cellphone call

[angelskills]

[ It's been a while since she's talked to Julien, and he may know something about the sculptor, Proud. He seemed to be pretty artsy! And he also knew a lot of people. Plus, she trusted him. Who else better to call? So she dials his number and waits as the phone rings. ]

[espigeonage]

[He starts talking immediately after picking up.]

Hello, pretty maid! Are you asking for me? Do you have a boyfriend yet? Is he prettier than me? Hahaha, I'm joking, don't worry!

[angelskills]

[ Oh! He sounds to be in good spirits! ]

Hehe, hi! I know you are. But no, no boyfriend!

[ She laughs a little. ]

How are you?

[espigeonage]

Whaat? Oh, surely one so fair as you can take her pick! Girls, boys, adorable others~

I'm tired of being on this bus! Aren't long rides the worst? But I feel all the better for hearing your voice, haha! How are you?

[angelskills]

I'm glad I could make you feel better! I'm okay, though I did have a question for you if you have time!

[espigeonage]

I always have time for a pretty girl, though, my height and weight are classified. [For a moment he tries to sober his voice and sound like someone out of a Bond movie but he's not very good at it.] Fire away!

[angelskills]

I was just wondering... do you know anything about that sculptor who made those statues? Proud?

[espigeonage]

- the statues? Uh, hang on...

The ones at the super posh gallery where I saw you, right? Snakes. Sorry, Colette, some of my other friends were interested to, but they're mysterious!

[angelskills]

Yeah... the wolf one too...

They are! They do seem to be connected to all the weird things that have been happening to everyone. Do you think Proud is somehow doing that on purpose?

[espigeonage]

Right, there was a wolf. ...Weird things, huh? Um, I don't think I've noticed anything all that weird. It's a little odd that they're so popular, but not that weird, these things happen.

[angelskills]

Huh? What do you mean?

[ Of course they're weird. Julien... ]

A lot of the memories are happening because of them, aren't they?

[espigeonage]

Sorry? I think you lost me, really. Memories?

[angelskills]

The network? The weird stuff?

[espigeonage]

Which network? What weird stuff? I... hate to say this, but maybe you called the wrong number?

[angelskills]

I... um, I don't think so...

Are you feeling okay?

[espigeonage]

I feel great! Never better, aside from kind of cooped up in a bus too long, haha. Is something wrong?

[angelskills]

Um...

[ WORRY

WORRY WORRY WORRY ]

No, I'm sorry! I, maybe... no, nevermind. I'm sorry to have bothered you!

[espigeonage]

You sound like something's wrong. [He doesn't sound like he's joking at all.] Really, I can't get back for a while but are you in trouble, or something?

[angelskills]

No, no, I'm fine.

[ It's you she's worried about, right now. This is very... very strange. ]

Let's... let's talk when you get back, okay?

[espigeonage]

If... if you say so. Sure! I can send you a call or a text when I'm back in the area, I'm not sure about the exact day. Not sure what I can do to help here, but hey.

[angelskills]

Okay. ... Take care of yourself, all right?

[espigeonage]

Sure. You too. Sorry to worry you, Colette, I just really have no idea what you're talking about.

[angelskills]

It's okay! It must be me, aheheh...

See you soon!

[espigeonage]

Mm. Well, adieu for now, then! Good luck with whatever it is!

[angelskills]

Thank you. Goodbye!

[ She hangs up and stares at her phone for a few minutes, not really sure how to take in what just happened. He... really didn't know what she was talking about? It was almost surreal, crazy. Had something happened to him? Ahhh... worries. ]
