[ Without even missing a beat; ] That works for me! As long as you've got the time to babysit my office a bit [ and sit down and take a little break while she's doing it ] you can do whatever you like afterwards.

[ She fishes her phone out of her pocket just to check the time and after sweeping away what looks to be an anxiety inducing amount of notifications, she flashes Jeanette a smile. ]

It's a little early, but do you mind me setting you up now? Then you'll have a little extra time to get used to the phone and find where everything is.

[darcangel]

I am at your service.

[ And she shall, indeed, watch what Ai does, follow her, and oblige in all things with great care. Focus, Jeanne. An important person in the Dreamer Union is entrusting you with a task! Do not...let....how to use the smartphone slide off your brain. Just because you do not see what everyone else finds so exciting about having a little glowing box in their hand all the time does not mean you CANNOT learn how to use the little glowing box.

Make your (decidedly more terminally online) little brother proud!! ]

[ And just as planned, Ai parks Jeanette in her office - you know, just in case anybody drops by with a message! - and entrusts her with the phone in the office as well, just to make sure she doesn't go wandering and looking for work elsewhere. Her nefarious plan is working. ]

There's plenty of snacks and drinks in the minifridge, so help yourself to those if you get hungry! I only have them here to give people who drop by the office anyway, so they'll need eating before the New Year break or they'll go bad...

[ And then, with basically no fanfare, she promptly hands over her work phone. ]

Here you go! Most calls are probably gonna come through the office phone but if it's something really big and important, they'll call me directly. You just have to say I'm not available and ask them to give you the message, okay?

[darcangel]

[ Oh. Oh she has the magic box now. Oh dear. ]

Yes. Um.....

[ Oh dear the magic box doesn't seem to have anywhere that says ANSWER THE PHONE HERE on its surface right now. She points at the smartphone, as if they could possibly be discussing anything else - but clarity is vital on the battlefield. ]

When it rings, will it....tell me how to answer it?

[liedol]

[ Still not missing a beat; ]

Yup! It'll come up with a little screen that says someone's calling. There's a green button and a red button, too. If you want to answer it, you just put your finger on the green button and...

[ She taps the phone screen and mimes swiping with her finger. ]

Like that! It'll answer the call and you can just start talking like normal.

[darcangel]

[ Green button, red button......That sounds....simple enough. Jeanne mimics the swipe motion in midair. ]

A swift strike. Understood.

[liedol]

Yup! That's all there is to it.

[ sh... should she warn jeanette not to Actually strike the phone? ... it's probably fine. ]

There'll be a little red button that you can use to hang up once you're done talking, too. Anything else you want me to go over?

[darcangel]

[ A moment to think, but.....all of Jeannette's worries are more "am I going to be up for this task?" and even a faint "is this truly the best use of my time?" (she is berating herself greatly for that - helping Ai is NEVER not a good idea!), so she shakes her head. ]

I shall take good notes. You will want for nothing!

[ Except maybe a clue what some of the words say! But she'll try! Really hard! ]
