[ Rather than any form of special automated voice recorded message by Yozora, any who may attempt to contact her via device would be greeted with the following, rather generic, mechanical-sounding voice message: ]

The number you have dialled is currently unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.

[ Beep. ]

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera waits patiently for her message to play before he leaves his own, tone not angry, though the gravel of his voice implies that he may be.]

It was you!

text replies /o/

[airfriends]

What?

still voice on this end!

[bakudan_bambino]

Did you give Doctor McCoy my address?

[It makes sense after all her questions from that entry.]

permatext for now unless specified!

[airfriends]

Why do you ask?

[ He's totally not getting a straight answer out of her...

or, well, her answer actually depends on his answer to her question. if that makes sense. ]

and permavoice here! hurray (I'm eventually going to forget about changing this >>)

[bakudan_bambino]

Well that's...

I was going through everything and you asked for my address, but never arrived. You also knew that the doctor was coming...

If I owe someone gratitude, I won't just ignore something like that. So... thank you, uh...

I don't know your name, either.

whee o7

[airfriends]

I didn't do it to be thanked.

But it's Yozora.

o7

[bakudan_bambino]

Just accept it. It can't be that bad that you helped someone.

Thanks, Yozora. I'm Gokudera.

If there's any way I can repay you, I'm indebted to you... [To a lot of people, actually.]

[airfriends]

It's unimportant.

[ But, hmm. Indebted to her, huh. She could make use of this at another time. ]

If you insist?

[bakudan_bambino]

Is it?

Hey, without you're help, I could be dead. [Even if he'd gotten a lot of help, the doctor had ultimately been the one to save his life, he's sure.

And he'd rather owe Yozora than be dead.]

So yeah, but you've only got one shot. I may owe you my life, but... that doesn't mean you can call on me for favors all the time.

[airfriends]

I suppose that is a possibility, isn't it?

[ How casually put. ]

Well, I'm drawing a blank for now. So maybe another time.

[bakudan_bambino]

You saw the shape I was in.

[Well, this conversation is after the fact. He's not going to be dramatic. He doesn't even know if this person is a guy or a girl, or what they look like.]

Fine, you have my number.

[airfriends]

Right. I'll contact you if something does come to mind.

voice;

[bakudan_bambino]

Hey Yozora.

Sorry this is a little out of the blue. Annie and I have been doing some talking and she mentioned you guys are roommates.

You know... I don't mind helping. It won't even have to count towards me repaying you, so if you're interested, I can come over...

voice

[airfriends]

[ 'Annie didn't have to go ahead and do that...' ]

[ She's hesitant, but she does call back a few moments after his initial message. ]

... Sure. I kinda needed to get it done soon, anyway.

voice

[bakudan_bambino]

[Oh! She responded! He doesn't know why he was so worried that she wouldn't, but it might just be that he worries too much.]

When was the last time you worshiped?

If you don't mind me asking...

[airfriends]

[ Even at this point, she's already been feeling under the weather for a bit... but she doesn't exactly need to let him know that. ]

I'd ask the same question of you.

[bakudan_bambino]

For me... it hasn't even been two weeks. If Annie is worried about you, though, then you're putting it off too often or you're making that a habit. I'm not judging you, but if you want to stay well... even if it's just little things, they shouldn't be avoided.

Mind if I head over now? We don't have to do anything you're uncomfortable with.

[It doesn't have to be some big deal or anything he's going to push her into. He'd also like to continue this conversation in person.]

[airfriends]

... I'm comfortable with my own habits, thanks. But fine, you can come over now.

[ She doesn't like others telling her what's wrong with how she's doing whatever she's doing, but... she does know she has to do it again soon. ]

[sickbays]

In light of Dr. Hadesu's recent departure, I'll be moving my office, as well as our biweekly meetings, to the infirmary itself. This won't have any effect on our schedule, so just show up as you usually do.

I've also got a couple of medical texts for you to read, next time you drop in.

text « gotcha

[airfriends]

Just next door, yes? I understand.

text «

[sickbays]

Right.

[ And that's... kind of all he really wanted to say, but ending it there feels a bit dismissive, even for him, so he tries moving the conversation along anyway. ]

My ass I'll be parked there most of the time, if you ever need anything. Door's always open to you.

