7th Episode [Phone calls]

[bamboozler]

[Phone calls locked to aristocracy!]

[Welcome to the 1950's. Mr. Panda is a successful banker and father known around town as a jovial and, unfortunately, clueless man. His biggest successes are Bearbank, his little princess Pilouette, his very dear daughter Toph...and, eh, there might be a third child in the middle there somewhere. Maybe.

Now that he's made his wealth, he spends a lot of his time gossiping! So if you're in the aristocracy and/or on good terms with Panda, you might get one of the following phone calls.]

[Night One]

Hello, hello...! Do you ever want to pick up a really awesome talent, even if it means you have to risk your life to learn it? Is there anyone in town like that?

[Night Two]

Hello, hello...! Don't mind me, just go ahead and start talking! Ah! But first, don't you get a really good feeling when you say "Mr. Panda" out loud? It's great, isn't it?

[Night Three]

Hello, hello...how do you think I should get beautiful women to fall in love with me without even trying? With Pillo and Toph and the other at the dance, I realize it's very quiet around here...

[Option 4]

[On night one, two, or three, Panda is still going to call your character...but what he talks about will be a total surprise! Are you brave enough to take that call?]

[OOC; Since Panda is physically using a phone for this post, this post is only open to rich people and people he might know (teachers, doctors, bank customers...). Sorry. If you pick option 4, just tell me what night and I'll have Panda come up with something just for your character. o7]

[Put the bamboo down Panda, you've had enough. Give your keys to someone else.]

Fuuko could try saying it louder... But even though Fuuko understands how cute pandas and your name are, Fuuko can still think of a much cuter name than that.

[There are no points for guessing what name she finds cuter than Mr. Panda.]

[bamboozler]

[Pandas are cute, but Mr. Panda isn't a panda! ...for now.]

Hmm...are you thinking of the name "Mr. Starfish," Fuuko?

[He likes kids, okay...]

[starfishlovesyou]

[Yes! That's exactly what she's-- Hey. Wait a minute.]

That's the exact name Fuuko was thinking of just now! How did you know?! Has Fuuko's father been telling you about the time Fuuko was taken to the zoo and Fuuko spent the entire time trying to find a starfish in one of the exhibits?!

[Either that or Mr. Panda somehow found a way to read minds through the phone, but that would just be outright weird and horrible.]

[bamboozler]

[Something like that. He's not sure where he's heard it.]

Nope! It was just a guess. It was pretty good, right?

[starfishlovesyou]

Yes, if that really was just a guess then Fuuko thinks that it was more than good!! [It was too good. It's worrying.] What else can you guess rightly about Fuuko? Fuuko wants to see if you're that good at making correct guesses or if Mr. Starfish was just a fluke!

[bamboozler]

Hmm...another guess...I'd guess that Fuuko is a really nice girl who goes to school. Was I right this time?

[starfishlovesyou]

Yes, again! But for some reason Fuuko doesn't feel as surprised this time as Fuuko did before. [Maybe it's because her going to school and being very nice is more common knowledge than what names she thinks are cute.] Perhaps your earlier guesswork was so amazing that Fuuko can no longer be surprised by it.

[bamboozler]

That's exactly it...! If I kept guessing right, wouldn't that be kind of scary? I had to tone it down a little, Fuuko.
