[ A generic voice greets any caller with:

"The person you've called is not available at this time. Please leave your name and number after the tone."

Followed, of course, by a long beep. ]

Nov. 6th, phone call

[lyingheart]

[ Annie calls to her erstwhile roommate because they're facing a bit of a situation that he may well be able to help with. RING RING, NIANMAI! She figure sif he's otherwise occupied he'll just not answer. #shetried ]

[cowared]

[ Jokes on her! The Nian has nothing but free time on his hands, and answers on the third ring only because it takes him a minute to figure out how to actually answer in the first place. ]

Hello?

[lyingheart]

[ Nian what even occupies your time... on a spooky ship filled with annoying messages and endless starlight and moonlight outside. ]

Nianmai? This is Annie. Are you busy right now?

[cowared]

[ Well he's back to being solid right now, so there was at least some point in time that he was occupied. ]

Right now?

[ There's a pause as if he's trying to figure out if he is or not. He isn't, this pause is totally unnecessary, and it's based entirely on having watched a middle aged housewife do this often to make herself seem more important to her friends. ]

No, I'm not.

[lyingheart]

[ Good work! It's... surprisingly not always the most achievable (or durable) of circumstances. She waits out his pause, figuring he's actually having to decide something, and then he says he isn't. Which is certainly convenient for her. ]

Ah, that's good. Will you meet me up on the deck to break ice blocks up and carry them to the water purifier now that it's got running again?

[ Please use that strength for at least hauling the ice, Nianmai. ]

[cowared]

[ He's being asked to break things? He loves breaking things! ]

Yes! Now, right? I can smash things.

[ Even his tone sounds weirdly excitable for someone who has just been asked to do manual labor. ]

[lyingheart]

[ What a simple, genuine response. Somehow this fits with the whole "the nightstand wasn't attached well" incident right off the bat. ]

Yes, now. Smashing and carrying is exactly what we need.

[cowared]

[ Simple and genuine are both great words to describe him. ]

I'll be there soon!

[lyingheart]

See you.

[ TO WHICH he will meet Erik on the decks and be able to help with the loading/breaking of ice, and also, should he like, to help Annie throw ice pieces into the water purification system belowdecks...

ooc: ... Which is to say I'm the only player with a log up so laughs for any threading on this, you're welcome to hit me up for some Annie times (exciting!???) and we can roll with them, or happily handwave (since Erik's player does not have a log themselves!) ]

[cowared]

[ OOC: I'm fine with handwaving the basic labor business for now, but if anything unexpected goes down I'm up for jumping into a log with him later. ]

[ that's the message, no context provided. ]

[cowared]

[ He stares at his device for several long minutes trying to figure this out, before sending the only response he can to express his deep and utter confusion for this message. ]

[ecchymosis]

part of it. and yeah. if i asked you to eat the fucker who did this, would you do it for me? he fucking deserves it.

[cowared]

[ This is like dangling food in front of an animal's face that you're about to yank away.

Cruel. ]
