Mireille Duroc | Silver Wolf (modern AU)

You've reached Mireille Duroc.

I'm currently elsewhere engaged or otherwise unavailable. It is recommended that you call me later and unless your matter is exceedingly urgent, please do not leave a message.

Rather, my office hours are stated in my official profile; to be found on the university's website.

Thank you.

[population_ctrl]

Mireille. Learn to pick up your phone.

Call me back.

[Three beeps, closing in on voicemail --]

... what?

[2 hours later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

You were the one to leave me a rather uninformative message.

[2 hours later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

Well. I couldn't reach you.

[A pause as he responds to something in the background, the conversation muted.]

Are you home right now?

[2 hours later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

[A pause in response.]

Not unlike you, my calendar is available online.

[2 hours later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

Fine.

[And that's the call ending. A bit... abruptly.]

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

Yes?

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

[There's no noise or talk in the background anymore.]

We have a problem.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

Is that so?

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

[Scowl.]

Yes. One of our water pipes burst this morning. Upstairs.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

And every plumber in the city has proved available only through voicemail.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

I told Rosita to turn the water off.

Cancel your meetings.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

I'm not a professional out in plumbing, Jean Louis.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

Mireille.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

Where is the leak?

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

Next to the bedroom.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

And your office has suffered a major percentage of the damage, I imagine.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

Probably. Just keep them out of there.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

They're aware, of course, that the broken pipe isn't to be found in your desk.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

[Paaaaause.]

Either way.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[unreadability]

Either way, you wish for me to stay in the house, so as to ensure no one stumbles upon the same documents that I did.

[2 minutes later | outgoing call]

[population_ctrl]

I don't want any problems. Call me when you're in the taxi.

[And yes, he just hung up on her. Again.]
