[The voice of an unassuming young woman is in your inbox today, Elaine.]

Hi. I was...calling about the job. My name is Cassandra. I can...help out if you need. Thanks.

Um, call back.

phonecall; God livejournal send me NOTIFS!

[athermercy]

[Ring! Ring!]

phonecall; gosh, I know :(

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

[She answers on the third ring.]

Hello?

phonecall;

[athermercy]

Cassandra? This is Elaine. I got your message. What can I do for you?

phonecall;

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

Oh. I...wanted to know if I could work at the Lux.

phonecall;

[athermercy]

Of course you can. What job d'you think you'll like?

phonecall;

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

I could...learn how to serve.

[Not very appealing. What were the other jobs? Bartending, piano--]

Piano?

phonecall;

[athermercy]

A waitress?

[Yeah. That sounds boring to her too.]

Do you know how to play it?

phonecall;

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't. But...]

I'm a fast learner.

phonecall;

[athermercy]

Cool. So I am.

[She laughs briefly]

I've never run a piano club before. Why don't you come over?

phonecall;

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.]

Okay. [A beat.] Now?

phonecall;

[athermercy]

If you like.

phonecall;

[bodyreads.livejournal.com]

[She pauses. She needs to go out and do things later, so--]

Now's good...if that's okay.

phonecall;

[athermercy]

Sure. I'll be waiting.

voicemail; dated to the 26th-ish

Hello? [ She hopes this is the right number. It would be embarrassing if it wasn't. ]

My name is Yako Katsuragi. I'm... calling about one of your bartenders at the Lux. His name is Naoya?

He's a friend of mine, and it's his birthday on the 29th. If it isn't too much trouble, I wanted to know if it was all right to, um, surprise him at the Masquerade? He'd probably be able to tell if we planned any other surprises for him, so it seemed like the only way he wouldn't expect it.

Thanks for listening. Um. Let me know if it's all right.

phonecall;

[athermercy]

[ Ring! Ring! ]

phonecall;

[topslug.livejournal.com]

Hello, you've reached Katsuragi.

phonecall;

[athermercy]

Hi. This is Elaine, the owner of the Lux. Nice to meet you.

phonecall;

[topslug.livejournal.com]

Oh! [ Well, that was fast. ] It's nice to meet you, too.

You got my message?

phonecall;

[athermercy]

I did.

What were you thinking?

phonecall;

[topslug.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I wasn't planning on springing anything on him except a birthday cake and maybe a song or two. I'm not very good with surprises. [ She laughs sheepishly. ] Did you have a better idea?

phonecall;

[athermercy]

We can go for those and a brief toast for him. There will be many food tables, one would be reserved specially for him.

With all his favorite meals. Do you know them?

phonecall;

[topslug.livejournal.com]

Would that really be all right? Thank you! I'd love to help out any way I can.

[ Pause. ] I don't think he's picky about meals, but he does like sweet things. I know his favorite dessert is dango.

phonecall; you can mod there's a table filled with dango and sweets reserved for them :3

[athermercy]

Of course! I'll have the orchestra play the happy birthday tune at some point.

Okaay. Got it.

phonecall; awesome +A+b that works for meee

[topslug.livejournal.com]

Thanks-- I mean, really, thank you. [ Any other person would probably be able to hear Yako smiling; Elaine probably knows she is. ]

I really appreciate this. I'm sure he will too. [ Well, maybe. In the cockles of his shriveled heart. ]
