[ That particular scenario also feels oddly familiar, and Ardbert wonders if this person (whoever they are) had spoken with someone about him. Granted, not many people here know the specifics of what he's been through, nor would they share it with a stranger. ]

I suppose you make a point. Some might long for such things. However, I want to get to the bottom of what's happening here.

And it's not that! I'm not used to being contacted like this, though it may be normal where you're from.

[ Maybe they got off on the wrong foot. Let's try again... ]

What's your name? Let's start there.

[ He's painfully vanilla, sorry. ]

[She's just full of shit Ardbert don't listen to her]

Booooooooo. Well I guess somebody's gotta do it. A girl gets tired of waking up in unusual places you know?

It is, but I don't get to use the phone back home, and we never called anybody we didn't have to. But since we're all in the same boat here OR IS IT TRAIN CAR???? 🚂 CHOO CHOO! i figured it'd be fun to start making friends!!!!!!!!!!!🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Me? My name

is

JILL!

Hit me with another one

[ Jill is a rather normal-sounding name, all things considered. That may be the most shocking revelation thus far. ]

Why is it that you can't use a phone back home? Do only certain kinds of people have access to them?

[ The device is certainly clever, and yet it wouldn't surprise Ardbert if they were rather expensive. Strange, then, that they'd all been provided with one here. ]

[Depending on the details she doles out, he might hang up on her quicker than expected. It's inevitable, but. You know.]

no no no, most people did! I was just a sneaky secret

didn't want to be found out either

but it doesn't matter here :) :)

now you answer one for me okaaaaaayy? what

is your happiest memory

[ A secret? As soon as Ardbert feels that he might be getting somewhere with this mystery person, she throws him off yet again.

This conversation has been harmless enough thus far (if baffling), but some alarm bells have begun to go off. ]

My happiest memory?

[ On the one hand, he has to think back rather far. On the other hand, there was a time in his life when such happy moments were plentiful. There's also, of course, the more recent event of reconnecting with Aria, but he doesn't want to delve too deep with someone he's not even met face-to-face. ]

Any time spent with my closest friends, I would say. And you?

haha that's so cute!!!!!! You're a real sweet guy aren't you? Sensitive type ☺️💕 I like that

are they here with you?

I think mine might be the day I met

✨💖✨💖 MASTER 💖✨💖✨

[ Oh. That question is innocent enough, and yet Ardbert can't feel anything but a hollowness in his chest. Aria's presence here is good, it's enough, and yet he was looking forward to seeing them all again. ]

They're not, I'm afraid. But someone else close to me is here, so it's all right.

[ More of those symbols? Capital letters? What is all this? ]

And who is that?

really????? WHO IS IT? YOUR GIRLFREIND?????????

[time to cut a bitch.

jk she's not into carving up girls, aria is spared. Besides which:]

Just the man who holds my heart in his hands!!! You ever meet somebody and just know you're a goner? That other guys can be cute but none will ever be half so adorable, half so SMOKING HOT?

Yeah that's him.

[ Why so many question marks and capital letters? Aria isn't his girlfriend, but would it be so terrible if she was? Ardbert is mainly just confused that this person may(?) be trying to proposition him over the phone. Is this how people meet and interact where she's from? ]

No, not that, though we are very close.

[ He has no idea how to begin explaining what he and Aria are to each other, so time to move on. ]

Oh, I see. The one who your heart belongs to. [ To say nothing of her loins. ] I assume he isn't here?

[ Because it is starting to feel like she's putting a lot of effort into cozying up to him... ]

[Because it's IMPORTANT ARDBERT! GIVE HER THE DEETS!!!! Also yes it is, wait until train town gets a Hinge App]

Is she your sister? Which one is she?

[Leaving to scroll...hmm hmm hmm, who could it be?

Oh she should probably answer that other part.]

believe me you'd KNOW if he was here, can't miss him!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 There's a lot of a stars in this sky, but only one moon! ⭐⭐⭐🌙⭐⭐⭐ [Aren't stars bigger than literally any moon in the universe...] So if you ever see a tall blond piece with sexy specs and a tight ass, you tell him Jill's looking for him, okay? 💋😍😈🙌🍑

Not my sister, though we are very good friends. Her name is Aria.

[ There doesn't seem to be any reason to hide her identity, even if this Jill person is a bit strange. It's nothing Aria wouldn't be able to handle, if she also ends up with a random message on her phone.

(Sorry, Aria.)

A good-looking, tall blond man with spectacles? All the additional details aside, that's a decent enough description. ]

I could certainly keep an eye out for him for you.

is she a soprano

[HA! Opera humor. Guess she has another inbox to hit up sometime.

Also don't forget the peach Ardbert, that's the most important part! It is TAUT.]

aren't you such a doll? I could just eat you up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway A.B. it's been fun but there's so much to do so much to see

i'm calling it a night

make sure you have some sweet dreams all right

[ Before Ardbert can try to recall if he's ever actually heard Aria sing, another series of messages comes through and it appears that Jill has had her fill of him.

This entire exchange was extremely odd, but it's over now and if he somehow made Jill's time in this place easier on her, then it wasn't a waste.

Gods if it wasn't strange, though. He has to admit he's relieved it's over. ]

You as well, Jill. Sleep well.

[she will

Hard not to when she'll be picturing you naked ~~and bleeding to death~~]

😘💘😘💘😴😴😴

Nighty night
