[Evidently, whoever's on the other end is waiting for one too.] [A deep male voice says, "It's been a long time, Maria."] (gimme a mind roll at +1) [Maria doesn't notice anything ^^] ["Maybe you would prefer I call you Minami. But you don't use that name anymore, do you?] [There's laughter. "The lieutenant? You'd like that, wouldn't you? No, this is the other player. You've had a good long rest; it is time for round two of the game."] ["Oh, no, I've known you longer than that. I've known you when your parents died.... then when your other parents died... quite a coincidence, isn't it?"] [More laughter, "I see you get the picture. Good, you're catching on quick. That will give you more time."] ["I'm sure you're just dying to meet me. I know this young lady is." There's some muffled screaming in the background before he says again, "Literally."] "Oh, nobody you know. Which is good. You won't feel so bad when she dies in... Oh, exactly 26 minutes."
