PHONE CALL: Souji
[As Souji's doing whatever a Souji does, he'll hear the phone ringing all of a sudden. He may want to pick up...?
OOC: The two of you have 10 comments before the line automatically disconnects, commencing from when Souji picks up the phone (i.e. 11 total, the first tag of Souji going HEWWO? into the phone will not count towards your 10).]

No okay, after looking around and seeing that no one else is here, seemingly, he will... somewhat hesitantly... pick up the phone. INTERNAL SWEATY.]
—Hello? [(uwu voice)] Staff-san...?
no subject
HELLO????? ]
What? Who is this? I do not recognize this voice.
[ oh wait ]
This is Tsurumaru Kuninaga. I am not rude.
no subject
Anyway!! Tsurumaru can't see, but he can probably hear that it sounds like the mysterious person on the other end is most likely wearing a very sunny expression. He also sounds pretty excited when he speaks?! LISTEN. He's a lonely lad... He loves company... His chatty gene engages right away.]
Oh—! Tsurumaru-san!? It's Tsurumaru-san! Hello! This is Souji - Okita Souji! And Saizo says hello, too! [There's a muffled pig-like sound in the distance????? ME IMAGINING THE HILARITY OF THIS FROM TSURUMARU'S POINT OF VIEW.]
Are you well? It really seems like you've been going through a lot over there; this hotel doesn't give anyone even a moment to rest, does it... Oh - do you know where you're calling? This is where the dead are!
[DON'T SOUND SO CHEERFUL.]
no subject
Oh! It's good to meet you, Okita Souji! It's great to hear from you, but also, why am I hearing from you?! [ help. heeeeelp. ] Are you the person who showed up early?!
[ ??????¿¿¿ ]
Where are you all?
no subject
It's very good to meet you, too! Even better, considering I normally only meet people when they're dead! You're hearing from me because I'm dead and also happened to be the person nearby when the phone started ringing, I suppose...! And-- I have no idea. Perhaps? I don't remember much, I'm afraid... Did someone say something about a person arriving early?
[LIFE SURELY CONTINUES TO BE VERY WEIRD FOR SWEET TSURUMARU IN THIS MOMENT. It's fine. There's the sound of fabric rustling for a moment, and then:]
We're in a mansion - a mansion with a garage and a cemetery of our own, where everyone wakes up. It's apparently still part of the grounds, in a sense? To the point that the staff still treat us as guests, anyway. Vi-san - ah, that's Virgo-san - watches over this place.
no subject
[ IS CHILDE THERE!!!!! tsuru doesn't know childe he is not the one asking this ]
What do you all do over there? Are you getting any kind of information? Is everyone alright? Tell them I say hi!
[ he is so polite regardless of what the mods think ]
We have been worried that we haven't heard from you all! Not you, I guess, because I just found out you're there but that doesn't make you any less important!
no subject
[Missing 36... CHILDE ISN'T THERE, TRAGICALLY... Or not tragically... imagine if he was and pixi and i were both just poised to kill everyone in one fell swoop. Childe busts the door in and Mahito takes off his Souji mask.
He is so very polite though?! Souji loves him. Maybe only a little because he's extremely biased toward the swords...]
Oh - you're so sweet, Tsurumaru-san! Thank you! [Said with a light laugh and a twinkle of gremlin teasing in his tone before he continues.]
Everyone is alright and settling in as well as can be expected. I'll pass on your hellos and anything else you'd like to say! We've been trying to communicate for some time, actually... Vi-san was supposed to deliver letters for us, but I suppose that isn't happening. [VIRGO.] We're going to try sending flowers soon, too, so please keep watch! We were just looking for someone who might know hanakotoba, you know? Ah - we've mostly just been doing tasks for Vi-san, though... Little things that fix up this place bit by bit, like restoring this phone. --Alphinaud-san would also like you to stop looting bodies because we very much need those tickets over here, as we can't exchange tasks for healing and it seems like we will be in need of healing at least somewhat regularly.
no subject
but there's a pause. whoops. tsuru decides to no longer hold a grudge against clementine for not giving him his ticket back. she needed it more, it seems. ]
Oh. Uh. I will pass the message along... have you been getting tickets in other ways? Please say yes.
[ HELP ]
Do you have any other requests for our side? Do you need us doing anything in particular? I can try to pass the message along! There is not much to report from this side.
no subject
Sweet Tsurumaru though god bless. He wishes so badly to be able to pester this sword in person. :amen: :motherpeter:]
We don't, unfortunately. [THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT. THEIR TICKETS. THEIR LOOTED CORPSES. HELP. SWEET, SWEET ALPHINAUD. Souji sounds vaguely amused in a wry sort of way.] So please try to leave things that belong to the dead with them.
[There's also a little pause on his end after that question, though. When he speaks again, his voice is a less Exuberant And Excited and more somber, as befitting of what he says.]
--We haven't been able to find much information or anything of use here either, though we'll do whatever we can to pass anything on quickly. The one thing we do have is a record of a conversation... We've had to share it very carefully and keep it away from the staff, and we can't entirely confirm where it came from. But it's possible that there is no way for the dead to return, this time. Not in a way that will let us fulfill the terms of our contracts.
no subject
well, if this is souji. there isn't really much point in trying to pretend that everything will definitely be okay, but. but. ]
We will do what we can. We have eight weeks here, so it is at least time to see what else we can find. [ ... ] I do not think anyone here wishes to abandon anyone. Not you on that side, or the hostages, or the staff.
I will see if I can speak to you again, Okita Souji. Or whoever else may answer the phone. I'll try to see if I can get information to you all sooner. Maybe we can figure out a way of sending more things to you all?
[ if they were in person, tsuru would grab onto souji right now. instead, it's just a spiritual grab. ]
Ah... I feel like I should be asking something very obvious though...
no subject
Softly, with some fondness:] Yes... It's been very difficult for some of those here, but the determination is still quite strong. We're able to speak with the staff as well, in the ways that we can... [He's fond of everyone but that's not surprising since his heart is big and his head is stupid.] If possible, I would like to see everyone returned safely, and for them to leave alive.
[But the smile is in his tone again soon after that. They are mutually spiritually grabbing each other in this moment.]
Thank you, Tsurumaru-san! Ah - and just Souji is fine. [FULL NAME IS TOO FORMAL HE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WITH THE SWORDS.] We'll be sure to keep listening for the phone and looking for ways to send what we can back!
[There's a little beat though, and then:] Oh—! That's right! [THE VERY OBVIOUS THING THAT TSURUMARU WANTS TO ASK, WHICH IS SURELY THE SAME THING HE JUST REMEMBERED.] There might be something out there that's going to - ah, what was the word? Vore—
[At which point
the phone cuts out, because he doesn't know they're on a limit here BUT NOW HE DOES. Anyway bye sweet Tsuru it's been real.]
