[Dryly, with some vague confusion:] Why is there coal in my room?

[Private to Judas]

Thank you for the wine. It smells excellent.

Didn't you hear? Santa gives coal to naughty kids.

[voiceshall_echo]

There is no such thing.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

You think? There's coal in your room and you've been pretty darn naughty, so I'd say there's only one explanation going there, Junior.

[voiceshall_echo]

Do not call me that.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Pass. Try growing a thicker skin.

[voiceshall_echo]

Did your ankle heal?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Good as new, Junior. Thanks for caring.

[voiceshall_echo]

How wonderful to hear.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

Glad to see you got what you deserve.

[voiceshall_echo]

Coal is extremely useful, if archaic. I'm afraid I don't see your reason to be so cocky.

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

It's the metaphor behind it that tickles me.

[voiceshall_echo]

And what metaphor is that, captain?

[captain-jtkirk.livejournal.com]

That naughty children get coal for Christmas.

[voiceshall_echo]

Your planet's charms continue to thrill me. [God does he sound bored.]

It's from Cana. The finest. I wish you'd received the other gift though.

Re: [Private]

[voiceshall_echo]

And where is Cana?

Re: [Private]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Northeast of my home. In Galilee.

Re: [Private]

[voiceshall_echo]

Perhaps you'd care to join me for a drink.

Re: [Private] Also, Judas is an emo drunk.

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

Are you going to call me a fool again?

I would, thank you.

Re: [Private] Poor Judas. Shinzon would manipulate him if I could come up with a reason. :|

[voiceshall_echo]

Come by when you'd like.

[Action] His connections? LOL. I looked at his list of friends last night and was like "wut."

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

[A few minutes later, since Judas really has nothing better to do, he's knocking on Shinzon's door.]

Re: [Action] LOLwut indeed. xD

[voiceshall_echo]

[The door slides open, and Shinzon gestures him in. The wine is sitting on the desk.]

I've never had this kind of drink before, Judas.

Re: [Action]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

[Judas can't help but look a little bewildered at Shinzon's quarters. Then again, almost everything is bewildering to the Apostle. But he focuses on the jar of wine on Shinzon's desk. (http://lh4.ggpht.com/_v57vhA4LNE4/SIWZ9PteFjI/AAAAAAAAGZY/XLhqOAW0Tc4/pottery+wine+jar,+Tang.JPG) He recognizes the jar from a similar one his family kept for special occasions.]

Do you have glasses? Or cups?

[Normally, the wine would be warm from the heat of the desert, so Judas wasn't exactly sure how to drink it if it were cold.]

Re: [Action]

[voiceshall_echo]

[Oh yes, sliding doors are damn terrifying, aren't they? Mm. Shinzon gestures toward a seat for Judas, moving to the desk to uncork the jar. It feels room temperature, on the cool side but not cold.]

A couple. [That he took from the dining hall. He'll return them later. Maybe. He sets them on the desk.]

Re: [Action]

[heavenonthemind.livejournal.com]

[Judas takes a seat indeed, reveling in the warm temperature of his friend's room in comparison to the cold of the hallways. He pulls off Iago's his robe and smiles minutely. But he feels really strangely awkward.]

Good. Just pour the wine into the cup then and we'll drink.
