[A voice comes over the Mayfield network. It's rather fuzzy, as though it didn't orginate from the phone given to every Mayfield Citizen, but another signal getting picked up by the network.]I know you're looking for me.

[reascends]

What are you doing?

[coolbowtie]

[Looks up at her and then back down at his device]

Nothing.

[reascends]

It doesn't look like nothing.

[coolbowtie]

It's not working, so it's nothing right now.

[reascends]

[sits on a swing. she doesn't really get how it works so she's sitting awkwardly.] What is it?

[coolbowtie]

...A communicator, I use it to talk to my friends, but it doesn't seem to work here.

[reascends]

What's that mean? [she's getting tired of not knowing how anything works in this stupid future-world.]

[coolbowtie]

It means that I talk into it and whoever has the other ones can hear me and talk back. It's really powerful so it means it should still work even on Earth.

[reascends]

[the concept is so bizarre to her.] You talk to that object? And your friends will hear you?

[coolbowtie]

Yeah. It transmits a signal to their transmitter, it's just like mine, but the signal won't go through.

...Or they won't pick up my message.

[reascends]

[s-signal... transmitter... she is starting to hate your vocabulary........

but she can understand the idea of receiving messages.]

They are ignoring you.

[coolbowtie]

[he hangs his head to stare at the his shoes brushing the dirt as he sways on the swing. There's your answer]

[reascends]

What will you do about it?

[coolbowtie]

I can boost the signal, but I can't make him stop ignoring me.

...I've been trying.

[reascends]

Did you make him angry?

[coolbowtie]

I dunno, I don't think so. It's been like this since our initiation at the academy.
