misfire; un: ardbert

[floodbringer]

emetselch i swear on every god if you do not stop messaging me in the middle of the night i will stop cooking breakfast for a month

[ Quite the threat... ]

[philoxenia]

[ She's up already, so it's not like it wakes her up but--

For a moment, she's absolutely baffled, but she's quick to send off a reply. ]

I think you've texted the wrong person.

[floodbringer]

[ He's so irritated it almost takes him a minute to realize.... oh no, did he really message the wrong person...? ]

oh

i am
i apologize
i am so sorry

i intended to message my roommate he is
very difficult

[philoxenia]

[ Ah, technology. ]

It's alright; I'm not upset at all.
It must be rough, especially so late at night.

[ Says the one who barely ever sleeps.... ]

[floodbringer]

i just hope i didn't wake you

do you know how to turn the sound off of this device

my roommate sleeps very rarely and so he's up at all hours, doing inane business like this

[ it's hard living with an ascian.... ]

[philoxenia]

[ Oh. Oh, this poor person. ]

No, not at all. I was up already.

As for the volume, there should be a setting on the screen, if you drag down from the top... Um, here.

[ she sends, like, a screencap? Of the setting. ]

That should work.

[floodbringer]

[ Ardbert has never received a picture before... this is eye-opening. ]

oh! i was looking for a button

it's no wonder i couldn't find it

[ Damn you, Emet-Selch! ]

thank you
you've been a great help
what is your name?

my name is ardbert
i'm sorry that we're meeting through such strange circumstances

[philoxenia]

[ The wonders of technology, truly. She's glad she was able to help, though. ]

It's no problem at all. I know technology can be incredibly different between worlds...

[ Helping people with technology... this is becoming a pattern. First Dorothea, then Caesar, and now Ardbert. ]

I'm Mira. There's no need to apologize--honestly, I'm sure there are worse ways to meet.
Usually I suggest a cup of tea to help with sleep, but... that doesn't exactly help with roommates.

[floodbringer]

it's a far cry from my own world, certainly

i'm not quite used to it all yet
though i've managed to at least make some sense of this keyboard, so i'd say i'm making progress

nice to meet you, anyroad
a cup of tea wouldn't be remiss
though i doubt i'll be getting any sleep myself for the moment

[ do not live with your mortal enemy. this seems like obvious advice, and yet.... ]

[philoxenia]

It's a step in the right direction, at least.

It's nice to meet you as well, Ardbert.

[ The reply takes a bit of time to reach him, because she's trying to like... figure out what to do. Damn you, hangups. ]

If you'd like a bit of company and some tea, I've been told I can make an excellent cup.

[floodbringer]

[ he doesn't know not to meet strangers on the internet ]

i may take you up on that
you'd join me even at this hour?

[philoxenia]

[ i can't believe this nice tiny 5'0 girl is going to just murder ardbert ]

I don't think I'm going to be sleeping any time soon, either, so...
If you don't mind, yes. Maybe we could meet at Emerald Park?

[floodbringer]

[ he won't even bring his axe, he's definitely gonna get murdered ]

alright.
it's a better notion than staying here, at any rate.
i'll meet you there.

[ like what if his roommates start fucking again? he'd rather avoid that, thanks. ]

----> action

[philoxenia]

[ yeah geez ardbert getting murdered in a park is definitely better than having to listen to that ]

It shouldn't take long to arrive. I'll be wearing a blue sweater, so you know who to look for.

[ And it doesn't take too long for her to arrive! She really went all out--she's got a thermos of tea, cups, and even some cookies. Look, she made so many. Really, he'll help her if he's the kinda guy to eat sweets. ]

[floodbringer]

[ they're like, deeply sad and they use magic, it's A Lot. ]

right, then
i'll bring a red jacket
should stand out a bit

[ He does indeed make it to the park, in a dark red jacket no less. He has the look of a guy who was woken up very rudely in the night, with his hair in disarray but otherwise... he did his best. That said, he's kind of on the strong side, but the puppy dog look is so strong, you'd be hard-pressed to think this guy is dangerous. ]

Mira, aye?

[philoxenia]

[ Disarming though he might be, she's still cautious. You know, despite inviting a stranger to meet her out in the dead of night. It's fine. What is she supposed to do, make good decisions? She's not a WIS character. ]

Yes, that's me. Ardbert, right? I brought tea, as well as some cookies, if you're hungry.

[floodbringer]

[ Ardbert nods, perking up quickly at the mention of cookies and tea. ]

I'd love some. Thank you.

[ He smiles. ]

Sorry again for the strange message. I'm still getting used to these phone devices.

[philoxenia]

[ Aw, she's glad. Her slightly hesitant (and nervous) smile shifts to something a little more relaxed. ]

No, it's alright. I understand it can be a lot, especially if it's brand new, and I'm glad to help. [ She casts a glance around. ] Should we find somewhere to sit, while the tea is still warm?

misfire {text} un: deadlock.ashe

[hipshoots]

[ This was meant to go to Constantin, but she selected the wrong username starting with D. Whoops. ]

What can I say? I got a thing for guys whose heads could fall off at any moment.

un: delacroix

[philoxenia]

[ Why does this keep happening? Oh no. ]

I think you have the wrong person.

[hipshoots]

[ Well, this is awkward. Especially since Ashe always tries to make a good first impression. ]

I see now that I do. Sorry. Out of context that sounds really weird. I was just joking around with somebody.

[philoxenia]

It's alright. It's not the first time, and I'm sure it won't be the last...

[ Though now she's assuming that this person is completely unfamiliar with technology, whoops. ]

With so many people here, I think it's bound to happen.

[hipshoots]

[ Whoops, indeed. Her finger just slipped!!! ]

Guess so. Anyway, I'm Ashe.

[philoxenia]

I'm Mira. It's nice to meet you, Ashe, all the same.

You arrived with everyone else, right? How have you been settling in?

[hipshoots]

Sure did. And well enough, I suppose. Managed to get a place to myself. From what I've been hearing, not everybody was so lucky.
