Rivener didn't know what the hell he was doing. It was like his body was acting completely without his consent, floating to the phone in the upstairs hallway and picking up the receiver. Sure, he'd memorized Alex-and-Zul's phone number from the Lab list, but it's not like he'd ever intended to use it! Riv had just wanted to know! But now here he was, his heartbeat thumping against his chest in protest to his fingers' movement as they punched in the numbers. The series of dialed numbers was strangely melodic, and Riv found himself committing THAT to memory too, now. He even hummed the strange tune to himself without realizing, frowning in confusion as the ringing began.
What the hell was he going to say?
After three or four rings (Riv didn't pay attention, fussing as he was with the telephone's curly cord), there was a slight scritchy sound of the phone being picked up and Riv inhaled sharply to speak but he was cut off by a recorded voice. Alex's answering machine! They weren't home! Oh thank god, I can just hang up! The thought was so relieving Riv let out a deep sigh as the message instructed him to leave his name and number and at the beep.
Riv planned on hanging up. So why did he start talking when the beep sounded?!ALEX'S ANSWERING MACHINE Ah, hi. It's Rivener. I, ah... I called to talk to Zul, b-buh... but you're not home. Obviously. Hah. S-so, I'll call some other time, maybe. It's nothing important or anything, I just wanted to, ah... t-to say hi, I guess. So, Hi Zul. ...Bye!

x x x x x █║ SOLO: Whispers of the Heart
x x x x x █║ INVOLVED: Alex, Zul
x x x x x █║ SYNOPS: Zul reacts to Rivener's message.
The two gazed at the machine in various states of silence: Alex wore a shocked expression, touched with disbelief and a small dose of grim understanding; Zul looked both ridiculously pleased and humbled at the same time. From the moment he heard Rivener's voice coming out of the machine, he had been attached to the landline with an intense stare, fingers stroking over the speaker that the Sigel's voice emitted from, trying to reach him. Bone wings clicked against the gold rings piercing them, murmuring softly to his Guardian. "Again."
Alex took a deep breath through her nose and pressed play.ALEX'S ANSWERING MACHINE Ah, hi. It's Rivener. I, ah... I called to talk to Zul, b-buh... but you're not home. Obviously. Hah. S-so, I'll call some other time, maybe. It's nothing important or anything, I just wanted to, ah... t-to say hi, I guess. So, Hi Zul. ...Bye!
Zul floated towards the living room, the wireless connection afford him a little privacy. The phone rung in a jingling sound against his ear, and he listened, willing for Rivener's voice to break the odd and unpleasant sound. It stopped; but it was Aphismet's voice that came on the line, which, as Alex had told him, meant he would have to 'leave a message after the beep.' The beep sounded, and silence stretched before the Frei decided he should say something into that whiring silence.
"Rivener," he said the name without his usual purr, but instead with a gentler tone. "This is Zul." His blue eyes flitted around the living room, lighting upon his game that they could play; he turned to look out to the patio, the black stretch of sky over the starlit ocean yawning beneath reminding him of their words to visit his home of 'water and sand.' Eventually he found himself looking at his own hand, finding words to be much more difficult to express what he wanted to say.
He looked again to Alex, who was giving him such a look that he thought she might have been hurt, murmuring softly to him, "You have to say more, Zul..."
The Raevan nodded, wings flaring with a tinkle of rings again, thinking. "There's a bright star out tonight," he spoke clearly, "has a red tint. Bear said it was a planet." He paused. "I hope you can see it. I'll be looking at it too." He supposed, now that he had this machine recording every word he said, that he should say the words that meant the most. Not waste the moment. He wasn't a very chatty creature by nature, and after a few more seconds of choosing the right words, he said them as plainly and heartfelt as he knew how.
"I miss you."
He lowered the phone from his ear, looking at the object with a mixture of loss and disdain. Zul had no concept how this contraption could possibly reach Rivener, knew nothing of it other than it sounded funny and made noise. A sigh escaped him as he floated over to Alex, handing it to her and immediately moving towards the patio. He hoped it wouldn't take long for the message to get to the Sigel.
The woman looked at the phone in silence before clicking the button to turn it off. Message sent. Now if only she understood how to deal with the content of that message, all that lay beneath, she might have felt slightly less helpless. She might have had something to say, other than quietly looking over the Raevan that seemed to glow in the darkness with his blue lines and brilliant central horn, able to tell his head was tilted back. Eventually, she put the phone back in its cradle and joined him, the two quietly gazing at the stars.