[airfriends]

[ Yozora's not much of a conversationalist, and she doesn't plan to pretend to be otherwise, either. ]

Understood. What kind of medical texts are we talking about, by the way?

text «

[sickbays]

A couple of them are more like handbooks for survival in remote lands. The other two are the classic Atlas of Human Anatomy and Fundamentals of Pathology.

[ This and this being the two handbooks he's referring to. ]

The last two might be more up Otonashi's aisle, but if you wanna take a look at them and/or go through them with me, I won't say no.

text «

[airfriends]

Gifts from the Twelve then, I'm guessing?

I should be alright on my own, but I'll be sure to ask if I need help understanding anything.

[ She's probably proven just how independent and capable she is in the last few weeks, especially when it comes to academic pursuits. ]

text «

[sickbays]

Yeah, the usual. Hell, they even gave me a whiteboard and markers to go with them. Almost feels like a real class now.

And please do ask questions about the material, that's what I'm here for. I might quiz you on some of it anyway, just to be sure you're grasping the key concepts. That, and I'd really hate to deprive you of the joy that is anatomy quizzes.

[ Sounds like someone's having flashbacks to first year med school. ]

[airfriends]

I'm sure they'll be a pleasure.

[ Quizzes? No problem. She had never answered a single quizzed question wrong in class, and she was not about to start doing so while she was here. ]

Anything specific I should look out for?

[ She intends on reading, understanding and memorizing the contents of each book word for word -- not a difficult feat for her -- but it was always good to keep specific information in mind so that she could bring it up to her working memory from her explicit memory easily. ]

[sickbays]

There is, yes. Though it might be easier if I just show you the sections when you come to retrieve the books.

[airfriends]

Alright.

Oh. If Otonashi wants the latter two books, he can have them first. I can't read that many within a short span of time, anyway.

[ Shouldn't that be Otonashi's line? He's the senior here! ]

[sickbays]

As considerate as that is, I was gonna let him have first crack at them anyway. The other two are all yours though.

[airfriends]

[ And here she thought she was your favorite... (not really) ]

Oh, right. Got it.

[ Hmm. What else is there to talk about... ]

10/03

[bakudan_bambino]

I may not be Japanese, but as long as you don't use my given name, you're fine.

So... do you think if I borrowed your corset, the Tenth would like that?

[airfriends]

[ She's got no idea what this whole thing is about, but there's something more important to her at this point: ] I wasn't aware that we were on talking terms.

[bakudan_bambino]

What?

[bakudan_bambino]

I wasn't talking to you!

[airfriends]

I also wasn't aware that your boss was into crossdressing his lackeys. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

[ how could she resist? ]

[bakudan_bambino]

He isn't!

WHY WOULD YOU NEED THAT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!?

[airfriends]

That's confidential information.

[ Not really, but she does enjoy making him react like this. ]

[bakudan_bambino]

I don't even own a corset!

[airfriends]

That much I know. You're asking to borrow one, aren't you?

Well, I don't have one that would fit you.

[ The thing about the Twelve... they always tend to make sure they leave something related to sex in the presents they give to people here. Among the clothes she had received previously, there was one... highly raunchy-looking corset. It almost looked like it was suited for the more assertive of women. ]

[bakudan_bambino]

See! It wouldn't even make sense for me to ask you, then! I didn't even know you owned one to begin with...

[Time to start brooding.]

[airfriends]

That doesn't change the fact that you were going to borrow a corset from someone.

[ Let's just quietly let the fact that she owns one at all slide... ]

[bakudan_bambino]

Well, he misfired a message at me about having someone wear it, and it was a pretty convincing argument.

[airfriends]

Who? Your boss? I'm not sure which is worse, seeing you in a corset or seeing him in a corset.

[bakudan_bambino]

No. Kageyama.

As if you'd ever see! You'd probably just be an asshole about it anyways! What the fuck is your problem, anyways?!

[airfriends]

Sheesh. I'm pretty sure you've got far more problems than I do.

Oh wait. [ Probably not. ]

[bakudan_bambino]

What? You don't know anything about me except that I like to kiss before I worship and that I have a friend that I call 'The Tenth'

[airfriends]

It's unimportant.

So? Who's the one putting on the corset? You?

[bakudan_bambino]

Unimportant?! It's the only thing you know about me! You can't just go around fucking assuming things based off of that alone!

I already told you! Kageyama! Or... his friend, Hinata.
