[For once, you get a video of Phonos, dressed in a men's white button-down shirt and black boxers, sitting awkwardly in the computer chair.]

Certainly I cannot attend work like this. What am I meant to tell them?

Have someone call in for you. You can borrow some of my clothes. I will not be needing them right now.

[unbiaseddeath]

...Melinoe?

[blesseddeath]

No.

[unbiaseddeath]

I apologize. I cannot recognize anyone.

[myownsea]

You could call in sick? As a sibling?

[unbiaseddeath]

I am uncertain as to what illness to claim, given that I do not know how long this is intended to last. I have also already informed them that I am without siblings.

[myownsea]

Oh. Oh um. Perhaps a girl...friend? I do not know really anything about diseases though.

[unbiaseddeath]

..Perhaps.

[morphingreality]

Temporarily inconvenienced. Horrendously sick. Identity crisis. Family emergency.

Anyone can have a younger cousin who calls in for their suddenly unavailable older cousin, without notice.

[unbiaseddeath]

A cousin?

[morphingreality]

Say that you are, your own, cousin.

[helmed_darkness]

Tell them nothing.

[unbiaseddeath]

Then I would be fired.

[helmed_darkness]

Explain there is a matter of pressing importance to be attended to. Relate it to family or health. Mortals seem to react strongly to such excuses.

[unbiaseddeath]

I will consider this.

[...SIGH.] Who are you?

[of_victory]

Apparently I have the same problem.

[unbiaseddeath]

What occupation do you work in?

[of_victory]

I am a teacher. Creative Writing. And you?

[unbiaseddeath]

A medical examiner with the state police department.
