VOICEMAIL

[enjoymyatelier]

"...well, I suppose it's about time I make one of these things...

Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Lord Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. I am unable to answer at this time due to some other business I have to attend to, but state your purpose and I'll get back to you whenever I find the time."

[I'm cool with any sort of one-on-one stuff going on here so long as it starts with a voicemail! Obviously we'll need to plan if our characters are in the same area or not if we want to switch to action, but you know!]

Is it really, now? I hadn't realized it'd been that long yet.

...and honestly, I'd be more concerned with the bad luck angle if I thought there was any merit to it, given that there's the catch 22 of sending people embarrassing letters versus inviting disaster.

[timelymaid]

yeah
i mean when you think about it 2014 is nearly done!!
soon itll be 2015
kinda of hard to picture but true

okay yes
but if any of those things chased you i would come and chase them off
we can loophole our way out of this
or you can send it to anyone who has annoyed you recently
lmao including me i guess!!

Honestly, it'll probably feel stranger when April rolls back around, given that my my anniversary makes it seem more like the new year than the actual new year.

Well, you're practically obligated to do that now, if it does happen. I hope you have fire types prepared in the event that that occurs... and really, there is someone I was tempted to send it to, but it appears that she must've disappeared sometime while I was busy.

[timelymaid]

dont worry i have lots of fire types!!

oh?
who annoyed you that much out of curiosity

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, good. You'd best be prepared to leave the moment I hear buzzing, then.

And "annoyed" isn't the word for it --- it's the girl who got thrown in the pool in April. Really, I just think her reaction would be entertaining.

[timelymaid]

you can count on me!

haha i remember that
i mean i dont know her but
its kiiiind of hard to forget someone who gets thrown into a pool in the middle of a party
i wonder what she did to cause it

[enjoymyatelier]

I'm not certain, but there's practically a laundry list of things she could have done. She's... definitely that kind of person.

[timelymaid]

so i take it you didnt get on at all

[enjoymyatelier]

Not really, no. You'd think we would, but definitely not.

[timelymaid]

really?
i mean why would i think you would
from what youve said i would think you wouldnt really

[enjoymyatelier]

Well, we are both effectively nobility, I suppose. Though... not the same kind of nobility.

...It was a general you, not you personally.

[timelymaid]

well thats just silly
coming from the same general background doesnt at all mean youre going to get on with someone
in some cases it means the opposite!!
i mean you and i get along fine and were pretty much exactly opposite in backgrounds right?

did you actually get on with a lot of nobles at home kayneth

[enjoymyatelier]

I suppose so. Honestly, I found the one "aristocrat" I met from your world to be sad and insufferable, so at least I should have expected it.

[even other rich fucks don't like eridan...]

And... well, for the most part I did, yes. It really depended on the individual, though. There were a fair amount of people I had to grit my teeth and pretend to be amicable with through most of our dealings because they were complete idiots.

[timelymaid]

[ considering this....it was probably eridan, wasn't it. vriska wouldn't introduce herself as such, and feferi - has feferi ever been here? anyway, she's neither sad nor insufferable... ]

haha most people feel that way about eridan i think
he has a talent

i guess really it always will depend on the individual
i tended to get along with some of the highbloods more than others
though i spent most of my time with the lowbloods in our group of twelve

[enjoymyatelier]

He really does, doesn't he...? Honestly, that's who I'd compare Saionji to, thinking about it.

And... anyway, you're right. I really didn't have many interactions outside my class before I came here --- not serious ones, anyway. It was a bit of an experience, that.

[timelymaid]

haha even his friends!!
but he has his good points like anyone else does im sure

and now you are practically an expert at them!

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh, yes, I'm certain. They're just... apparently buried very deep.

Well, naturally. After all, talking to anyone is just a matter of proper diplomacy.

[timelymaid]

are you enjoying your time as a diplomat?

[enjoymyatelier]

Hah, for the most part, yes. Admittedly, in some cases, it can be trying...
