[Under normal conditions, Zen wouldn't bother resorting to the network for this kind of question, often preferring to investigate on his own. But growing impatience pushes him to do this, in a way he assumes will yield quick answers.

When the audio starts, there's a distinctive sound of a lighter, followed by an exhalation. Smokers, and those who have been around one for long enough to recognize this combination of sounds will easily be able to infer that he is, in fact, smoking.]

I guess this has been asked countless and countless of times, so what's one more time, right?

[A small pause as he takes another drag, breathing the smoke out more softly this time. Despite the sharp wording, his tone is somehow controlled.]

Anyone know of a way to stop whatever this moon's doing that's getting on my nerves?

[Because it's hard not to make the connection between the sanguine moon up in the sky and the maddening restlessness.]

Comments

[farmerofwrath]

Oh, well. Thanks for wasting my time.

[Say something useful or he's cutting the feed in 5... 4... 3...]

[satanslash]

[He's cackling for a second. That was worth the reaction.]

Okay, okay, calm your tits man. I was just kiddin'. But seriously, there's nothin' you can do about how the moons affect people. Sorry.

[farmerofwrath]

[Did he seem to be in the mood for jokes?! Besides, "calming down" is easier said than done, Rin!]

... How do you deal with it, then?

[satanslash]

[Buddy you gotta learn to laugh at yourself...]

Weeeeellllll... I have a girlfriend for that.

[Not at all helpful.]

[farmerofwrath]

[Pretty hard to do when some strange moon is making the smallest things get on your nerves by simply being up there in the sky.]

My condolences.

[100% useless advice for single people with trust issues. Even more so when they're bad at dealing with women.]

[satanslash]

H-hey! Don't talk about Kohaku like that!

[farmerofwrath]

[He didn't really say anything outright bad though? But here's his chance to get revenge for Rin making fun of him!]

What, so she's actually more than just an outlet for your needs?

[satanslash]

[Shit.]

Uh, doy. She's the best! And I ain't the sort to use someone like that.

[farmerofwrath]

[Zen's far too grumpy right now to bother continuing what feels like pointless conversation to him. He certainly doesn't want to hear the other brag about how wonderful his girlfriend is, either.]

Good for you. It's none of my business, anyway. And none of it will help me in the slightest.

[A short pause ensues as he takes a short drag and exhales.]

Guess I'll say this again. Thanks for wasting my time.

[Feel free to hang up on his face or say your last comeback before he hangs up.]

[satanslash]

[Uuuuuuuughhh.

Why you grumpy guys always gotta make this not fun.]

H-hey, wait a second!

[farmerofwrath]

[Blame Sanguis!! Zen's about to press that button when Rin's voice stops him. He's not hopeful but what if this guy has something useful to share in the end?]

... What is it?

[Comes the belated reply, muttered with a sigh. Zen's seriously going to snap and cut the feed if it's not important. Rin would better choose his words carefully!]

[satanslash]

[He's going to try...]

Look, I can't help with the... the moon shit. [He waves his hand in the air, obviously indicating the space beyond the city.] But I can give a peace offerin' for givin' you shit.
