Hello. What can I do for you, stranger?

[ooc; Want to contact Link? Here's how. Please put the exact time and day your character is contacting him in the subject line.]

[Week 4 and onwards: In-person visits to his room are now available. Depending on the schedule, he may be here.

Comments

wednesday, 7am

[it's been a couple days since Gab came out of the vending machine - the previous day he was a bit too creeped out by the stereo chanting, but he's realizing that just giving the dog all of his ham may not be sufficient here, so. he's a bit hesitant, but here's a phone call out of necessity.]

Um, hi. Is there any way I can get some other things delivered to the house besides the bread and stuff? I need to feed my dog.

[champion_link]

[The phone picks up, and there's a brief pause before Link answers.]

Eric. Yes, the dog you received. It's somewhat unusual, but let me check.

[There's another pause, maybe about five seconds. There's a soft noise like paper being shuffled, before he responds.]

You will receive a bag with enough for each day with your morning delivery. Please take care not to lose it or portion it incorrectly, as we will not provide replacements.

[poorlovefool]

Thanks. That's a relief... There's been a few other animals in the vending machine, after all.

[champion_link]

Those who need a supply of food must submit individual requests. It's the nature of the paperwork.

[poorlovefool]

Paperwork... right. So you're working at a desk whenever you're not around us?

[champion_link]

We work in multiple places, wherever the schedule places us. We are assigned here for now, but might be assigned somewhere else in the future!

[poorlovefool]

Um. Wow, great...! Like where?

[champion_link]

To another City, where I can help even more people!

[poorlovefool]

So you like to help people, huh... is that some kind of thing with you?

Don't get me wrong, it's the right thing to do, but not everyone would want to choose where they live based on something like that.

[champion_link]

[There's a pause and the sound of a deep breath being taken.]

It is related to what I did before I came here. I will grant you that much.

But... why wouldn't you?

[poorlovefool]

[hmm! interesting! he's on to something... but give and take, he'll answer the question earnestly.]

Oh, you know. There's a lot of reasons to stay or go. Like staying close to your friends, or moving away to get married. That's a decision I thought I'd have to make once.

[champion_link]

[... Married... there's silence on his end of the line for exactly ten seconds before he speaks again.]

you won't have to worry about that once you join us. They'll be safe.

[poorlovefool]

[...you okay there link. oh, there he is.]

I won't. That decision already made itself a long time ago.

[although this implication that they'd have all of his people in whatever safety-land he's talking about is. concerning to say the least. no, it's creepy and he can't drop it, as much as he wanted to move on to asking about what he did before this.]

Are you speaking from experience?

[champion_link]

That's none of your concern, Eric.

Are you done? I really do need to get back to work.

[poorlovefool]

Um...

[that was prickly. he shouldn't push his luck.]

...yeah, I guess. Have a nice day!!

[champion_link]

And you as well!
