[The sound of static hits for a moment, then fumbling can be heard. Then Tyki's voice can be heard muffled and irritated, but the words can still be made out, just barely.]

Stupid god-forsaken piece of junk...

[Then the noise clears, and Tyki clears his throat.]

Leave a message, will you? I'll get back to you at my earliest possible convenience.

text; very early morning

[redwinekindofgirl]

You awake?

[such_a_teez]

of course. Good morning, Julie. [He wasn't awake. But that's alright. She's worth waking up for.]

[redwinekindofgirl]

I guess it is.
I haven't slept yet.
Hope you don't mind me bothering you so late. Or early. Whatever.

[such_a_teez]

You're welcome to contact me whenever you please. I don't mind at all.

[redwinekindofgirl]

That's really sweet. I was just thinking about you but I figured you'd reply later or something.

[such_a_teez]

I was up anyway. It made my early wake up worth it.

Why haven't you slept? If you don't mind me being nosy, that is.

[redwinekindofgirl]

I don't sleep well here.

I have nightmares. Being alone makes it worse. I think I'm getting used to it though.

Why are you up so early?

[oldtonew]

Tyki, hello. Ah - this is Kettara.

[ Guess who is still very new to this technology. ]

I. I would ask your advice, if I could.

[ Voice ]

[such_a_teez]

[Tyki is still very new to this too.] Hello, Kettara. Of course, what do you need?

[ Voice ]

[oldtonew]

Have you ever mentored another?

[ Voice ]

[such_a_teez]

I've done some mentoring, why?

[ Voice ]

[oldtonew]

I have made a decision, to teach shamanism to one of the humans here.

[ There's a long pause. ]

I have never taught anyone before.

[ Voice ]

[such_a_teez]

Is that so? I can't imagine you doing a bad job at it.

[unphase]

[her voice comes brightly over the line]

Hi, Tyki! Haven't seen you in a while, so I was wondering how you're doing! Get back to me whenever you feel like it.

[Audio]

[such_a_teez]

Tinya! Hello, lass. It's been too long. I'm fine, fantastic. How have you been holding up?

[Audio]

[unphase]

Way too long. And I'm okay. That thing where people saw what was happening back home kind of threw me a little [a lot], but other than that, things are good.

Mind if I come over to visit your shop? I haven't really had the chance to look around it yet.

[Audio]

[such_a_teez]

I'm hardly surprised. That sort of nonsense could throw off a lot of people. Glad to hear things are going well for you otherwise.

Please, come visit. I needed an opinion anyway.

[Audio]

[unphase]

Yeah, as well as they can be? I mean, is anyone's life here really good?

I'll be right over and I'll be sure to bring my opinions.

[Audio]

[such_a_teez]

I don't know, I think we manage well enough. But I'd rather enjoy the comforts of home verses the lack of them here.

The door is unlocked. I'll see you soon.

Hey, do me a favor?

If the Null attack us, don't get killed.

[Text] Unless noted otherwise!

[such_a_teez]

That goes for you too. I'm rather fond of you, I'd hate for death to come between us, even temporarily.

[redwinekindofgirl]

If it makes you feel any better, I don't have any plans to get myself into trouble. I want to fuck those Null fuckers up, but there's people way better for that than me. I'll just run out of bullets.

[such_a_teez]

It helps. But I'm still displeased at this mess. We'll just have to be careful, and see how this all plays out.

[redwinekindofgirl]

You're not going to volunteer?

[such_a_teez]

I'll go where I'm needed.
