[mynightlywander]

[The voice is hesitant (what? She's talking to a plastic... thing), and a little high pitched with a lilt that belongs to someone much younger than the 19 year old it is coming from.]

H-hello?

[Expectant pause while she waits for something to answer.]

[Pause.]

[voice]

[Pause.]

[unyeilding]

Before you attack me with the object nearest to you, I would like to have a word.

[Filter: Demeter]

[unyeilding]

I would rather speak face to face. And somewhere with no easily-thrown objects.
