seventh connection (voice; backdated to wednesday morning)
[It's fairly early when Aqua decides to call her Master - with the confusion from waking up so far away from most of her friends and almost immediately setting out to reunite with them, she hadn't really had time for many long conversations on the 'Gear. But she was less than a week away from Ecruteak, now, and then they could figure up how best to meet up - she could afford to slow her pace a little, concentrate on other things besides the path. And besides, she'd been wanting to ask Eraqus about things. Now might be the best time; there wouldn't be any interruptions on her end, at least.
Fiddling with the settings to contact her Master directly, she opens her mouth to speak--
The Pokegear you have dialed is not in service.
and closes it, abruptly. She tries again - maybe it's just a mistake - with no better luck.]
[But a short while after that, her voice shows up on the network - and Aqua sounds nearly as tired as she did when she first woke up. It's short, but she doesn't have much to say, after all.]
Has... Anyone seen Master Eraqus around? His Gear isn't working...
[though from the sound of her voice, she knows what that means as well as anyone else.]
