[kyudousha]

Oi. Pick up already.

[resonancy]

[as you wish!]

-- Hello?

[kyudousha]

About damn time.

[resonancy]

Oh-- Hey, Rita. What's up?

[there's a bit of silence for a minute, then Draco finally starts to speak.]

This is likely rather late. In the long run, it's probably better to ignore, in fact.

[another bit of a silence, during which he clears his throat. Awkward Draco is awkward.] I don't suppose you're going round that police ball? Apparently having a date is recommended.

[resonancy]

[...after hearing the message, he isn't the only one that's awkward. if anything, though, Maka's surprised she got such a message at all; a date? to a ball? after letting this sink into her mind, she decides to call back; surprising or not, circumstances made it impossible to agree to it.]

U- um-- Draco? I'm really sorry, but I wouldn't be able to go...

[mudbloodhater]

[he's not sure exactly what circumstances involve not being able to go; she certainly doesn't act like a criminal or anything. But either way, he's just going to be casual - it's not a huge deal, after all.]

No matter. I expect you've other things to do, hm?

[resonancy]

Yeah, it's something like that. [a pause] ... I'm out in the middle of the desert with some others, though I'm starting to find out this was a bad idea in the end.

Backdated to the morning of the 13th (day of the banquet.)

[phantomfenton]

*Appears on the screen looking flustered and uncertain. When he talks, his words jumble up into one huge sentence, only barely staying this side of wanton babbling.*

Hey, uh, Maka--I'm sorry to bother you with this, but it's seriously last minute, and I haven't been able to get rid of these tickets, and I really, really need a date for this police banquet that's happening tonight at seven.

Can you make it?

[kyudousha]

[Looooong silence.

Then.

Um.]

... this is Rita.

[paause]

Call me back. ... or something.

[resonancy]

[and a call back you get /o/]

Hey-- what's up?

[kyudousha]

[So awkward. And subdued. And nnnnnngh.]

... there's a book... that I've been meaning to buy.

[resonancy]

[d'aw, no need to be shy, Rita. though, Maka's curiosity is piqued.]

-- Oh! What kind are you looking for?

[soloriens]
