	[she picks up after a couple of rings] Hello? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	[Warmly.] Hello, Melody. Are you enjoying your day? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:14 pm UTC (link)
	The weather's beautiful. Hard not to enjoy it. [Her smile is audible.] Is there something I can do for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	That it is. Have you been enjoying your time here? And yes, but I'll get to that in a moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	[there's a short pause before she answers:] If I'm being honest... Not really. I don't really feel like I fit in very well. And everything keeps on coming back to my father. Just an open wound. [A sigh.] Sorry. I don't mean to complain. I should feel lucky that things are as good as they are, considering. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	[A quiet, thoughtful sound.] Here, at the facility? Or here, in Repose? Moving out from the shadow of our family is rarely an easy thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	Repose. The facility is fine. I've nothing to complain about here. So I'm finding out. I wish he was still here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:30 pm UTC (link)
	I'm glad to hear that. If you will take some advice from an old woman? Would it help you fit in, if he was? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. I'm always in need of advice, I've found. I'm not sure. Probably not, honestly. Apparently there was a memory that some people saw with him. Recent. [...] I don't know. He's dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	You have two options. Either you can ignore the things they say and hold yourself above their petty opinions, or do what you can to distance yourself from the things he did to prove yourself different from him. What was the memory? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	Neither of those are very easy, but I get what you mean. [...] Some sort of... Study with him. And me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 06:49 pm UTC (link)
	Neither is easy, but you must do what brings you satisfaction. [A curious sound.] A study? Would you not remember if you had done such a thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Melody is quiet for a while. You can almost hear the lip chewing.] I remember it. I know what they're talking about (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 07:07 pm UTC (link)
	Mmm. [A moment of contemplation. Then, playing along:] Those we love are never far from our thoughts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	No, no they aren't. [It's followed with a long sigh, quiet and contemplative.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Whatever he did, he is still your father. Some will never understand that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Or try to understand it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	Or care enough to try. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 07:24 pm UTC (link)
	At least some people get it. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	You are most welcome, qalil farih. My door is always open to you, you need not wait until these things weigh so heavy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 07:33 pm UTC (link)
	[A pause.] What does that mean? Those words. I'm not familiar... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	I would be surprised if you were. Shall we make a game of it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 07:52 pm UTC (link)
	Uh, sure. Why not. Are you going to explain the rules? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila head 2017-07-30 08:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Warm and pleased.] Guess what they mean. If you can guess accurately before the facility moves, you may have your pick of quarters, with a few exceptions. Mainly that you do not pick mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Melody/Naila erased 2017-07-30 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	Is it unfair to search online for it? [A laugh.] I want a good room. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
