Day 61 | Phone call to all | Tell me everything.

[mylordtoyou]

[He had been forewarned about what using this device would be like, a brief instruction giving him tools enough for his purpose.  Yet he used it with great caution, as the small boxy object with which he could 'call' on the whole of the town made him wary.  When the last of the rings cut off with the call being picked up, that soft little click, he

Useless.

[mylordtoyou]

[Oh really?]

Might I inquire, madam, what foundations you have for your statement?

[lilbloodeyes]

Because your words mean nothing.

[Where previously he though he heard the voice of an overzealous creature, he now surmounted this ridiculousness to not only a woman, but one who suffered from hysteria. Nothing to get offended over.

[Doesn't help that she could speak in full sentences if she wanted to.]

Some die quicker then others. Because they're stupid. Should know. Humans do stupid all time. Like you.

[mylordtoyou]

[How very interesting the young woman thought to excuse herself from humanity.]

There is not a creature on this earth without his moments of ill decision.

What is your name?

[It's a polite thing to ask. It will also allow him to ask questions later far better than if he doesn't know what she goes by.]

[lilbloodeyes]

Hrrrrrrrghn. Number four. Miata.
