7th Episode [Phone calls]

[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]

[They've got a telephone. It's mostly so that people can call the doctor when they need her, even if it isn't normal working hours. Illnesses and accidents don't wait, after all.

Many of her aristocratic friends feel like they're from a separate lifetime these days, so she's always a bit surprised to hear from the ones that have kept in closer touch. The surprise, at least, probably shows in her voice.]

Do you mean a hobby?

[There had been much book reading tonight after coming home from her errands elsewhere, and when the phone kept ringing... and ringing... and ringing... without anyone answering it, Cloche had just about enough.

So when she answers, she sounds pretty irritated that someone wouldn't stop calling her house.]

Yes, hello?

[Clearly Mr. Panda was calling to speak to her father instead of Fuuko, she very rarely interacts with her father's associates, but she can't help covering the phone as she says the line to herself a few times.]

Mr. Panda, Mr.Panda, Mr. Panda... Fuuko isn't sure what sort of good feeling Fuuko is meant to be experiencing, but Fuuko isn't feeling anything after saying that.

[Jade is already sitting in bed with a book. And it's certainly been one of those days. He almost has no patience for Panda's latest call. Almost.]

Have you tried looking into any type of change to your hairstyle?

[Because they're rich, they probably have two or three different phone lines in their house-mansion-thing. Just because!!!]

Dad, you're so embarrasing!!! I'm hanging up!

[Ah, Mr. Panda. Jack knows him well and even though he would rather be doing something else, Jack has had a few drinks by now.]

Well, Mr. Panda, you have to ask yourself what you're looking for in a woman. Does her background bother you?

[ As it happens, Mr. Panda's youngest wanders into his room just as he's wrapping up a (very long, by the sounds of it.) phone call. Her terrier isn't with her right now - he's all worn out after a day of leading her around! - so she has to feel her way around the room until she finds the bed so she can sit and wait for papa to finish his call. ]

[Peony has no idea why anyone could be calling so late on a school night, but he picks it up anyway to make it stop ringing at every corner of the house where a phone is installed. Who knows, right? It could also be important!]

[But since he's still half asleep when he answers, he mumbles into the speaker with what sounds like, "five more minutes... please hold."]
