No one's ever quite understood how terrifying phones are to this one v.v "Just pick up the phone" "I want to keep my lunch, though." "It's not that bad! Everyone hates phonecalls! Just call them and tell them [whatever]!" "No, I will literally be ill if I press that button." sigh
Edit: Kinda weird this got downvoted at all... guessing it's the bit of Khajiit-speak there but who knows. Somehow Riikka has gotten no downvotes on anything but the saddest thing she possibly could have, and can't get any comments or responses from anycritter in general. Bleh, Reddit all over again. Should probably go join Beehaw so at least the unexplained downvotes problem will be solved.
