[Dammit, and right when she woke up with the hangover.]

Hello? Who is this?

Re: [phonecall]

[liberal_arts]

Moshi moshi! Kaneda-desu! Good morning, stranger, how are you today?

I love how inebriated Kath gives me the excuse to be a tiny bit ooc.

[totallynotanoni]

[ ...Dammit, did she drunk dial someone last night? She did not wanna deal with this kind of situation again.

Ok, calm down Kath. Just say sorry, and tell them they have the wrong number.]

I-I'm sorry, but who is this?

[ Dammit Kath, you had one job!]

[liberal_arts]

Kasen Kaneda, dear. A 'stranger', as defined by the terms of these activity sheets the network has provided.

[totallynotanoni]

[ Ok, really? She had heard about these things at one point, but this was ridiculous....and now the headache was really starting to kick in. Wait to go Kath, wait to go.]

You called me at...[ Please wait one sec as she goes and pours some water. Why is she still on the phone again?]...so you could check off a marker on your bingo sheet?

[liberal_arts]

Well I was hoping I could have an interesting conversation with someone I've never met, too.

misfire text

[hadeir]

and the horse's ass that you came from

[totallynotanoni]

Sorry but I'm pretty sure you just texted the wrong number here.
[On the other hand, she's sort of noticing a trend in the misfires lately. Plus the fact that she said "horse" instead of "chocobo" is kind of a hint.]

misfire text; sometime this month when it's convenient!

[complementing]

yay me!

[totallynotanoni]

[....Okay then. At least it isn't as profane as the last one.

The number looks...vaguely familiar. Like she's seen it somewhere before, but never got to putting it in her contacts. She seriously needs to get better about that. Probably someone in her email. That and its kind of likely right now this is a Retrospect person.]

I'm sorry, I think your text split off partway through. Who is this?
But let me just say good for you in whatever context your talking about here.

[hadeir]

I did?

[totallynotanoni]

I'm afraid you did.
It seems a lot of texts lately are being sent to the wrong recipient.

[complementing]

...oh!

hello Katherine

this is Minako

[totallynotanoni]

[Ok that explains why it looked so familiar.]

Oh hi Minako.
I was wondering why this number looked familiar.
How are you doing?

[Because last time she saw you you were very depressed.]

Also mind if I ask what "yay me" was about?

[complementing]

I'm doing better, thank you

I'm guessing you already know that text was supposed to go to someone else, but it was because I'd managed to add a mark to my takedown tally count

I'm learning kickboxing and my trainer is a professional bodyguard so he's very hard to outmaneuver

[totallynotanoni]

I'm glad to hear your feeling better.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is one of those Residual Affects we were warned about. Its lead to some pretty awkward situations so far.

Thats ironic with the kickboxing, though; I'm actually going to be learning karate at one of the dojos in town. Its probably going to be a rather interesting experience.

[For obvious reasons.]

[hadeir]

I've been texting all day!

[ This is... very sobering. ]

[totallynotanoni]

[She's having flashbacks to high school.]

I think the text misfires only happen one or twice per text line.
How many texts have you sent?

[complementing]

yeah I'm getting the full brunt of awkward situations this month ugh

oh, that sounds great! Good luck with your lessons, but buy some bath bombs to prepare for a nice soak after any session you go to

martial arts teachers don't go easy on anyone

[totallynotanoni]

I used to do yoga before Retrospect, so I'm used to those kind of used to the aftermaths, though I'm pretty sure this is going to be a different sort of experience.

[What's she's not admitting is that she's gotten pretty messed up before in a fight with another person.]

I'll make sure to remember that about the bath bombs.
Any other advice?

[complementing]

practice

practice until your body remembers the movements without your brain needing to remind it

then it becomes instinct, and that can make or break a real fight

since I'm assuming that's what you want to take up karate for

[totallynotanoni]

[...She's not gonna ask you how long that took you, Minako. Its probably gonna scare her a little.

But she wants to do this.]

It is.
If something like last month happens again, I want to be ready.

I'll make sure to remember that.

[hadeir]

I... don't feel like counting right now.

[totallynotanoni]

Thats probably for the best, honestly.
I'm guessing those words were meant for a very unique individual.
