[Ahiru is highly annoyed. So annoyed, in fact, that this phone message is going out to just about anyone that may be around to hear it.]Come on, Fakir, it's been a couple of days now! I don't care if you said you were confiscating them, you shouldn't take stuff that doesn't belong to you! I hadn't even read some of the comics you took! You

[whatthequack]

QUA-!!

[Have the sound of the phone dropping as she throws her hands over her mouth.]

[whatthequack]

[And she quickly attempts to pick it back up, fumbling the whole time.]

How did you-?! Who told you I-?! Why do you sound like-?!

...Wh-who are you?

[white_pretear]

I'm Himeno Awayuki.

That guy, Fakir, he said you sounded like me, and that your name was Ahiru, you know, a duck.

[whatthequack]

Oh, uh, h-hello.

He did WHAT?! Wh-why did he tell you that?!

[white_pretear]

Well he thought I was you.

Well Ahiru is your name right? Or was he lying?

[whatthequack]

Yeah, I can tell why...

Uhhh, yes. What does that have to do with it?

[white_pretear]

I know. We really do sound alike...

Well Ahiru means duck in Japanese.

[whatthequack]

Uh huh. It's pretty weird.

...I-It does?

[white_pretear]

Really weird.

Yeah. It's weird you'd have a Japanese name when you aren't from Japan.

[whatthequack]

Yeah, I had no idea it was Japanese at all. It's just... my name. So, um, it really means "duck"?

[white_pretear]

Sure does. You must have some weird parents to name you that.

[whatthequack]

Err... hahaha. I guess you could say that!

[white_pretear]

Ah well.

So how long have you been here?

[whatthequack]

Oh, I've been here... [She pauses to count.] It's been six months, I think. How long have you been here?

[white_pretear]

Six months!? That long?
