[ For the moment, the video function remains off. Which is a shame, because dem ginger curls. But he's testing the waters, so for now it's only the Scottish brogue that filters over the network. ]

It figures. The one time I dial 999 and nobody bloody answers.

[ It's probably a good thing no one answered; Ashley isn't even sure what he would have said. This was all too surreal already. ]

That's just typical; years of loyal service and putting up with government standards and this is the thanks I get.

So who am I talking to? To whom do I owe the great honour of experiencing this mental clusterfuck, and when do I get to wake up? More importantly, where can I find a pack of cigarettes. Mine's almost out.

[ All things considered, Ashley sounds pretty calm. His tone is light, if a bit annoyed, though the sarcasm that laces his every word runs deep. ]

Dazzling beauty is right.

Aren't you a little young to be playing 'I'll show you mine if you show me yours'? [ He's going by the voice, here. It's nothing personal, Raven. ]

[Voice]

[feel_nevermore]

[Matter-of-factly.] Well I did show you my face before you turned back to voice feed. So it'd be rather pointless for me to play that now.

What makes you thing I'm that young anyway? [Certainly not her voice.]

No offense, lass-

but only teenagers, mid-life crisis goths, and effeminate boys frequent a hood, and cape. [ And crazy people- but hey, he's trying to dial it back a bit. There's obvious amusement in his tone, though. ]

In your dimension, maybe. [That's a traditional outfit on Azarath, mind you. Her mother wears the same and her Master too.]

Re: [Voice]

[leastfuckedup]

In my dimension. [ He rolls his eyes as he repeats this in a disbelieving tone. Still, supposedly he's in the future so he can't exactly dismiss it that quickly. ]

My point still stands.

[Voice]

[feel_nevermore]

...Right. [It's not as if she cares about your point anyway.]

So Mister Fashion Police, do you have name? Or should I keep calling you that?

[Voice]

[leastfuckedup]

[ He snorts at this. He's certainly no 'fashion police' in his uniform greens, that's for sure. ]

Ashley. [ A pause, for effect- and then, ] And what about you? Or should I just call you little miss goth girl?

Raven's shorter.
