The Voice Mail Meme

1. Your character just missed a call! Bummer. Was it their work number or their personal phone? What's their voice mail message sound like? Do they have an embarrassing ringtone? Say so in your comment! 

2. Others tag in with a message (or more) that they left after the tone! Is it late at night, or way too early in the morning? Was it was urgent or did they just want to say hi? Maybe they're not impressed with your character's answering machine message. Maybe it's just... heavy... breathing...

3. Call them back! (...or don't if it was the last one!) Text them a quick message if you're busy. Get caught up in phone tag if you keep missing each other's calls. Or, fuck calls, just arrange to meet up somewhere - even surprise them with a visit! Or... just ignore them entirely if you're avoiding them. Never mind that they left twelve messages on your phone...

4. Remember to say something after the beep!

[Beep!]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

Hey! It's Just me...

You know, your rookie dragon pal

Listen, If you come back from your mission and find that some of the Nomad smells ALOT like soot and ash, it might be because I thought I could use some actual dragon magic practice and well...

Ahaha, Otacon's had to head towards the nearest furniture depot to replace alot of stuff.

Just thought I'd warn you in advance and save you alot of yelling when you get back.

K, bye!
