( THE OPERATOR )
 Logic dictates that a cordless telephone should not operate without its base station, but that is exactly what the item you have been blessed (cursed) with does. On most days, it is a useless piece of technology that takes up space at best and unnerves you at worst. You cannot make calls with it. Pressing any of its buttons does nothing. And try as you might to get rid of it, it will always show up on your person even if you didn't take it along with you when leaving your room. When you least expect it, however, it begins to ring. The noise is high pitched and painful to your senses — but nobody around you seems to notice. It will not stop until you pick it up, with the ringing becoming louder and louder by the second. Strangely enough, nobody will seem to notice if you were to answer the call in the middle of a crowded room. So... What will you do, Operator? Welcome, Operator! As you must know by now, your character has been assigned an item role, with their personal item being a cordless telephone with no base station. This telephone will be both invisible and silent to others, meaning your character never has to worry about accidentally revealing their role. On the other hand, it means they can't simply whip our their phone and hand it over to someone else for any reason. Tragic, we know. But don't worry, there will be plenty of others way to have fun. Due to the nature of this post, we can't give you a set day for when the phone will do its thing. A weekly placeholder top level will be added to this post on Monday, in tandem with the weekly mingle. We will be replying to this top level whenever your character receives a call on the cordless phone, and you will get the chance to either ignore the call or pick it up. Though we'll be notifying you through plurk every time a new call goes up, we strongly suggest tracking comments on this post. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to let us know through PM or PPs. ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation |
