[With the clatter of a glass object, the NV suddenly turns on to show green bottle of wine, and behind the bottle a blonde woman's head raises with a start. Hattie looks like she hasn't slept for a while, and on top of that, pretty buzzed.]

*snort* Wha-? .. Ella? [She fumbles for the NV, setting it upright, and appears to be sitting at a table under dim lighting.] Pick up, I know you're there, don't leave me on voice mail again!

[She stares intently at the screen for a moment, then sneers as she grabs another bottle and pours herself a glass.] Fine, I'll leave a message. I suppose you're far too busy having yourself a.. Good laugh then, are you? Well that's.. That's just fine with me. Just go ahead 'n laugh it up.

[She shakes her head.]

You haven't called in.. Two days. I checked the calendar four times. So, I suppose that means you're not lettin me back home, so... I dunno. The look on my face when you showed up at the door with that... Whatever that was, was just priceless to you, wasn't it? I bet it was.

I've been thinking, you know.. I tried to wrap my head around it, you know. It was just weeks ago when you were touting 'Give, give this season.'. And I chuckled, 'Typical Ella'.

[The blonde pours a glass of wine, then takes a gulp from the glass. Silence follows for twenty seconds.]

And then.. I thought about how during all that, in the back of your head you must have been thinking 'I know what I'm going to give Hattie this season: a ten minute eviction notice'. And then I'm thinking when we were talking at work, and you're all, smiling that.. innocent smile of yours, with those same words in the back of your head all the while. Something. [Hattie gives a distressed chuckle, and slams her glass on the table.]

I think the most brilliant part was when you let her stay. You really thought this out. So congratulations; don't ever say I don't give credit where credit is due.

Honestly, I'm ashamed that I left myself open. It was only last month I warned her about getting stabbed in the back [By people you can't control, specifically.] An' then I just waltz right into that one. Hah! In retrospect that is kind of funny.

[Hattie bites down on her knuckles and her cheeks burn red. She trembles, as if trying to find the will to shout, but she simply can't muster it, instead she lowers her head in defeat.]

I'm such an idiot.. I hate this place. And this wine.

[But once she gets over feeling sorry for herself, Hattie's going to find a way to get even. But she doesn't say that and instead ends the feed.]

[Page turn. No, she's still not worth looking at.]

She has a right to her own house, and she can decide who she does and doesn't want there. You have no claim to it.

[Look, he's not happy she let Eponine stay. But that's her decision.]

[She grits her teeth.]

Fine! But you condone her doing it in such an underhanded way! You condone her doing it while hurting me in every way possible!

... Though, you know what, I suppose that isn't surprising. Military people don't tend to hold their punches, do they?

[It then hits her that she posted this over the network, and buries her face in her hands.]

NNnnnngggh..

I think you know very well why she had to do it that way.

.. What are you talking about?

[Hattie looks perplexed, knowing he's hinting at something, but she's not certain what.]

Y- You brat! You think you know everything don't you! Come down here and meet me face to face, I'll slap that attitude right off you're face! I'll fight yo-!

[Hattie jumps right to her feet, though her legs immediately give and she she collapses to the floor.]

[The cat actually perks up at that sudden noise, and heads over to just stare into the NV screen. So there is a curious Persian kitty-cat face taking up the whole view now.

[But Hitsugaya? Oh. Yeah, that's the sound of another page turning. Utterly unconcerned.] You might want to sober up before you make stupid threats like that.

[Guess what? He knows hangover remedies. Good ones. But he's not sharing.]

[Hattie's cat is cooler. She's quiet for a moment.]

.. I think you're right.

...

And it isn't stupid!! This isn't over!! I'll beat you up then I hope Santa eats your cat for Christmas!! Then who will be the know-it-all, huh??

That's right, me! I'll make you wish you never crossed me! I will!

[Hitsugaya's cat has a cooler name.]

It's stupid. And nothing you just said requires being a "know-it-all."

[ .. Ok, you get that one. After pulling herself back up to her seat, she contemplates his response.]

It's not stupid, you're stupid!

[Sick burn!]

Haaaaaaaaaaah ha ha. I. Win.

[He can't get offended at that coming out of the mouth of a drunk. It's too pathetic.] You keep on thinking that.

[Cat tilts her head at the drunken laughing. Wat is that?]

[Hattie peers at said persian. That's right, she's talking about you!]

Scram. [She hisses. And when Toushirou so passively responds, she is more than happy to take it as a victory.]

I will! Hah!

[She ends the feed.]

[Yuki hisses right back. She's not afraid of you!]

[And when the feed cuts, Hitsugaya just rolls his eyes and turns another page. Drunks are such idiots.]
