SWITCHBOARD

If you're deciding to actually use that phone in your room, go right ahead; the Wordsmith is a busy man but he's often around, and he has no real reason not to talk to you, assuming that you do it correctly.

Comments are screened for privacy; it's rude to eavesdrop.

[... So this one isn't actually going to be after ten at night, just because he wants to see if he can call home. It's actually around tenish in the morning. The dial's a little hard to figure out how to work (and it's not like it matters anyway) but he's got it, sitting on his bed as carefree as can be.]

Yo, Mom! Sorry I ain't gonna be back for a while, got taken from Professor Oak's place to some tacky school with a buncha other people. We don't even have a real lesson plan goin'!

Of course not. Did you think that would actually work?
uncouthhatcher: (excuse fuckin you)

[personal profile] uncouthhatcher 2017-01-23 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well obviously! Why the hell can we only call you? That's bullshit! I gotta give my mom a head's up about this place! And what if we wanna talk to our fellow student-- apprentices, whatever, without movin' from the bed, huh?!

Contact with the outside world isn't possible. And your second point can be resolved with the bare minimum amount of effort.
uncouthhatcher: (the hell are u talkin about buddy)

Have seen the hallways? They're long as hell! My best friend's way far away from me! [...] Not that he'd wanna talk on the phone anyway, there ain't a single thing he trusts in this place but me.

[Paranoid for good reason, apparently. What bullshit.]

It's more about if it's like, three in the mornin' and I don't wanna get up but I need to talk to him about something. And no, some things can't wait until after sleep.
