Hi~! This is Nowi, leave a message if you've got something to say to me! If you don't, then why did you call me!?

[nullorvoid]

[...You know, this is the first time he's actually gotten her damn voicemail, and he's completely unsurprised but at the same time, it's a sort of accidental rude as hell that he can approve of.

Anyway.]

Hey. You hiding again?

[invigorating]

[Were you expecting anything else from her though??

Nowi answers shortly, responding with audio as well.]

Maaaaaybe. Depends on why you want to know!

[nullorvoid]

[...Honestly, not really...]

I'm off shift and I'm bored, and that means I've got way too long to think about stupid things.

[...]

Just listen to that. Usually you're the one calling me because you're looking for entertainment, you're rubbing off.

[invigorating]

Oh wow, you're finally loosening up, Ginti! I'm so proud of you!

[Well, she certainly sounds happy about that.]

But sure, we can do something! Do you wanna play? I'm hiding right now and Mana still hasn't found me.

[Probably because her poor Dratini is not here for this shit.]

[nullorvoid]

...Let me guess. You're not giving me hints, are you.

[Not like he needs them by now, but.]

[invigorating]

Of course I'm not, silly! You'll have to look really hard, I've picked a great spot this time!

[...it's one of her usual like, four spots so you'll be fine.]

[nullorvoid]

[You are getting the most put-upon sigh, Nowi.]

Okay, okay, sure. Give me a bit.

[...She's up the damn tree again, isn't she.]

voice;

[nullorvoid]

Hey. You busy with anything?

[invigorating]

Hey Ginti! Nope, I'm not busy right now, what's up?

[nullorvoid]

Good.

I actually decided to take the damn night off for once. Holiday and everything. We don't do Christmas where I'm from but I know enough to get the idea.

[invigorating]

Ahh, that's great! I was hoping you'd be free! I... kinda forgot what day Christmas was, oops. But I definitely want to spent it with you!

We don't have Christmas either, so it'll be my first! And I definitely want to spend it with you, Ginti!

[nullorvoid]

All right, all right, calm down - I'm not going anywhere for the next couple days, so it's not like you're not going to get the chance.

[invigorating]

Well, I definitely appreciate it! Taking time off of work just to spend with me... man, you really are a pretty great guy, huh?

--Oh! Are we supposed to get a tree or something? Gosh, there's so much to this holiday... But! I remembered to get you a present! Don't worry, it's great, I promise!

[nullorvoid]

[OH MY GOD.]

...Uh.

[...eloquent, ginti.]

Look, you don't - ...We are not bringing a tree inside.

[nullorvoid]

[2/14, afternoon]

Hey, Nowi. Do me a favor and get out of whatever tree you're in and come back to the room for a second.

[From the sound of it, at least it isn't urgent; just blunt, as usual.]

[invigorating]

Gosh, Ginti, I wasn't in a tree!

[...she was about to climb one though, so does that really count?]

I'll be right there, alright?

[Nowi doesn't take long in getting back to the room, as promised. She's got Mana around her neck as usual and she looks a little jumpier than usual, but it's nothing too strange.]

Ginti? What's up?

[nullorvoid]

[Ginti glances over at her from where he's sitting at that table they have in there, idly messing around with that game set thing she got him for Christmas; Nowi, why are you jumpy, jumpy is never a good sign- ]

You know, I'd ask what you did but I'm going to get the obvious out of the way first.

["The obvious" being the fact that there's kind of one of those massive Sylveon plushes sitting on her bed; he gestures toward it, the motion idle.]

That thing's yours.

[invigorating]

I didn't do anything--

[Then she looks over and the worried expression vanishes immediately.]

Ohmygosh, Ginti...!

[GIVE HER A MOMENT SHE NEEDS TO LAUNCH HERSELF AT THIS THING AND HUG ON IT FOREVER.]

That's so sweet! Thank you so, soooo much!

[nullorvoid]

It looked like something you'd like. You don't have to make a big thing out of it.

[She's probably going to make a big thing out of it, but eh.]

[invigorating]

You always say that, but you get me really great stuff and you're really nice to me so why wouldn't I make a big thing out of it?

[voice] 02/12, afternoon

[charcoalfeather]

..... Umm... H-hello?

[There's a possibly familiar voice, who sounds extremely uncertain right now.]

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

[invigorating]

Heya, Rakka!

[Nowi's voice responds promptly and she sounds just as cheerful as always.]

Did you make it to Cherrygrove?

[charcoalfeather]

[...Oh! Thank goodness! Rakka promptly sounds as cheerful as Nowi... if a little tired.]

Uh huh! The trip was longer then I thought, but I made it! I just got here yesterday, so I wanted to try and let you know!

[a beat]

I've never used a phone before.

[invigorating]

I hadn't used one before I showed up here either! And now I can text and talk on it like a pro!

[...Maybe not. Her text is still in all caps and sparkly pink, but it looks prettier that way!!]

But I'm super glad you made it! Do you want me to show you around?

[charcoalfeather]

I know! It's so new here! [She'd never seen anything like this place. Even the buildings were of a different style then the one she knew. And well, she'd just learned how texting worked.

so.]

Would you? I'd love to see some more of it. I'm at the Pokemon center right now, so I can wait there!