x x x x x █║ MSN SHORT: A Friend in Need
x x x x x █║ INVOLVED: Alex, Ethan
x x x x x █║ SYNOPS: Ethan calls for advice on Vyn's health.
BRIING BRIING
Alex: Mnm? *comes out of her sleep rather quickly, sitting up with an alert expression and picking up the phone, flipping it open, wondering who is calling at this hour* This is Alex.
Ethan: /almost before she's got her words out. Alex? Hello, it's Ethan... I'm afraid I need some help.
Alex: *there's a scuffle as the woman gets out of bed* Ethan? What's wrong? Do I need to come over?
Ethan: /a long pause, followed by a deep intake of breath. It's Vyn.. She hasn't been coping well with the death of - Gage? Her old companion? And tonight things got rather out of hand... /again there's a long pause as if the businessman is assessing the situation in hand. I don't think you need to come now, but your advice is sorely needed.
Alex: *the shuffling stops, with only sound being the background chorus of crickets while she waits and listens to the man speak* Out of hand? *another silence follows before she exhales softly* Okay. I'll do my best to help, Ethan. What happened?
Ethan: She hasn't been eating properly since the news of his death reached us - whilst we were in the company of the Delaran's, it was most unfortunate timing... However I simply assumed that after a little time she would straighten out again. /sighs deeply, as though he is taking it as a rather personal failure. However apparently the stress triggered some sort of responce with her powers...
Alex: That's right...they were friends. I saw that the first time I met both of them. *another soft sigh escapes her* Don't worry, Ethan. We can't predict everything they're going to do, just try to deal with it as it comes. *a light clacking sound is heard, with the soft whisper of 'shadow, shadow,' heard between it* Okay, it might be good to immerse her in as much shadow as possible right now. Her rune should absorb the essence, survival instincts and all. Is she awake? Or rather...um, is she still seeming like herself right now?
Ethan: /the sound of movement can be heard as the man stands up and moves around. A dark room would be suffice? Correct? /a sound similiar to the one at Alex's end is heard as he switches off the room's light. She's not awake now, she's sleeping on the couch in the living room with Thorn. Though she was asleep, or I assume she was sleeping, when the incident happened. I thought moving her out of her room would be best... Something in her bedroom could've been the trigger. I can keep an eye on her here... Unless you'd advise me to keep my distance?
Alex: Mm, darkness and shadow aren't the same. If she's on the couch...if the light's on, don't worry about it. We need something to cast shadows. Even if it's just a blanket casting them on the couch. No, no, Ethan, you're fine! *she laughs softly* It's so nice to hear you're concerned...that sounds bad, I...mean I'm glad you have her. *another pause* But she needs shadow, not darkness. As long as there's moonlight or even a nightlight to cast some sort of shadow around her, it'll help. Don't you fret, okay? Just be there for her, and these things will help. I promise. You're doing fine.
Ethan: Yes, yes, of course.. Shadows not darkness. /sounds uncharacteristically flustered by the error, there's another click as the light is turned back on and he searches for shadows cast by the artificial lights. There's a few slithers of shadows from the windows? Not very big though. Perhaps... two inches wide at the most. I don't think I own a nightlight. /mutters something about not having thought he'd be needing one.
Alex: *laughs gently at his muttering* It's okay! Is there a light in the hall or kitchen? Oh, that might be good - if there's a light in a room behind the couch. That'll cast the shadow right on her. It wont be as good as a feeding but it will help, and hopefully...whatever happened with her powers, you mentioned...will settle. If needed, you can bring her to Kyou's tomorrow and we can stress the importance of feeding, if you think it necessary. We're here to help /you/ in this, okay?
Ethan: Marvellous idea! /laughs nervously and can be heard hurrying to follow her suggestion.... There's a long pause then a scuffle as he picks up the phone again. Yes, yes it casts plenty of shadow onto her. /sounds very relieved. Thank you Alex, I think I will... I don't want to see her like that again...
