[All Text messages, Emails, Notes, and recorded Holos can be sent to this box. Please post here only through IC means in order to get a hold of Claudio for private or personal reasons. Thank you.]

[This is a connection directly to his NetVice. If he is busy on the other line it will ring four times before going to a phone message. Otherwise it works much like Network recordings and videos]

[If you get his voice mail it will simply say:]

This is Claudio. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I can.

[Someone is being a lazy bastard today and chilling, invisible, on the apartment roof tops again. This means that he almost didn't answer the call right away. This means it rang a few times before he answered.]

The world is still in tact. It hasn't burned down yet. [Voice a bit slurred and lazy]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

[Trauma raises an eyebrow, but of course that can't be seen even if it's just implied by his existence.]

But I'm going to get fired if I'm late like this all the time. Next time the snooze button sounds like a good idea, throw a shoe at me or something?

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[This is Claudio. He will never answer the cell in a normal way again. Not with Trauma at least. He's pretty sure he saw the brow raise anyhow]

Does this mean I can get a glass of water to wake you up with if you hit snooze?

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

You do that, you get the same.

[Said like he doesn't care....but the threat is totally there.]

Where are you anyway, man? Didn't see you when I left.

[....Meaning he did the 'talks to air, gets nothing back, and assumes Dio's not there' thing.]

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[He snorted at that] Yeah but I don't hit the snooze on my clock like you do.

[And a frown. This was the part where he was going to get told off... or he could lie?--hnnn] Roof. Wanted a bit of air. [Truth.]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

You're lazy as shit when you don't want to get up.

[He makes sort of a noncommittal sound.]

Help me think up a good excuse for why I'm half an hour late.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

Yeah... but my job doesn't suck as hard as yours does. Makes it easier. Half an hour doesn't seem so bad. Maybe tell em there was an issue on the subway or a bus or you got stuck between ah... siren and a hard place?

[Yeah, not helpful. Darkness as an excuse never works.]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

I'm me. Public transport's not exactly on my buddies list. People know it.

[Heavy sigh]

I kind of hate this. I know most people hate their job, but I'm ready to start shooting planes at the bosses head till I get fired.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

So... get fired. Why stay there anyhow? There has to be something better out there. You're getting better about being around people. Maybe you can find something... better? [He snorted, rolling his eyes] Tell him that you're late because you had to kill someone on your way in. You didn't want to show up with blood on your hands. They'll either leave you alone of freak out. Either way might be good, man.

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

[There's a beat, and Trauma laughs, that weird sound that happens when someone is laughing and trying very hard not to.]

Sorry, they wouldn't hurry up and die and, you know, Cheerleaders legs aren't going to saw themselves off...

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[Good. He likes that sound.]

You know... [Claire... could do that, couldn't she?] Never mind. Where did cheerleaders come into this anyhow?

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

...Right. [Pop culture divide.]

Actually wasn't as out of left field as it sounded. Comic. Funny, in the 'if you quote it you end up on the school watch list a little faster' kind of way.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[Excuse him for not being awesome like you. Exposure does wonders.]

School watch list? [He snorted] Do they let you know you're on that list or is it just a secret assumed list?

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

...It's this thing. Teachers get paranoid, they have a group of kids they keep an eye on.

You can guess if you're on it cause you get called in to the councilor's office a lot more than other people.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

Ah...

Well...

I might have been on one, if my school had one. I don't know. I never really liked school. Waste of time. [He only stayed cus... well he was pretty good in it, and his mom would have a fit... and Newo.]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

It was fine.

They just didn't like me.

[....That could possibly sound more bratty and vicious, but it would take a little effort. And by a little, I mean a lot. ]

...There's...not a lot out tonight.

[Sounds a little confused by the fact that he's not had to pause in an alley until something's passed or go boggart at something for a little while.]

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

Being liked in school wasn't part of the package deal I hear.

[He frowned at that last part though.] I have a few creepies around here. Nothing too bad. Seems normal so far. Where are you at anyhow? Maybe it's a slow hour.

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

More than half way to work. Normally I'd have hit something by now.

[Something just feels OFF as hell and it's BOTHERING him. He can't put a finger on it.]

I'm...I'm probably wrong.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

I doubt it's anything. Just a lucky day on the way to shitty work. Maybe when you get there things will be good as well. Promotion even though you're late kind of thing.

[He doesn't sound so confident thought. Hmm]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

....Me? Lucky? ...Yeah. Right.

[He sounds distracted. Because SOMETHING is poking at the back of his head telling him something's up but he can't get a grip on it. It's really irritating.]

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

Never know. [A pause, then a snort] Only you would would complain about an easy trip to work. [Words. He will eat them later, wont he?]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

There's such a thing as 'too easy'. Silence in the trash compactor is a bad sign.

[Doesn't bother to clarify further.]

...It's not that it's- Powers can't itch, but that's the best word I can...

Dude. I'm probably just...Probably nothing.

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[Silent a moment. This was a strange conversation.]

Nothing? Like... there's really nothing around? Man how long you going to take to get to work. [That would be the sound of Claudio feeling a little on edge now.]

[call]

[mademyhell.livejournal.com]

...Told you. It's nothing. I'm just on edge. That's-

[Trauma pauses and his voice distorts slightly....Yes, someone just activated his powers because he was feeling off and nervous.]

...That's all.

[He's also lying when he's saying it's nothing. But he thinks he's just about to run into a darkness monster.]

[call]

[thecrowingtobe.livejournal.com]

[He was silent for a moment, clearly frowning. Moving no less. He'd gone inside now, because something was bugging Trauma, so for some reason he wanted to go back inside to ... well to make things easier, not that it mattered. He saw in the stairwell inside to the roof access and sat down again, frowning.]

If you say so. Try to hurry your slow ass up and get to work. Let them fire you, go take a nap, then come home when it's daylight.
