[ Important question, what time of day are you calling? How long after the incentive? ]
[ Because this is apparently an important question to ask today, what time are you calling at? ]
W2; Wednesday morning; I'm sorry Week Two is apparently the week of endless Asgore calls

Transmitter? Are you awake?
[It's actually closer to early afternoon than morning, but she's a teenager. It's good to check.]

[ Mercifully, there isn't much of a delay between Asgore's call and the answer, and also mercifully, the feedback and static are at normal levels. Normal Transmitter call here. ]
For the last six hours. Uh, hi, Inspiring.
For the last six hours. Uh, hi, Inspiring.
[ There's an answer, immediately, and thankfully the feedback and static, it's all the same. ...There's no voice yet, but...he can hear a familiar breath catch, as if someone tried to speak and couldn't.

H- hi.

H- hi.
[ Calls to the Transmitter mean, since the phones are outdated like the PA system apparently, feedback and static, and of course distortion. Luckily, this is nothing like Tuesday's incentive announcement; it's the Transmitter's voice, with all that implies. You can actually probably hear her a little clearer than on the PA? Regardless, she answers swiftly. ]
Yes, Committed? What's up?
Yes, Committed? What's up?
[And as promised here we are.]
Hey, are you there?
[His voice is pretty calm, surprisingly.]

[ Kogami receives a quick reply. It's full of feedback and static, as he's heard on the PA system, and a good deal of distortion, but it's nothing like the adventure from Tuesday. In fact, you can probably hear her a little clearer. She matches his calm. ]
Right here, Deductive.

....Misty? You there?
[There's some pretty obvious hesitation in his voice, but he doesn't sound apprehensive.]

[ The feedback, static, distortion - it's all consistent with the times Greed's called aside from Tuesday. ]
Yeah. I'm here today.
Yeah. I'm here today.
[ Usual filters, usual sound. Usual Transmitter. ]
Ha- better, stop. Less bad, stop.
Ha- better, stop. Less bad, stop.
[ The night of the trial - actually fairly shortly after they're let out: ]
Misty, are you able to talk? Would you prefer that I text, or that I call later?
Misty, are you able to talk? Would you prefer that I text, or that I call later?
[ Wow, fast. She answers relatively quickly, as usual. ]
We can talk. It's been a busy day so far, as you obviously know, but we're free now.

[ Finally, an evening date. She answers after a moment with a surprised little laugh. ]
Are you... What have you been doing, are you a butler?

Shoulders are a little stiff, but giving it some time.
Hi, Hardcore. You're not happy with the new area?

[No context or anything. Good afternoon, whoever chooses to answer.
And if they're familiar with Pascal, well, there they go.]

[ A moment, with a little extra static, and then. ]
"We view things not only from different sides, but with different eyes; we have no wish to find them alike."
Hello, Deductive. Are you bored?

[It's Sunday, everything is wonderful, and she absolutely needs to talk to the Transmitter. Normally she would text, but after spending a day in the pool, she's bubbling with so much excitement that she goes straight for the phone.]
Hello? Transmitter-san?
[God she sounds positively delighted.]

[ In contrast, the Transmitter's subdued. ]
Assiduous? Good evening.

Feel free to shoot me for the double up I didn't think about the timing my bad

[ Within an hour or so of the incentive announcement: ]
Ah, hello! Is this Misty? Or one of the Risen? Someone else?
Ah, hello! Is this Misty? Or one of the Risen? Someone else?
[ Unlike the last many times Nachetanya's called, there's...a delay, and then an excess of feedback and screeching. It's almost like a the constant sound of a radio needing to be tuned very badly. The Transmitter's voice - it is in there - is covered with much distortion, like during the incentive announcement. ]
Assertive. Bing-bang-boom, you sure are eager to talk to us. You've reached the Risen. What do you need, little rabbit?

So I didn't realize it until sometime last week, but apparently you and I are close in age? It was hard to tell from the way it was scribbled.
[Rin has a lot of questions she wants to ask, but she's taking a suggestion of a few others here before asking them. What will a casual conversation with the Transmitter bring?]

Oh, yeah, I guess we are! R- uh, well someone asked me to put up a profile, and you know, it was a good idea. Good evening, Courageous.
[ She sounds...upbeat. More than you've heard her before. ]
[ She sounds...upbeat. More than you've heard her before. ]
[Rin thinks about waiting an hour. Let the Transmitter recover, maybe nurse that migraine and have a clearer conversation. But she's not the one threatening the Patients, is she? Better to cut out the middleman. And what's more, Rin hasn't talked to the Risen yet.
She's not sure if they'll hang around today like they did last week, but Rin will be on the phone in as short a time as it takes it to get to her room, voice colder than the storm that's been surrounding the hospital for weeks.]
I request an audience.

[ When Rin calls, it sounds different than her previous talks with the Transmitter. Like her near-miss last Tuesday, there's an increased amount of static, there's more feedback, but there's also this horrible electronic screeching. It sounds almost like a radio in need of tuning. The voice that speaks to her is the Transmitter's...sort of. It's extremely distorted, like in that announcement. ]
Ohh, you're always in our audience, Courageous. But then, you're also on stage. How funny, a witness and a performer. Did you like our little show today?

[ How long after the incentive are you calling? ]
[ That there is! It's much like the first time George called. The same amounts of clarity, static, feedback, and distortion. The Transmitter answers in a tired sort of voice. ]
Hello there, Confident.
Hello there, Confident.
[ ...oh no. ]
Uhh. Why do you ask, Committed...?
[ The Transmitter sounds...tired, that's for sure, but it's surely her, and not the Risen. ]

Hi, Transmitter!
I know we just talked yesterday, but I wanted to check and see if you were alright. I know people were saying you were feeling pretty bad after it happened last week, so... Anyways, um, if you're not up for talking, that's okay!

[ It's the same sounds as when Rose has called the Transmitter in the past; the same level of clarity, static, feedback, etc. The only difference is the Transmitter sounds tired. ]
No, no. I am. 'evening, Gracious. Hi. How was your day?
No, no. I am. 'evening, Gracious. Hi. How was your day?
[When the Transmitter answers, she may hear a nervous chuckle]
Hahah...hello. Hey there. It's me. I wanted to apologize, I'm sorry for--for trying to blow up the walls with lemons. That didn't go too well.
But on the bright side, there's this nice citrus smell over there, so it's not all bad. Everything's fine!

[ Wh...y..... The Transmitter takes a few moment to respond, sounding just. Confused. ]
Why... Don't try to blow up my walls.
Why... Don't try to blow up my walls.
[This will be a short conversation, Rin thinks, when she takes a seat at her messy desk. No time for pleasantries, or teenage girl chat. All she wants are straightforward answers, so she can make her decision by the end of the night. She has a clearer head than she did two days ago, but the threat is still lingering there; in the center of her brain, and in her heart.
It will be straightforward, and yet when Rin opens her mouth, the question that comes out isn't one of the simple ones she wrote down.]
Do you miss the sun?

Do you miss the sun?
[ The answer Rin receives is not like her last call. It's like her calls before, feedback and static, but a softer and gentler voice on the other end. ]
Every single day.
Every single day.
Wh- pfft--
[ One moment, pause for laughter. ]
