>>6071610“Mat, do you mind if I use your phone to call Amelia? Mine got infected with the virus you’re currently dealing with.” You (Matilda (You)) ask Odetta (Matilda).
“I saved your dumb phone, you bowl head.” Wilma (Odetta) insults you like you’re the real Matilda.
“Sure… You’ll pay me… later…” Odetta (Matilda) will want a refund.
“Any reason for the call?” Fiora (Wilma) wonders.
“I have to learn if this is a city-wide phenomenon. If it isn’t, the perpetrator should be nearby.” You miss your glasses so much...
“Well thought out.” You? (Fiora) commends you. The way you’re describing things makes you feel like you’re having a stroke.
Other people would’ve used this opportunity to see all of Matilda’s contacts, but you? You can’t, because your sister’s name starts with an A and it’s almost at the top. Anyway, you dial her number…
“Is the deed done?” Tactical Amelia acts like a mafiosi before the big hit.
You hang up. “Yeah, it seems to be only us.” You tell the group. Everyone either seems relieved or disappointed (Wilma (Odetta)). Your sister is calling you back, for some reason you feel bad for hanging up abruptly, so you answer.
“P-Please, don’t hang up on me!” Amelia sounds like a sad NPC.
“I needed to confirm that you’re in good health. Goodbye for now.” You imitate Matilda to the best of your abilities.
“OK…” Amelia sounds massively disappointed. You feel terrible. Is this the spirit of perfect customer service within Matilda? She was rude the first time she met you! What’s going on?! Why is Matilda like this?
“What is it? Please, tell me.” You decide to keep on talking. It’s not like you hate your sister or anything, but you don’t want to fuck this up and waste a lot of time explaining what happened.
“You know I’m not preparing this just for him! I didn’t want to make it sound like you aren’t part of this, you missed it too! I would’ve kept it a secret, but you know how to do it better than I can…” Amelia is keeping an actual secret from you (Johnny), you better not pry.
“I’ll get it done soon, I’ve been busy today.” You admit. “I promise I’ll be there.” You don’t know what you’re promising.
