Houdini. Did you get out of Friday night's mess alright?
[ Eventually, the weird shit that messed with Peter's brain is taken care of, and when his mind finally clears--
He's fucking horrified.
There's a weird cocktail of nausea and disbelief and complete and utter mortification filling his gut. He had attacked his friends, what few he had actually made, and he has no idea how to deal with this. He-- can at least try for the basics.
Not that he can manage to actually talk to the guy, so a message by text it is. ]
i'm sorry
i'm really fucking sorry

Hello? Um, it's me.
[He ran out late on the 17th without much of an explanation and that was that. There would've been a message a little after along the lines of "going to see someone" but that was mostly a lie; he was people-searching, not visiting.
Anyway after a while of silence Ken's finally checking in again.]
... Koromaru and I'll probably be back tonight, or sometime tomorrow. Depending on-- um, I'm sorry I just ran out like that. I hope I didn't leave anything lying around.

[ Hello, friend. On this beautiful spring day of April the 1st, you will either return to your desk at work or return to the front door of your residence to find a singular red rose in a simple vase, complete with ribbon and mysterious card.
If you deign to move the vase even the slightest bit, you'll find that either: A) the rose is not indeed a rose and squirts you in the face with water. Like, a lot of water. Basically all the water in the vase. Or, B) it is indeed a real flower, but a fake plastic spider or cockroach is launched into your face by some mysterious mechanism rigged onto the vase.
Pick your poison.
(By the way, the card reads, "Been thinking about you." With a mark of lipstick in a color that seems eerily similar to the shade of purple that's always on a certain mysterious hooded lady's lips. For the less likely to catch on to that hint, the back of the card is signed, "Just kidding. - K" ]

[ At some point during the week, a particular Star-Lord will be sending a particular wizard a text message. Buzz, buzz, Charlie Brown. ]
merlin methuselah gandalf sabrina the teenage witch
sry i couldn't decide which one i wanted to call you
here's the address to that bar. i'll meet you there. see you saturday?
[ And Peter has a moment to think how surreal it is that he's been making so many dates now that he's back in Heropa. Especially since he's pretty sure he's never actually been on a date-date. His romantic experience is exclusively this: Hey, here's an alcoholic beverage. I like how your body looks, and I'm pretty sure your biology is compatible with mine, and your voice isn't especially grating. Wanna fuck?
(Okay. There's more finesse and panache than that, but that's more or less what it boils down to.)
Despite that, he doesn't feel particularly nervous or out of sorts. It's not any different than just meeting someone for a drink, right? And there probably won't be any more or less flirting than he's already used to. Why do people get nervous about this shit again?
The bar itself is near the Porter in Nonah, mostly because Heropa's been pretty heavily hit by the recent mess. Unlike Peter's usual haunts, though, it's not dingy and seedy, and it doesn't make one feel as though he or she might contract some sort of illness simply from breathing in the air. It is, in fact, surprisingly nice, with food and drink available, so that was considerate of him. Currently, Peter's standing outside waiting for Charlie, playing on his phone. And while he's not wearing his signature red jacket, he's still wearing leather. Because he looks damn good in it. Sorry, cows. ]

[ Guess who's showing up to Nonah #005 late one afternoon, once Charlie's presumably off work. If he isn't, Kasumi counts on the fact that Bull or Ken would probably let her in. Or she could. Let herself in.
She spends her mornings as of late sleeping off the exhaustion from the night before. The whole vigilante gig (although she would never call herself one) has her a little tired, honestly, but she's glad to make an appearance for Charlie, if only so he won't start worrying.
In any case, she's at the doorstep wearing something more casual with a bag--inside is a slice of that strawberry cake Charlie loves from their favorite cafe. She sends him a text to let her know that she's there because doorbells are for losers. ]
Guess who has a slice of your favorite cake outside your place at this very second?

Yo, Houdini. Couple of things:
1.) Do you know when Goto's birthday is? Asking for a friend'a hers.
2.) Has she sworn you to an oath of secrecy, on pain of death?

[ On the day of Charlie and Ken's party, a couple of packages show up on the doorstep of Nonah 005.
The package for Charlie has a small note attached that reads, Sorry I can't make it. Couldn't get out of my plans. Hope you guys have a good time though. Don't get too drunk. Or if you do, make sure someone records it. I bet your hilarious when your wasted.
-- Quill
The package itself contains a stack of movies, and on top of the stack is a note that says, "For your continued film history education." Some of the other films have similar annotations.

Charlie.
[The Bull is out or something. The others? Preoccupied somewhere. Nonah 05 has plenty of places for people to hide. Anyway, they're alone. And Ken sits across from Charlie with his (still completely full after 20 minutes) mug of coffee, raises it to his mouth to attempt to take a sip, and sets it down with a Very Serious Face.]
Are you and Kasumi-san dating?

[ kasumi hasn't really left the room she's been put up in, so she has no idea if Charlie is at work or not. But she's going to send this anyway. ]
"Oh my… sweat and body wash and Christian. It's a heady cocktail - so much better than a margarita, and now I can speak from experience."
I'd still take a margarita over that "heady cocktail"

[ Charlie receives a text not long after this conversation; it arrives with a pretty solid encryption. ]
A mutual friend of ours told me you're interested in our book club?
[ Still can't believe Hawke went with friggin' book club. ]
