[There's the familiar zap, and after some fumbling, Charles finally picks up the communicator, his hoarse voice addressing the device itself rather than anyone on the network.]

Stop doing that, I don't want to--

[...before tossing it against a wall with a loud thud and a crack.]

...I take it you didn't want to be disturbed?

[ooc: Doing this while I remember before passing out for sleep.]

[roseraiebleue]

How observant.

[ilovemywimp]

Unfortunately I don't think you can make the device suffer for it's mistake, no matter how much that might make you feel better, and sadly they don't break that easily.

[roseraiebleue]

I've been here almost two years, I know how they work.

[ilovemywimp]

Doesn't mean the frustration eases with time though.

[roseraiebleue]

It increases with each additional day, really.

[ilovemywimp]

Just endless waiting, it's not pleasant.

[roseraiebleue]

Particularly when the end you're so awaiting may never even come.

[ilovemywimp]

From the sounds of it you've experienced that once too often.

[roseraiebleue]

Of course. Not just here. I've been waiting for decades.

[ilovemywimp]

I'm certain I cannot fathom that, I apologise for bringing it up.
