Voice

[love_and_peace]

Hello? This is Vash, calling for a, um, Vauhan Isstra-dez? Is this the right number?

Re: Voice

[droppedstitch]

Istradez, yes.

What do you need?

[love_and_peace]

[ Huh. His voice sounds really familiar. ]

Well I don't know if you've heard, but it seems like we've been assigned to work together! At least for the next few weeks, anyway! And I should warn you right now that I'm brand new to this whole warden-inmate thing, so I'm not really sure where we should start! Do you have any ideas?

[droppedstitch]

[He turns on the video.]

Did you neglect to remember my name, Vash?

Still Audio on his end

[love_and_peace]

Mikodez? ...Why are you answering somebody else's calls! Or did you get demoted to inmate already?

Re: Still Audio on his end

[droppedstitch]

[Sigh.]

I'm his brother.

[love_and_peace]

He's your brother? ...I see.

Well, can you put him on? He's the one I need to talk to. I've been assigned to be his warden for the next few weeks.

[droppedstitch]

My friend.

I'm Istradez. Mikodez is somewhere around, making trouble.

[love_and_peace]

[ There's a very long pause. ]

You're twins?

[droppedstitch]

No.

[A grin.]

He's a year older than me.

[love_and_peace]

But you look the same! You look exactly the same!

[ And realization dawns. ]

Hey! You've been pretending to be him, haven't you? With me! Which time was it?

[droppedstitch]

I have no idea what you mean.

[love_and_peace]

Relationships are supposed to be built on trust, you know.

[droppedstitch]

Are they? And what sort of relationship do you think we have?

[love_and_peace]

The kind where I'm supposed to help you get out of here! Didn't anybody tell you how this place works?

[droppedstitch]

I suppose.

But I liked being under the inmate supervisor. I could ask for anything.

[love_and_peace]

Like what?

[droppedstitch]

I need new eyeshadow and my stores of good brandy have dried up, for example.

[love_and_peace]

I'm not going to buy you makeup.

[droppedstitch]

I suppose I'll never graduate.

[love_and_peace]

[ Oh this little shit. ]

It sounds like you're making yourself right at home here, so I suppose you never will!

[droppedstitch]

Now, now. That isn't becoming of a warden. We are all redeemable after all!

[love_and_peace]

Only if you want to be! Do you want to go back home?

[droppedstitch]

That depends.

[love_and_peace]

Depends on what?
