[Vatheon - Voice] Enter Guy with his tail between his legs

[relinquishing]

[It's early afternoon when Guy finally bothers to call back.]

Jade, uh... dammit, where do I start with this...

Just... letting you know that I can help out with that machine, if you still need it.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Is that so? Afraid I've handed it off to someone with a better attitude.

[He hasn't. In fact, he's been running around a fair bit recently, so he hasn't gotten a chance to send a call to Alister. He was going to get to that soon. However, it wasn't outside the usual for Jade to subliminally scold someone for being an idiot. He certainly hadn't appreciated the backtalk from the boy.]

[Vatheon - Voice]

[relinquishing]

[He is almost twenty-one, thank you very much. But... no, no, he can't blame Jade at all for his irritation.]

...Right. I understand.

Regardless, though, I wasn't really in my, uh... my right mind yesterday. Should have held my tongue, but I didn't.

Sorry.

Jade, I...hope you're well.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade seemed confused at the voicemail before returning it.]

More or less. Is there something amiss?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[closedcircuit]

The kidnapper and murderer is...still at work, after all.

[donotcomprehend]

Colonel Jade. I am Gale of the Embryon. Ky Kiske told our tribe that you might know technical information that would help us to feed our demons' hunger without devouring people. Would you be willing to assist?

[Vatheon- Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade seemed a tad confused at the sudden contact and thought about the voicemail briefly. He couldn't help the intrigue at the idea, and learning of the other races had been a priority in the absence of aught else to do. So he'd reply and at least see what it was in more detail.]

It certainly sounds an interesting venture.

[Vatheon - Voice]

Jade...

You've fought in the military where you're from, right?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[You like calling him, don't you?]

Hello to you as well, Ky.

But yes, I'm Commander of the Third Division Malkuthian Imperial Forces.

[Vatheon - Voice]

[relinquishing]

Jade? It's Guy. I think I've got something workable for you. [He can't be sure - it's hard to test a limiter like this without Jade present - but he's tried to work out as many kinks as he possibly can without just putting the glasses on himself. Yes, he listened to Jade's instructions.]

Are you at your apartment right now?

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[There's a bit of movement and then what sounds like a chuckle.]

No~

[Vatheon - Voice]

[chokmahemperor]

Jaaaaaaaade~

[That kind of dull sing-song that only the bored can master.]

Jaaade, where'd you go~? The apartment seems so empty without your ego~

[Vatheon - Voice]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm out for a bit.

[Vatheon - Voice - backdated to the 25th]

[closedcircuit]

Jade. I haven't seen you around recently, but I have a Christmas gift that I'd like to give you. Is there somewhere I can bring it by?

Re: [Vatheon - Voice - backdated to the 25th]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Ky is met with silence for a bit before a confused Jade finally replies.]

A gift..?

Vvatheon

[devwocean]

Jade gets a small box tied with a red ribbon and containing a single heart-shaped chocolate and a note:

Thank you for the help wwith the chocolates. I had one left ovver an I thought you might wwant it. Wwe should spend more time together sometime noww that you're not insane anymore.

Re: Vvatheon

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade had to laugh at that. But he gave a text back to the troll.]

That sounds good to me. Thank you for the chocolate.

[He's enjoying the chocolate now.]

[double_edged]

Colonel Curtiss, if you've a moment? I'd like to discuss a... personal matter.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I have time. What do you need?

[double_edged]

A moment of your time, Colonel.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Of course.
