Man the help desk! professor_lyman May 21 2007, 06:37:28 UTC

Ping in here so people can call you!

This will only end well. Really.

Hermione's pretty prepared for this. After all, she's gotten phone calls from Ron in the past. This should be easy.

Re: Man the help desk! sizzler_sisters May 21 2007, 07:02:00 UTC

And lo, there was a ringing.

"Pick up the phooooooone," said one Jerry.

"Pick up the phone!"

"Pick up the phoooooooooooone."

"Pick it up! Pick it up!"

"Pick up the phooooooooooone!"

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 07:07:33 UTC

Hermione picks up the phone, trying to sound pleasant. "Hello, this is Hermione. How can I help you today?"

Re: Man the help desk! sizzler_sisters May 21 2007, 07:09:33 UTC

"Answer the phooooooooone," said one Jerry.

"Answer the phone, you prrrrrrick!"

"We are calling your help line!"

"We are not two clearly insane people!"

"We do not need your help!"

There was a moment or two of silence.

"Answer the phooooooooooooone," Jerry said.

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 07:11:54 UTC

Hermione frowns, and says, "I've already answered. How can I help you?"

Re: Man the help desk! sizzler_sisters May 21 2007, 23:01:28 UTC

"Answer the phoooooooooooooone," said one Jerry.

"We are calling your help line!"

"We cannot make tacos."

"We have none! No tacos!"

"We wish to purchase some tacos, from you."

"For the donkeys!"

"The donkeys drowned."

"We need new donkeys, Jerry," said one Jerry.

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 23:03:20 UTC

She wants to say they need medication.

What she says is, "I'm very sorry, but we don't sell tacos here." She can't stop the eyeroll, though.

Re: Man the help desk! sizzler_sisters May 21 2007, 23:14:54 UTC

They do. They really, really do.

"Yes! We don't either!"

"We have no need of your tacos!"

"Only our donkeys!"

"Give them back, you prrrrrrrrrrrrrick!"

"Or we shall be forced to unleash the hounds!"

"And the badgers!"

"And the rare Turkish coins!"

"We bribed the Royal Archduke of Spain with those."

"He's bringing us chemicals," said one Jerry helpfully.

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 23:15:52 UTC

"Are they in pill form?"

Re: Man the help desk! sizzler_sisters May 21 2007, 23:52:50 UTC

Both Jerries screamed.

"Not the pills!"

"Not the pills, Jerry!"

"Never the pills!"

"Not the piiiiiiiiiiiiiiills!"

"Jerry! The pills! They make us crazy!"

"Ab-so-lute-ly insane!"

"You can't make us! You can't make us!"

"We don't have the pills! You can't make us!"

There was a thud, as if a phone receiver had been dropped onto the ground. And then screaming from a distance, as if two clearly insane people were running around in circles flailing madly.

After figuring out the phone, Gavin called in.

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 16:31:33 UTC

Hermione picks up, answering, "You've reached Hermione, how can I help you today?"

Re: Man the help desk! sixstandingby May 21 2007, 16:36:32 UTC

"Who are...Siegfried and Roy?" Gavin asked.

Re: Man the help desk! smartestone May 21 2007, 16:38:59 UTC

Hermione frowns at the phone, and answers, "They're magicians in Las Vegas..."

Re: Man the help desk! sixstandingby May 21 2007, 16:39:56 UTC

He knew that much and that's not so bad. "Can you tell me more about them?"
