SWITCHBOARD

[transmittable]

If you'd like to ask the Transmitter something over the phone, go right ahead! The Transmitter will answer the phone as soon as she's available. Leaving messages is impossible, given how old these phones are, but you should be able to reach her at almost all hours.

Comments are screened for privacy; all Patients are offered confidentiality, didn't you know?

Comments

[heritrix]

Interesting. I assume the modifications include the "no exits" business. That really is a fire hazard, you know.

[Who approved this construction, they should have their license revoked.]

[transmittable]

It is. But there won't be any fires here.

[ No answer on the exists. Of course. ]

[heritrix]

[Of course.]

You have a fail safe planned in the event of that?

[transmittable]

There really WON'T be one but...yeah, we suppose.

[heritrix]

Mm.

[That's quite the guarantee. Luckily, Rin is just enough of a sane person that she's not quite willing to put this to the test.]

You're more personable than I would have expected, Transmitter.

[She's not sure what to think of that yet.]

[transmittable]

...Hm. Is that...so?

[ Sounds like she's not sure what to think of that. ]

Thank you.

[heritrix]

Don't thank me, that's strange. It was only an observation.

[She touches the inside of her elbow. At this point, she's mostly talking just to distract herself; she should call it a night soon.]

I might change my mind in the days to come, depending.

[transmittable]

If it's strange, isn't that more expected?

Of course, though, we don't expect any...positive opinions of us to remain, as this exercise continues.

[heritrix]

...Ah, that's more like it. We're back to foreboding.

[transmittable]

We like to keep an even mix.

[heritrix]

You know just what to say to a girl to keep her up at night.

[transmittable]

Hopefully not all night. You should get some rest, don't you think?

[heritrix]

[She wonders when the Transmitter sleeps. It's not like she keeps regular business hours.]

Yes, that's what I intended. We'll see how I actually manage in the end.

Good night, Transmitter.
