Second Cord; Audio, Locked from Hostiles

[sakedrinking]

Another year... I should just wait and see what happens...

What are you muttering about, Phasco? ... and why is my D-Comm on?

Well she's gotten more observant at least... [Phasco clears his throat] Don't you know what today is?

... oh! April 1st already? A year passes quickly, doesn't it?

Uhuh...

[aaaawkward silence]

... what? What is it? ... why are you staring at me like that?

Wait for it...

[another fairly long silence]

I'm forgetting something again, aren't I?

[This time there's no answer from Phasco. He's just staring at his partner.]

... April 1st. April 1st. Eto... eto eto...

... AH! WATANUKI-KUN! TETO-CHAN! THEIR BIRTHDAYS!

Right on time. This is becoming a bad habit for you, Haku.

Sh-shut up! I have to think of something! I-I'll be back later!

[There's a bit of scrambling, Haku grabbing her D-Comm as she runs out the door. Phasco can be heard sighing and speaking one last time before she gets out the door.]

It's just not an April 1st without Haku flipping her shit...

Fiction makes it seem so much easier and fast. Before Eikichi all I really had to go on was stories and anime and movies... so it surprised me.

Surprised you how?

[audio]

[sakedrinking]

Well... I never expected anyone to love me in that way... ever.

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

I think most people feel that way, really.

[audio]

[sakedrinking]

... perhaps.

[She's just going to... not get in to all the things that happened to her before the Digital World.]

I heard once that our toughest critics are ourselves. I got to say I believe that.

You don't know the half of it, Ratchet...

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

You'd be surprised.

[audio]

[sakedrinking]

Mn.

[Sorry, Ratchet. She's not going to get in to it here.]

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

...I should be in DATS soon.

[sakedrinking]

What division?

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

I applied for Heavy but I think I'm being placed in General with part time in the Garage.

[sakedrinking]

Oh. That's good. I look forward to having you there.

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

I look forward to being there. Anyway, I should go. Talk to you later.

[audio]

[sakedrinking]

Alright. Have a nice day, Ratchet.

Re: [audio]

[last_lombax]

You too, Haku.

[And Ratchet disconnects.]
