[The recording begins regularly enough. A deep voice intones with all the enthusiasm of a call center operator giving their rote pitch:]
Hello, this is Waver Velvet. Leave a short message with date, time, and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...
[Suddenly there is an excited voice in the background clamoring for Waver's attention and not going to let up until Waver completely gives them exactly that.]
Stop! Idiot! Can't you see I'm trying to record something?!
... hold on! Hold on!
[This thing still on? Yes? Okay then...]
Give me your number! I'll call you back when I bloody well can!
[More excited cajoling and Waver squawking before the recording goes click!]
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
[Oh dear. Oh dear. ... Waver hasn't gotten around to changing this, has he? You're hearing it, after all. Maybe you should... remind him to change his voice mail message. After you leave your message.
Remember! Leave a number!]
[voice]
[He smiles. Waver always worries. Not that his doubts are unfounded. Almost anything can happen. He doesn't know this woman. She doesn't know him. Even if she asked around. Technically, she doesn't even know herself with memory loss and all the other problems that go with it. Still, she's willing to take the risk. Why wouldn't he?]
I'm not going to do anything stupid. I promise. I just want to give her a chance. If it doesn't work that it doesn't and we'll part ways.
[voice]
[There's a fond smile at the other end. Stupid? They're both idiots but they aren't fools. Besides they have each other to back the other up. Neither of them have to go it alone.]
We'll see what comes and figure it out.
I'll see you for dinner. Anything you want me to bring with me from Kyoto or do you want me to surprise you?
[Surprise option means what Waver figures is Iskandar's comfort foods and the best wine he can hunt down. Not that they don't already have wine, but the both of them go through it like water.]
[voice]
[And Iskandar has been too optimistic way too often. That's what makes them such a good team. They complement each other in more things than just that.]
Mhhm... you're there. You know what's interesting.
[He would never say no to wine.]
But you don't have to bring me anything. Just come back home.
[voice]
I'll see you soon. I just have to clean up a little here first.
[His shrine is located at Kyoto University and there's always some minor ayakashi running around the grounds drawn to stressed out students like mosquitoes. It's good hunting practice with Eirene just to do some housekeeping each and every time he comes through. Now that he's done with the prayer (also on the grounds), he'll take care of that before grabbing a few things and returning to the Far Shore.]
Re: [voice]
Now you're just making me curious. Can't wait to see what is that came up with.
[He looks at the time. Nesir could be here any moment now.]
I really have to go. Good luck with that cleanup.
[voice]
[Click. A hunting for ayakashi we shall go~~~
Then a hunt for wine and all Iskandar's favorites. Where was that bakery again? Maybe he should ask a follower...]
