voicetest. couldn't resist this guy.

[armbands]

Hey, if this is what it takes for you to bust me out so I can stretch my legs, I'll take what I can get. [And he grins that disarming, naturally predatory smile.

You gotta love him.]

omg it's about time bro

[174awhile]

You would be so devil-may-care about all of this.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Well, you're taking this a lot better than a lot of other people have.

[As to be expected, of course.]

well we can't all be as fast as you bud

[armbands]

Ain't no other way to look at it, little bro.

[armbands]

If you've got any other suggestions, feel free to drop them off.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

Oh no, it's just a plesant surprise is all.

[Well, "surprise" in her case.]

We've all been missing you.

nope that is my claim to faaame

[174awhile]

That's debatable. [Not that he's going to debate it, especially with Emmett.]

So what brought this on? Your sudden appearance. It sounds like you've been coped up for a while.

[armbands]

Hey now, you've got some of the family hanging around here - can't have missed me too much, sis.

whatevs :P

[armbands]

Just felt the need to bust me out. [He shrugs.] Felt like it was time, y'know?

[empathetics]

Always the optimist, Emmett?

[armbands]

Well someone has to be the refreshing break from you sour-patch kids.

[empathetics]

Then we should thank the heavens that you're here.

oh like you don't have one muscleman

[174awhile]

I'm not sure I do. But I guess now is as good a time as any.

It's good to see you, at any rate. Now the whole family's here, in some form or another.

[manicpixiedreamgirl]

It just doesn't feel right without you, though. You know, one big happy family and all that.

[She smirks/]

But having Jasper here takes the edge off/

/chinhands

[nevertasted]

How far are your legs going to be stretching?

i don't need to answer that mr. mindreader

[armbands]

Whole fam's here, huh? [There's a new grin at that.] Pretty damn exciting if you ask me. Not knowing what's gonna happen to you - bit of a change of pace.

[armbands]

That's Jazz - anything for the old ball-and-chain. [He nudges her playfully.]

[armbands]

Damn straight.

oh goodness /fans

[armbands]

You know how far my legs can stretch, babe. [Okay, all things aside, guess who's grinning super-big at the sight of you.] Not too sure about that yet, though.

there aren't enough emmetts in existence. c:

[nevertasted]

[ His grin's met with one of her own as she slips an arm around his waist. ] You'll have to let me know when you figure it out.

and that just isn't right

[armbands]

Oh, I plan to. [He presses a kiss to the top of her hand.] What about you? Any plans?

it isn't!

[nevertasted]

[ She shakes her head and frowns slightly even though she's not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. (She's leaning towards bad, mostly; why bother if she's not going anywhere?) ] She's "too busy" but is still really tempted. We'll see what happens when she's done reviewing.

[armbands]

Crying shame, babe. [He squeezes her shoulders comfortingly.] But I guess I know the feeling. I've been squished back in her head so the old man can test the waters.

[nevertasted]

You could say that again. [ She leans into him, chin resting on his arm so she can still look up at him. ] You've got Carlisle in there with you?

[armbands]

Yeah. [He gives a fake shudder.] I love the guy, but sharing a head-space with him is no great shakes.

[nevertasted]

[ Her smile is both amused and affectionate, even as she rolls her eyes. ] At least you like your company. Being trapped in her head is bad enough; having to share the space with Bella, of all people -- [ Her nose scrunches in obvious distaste. ]

[armbands]

Could be a helluva lot worse, Rose. [They could be stuck with that wet-dog smell.]

[nevertasted]

[ Oh, there are plenty of werewolves up there with her, just none from their world.

But, begrudgingly: ] I guess you have a point. That doesn't mean I have to like it any better, though.

[empathetics]

[He shakes his head, an amused smirk at his lips.]

You think you're gonna stick around?

[armbands]

[He gives her shoulders another squeeze.] I heard down the vine that the rest of the fam is here too. That's pretty awesome. [Because he at least knows that Alice and Esme can make Rose feel better when he can't.]

[armbands]

All depends on my mun's confidence. She might just toss me around that Street place to test me out a little more.

Besides, it's so much sweeter when both of us tag team against little Edward, y'know?

[nevertasted]

[ He does a good job most of the time, at least, which is why she leans into him some more, her other arm wrapping around him. Her hands rest on his hip, fingers lacing together. ] Yeah, it is. [ She lifts up onto her toes to press a kiss to the corner of his mouth. ] And the most important one's right here with me.

[ Be mushier, Rosalie. Really. ]

[armbands]

[He grins at that.] My thoughts exactly.

[nevertasted]

[ She grins in return, thumb rubbing over his side. ] If you know what's good for you, you'll stick around, too.

[armbands]

[Ooooh. Eyebrow wiggle.] Something to look forward to.

[nevertasted]

[ That? Just gets a shake of her head and a slight rolling of her eyes. ]

nolololol

[174awhile]

Tell me about it. I can't read anyone's mind here, so everything seems all the more unpredictable. It's a relief to be around people I'm used to. [Especially you, Em. No mind-to-mouth filter. A glorious thing indeed.]

[armbands]

[Don't make him just blurt everything out. You know he will.] I'll bet.

[And there's that grin you know is associated with trouble.] So, you can't hear anything?

[armbands]

[Her reaction just earns a hearty chuckle from him.] Hey, you know you love me, babe.

[nevertasted]

I'm not denying that. [ She gives his hip a squeeze and then slides her hand to his back, the other dropping back to her side. ] Even if I tried, you'd know I was lying.
