Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.
[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]
Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!
LOOK. HERE.
CAN ANYONE SEE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO TEXT SOMEONE AND EVERY TEXT I [Sounds of fingers furiously tapping] TRY [More tapping] I GET [TAPPING]

"MESSAGE CANNOT BE DELIVERED" MY BRIGHT, BLUE ASS!!! WHO THE HELL MADE THESE PIECES OF—
[Darin is drowned out by the sound of wind because he did, in fact, throw his phone.]

Karlach, really; perhaps you ought to take it easy on the poor boy. At this rate, you're going to kill the young man, and then no one will be happy, including you.
[That he's managed to say all of that with a straight face is incredible, because he's absolutely been laughing while listening along, against his better judgement.]
no, gale. run.
he's playing a dangerous game with his own life
If Karlach were anyone but who she is, this would most certainly be a trap. It likely still is, but a far less malicious sort, or so he would hope.]
I feel I ought to take extreme caution in how I answer this. Clearly, he's been blinded by the fact that his affections are decidedly elsewhere.
[He's glad she can't see how red his face has to be at the moment, but she can probably hear it at this point.]

What I'm hearing is you think mine are the best.
( playfully. )
Always knew you were a man of taste.
no subject
[He clears his throat, a playful note of amusement in his voice.]
I've something of a reputation for my keen eye, and I'll be the first to admit I have a fondness for the finer things in life.
