what you said to heart... And gotten their thumbs chewed off.
[Ghost winces as he recalls what happened to that lady last week; The one who got trampled by a moose, cos her friends dared her to take a selfie with it!]
Ghost: Fair enough, let’s go home. {They hop on R/n’s motorcycle and ride home.)

Five Times Someone Mistook Roman And Remus (And One Time They Finally Met)
5. Janus and Patton
[1] [2] [3] [4] • [+1]
Word Count: 1361
Rating: Teen
Pairings: Dukexiety, pining Roceit, developing Logicality
Warnings: drunkenness, a fair amount of implied sexual context (the only character who actually has sex is sober), jealousy, did I mention drunkenness
~~~START~~~
“C’mon, Re, it’ll be fun!” Patton tried, poking the moping blanket burrito currently curled up on his couch.
“Nooooo!” The burrito whined.
“Virgil will be home tomorrow; it’s your birthday, let’s celebrate!”
The burrito didn’t react. Time for plan B.
“I need a wingman.”
“…fine.”
~~~
“Pleeeease, Logan?” Roman begged, pulling out the puppy dog eyes.
“Roman, I do not enjoy loud music or drunk people,” Logan waved him off, focusing instead on his tax forms or something — Roman wasn’t paying attention.
“You didn’t invite me to my own birthday party!”
“We sent Remy to find you, the fact that the man he brought back was not you is not my fault.”
“Gurl that’s why we’re going to the club!” Remy pointed out from where he was making himself a latte. “To make up for the party.”
“Besides,” Janus added, smirking. “Do you really trust us,” he motioned to himself, Remy, and Roman, “to go out unsupervised? Who knows what kind of trouble we might get into.”
“…you have a point. Fine, but you are all going with me to the opening of the planetarium next week.”
“Deal!”
“As long as they have coffee.”
“I suppose that’s fair.”
“Excellent, then we shall go to the club tonight.”
~~~
In the end, Patton hadn’t needed Remus’s help to find a cute guy, but the last time he’d seen his friend, he’d looked like he was having fun.
Patton was having fun too; he was a few drinks in — just enough to be a little tipsy — and talking to the most specs-tacular man he’d ever seen. Said man was certainly more than a few drinks in, but the way he was drunkenly babbling about space was the most endearing thing Patton had ever seen.
“–and the photos from the James Webb Space Telescope! Have you seen them?”
“I don’t think so,” Patton smiled, flagging down the bartender for another drink.
“Wait, I have them on my phone,” the man — Logan — fumbled around in his pocket. “Here.”
Patton looked as Logan thumbed through the photos for him.
“They’re really pretty!”
“They’re more than pretty,” Logan stressed. “They’re stunning! They’re gorgeous! They’re– they’re… words’re hard.”
Logan picked up his glass, then glared at it as he found it to be empty.
“Here.” Patton placed the water he’d ordered in front of the other man. “I think you’ve had enough alcohol.”
Logan stared at the glass, then at Patton, his face completely unreadable.
“You’re gorgeous,” he said eventually. “As humans, one possible objective is to copulate, therefore would you like to procreate– copulate? Proculate… copreate?”
“Oh, sweetie,” Patton giggled. “You’re drunk. Did you come here with anyone? Do you need me to call you a cab?”
“I’m not drunk,” Logan insisted. “You’re drunk. I’m sober perfectly.”
“Okay,” Patton smiled, grabbing a pen that had been discarded on the bar. “Here’s my number, you can call me tomorrow if you still want to copreate. Do you have someone to take you home, or should I call you a cab?”
“Janus can cab,” Logan answered unhelpfully, though he was pointing at someone across the room.
“Is that Janus?” Patton asked, trying to figure out who Logan was pointing to.
“Yes.”
“Okay, upsy daisy, let’s go find Janus.”
Patton had to support most of his weight as Drunk Logan proved to have little control over his long limbs. They made it halfway through the crowd before a man materialized in front of them.
“How much have you had to drink?” The man demanded of Logan, ignoring Patton for the time being.
