Texting~!

[dead_serious]

Technology in the reaper realm always advanced much quicker than in the mortal world. How that was possible wasn't made quite clear, but every employee would have to agree that it made the job far more tolerable and almost manageable. Before they knew it, fancy new machines were showing up in their cubicles and offices. Large ones that could transfer writing from one sheet to countless others. An extremely convenient electronic typewriter that made the organization of files far more streamlined. And now, their newest administered device which allowed them to communicate between departments and even branches without having to travel. They called it a 'cellular phone.'

I best not be returning to a mess on Monday.

[ It's been two days since William left on his business trip. What better way to kill the loneliness of sitting in a hotel room alone all weekend than to reprimand your subordinate. ]

[untodeath]

[ What's this that she's seeing? A text from William, unprompted by harassment? Though she's view it straight away, it will take her a long moment to process the aforementioned fact alone! ]

I won't be making you any promises that I can't keep, darling.❤️

[dead_serious]

Enlighten me on what you have already screwed up. Then at least I can mentally prepare myself.

[untodeath]

Why would you want to spoil the surprise?
I propose a far more interesting topic...
How you, unprovoked, have sent me a text!
Another of our firsts!
After all these years, you still manage to keep things fresh.

[dead_serious]

[ William keeps beginning to type a response, only to have the "..." of Grell's rambling texts continue to show up. At least it gives him time to think of an excuse! ]

The impending stress was making it difficult for me to sleep properly.

[untodeath]

Stressing yourself over stress you've yet to experience?
You know, there are far more productive pastimes that one could practice alone.

[dead_serious]

Fine, what then?
And I do not want to hear any perverse suggestions.

[untodeath]

"Perverse" was precisely what I was going to lead with.
In fact, that's all I had in mind!

[dead_serious]

No.

[untodeath]

You tease.

[dead_serious]

Honestly, what exactly about that is a tease?

[untodeath]

Well, now, I'm just left to imagine it!

[dead_serious]

I wish I could say I was surprised by this information.

[untodeath]

Unsurprised-- and unbothered? Hm!

[dead_serious]

It isn't as though I can stop you from doing so.
I seem to be incapable of turning you off.

[untodeath]

Have you truly ever tried, though?

[dead_serious]

I suppose I would have to bore you in some fashion.
Perhaps I should spend some of my free time with Othello.

[untodeath]

Except the only free time you have seems to be whilst alone on work-related holiday.

[dead_serious]

Rather depressing, really.

[untodeath]

If it has, your attempt was mildly successful.
Bringing up that little lab rat really does stifle the mood.
Ugh!

[dead_serious]

I just may give you another assignment along side him, then.

[untodeath]

No, thank you! I've suffered enough exposure to last me a few decades, at least!

[dead_serious]

We will see.
Humphries said that there are programs I can put on my phone. As entertainment.
Do you know anything of this?

[untodeath]

Fine, do it.
Every time I become frustrated, I'll recall that it's all because of you.
That will surely satisfy me!

And, yes, my darling. They are called "Applications".
"Apps," for short.
You truly haven't explored any of it?
My goodness, where to start!

[dead_serious]

Can you not put all this in one message? I may as well have brought the entire aviary with me.

And no I haven't. That is why I am asking.
