3/3 ......... voice!

[clonizo]

[And finally there's a click and a voice coming through.]

is this the button-- oh.

... yeah. Right. [CLEARING HIS THROAT] I'll make sure to do that, if needed. Which it probably won't be. So. Uh. Thhhhhhhanksssss?

[Turns out, he's just Not Good At This in general.]

[blossominghopes]

[YOU DID IT HUNTER

Lia's happy to breeze past it, clearly unconcerned that he's Not Good At This.]

No problem, no problem~ And hey, never hurts to have options for backup or anything. Speaking of which, I'll likely be tapping you for it sometime soon, given those tears opening up outside the barrier.

voice

[clonizo]

[Thirty minutes or so later, Noa gets a response!]

Well not all of us are used to technology. I've had more important things to do than sit on a phone all day and learn how to type.

[...... maybe he shouldn't have gotten that response!]

voice

[clonizo]

[...............]

I have no idea what any of that means.

VIDEO

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

[HALF AN HOUR BRO.

He's swapping to Video like a SHOW-OFF.

As expected, that sure is a person's head on a cougar's body.] I think you'll find I've only been working more since being told to 'get used to' this thing.

And how long have you had your phone then?

voice

[switchaxe]

[Hey Hunter, this voice might sound familiar as a troublemaker who left the Order!]

It means robots text better than you.

[clonizo]

[Thankfully for Ayato, Hunter's figured out voice.]

Extremely uneventful. It was a simple mission with no abnormalities encountered along the way. I'm... not quite unpacked yet, but if you need me for a mission or anything, I can be ready in five, no-- two minutes!

[You really have your work cut out for you with this one, bud.]

Voice | UN: Kinich

[quit_ur_kiniching]

[... Kinich will take the immediate kind route by simply going straight to voice.]

Hunter. I see this team is going to get livelier than normal.

[And a lot more argumentative, probably.]

You don't need to text if you don't want to.

[clonizo]

Rrrrrrright.

[He's going to be squinting at his phone, bringing it about two inches from his face, as if that will make him hear better.]

Good thing I don't really care what robots do, then.

[Good thing he's so distracted by Technology™ that he's not placing this kind-of-familiar voice at all (6).]

permavoice!

[clonizo]

[Yeah, Hunter isn't even going to start trying to find the video button. He'll.... he'll figure out all of that another day.

... in the meantime, he is letting out a slightly startled noise and holding his phone out as far as he can in front of him.]

Oof. Do you... normally look like that? Or did you get cursed by a sphynx? [HUNTER, THAT'S RUDE.

... but at the very least, he's still answering Noa's question.] Two years, but I haven't needed to use it before moving here.

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

Hmm...I suppose if you haven't touched the thing until now that can be forgiven...

[How is he inspecting his paw like it's a manicured hand. Stop that.]

I was recruited during the summer, and ultimately commuted here to determine what happened to my paperwork, so had that time to adjust I suppose...

[He knows now, it's fine, it's all fine, mostly.

...

Hey,]

First of all, yes, second of all, I am a sphinx, third of all it was how Mother saved my life, thank you-!

[aw look he even bristles like a kitty-]

[sacredashes]

[He's always careful. For certain values of careful.]

If you need it. [He's better at cleaning up after other people than he is working with them... but he won't say that.] Just try not to make it a constant thing. You need to learn how to stand on your own, too.

[sacredashes]

[If Asch rolls his eyes any harder they're gonna pop right out of his skull. Self-righteous ass... He'll keep that to himself, though.] Whatever you say.

... So it's like that. My usual choice of partner isn't here, so I'll need to come up with an alternate strategy.

[A pause.]

Thanks for the tip.

[see he's not all bad]

[quit_ur_kiniching]

[Honestly, Asch could say that, but he wouldn't get any kind of reaction from Kinich for his trouble.]

If you can tolerate the noise, I won't object to a partnership.

[You brat, Asch.]

[blossominghopes]

[Something about that response has her clenching her jaw, but she... is going to leave that alone. Pick your battles, etc.]

Oh, trust me, it's not a case of me not knowing how to stand on my own. It's a case of me knowing my limits.

If I can handle a situation by myself, I will, but I'd really rather not get in over my head when I'm alone.

[sacredashes]

[He's so good at this making friends thing.]

Good. Preparation reduces the unforeseen factors on a mission, but it can't account for every possibility. The Spirit Realm is just too unpredictable.

[sacredashes]

[UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH...]

I can tolerate it. But only because this mission is the only action I've seen in weeks.

[HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU OR ANYTHING KINICH]

[blossominghopes]

Trust me, I am well aware, ahaha... I've been doing Spirit Realm troubleshooting for folks even before I signed on with the Order. The situation can change in an instant, but that's true of any dangerous situation.

[quit_ur_kiniching]

If I didn't know any better, I would think that you actually like my company.

Whenever you are ready, simply let me know.

[sacredashes]

Is that so? It must've been dangerous. The Black Order was less friendly toward that before the... restructuring.

[blossominghopes]

Haha, yeahhh, that was half the reason I never stuck around in one place for too long.

[Maybe she shouldn't be so casual about that, but it's not like it's a problem anymore.]

[sacredashes]

... You're either incredibly lucky, or incredibly stupid. Playing games with the old Order could have ended very badly for you.

[sorry about this guy]

[blossominghopes]

I was doing what I had to in order to keep my freedom instead of being forcibly recruited.

[Not that she'd call the life she was living back then particularly free, but it was better than the alternatives.]

Yeah, I won't deny I was lucky, but I wasn't playing games.

[sacredashes]

You know what they did to people they couldn't control, don't you?

If they had caught you and deemed you too much of a flight risk, you could have ended up sealed away at the bottom of the ocean.

[blossominghopes]

No, I didn't know, actually. Once I did join, I was under the impression they kept that part pretty damn secret.

I had no reason to know, no reason to want to.
