[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!]

(( ooc: Guess I'm kind of too late for top-leveling on the current event, but I want a thread with Waver-- soooo inbox is the obvious choice ))

[ A surprise text from Satya comes around the mid-day ]

Did you go to the festivities today on Asakusa?

[ That's it, that's very succinct. ]

some time after the power shitshow

[Waver might not exactly work in the temple of Ebisu as a regular employee, in many meanings of the word... but there is a business relationship which occurs between them. That means it's only proper for the temple to have his contact information on hand, along with an email of his own to use within the temple. Not to mention "Jitsumi" speaks very well of him.]

[So, he'll be getting an email.]

From: Aomi
To: Velvet Waver

I apologize for interrupting you during what I'm sure is important work. I wish to invite you on a brief trip to Kanagawa. Your god and the rest of your temple are invited as well, although it would only be for a day. This is an annual tradition of sort on my end that my god, Ebisu, is also attending with me for this year.

As Jitsumi has spoken highly of you, I thought it only appropriate to extend this invitation to you. I understand if you have too much on your schedule, however, so please do not feel pressured to attend.

Thank you for your time.

Hey, I realize this is a longshot, but you get magic stuff and you're smart.

Do you know what happened to the crystal or dolls in the compound after the fight? It's been on my mind.

Dear mister Waver

You are invited to Gegute's library (Elfnein's temple) on the 29th of April for a party! It is going to be a book party so you can bring your best book or even dress up as your favourite character!
I invited mister Islander too and you can bring other friends! There will be tasty food to eat (including apples) !
See you there!

Romeo and Elfnein

April 26th - [Action] (continued from the Somewhere Else)

[towards_okeanos]

[Iskandar finds Waver looking at the screen. After his remark about Chikusa Iskandar just nods with a smile. ]

So do I but he has Hakkai to take care of him.

[He goes to sit in front of Waver. Even if that means sitting on the floor he doesn't mind. He has a question to ask and he wants to see Waver's reaction to it. But before he's able to do that his hand goes to brush away that one loose strand of hair from his face. That became his habit very fast. Waver has the most gorgeous hair but they can be quite unruly sometimes.

Only after that comes the question.]

It's not only Chikusa that worries you, hm?

May 27th

[unlucky7]

[Whatever business Ginia was going to message Waver with is immediately forgotten when she sees the name change.]

Um

Zhuge Liang?

[If it's the same number and their conversations haven't changed, then she knows it's still Waver. But she has to hear it from him too.]

Voice message [June 15th]

[towards_okeanos]

[The message start with a small chuckle. Yes, Iskandar loves that you have never changed that message. He remembers very well the day when it was recorded. The name in the address book may be Zhuge Liang but the message still bears Waver's name.

The chuckle is followed by a long sigh.]

Waver, love, I know you're probably busy but I need to tell you something. Noctis is gone. I didn't know him but he was from our generation and now his shinki has nowhere to go.

[There's a pause.]

So I proposed I can take her in. I invited her to the Temple, she's coming and ...

[Another sigh.]

I don't know if this would work out, I don't know if she agrees or if she stays or ...

[Not that he has an exceptional record of keeping shinki at his Temple...]

I just don't want any of the new generation shinki to be forced to go begging the old gods to take them.

[He took Ada thinking he would never accept another shinki. He knows he said as much. Still, there are situations he can't just stand and watch. He made this mistake once and that's one too many.]

You don't have to come here, I just wanted for you to know what I'm doing.

cw: NSFW -> continued from Book party, April 29

[hypomeneo]

[A terrible, terrible mess of an already messy room. Waver marks where empty spaces of stone floor are absently; it's be a shame to ruin those papers and whatever's on them. He never looks; avoids them even.

It's just a flicker of attention at best. All of his focus is narrowing on the man who carried him in here and is underneath him now.]

All mine? Whatever I want?

[Waver cards his fingers through Iskandar's thick crimson locks as he savors every kiss and bite and hums thoughtfully.]

Speaking of plans, I'd say someone was looking forward to something like this...

[I think people being bossy of you is a turn on, hm? How many would have dared in your life?

Waver's skin feels like it's on fire underneath the soaked chiton clinging to him like a second skin. Droplets of water trickle down him as he stares down at Iskandar with increasing hunger and he licks his lips, uncaring of how wet the bedspread is getting beneath them. Whatever he wishes? He smiles slowly as he deliberately grinds his hips against Iskandar from where he's straddling his lap and slowly palms Iskandar's chest before pinching a nipple between his fingertips and his lover's own soaked clothes. Waver rolls the nub between his fingers, curious about how the friction of the wet fabric would feel against Iskandar's skin.]

[skiateras]

[There's a man, dressed in a black suit, in his garden when Waver leaves the Temple. The man is sitting under a peach tree, slowly eating a fruit and observing the entrance.]

Welcome, Caster. I was waiting for you.

[Those that don't know god Zhuge Liang very well or only in passing could easily take that stranger for him. If only Waver was a little more tanned. He does look familiar though. What's even more surprising he definitely is a Servant. So how on Earth did he get here without raising alarm?]
