_hello! You have reached Shinoa's contract. This shit can't be taken out of my house so I'll respond when I next return! Calls will be recorded, please leave your message after the beep. Or just send a text message! That might be easier.

BEEP_

[Shinoa can be privately contracted through TEXT MESSAGE / CALLS to a cell phone she has in her house. Her number is listed under her details on the bulletin board, and on a piece of paper taped to her mailbox.

PACKAGES and WRITTEN LETTERS can also be delivered to her mailbox.]

[ Lilith squints into the phone, focusing on Shinoa's beautiful work of art.

She lied. She said no one cared, and that's why no one ever came. She was nothing but a worthless monster, no matter what she may lead herself to believe. That much... Lilith remembered.

But Shinoa had cared. Shinoa worried over Lilith's absence, she tried to seek her out as best she could, she-- ]

I'm cuter than that.

[ ok then ]

[scythersergeant]

[...]

Yeah, maybe that's why they didn't recognize you. I'm a vampire-hunter, not an artist!

[soulflash]

Ah--I didn't mean...

[ A vampire hunter, though... Shinoa cared, but Shinoa took down monsters. Monsters that would hunt in the shadows and prey upon innocent, unsuspecting humans... Ones that would show no mercy, and fight until their bodies gave out on them. ]

I've... met vampires before? [ It's confusion, as Lilith tries her best to sort out her thoughts. She knows she's distracted, completely sidestepping the major issue at hand and the entire reason she called Shinoa over. ]

N-nevermind! Shinoa. [ Lilith squares her stance, gathers her focus, and stares directly at Shinoa. Her voice is strong, dripping in venom as she continues. ]

Never get involved with that girl again. Please.

[scythersergeant]

Hm? What's wrong?

[By now, Shinoa too has sensed something on edge in Lilith's demeanor.]

I'm sure your vampires aren't the same as mine! Probably- hm?

Which girl?

[Bonnie?]

Did something happen?
