Surreal MUSHing Interlude

[greenstorm]

I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm bahs. Needs to call about three people, all of whose phones are busy. Don't people use voicemail or call waiting anymore?
Solid! Mercan doesn't have a phone.
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm calls Mercan.
Solid! Mercan answers, "Hello?"
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Hello, is.. um, Mercan there."
Solid! Mercan pauses. "Mercan? um, I think you have the wrong number."

I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Er, um... wait, is there a Scott there?"
Solid! Mercan says, "Oh, Scott. Yeah, he lives here... just a sec, I'll get him for you."
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm mumbles, "thanks."
Solid! Mercan says, "Hi, this is Scott."
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Surrealism, it's not just for breakfast anymore."
Solid! Mercan silence.
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Um... hi, Scott. This is Erin."
Solid! Mercan says, "Oh..... Hey, Erin."
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Erin from Chia. I, um, am calling you... for no real reason, I think."
Solid! Mercan says, "Oh, that Erin. Uh. So... good to hear from you... how're things?"
I have achieved level 2! Greenstorm says, "Expensive. I really need a different long distance provider if I'm going to do this often. Um, and yourself?"
