[Phone: Anais]

[firecracker_hopping]

[Sometime in the afternoon, Anais's phone starts ringing! But the number is unknown because somebody is a PRO and didn't give Anais her phone number. But it's Lera, as it so happens, and not using Noelle's today!]

[...why is this strange phone number calling me? Still, maybe it's someone from X-DAV I haven't met yet... Sigh, obligations.]

Vallinar.

[firecracker_hopping]

[It's-a-Lera! If Anais remembers her voice.]

Hey, there. It's Lera Savinkov--uh, we talked last week, on Noelle's phone!

[vallinar]

Oh yes. Ostendramm's creator.

[pause, you can hear the frowning in her tone when she speaks next]

I should have asked you for your number when we spoke last. I apparently neglected to do so. My apologies.

[firecracker_hopping]

It's okay, I should have too. Sorry I didn't call you sooner, I've been learning a lot! I had a question, though, I thought you might know...

[vallinar]

I make no guarantees on an answer, but I can most certainly make an attempt. What is it?

[firecracker_hopping]

Ever hear of a girl named Lynea?

[vallinar]

[oh Xumurdad why]

Unfortunately.

[firecracker_hopping]

Well, uh... she kinda found out she has a player and got, er, angry...

[vallinar]

That's what that was about?

[firecracker_hopping]

She, uh, ran into you, I take it?

[vallinar]

In a sense. She [paaaaause] decided to move into my apartment.

[firecracker_hopping]

...o-oh. Um. Not in a looking for a roommate sense?

[vallinar]

As in she broke into my apartment one day and refused to leave.

[firecracker_hopping]

Oh, jeez! I'm sorry. [Awwwwkward] She, um, left her phone behind. I took it because, you know, those are expensive? I want to get it back to her.

[vallinar]

I would suggest bringing it here, but I do not know if she would wish to see you if you were one who upset her.

[That's how this stuff works, right? Anais has no experience in this department.]

Perhaps I should meet you and obtain it.

[....that's a good plan for a situation like this, right? Help?]

[firecracker_hopping]

I, ah, was one of them--um, hm, do you think you could bring her too?

[Oh God sooooo awkward]

I wanted to apologize too...

[vallinar]

Ah...

[Awkward. So, so awkward]

Perhaps you should just [pause of awkward] come here, then.

[firecracker_hopping]

A-ah, really? I don't want to impose...

[vallinar]

You would not be, and if she believes so, it is my apartment, and she does not get a say in the matter as she technically does not live in it.

[firecracker_hopping]

That is true! Well, all right! Where do you live? Maybe I could come by tomorrow.

[vallinar]

[Pretend she gives you an address here, Lera. It will work out better for the both of us]

She should be here later in the day, so... perhaps then would be best?

[firecracker_hopping]

Sure. Sometime in the evening?

[vallinar]

Yes. Whenever is convenient.

[firecracker_hopping]

Fantastic. Dosevidinya!

[Then she hung up and realized again, ANAIS DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, aaaarrrgh]