“Only a little bit. Me and Patton were talking about stars,” Logan answered. This did not seem to satisfy the man — presumably Janus.
“Logan, you drove us here!”
“I shouldn’t drive,” Logan answered. “We should taxi. We should taxi to Patton’s!”
“No, sweetie,” Patton cut in. “You should go home; you can call me tomorrow if you want.”
Logan pouted. Janus and Patton exchanged a commiserative glance, and then Patton was transferring Logan’s weight on to Janus.
“Thank you,” Janus said.
Patton just nodded before turning around and pushing through the crowd once more. It was about time for him and Remus to get going too… he just needed to find Remus.
He’d just turned to look in a different direction when someone bumped into him, sending him stumbling and causing his glasses to fall off. He got down on the ground to look for them, but just before he could reach them, a stray foot accidentally stepped on them.
“Oh shit! I’m sorry dude!” The man who’d stepped on his glasses apologized.
“No worries,” Patton waved him off tiredly as he collected the broken pieces — the lenses seemed to be intact, but the frames were bent. He sighed and stuffed the pieces into his pocket, he still had to find Remus.
~~~
This night was not going how Janus had imagined it.
First, Remy peeled off after the first round of drinks (which was to be expected), then Logan left to get another round and never returned (unexpected, but perfect for what Janus had planned), but then Roman spotted a hot guy across the room and left before Janus could get to the confession part!
After that he might have had another drink, or two, or three.
Maybe four.
His friends had yet to resurface, but Janus was in his drinking phase where he hated and resented everyone, so he didn’t care much.
Of course, then he’d spotted a drunk Logan being supported by a stranger and Bitter Janus turned into Mom-Friend Janus in an instant as he moved to intervene.
The stranger, it seemed, was trying to send Logan home, so Janus accepted his friend from him and dragged him back to the table he’d been wallowing at. Logan was drunker than Janus had ever seen him — if the excessive use of contractions and incorrect grammar were anything to go off of — but he’d still need to find Roman and Remy before he could take him home.
He pulled out his phone to text them, and found two missed texts from Remy from over an hour ago.
Hey babes, went home 😏🍆🍑
And then twenty minutes later:
Home safe. Being safe 😎💦
Well, that was one less person to worry about, now he just had to find–
“Snakey!”
Roman draped himself over Janus’s back, wrapping his arms securely around his waist.
“Hello, Roman. I wasn’t just looking for you,” Janus replied, trying — unsuccessfully — to dislodge the other man from his person.
“You’re funny,” Roman declared, obviously also extremely inebriated. “You’re like… like Dr. Trick-le and Mr. Lies!”
Roman laughed at his own terrible nickname, and Janus rolled his eyes fondly.
“How much have you had to drink?”
“Soooo much,” Roman drawled, slowly transferring more and more weight onto Janus. “I gotta find him though.”
“Remy went home, Ro, you don’t need to find anyone. Can you walk on your own? I need to support Samuel Adams over here.”
“I gotta go home with–”
“I’m not letting you go home with someone while this drunk,” Janus cut him off quickly, fighting off the return of Bitter Janus. “I’m ordering an Uber and we’ll all go back to my place.”
Roman found this very funny for some reason, but Janus ignored his laughter and finally shook the man off. He grabbed Logan and began dragging him out of the club without looking back — though he knew Roman was following because he was still laughing.
He shoved Logan into the middle seat of the Uber once it arrived, and vehemently ignored the sharp pang he felt when he noticed that Roman was wearing a different shirt than he’d come in.
All he wanted to do was get home and sleep through the massive hangover he already knew he’d have, what Roman did and didn’t do with another man while they were at the club did not matter.
~~~
Remus was pretty drunk by the time Patton finally found him — a much harder task when he didn’t have his glasses — and he didn’t put up any fight as Patton dragged him out of the club and into a cab.
~~~END~~~
Virgil had to be removed from the situation, he’d see too much, he’d know
Janus: his shirt is different >:(
Also Janus: *doesn’t notice that all of his clothes are different and he has a mustache*
(They’ll kiss in the next part I swear)
