Meg and Seron

Volume 6 Prologue: Something Big

-----

<It’s been a while, SC Jenny. >

<It sure has, newbie. Or I guess I can’t call you that any more. Want me to call you by name?>

<It’s all right. >

<You’re calling from Raputoa, right? Should I call you back?>

<Yes, please. Oh, but I wanted to ask you something quickly. >

<Mhm. >

<Did my letter reach SC Megmica? What happened afterwards?>

<Things are turning out as I expected, more or less. >

<What happened?>

<Something big. >

<…>

<…>

<Gimme your number. I’ll call back and fill you in on the details. >

<Hello? Newbie, are you busy today? It’s gonna be a really long story. Don’t worry about the phone bill, though. I’ve got it covered. >

<No, I have time. Thank you. >

<Where are you?>

<Where are you?>

<The school parlor. The teachers gave me permission to use the phone here so I could ‘talk to someone from the Capital District I’m deeply indebted to’. There’s no one around. >

<Good. I’m glad you’re quick on the uptake. By any chance, did you come to school on a weekend just to ask me this stuff? I feel kind of bad now. >

<Don’t worry, SC Jenny! I’m just curious to see what happened with SC Seron and SC Megmica. What did you mean by ‘something big’? Please tell me everything!>

<Sure thing. You have the right and duty to hear it all. >
