This mailbox is currently useless and I'm not bothering with it. Please try my secretary.

voicemail, Oct 2nd

[maddeninghatter]

[ A terse message: ]

Have you seen, er, that useless moron lately?

[Text]

[soul_sister]

[It takes her a long moment of fretting to decide what and what not to write back to Break. For all that she's not sure how much he knows, she also made a promise...]

been taking care of him. hes wretched sick

[Text]

[maddeninghatter]

[ ........what?

He'd expected upset or depressed, but not sick. ]

Is he in the clinic?

[ That's the one place he hadn't looked for Kevin. ]

[soul_sister]

no! He's being stupid.

[And floppy... and disturbingly translucent.]

doing better today anyway

[maddeninghatter]

[ And who is surprised? ]

Where is he hiding?

1/3

[soul_sister]

[... THIS IS BAD.

ONE ON HAND, she had warned him that there was simply no way that he could even begin to go through this without SOME kind of explanation and he couldn't just hide forever.

BUT ON THE OTHER, leading someone right there is quite a bit like telling people herself.

On the third, mythical hand, how would someone like the table monster even react to it?

On the even less probable fourth hand, she'd only ever heard him like he was in that voicemail once and he was sincerely upset.]

[soul_sister]

[WHAT IF SHE JUST DOESN'T REPLY AT ALL!

HA HA HA OOPS IT GOT LOST!]

[soul_sister]

[No that's even more suspicious.


After a far too suspiciously long delay, Break receives the following text:]

one of the spare rooms.

[BRILLIANCE!!!]

Voice

[maddeninghatter]

I'll bet you've got him in your bedroom.

[ CREEPER VOICE ]

In your bed, right~?

Voice

[soul_sister]

[As the audio line opens unexpectedly, Break is treated to an alarmed GEH! and the sound of her tablet clattering to the ground. It's followed swiftly by a pick up and a grip so hard the plastic complains.]

WHAT?!

IT'S NOT EVEN THE SAME WING!!

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN IMPLYING?! I'LL CRUSH YOU!

Voice

[maddeninghatter]

Ha! Ha! Ha! Reacting like that, it's practically an admission.

I'll bet you've spent hours nursing him back to health, just the two of you, all romantic~♥

[ He's making noisy KISSY-KISSY noises on the other end of the line. ]

[soul_sister]

[The sound that follows is nothing like human speech, but a vocalization of unadulterated offense and rage.]

DON'T JUST MAKE UP ANYTHING YOU PLEASE!! You're the one who comes up with weird ideas!

[maddeninghatter]

Ahahaha, now I completely understand why you won't tell me where he is. Sorry if I've interrupted anything, cheerio~!

[ HANGS UP ]

1/3

[soul_sister]

Wha---

[soul_sister]

[Interrupted anything?!?]

[soul_sister]

[CAN SHE REDIAL SOMEONE BY PUNCHING A TABLET?

LETS FIND OUT!





Spoilers: She sure can.]

PICK UP YOU TWISTED NOODLE!

[maddeninghatter]

[ On the fifth ring-- ]

Whyyy are you calling me names, that's not very nice. I said I was sorry~.

[soul_sister]

You're apologizing for the wrong thing!

APOLOGIZE FOR THE RIGHT THING!

[maddeninghatter]

[ In quite a different tone of voice: ]

Apologize to you for having to manage that idiot all on your own, what with everything else going on? Yes, all right.

[soul_sister]

[For someone as skilled as she is in inflicting mood whiplashes on other people, getting a taste of her own tactics is a bit jarring.]

That's not really ...


Look... ... if you want to help, you have to promise not to make a big deal out of how he looks, okay?

[maddeninghatter]

[ ... ]

I promise.

[soul_sister]

I'll hold you to that.

[There isn't really any bite to her tone. The fact that she's relenting at all is a fair testament to her trust.

She gives him directions to one of the still unoccupied units.]

[maddeninghatter]

[ Excellent!





...also: ]

How are you getting along, hm?

[ For all your chair-throwing, Rosette, he knows you're a kid. ]

[soul_sister]

[Not that the chair throwing was any great mark of maturity in and of itself.

However, how she's doing ...? She has never made it a practice to think about.]

Busy! I have a couple of really promising missions lined up. I'm sure we'll be making headway on the situation before you know it.

I wonder, honestly, if we'll even remember it happened.

[maddeninghatter]

Missions--

[ To gather supplies, he was going to ask, until her comment about not remembering.... ]

You mean to change the past.