Alex: *listens, a soft sound of chuckling following his words* You're a good man, Ethan. Now, is there anything I can do for /you/? It's just as important that you're okay and relaxed too. They respond to us just as much as their powers respond to their food. Are you okay? *there's a soft blip and a new clacking start, one that sounds like a keyboard*
Ethan: I, uh, I don't know.. /there's a long pause and several sighs. I feel rotten, to be quite honest. Like I've let myself down. You down. Vyn down... Seeing her like that, it really hit hard. /there's the soft thump as if he's settling into a chair. I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing...
Alex: Ethan. *the name is said softly, warmly* None of us can begin to understand their emotions, how they react to things. You were there for her. She's whole and safe, is she not? You've given her that security. You're the one on the phone at this hour. Don't sell yourself short when you're doing everything in your power - that's a lot more than you're giving yourself credit for. *a pause follows again, the keys having fallen silent* She'll learn through you. Showing that you care - I think it'll do a lot more for her than you think. You are being an ideal guardian Ethan, you've not failed any of us.
Ethan: /listens intently and quietly. Thank you Alex... I suppose you're right, the fact neither of us were hurt and that she's recovering is good enough to forgive my fault in the matter. /sounds more at ease than before, there's even a sense of optimism in his voice as he goes on to speak. I'm sorry to have bothered you at such a late hour, but your pearls of wisdom have been wonderful.. I won't keep you much longer.. We can talk more tomorrow - well, /he pauses to presumably look at a clock. -later today. At the LAB...
Alex: *her smile is audible in her voice* I'm happy to help you at all, Ethan. She's...she'll be okay. I can't imagine what she's going through, but I'm very glad she has you to watch out for her. And please - don't apologize, that's what I gave you my number for. I'm just glad you use it! *another soft chuckle sounds* Definitely. Just give me a call when you're ready - I'll be working there anyway.
Ethan: I cannot thank you enough... Until we speak again.. Good bye.. /there's a slight hesistant pause then the clack of the phone resting on the holder and the line goes dead.

x x x x x █║ MSN SHORT: Call Me, Call Me
x x x x x █║ INVOLVED: Alex, Aphi
x x x x x █║ SYNOPS: Aphi finally asks Alex on a date!
*BBRRRIIING BBRRRING!!*
Alex: *the other end picks up, a bit of scuffling heard; Zul's voice is in the background, something about a tinkle-thing, and Alex replying with exhasperation to just hand it over; after a moment, her voice is more clear* This is Alex.
Aphi: *blinks at the first part, floundering a bit once the phone is REALLY picked up* Ah, uhm.... Um, A-Alex? It's Aphismet. Delaran. It's Aphi...
Alex: *a clattering of pots is heard followed by a quick, short explictive* Aphi! Hey, I know who you are, silly. *laughs pleasantly, her tone surprised but pleased* To what do I owe this pleasant surprise?
Aphi: *chuckles at the other end, sounding rather at a loss* Ah, there's nothing in p-par... particular... Uhm, w-we... Remember we talked about going somewhere? Well I uh, I thought we could do that this weekend? If you're not busy? Although if you're busy that's okay, we can wait...
Alex: No! Not busy! *the grin in her voice is clear* I'd love to, really! I was just thinking it'd been too long since we ran into each other. *she pauses for a moment, not really knowing the right questions to ask* Um, what was the name? 'm sorry, must have forgotten in my excitement over you being a chef. *embarrssed giggling follows her words*
Aphi: Ah, The Crystal Carafe. I kind of, uhm... I was told there was a spot on Saturday at 7pm, would that be okay? We can meet in the restaurant lobby, so you'd just have to go into the Durem Hotel and take the elevator to the top and I'll be waiting there. Is that o-okay? *feels a little more confident as he hears the enthusiasm in her voice.*
Alex: *sucks in a small breath, paper flipping as she checks her calender; when she speaks, her tone is joyous* Saturday at 7pm, Crystal Carafe! Sure thing Aphi, it's a date. *makes a soft, strangled sound of embarrassment before she laughs at herself*
Aphi: *laughs a little nervously at the mention of "date" even though he was the first one to say it before.* Sure, Alex! Dress nice, the restaurant is five-star and whatnot... I'll have to wear a tie, hahah. Uhm, w-well, I gotta go. See you on Saturday, in the restaurant lobby!
Alex: *rather than alert him to her own half-scrambled attempts at impressing him, she only laughed again, a happy sound* Looking forward to that then. *teases him lightly* See you Saturday, Aphismet.
Aphi: Yes! B-byebye! *hangs up*
