Priestly tried to keep his voice down, so as not to draw the attention of the crazy theater people with swords. "Geoffrey challenged the crazy Sturm und Drang guy to a duel and now they're sword fighting! This is the best rehearsal ever!"
Dinah was sure to hear Geoffrey and Darren bitching at each other over the clangs in the background.
"Yay, Geoffrey's back!" Dinah bounced with glee, then slumped. "And I'm missing a duel?! DUDE!"
She could hear Geoffrey insulting Darren in the background and held the phone far enough away that she could yell, "GO GEOFFREY!" without deafening Priestly too much.
"Get someone else to do it?" Dinah suggested, still bouncing and maybe shadow-boxing in support of Geoffrey. "Ooo, ooo, is Crazy Mean Director guy running yet?"
"It was! Priestly says hi!" Dinah told each of them in turn, then to Tony, "Geoffrey checked himself into a mental hospital last week and he was really crazy because he left us with some doofy pretentious director guy who had Edward arrested for threatening him.
"Is he crying yet? OOooo!" Dinah said, returning to Priestly. "Tell me he's crying!"
"Not that I can see yet. And this guy seems like the explosive overdramatic sobbing type." Priestly sneered. "Man, and I totally gave him a sandwich with sundried tomatoes. On ciabatta. If I'd known Geoffrey was coming back, I'da dumped that tuna salad on his head."
"He so didn't deserve that after last week," Dinah said, shaking her head, and taking the phone back as Tony drove the car. "You are a diplomat and a peacemaker, Priestly. Maaan, I wish I could be there. If I'd known Geoffrey would've come back today, I'd have gotten a portal just for this rehearsal!" She grinned. "Kill him a lot, Geoffrey!" She sighed. "Darnit."

He had a camera, actually, on his phone. But he wasn't going to hang up on her to use it.

And they all knew how foolish that was.
"I'm hoping for some tears, myself. Was that Tony? HI TONY!"

"Awesome." Dinah sighed happily. "And the right triumphs. I love theater."
