Good evening, is there a Miss "Shihouin" available to speak?

I already own a juicer. And he doesn't cost nearly that much.

[So she was going to go on with the sales pitch but]

..."He"?

[Yoru has that affect on people sometimes.]

Yes. He juices, cooks and does everything else I can't be bothered to do. So I'm afraid I don't need one of your devices.

[SISTER I HEARS YA]

If only all of us were so lucky...... Where's this magical land where you found such a guy?

Oh, I grew up with him. But that's not to say he's never any trouble.

[This is the oddest telemarketing call she's ever taken, but being Yoruichi, she'll just roll with it.]

Ahhh, the victorious childhood friend... [Well, there's Kyuubei, but....] Well, what man isn't, am I right?

[suddenly, raising her voice]--WHY YES MA'AM, THIS OFFER IS IN FACT ONE DAY ONLY--

..Sorry, my manager was walking by. Anyway, this way you could have him do other work while you have the juicer going, huh?

Exactly. They're all a bother, sooner or later; I guess it's just their way of keeping our attention.

[chuckles]

Nah, no problem. Anyway, the idea of putting him to more work is tempting, but that is way too much money for a juicer.

But if they're useful for something, they're less of a bother, I guess.

[Hushed whisper] Oh, don't I know it. You should see what they're trying to sell some of these cosmetic lines for!

Re: [PHONECALL] goneonenight July 10 2010, 04:21:16 UTC

That's the only reason to keep them around. Otherwise, I'd say you're better off alone.

[She raises her eyebrows, not that Tae can see]

So everything's overpriced, huh? Figures. What else do they sell?

Amen to that.

[Thoughtful pause] What are you interested in? It seems they put people on these calling lists by 'interest' based on what you buy around the ship and then make us call through all the lists....

Haaaah. That explains it--I do buy a lot of food.

Do you have any rice cookers?
