Wait...how do I...oh! It's recording right now? Okay, I've got this. Hello, people who are attempting to send a voice letter to me! Should I say my name? I should say my name. This is the voice letter box of Dwayne ir'Dorn. Just say your message after the beep. Did I do it right? Wait, I should probably-- **beep**

un: gorgug, text (1st week of mission)

[tinflower]

hey

do you check your texts?

[ You never know, okay! ]

UN: Wolfman, text

[will_chase_balls]

Yes. Every time I get a text this thing beeps so I look to see why it's beeping. I hope it never does that when stealth matters.

[tinflower]

you can make it vibrate instead. do you know how to change its settings?

[will_chase_balls]

No. I've been touching different things on the screen to figure out how it works, and I managed to change the username and someone helped me find how to do capital letters, but I haven't found anything that would make it vibrate instead of beeping.

[tinflower]

i can help you. you can make it text back for you so you don't have to care about capitals or texting. i had to the mammoth figure out his because he doesn't have hands

[will_chase_balls]

That would be great. Although I do have hands. Should we meet up for that?

[tinflower]

sure. we can hang out? i haven't been in a real city for a long time

[will_chase_balls]

Where did you want to meet up? The city I'm staying in is Palo Alto. I don't know if that's where they put you.

[tinflower]

i'm there too. everyone calls it the crime hub but me and my dads are all heroes. did you get that too?

[will_chase_balls]

I was told it was a crime hub, but apparently I'm supposed to be a villain? I'm not much of a villain, though.

[tinflower]

do you want to pretend to be one? i don't really want to be called a villain or hero

i mean... i guess a hero is better but the costumed stuff is weird

call | un:plushiewarrior | a week after her collapse on the rooftop

[reincarnesiac]

( ring ring, dwayne! )

Call | UN: Wolfman

[will_chase_balls]

Oh, hello! How are you feeling? Since the...uh...drunken collapse on the rooftop?

[He's assuming she's probably feeling better, since she was just drunk and any hangovers should be long gone.]

[reincarnesiac]

I'm entirely sober and have come to accept my regrets, which means I'm also apologizing for worrying you with that. It wasn't... even close to my best moment.

( a pause, and then: )

But I did mean what I said about finding the clippers! Tonight looks like we should have a good view of the sky, did you still want to try climbing a tower and stargazing after I give your wolfman self a doggie mani-pedi?

[will_chase_balls]

That's okay. I'm just glad you're all right.

And yes, I would! Where should we meet?

[reincarnesiac]

Hmm, do you want me to drive us out there? I have my motorcycle here now, and I have two helmets.

[will_chase_balls]

That would be great, because otherwise we'd be walking because I don't know how to drive.

Is riding on a motorcycle anything like riding on the back of a broom?

[reincarnesiac]

It is probably way kinder on your tailbone? Not really sure how you ride a broom, you'll have to tell me all about it!

Where are you right now?

[will_chase_balls]

At the apartments.

[reincarnesiac]

Hah, great! Okay, meet you out front in five then!

( And she is DOWN AND READY in five minutes, raring to go. By which I mean she shows up with her helmet on, visor up, and second helmet in her hands. )

Dwayne! Here, this is for you.

( She'll hold that helmet out as soon as she sees him. )

[will_chase_balls]

[With being expected down there in only five minutes, Dwayne decides not to get his armor on this time. There don't seem to be many unexpected threats in Etraya outside of missions so far, and he's been trying out wearing clothes he found here a bit more often, anyway. When he comes outside, he's wearing a red and black flannel shirt and jeans, as well as a pair of hiking boots. When the helmet's offered, he takes it and puts it on without much hesitation.]

Thanks!

[It might look different from the helmets he's familiar with, it's close enough that he understands what it is and how to put it on.]

So I guess you climb on in front, and I get behind you?

[reincarnesiac]

( Alex gives him a thumbs up and a smile, framed as her face is by her open visor. )

Yep! Hold on tight, too. I don't want you falling off, and my girl goes fast from go — even when I start her gently, she tends to jump right into things.

( She flips down her visor after, throwing her leg over the bike and seating herself as usual. There's a decent second seat behind her: Zayne might argue otherwise, but he wasn't a fan of motorcycles in general. Cars only, please. )

[ornithologist]

Mr. ir'Dorn, I'd like to take you up on your offer to be useful to the skinny nerds of the city, namely myself, if you don't mind.

Aurora will be otherwise occupied for a few weeks, and could use some assistance looking after the wildlife around Etraya. The ecosystem isn't naturally balanced, and the local predators will need to be fed. I thought you might be suitable to the task.

Re: un: finch | voice

[will_chase_balls]

Oh, yes! Definitely! I always have plenty of meat, and with my sense of smell I'd be able to track down the predators easily!

[ornithologist]

Thank you, sincerely. That's a relief to hear.
