[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. ]

[hypomeneo]

[After all that, Waver might be having a bath in blessed water just to be sure he's completely unblighted as a safety precaution.]

I did. To say they went well would be a misnomer.

[defensivematrix]

Sounds like you've got quite a story to tell.

I don't wish to interfere with whatever business you might have, but are you still around the Senso-ji grounds?

[ She is lost in the parade, there is no lie. She will never admit to it. Just like she will never admit that the sheer amount of people make the whole deal of staying calm for the sake of their god kind of... challenging. ]

[hypomeneo]

Yes. Do you need me to come now?

[These are what tracking spells are for. Now, did she give him anything earlier he can use as a focus?]

[defensivematrix]

I'd appreciate that.

[ It is not easy to admit that, but- she needs a contat with someone she's actually familiar with. And maybe, hopefully, she could even be somehow of help with whatever happened. ]

Should I send you coordinates or can you locate me in your own way?

[ ooc: if she's aware of Waver's tracking spell/methods, she'd surely give him something of hers (like an earring) out of pure practicality. ]

[hypomeneo]

[ooc: By this point the temple should know about the tracking spell. He's used it a lot, for many things at this point.]

Send me the coordinates, please. I'll run a tracking spell, but those will help me get there faster.

[As he fishes around in a pocket in the inside of his coat.]

It shouldn't take me too long if the crowd has regained any mercy from earlier.

[ Satya sends him two messages. First is just literal coordinates, but the second one is a screenshot of map-close up with her location marked. She's at the intersection of one of the side streets and the Nakamise street that leads to the Sensoji Temple. And can be called crowded on any other day. Today it's worse, it's overflowing with people. ]

(( And so the starter is up, thank you for your patience orz. ))
