"Hello. This is Raven. I apologize for circumstances rendering me unable to answer the phone. If you would like, you may leave me a message, and I will speak to you when I return."

"Hi, Rachel. This is Jackie Blue down at 'Dite's Decadent Delights, and I have a job for you!" She sounded so excited. "You probably already know, but the store is at 31 Mallard Way, right across from the flower shop. I'd like you to work on Tuesdays, and store hours are from one to nine in the evening. If you have any questions, come see me, or give me a call! The number is 555-LOVE. See you soon!"
"Rachel? It's Aphrodite. I was wondering if you could take a Saturday shift at the store this week? I need to leave town right after I close today, so please give me a call if that's a problem. Thanks! Byeee!"
Raven called back and left a message to confirm she would be there. When she hung up, she stared at the phone, puzzled. Did she say Aphrodite? It certainly sounded like Ms. Blue though.
Karla wasn't going to leave her name. It was a Thing.
"Hey Raven, I'm throwing Tahiri a kind of dinner party to celebrate her becoming a Knight and getting through, uhh, everything recently."
Karla was deliberately vague on the 'everything.'
"It's this Friday evening at handwavy time. Up on the sixth floor. Oh, and completely NOT FANCY. There won't be sixteen forks or anything. Eew. Just some of Tahiri's friends having dinner. And ice cream. Of course. See you there, I hope!"
"Okay, I don't know about you, but if you have wings? That's awesome. You shouldn't hide it. Just... be what you're comfortable being. Why hide something beautiful?"
One day, Karla would learn the importance of leaving her name. Or maybe not, since Crazy Phone Day hasn't taught her...
"I've got to go away for a few days. I'm sorry, I know this is kind of a rotten time for me to bail, but something's come up. I don't know how long I'll be gone, exactly, but hopefully I'll be back soon. I've got to run. See you later, okay?"
