[ Ring ring hello there, Orihime has another question! Bright and early, too; she's up at 7:15am. A lot of things have been going through her mind since her arrival, and she has a lot more questions for the Wordsmith. ]
Hello? Is this working...?

[... 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'!

[ Sometime around ... well, one of the first open times where Elda can call the guy (probably in the middle f the night because #reasons) Elda is going to test out this phone. She had a question that she could have asked over the PA system but she in no way wanted to make this detail more public. As such...

Hello? Is this thing connected?

[ It's almost midnight and Viktor can't sleep. 'Sup, Wordsmith. ]
Добрый вечер! Is my adorable husband-to-be awake?
[ ...He actually doesn't think the Wordsmith put the damn engagement ring on him or that he wants Viktor as his husband, he's just saying this because he thinks it's funny. ]

[Excuse her and her curiosity. With trial and error and just being able to logically figure things out, she'll make an attempt to call this Wordsmith. Honestly, she doesn't like him, but she is of thought that perhaps they could speak and, well, get things figured out.
At least that's how Estelle thinks...]
I think this is how you do it. This technology here is so complicated.

...I don't believe I'm your mother, Mischievous.
[....... he's gonna hang up
and redial.]
Hello?

Hello?
If that's meant to refer to me, then yes. I am clearly awake.
[ And then much more seriously: ]
So are you the reason why I can't erase people's memories now?

What's that supposed to mean? ... How can someone even do that, anyway?!
[ She intends to be civil... ish. But she did snap that ]

Third time's the charm, I guess.
[LET'S DO IT AGAIN. I'M SO SORRY.]
Smitty?

Oh! Hello! [She sounds chipper that she got a response!]
So, yesterday I don't think we got off to a good start. Um, I suppose you already know my name, Estellise, even if you do call my by that title.
I was hoping we could get to know each other and perhaps I could come to understand why this is happening.
[Optimism at its finest...]

Oh, good! I was wondering if you'd be willing to give us some alcohol. A few bottles of vodka or saké would be nice.
...I can perhaps try to make such arrangements.
