battlers; in character.

Tahire Aslan is not completely without pity: her phone call does not come at 7 a.m. EST, as she had originally intended, but late in the afternoon. Still, even before anyone picks up, the line is practically buzzing with anger--and there's no small chance that she's hexed it so Mira, whenever her godforsaken daughter picks up, can actually feel the waves of guilt and outrage pulsing all the way from Ankara. Ring ring!

WHO: Killian Duff and Amaya Vega.
WHAT: A phone log, wherein Killian's position at Camulus is still up in the air, and he needs a favor.
WHEN: Saturday, August 20, after this subtle set-up. It's 5pm Dublin for Killian, and noon in Boston for everyone else. Yeah, I checked that shit out.
WHERE: On Maya's side of the phonecall - good old Camulus. On Killian's side, some nondescript hotel in Dublin, Ireland.

"This is going to make me sound like an absolute dick," (and as this is the first thing he says after Maya picks up, it does give that impression), "but I think I need a favor."

WHO: Layth al-Nabulsi and Helga Reinhardt-Schweitzer
WHAT: A phone call.
When: Monday, August 15, at whatever time was least convenient for Helga. Possibly the middle of the night.

"Hey. Helga? Hey." He's talking fast, but short, like a business man juggling calls. "I gotta tell you something. Now."

[Backdated to Sunday afternoon, because I fail with deadlines. Shortly after the end of this narrative.]

Rattled and nervous, Sakura listened impatiently to the dial tone as she waited for Sarah to answer her cell. "Please pick up, please pick up..."

WHO: Fabien Delacroix and Liliana de la Cruz
WHAT: A phone log between a drunk Fabien and a sober Liliana, wherein they make up or have a fight.
WHEN: Sometime between Dante's birthday bash and vandalizing a cherub statue with Cain.

"Lee-" a moment of hesitance, "liana."

"Miss Van Papendrecht?"

WHO: Aiden Park [PSION] and Hyewon Yoo [BETTY BIONIC]
WHAT: A phone call
WHEN: 5 May 2037, aka Children's Day in Korea
WHERE: On their respective missions
STATUS: Complete

( You’ll make it through, all right? )

How Alfred managed to get the private cell phone number to Professor Cole is anyone's guess--but then again, he's Alfred. Ring ring!
