Shiroe, it's Re-l. If you could call me back at some point, I'd appreciate it.

Hello. How are you?

[zealouspeter]

[a ten second pause.]

I'm fine. How are you?

[ sometime over the course of the day, shiroe will be able to find a picture slipped under his door. ]

[zealouspeter]

[... who...?]

[and what...?]

[... but for some reason, it was cute.]

[gaveherwings]

It's Daedalus. Sorry to be late about it- but I have to call off breakfast. I do, however, need to talk to you, so call me back at your soonest convenience.

[zealouspeter]

[ten minutes later, and he's calling back.]

Daedalus?

[gaveherwings]

Shiroe. [His voice is urgent, and serious.] Please listen to me. I need your cooperation.

First thing after morning siren, I want you to pack up an overnight bag and your computer, and come to the hospital. There will be an ongoing investigation that I don't want you caught up in- also, you'll need some quiet, I'd imagine, to study for finals.

Keep out of the affairs of your household tonight, and do not let them know that you will be staying with me.

[zealouspeter]

[a quick, sharp pause --]

Who does it involve?

[he isn't saying no, exactly, but even that seriousness won't get him to immediately agree.]

[Calling you, Shiroe. Pick up.]

[zealouspeter]

[what if he doesn't want to!]

[... which is to say, on the third ring, you've got him.]

Rin.

[payback]

Shiroe.

[She's definitely a little exasperated there, yes.]

[zealouspeter]

She wouldn't take the copy.

[he, on the other hand, sounds the same as if a particularly cheery bird could talk.]

Shiroe,

Hello, my name is Emma Frost. I'm a friend of Dr. Xavier's, who recommended you when I mentioned looking for a computer programmer. I'd be expecting to pay adult rates for a small project and a small-to-medium project, both of them fairly straightforward but I do need them optimized. We'd have to haggle over exact amounts. If you're interested, give me a call -- the gist of it is enabling network education.

Voice --> call back.

[zealouspeter]

[well. that sounded more than interesting.]

[needless to say, he was calling back rather quickly.]

Re: Voice --> call back.

[frosty_mind]

Hello, Emma Frost speaking.

[zealouspeter]

This is Shiroe. You wanted some computer work done? By when, exactly?
