[ say no more, mary, he totally understands not trusting this stupid app.
because guess who's calling her first instead of waiting for mary to call him? he's a nice person and a good friend, ok, so he's audibly concerned when the line connects ]
Nothing's wrong, I just can't keep sending the wrong people bills. [ mary laughs, just a little, and settles back in her chair, like a tiny, terrifying mafia boss. ]
I'm wondering if you might be interested in a business opportunity.
[ there's an amused sound that sounds very vaguely like a snort; also, mary being a tiny, terrifying mafia boss definitely sounds about right. ]
I'd ask you to triple-check the recipients before sending, but I don't think that would be very helpful since I've done that and still gotten messages sent to the wrong person.
You know I'm always keen to hear about business opportunities. [ she can't see it, but his smirk is sharp and calculated. ] What are you proposing?
That's why I'm telling you. [ because there's no one mary can think of that could help her manage this load. now that lelouch is on retrospec, she's finally got a perfect confidant. ]
I'm running a little alcohol shop out of my dorm. I've been beating Chuuya Nakahara--he's the owner at the Inkwell--at every card game you can think of and having him bet me booze, then selling it to the freshmen. They're desperate, I don't pay for supplies, and I'm making a pretty good profit.
With the new year starting, I need to start expanding, but I can't keep track of all the sales by myself anymore. [ on her end, she hums, sitting back in her chair. ] I'll cut you some of the profits. Fair's fair.
[ this is the kind of message and the kind of thrill that he thrives on, in all honesty. so even through the phone, mary can probably hear the soft, contented noise that he's making, the soft tapping of his finger on his desk as he mulls over what mary is saying for all of like. thirty seconds. ]
Sounds fairly neat, I'm impressed, Madam President.
[ it definitely sounds a tad playful, before he snaps back to business, because well, that's his forte. ]
Did you even have to ask? You know I'm in. Who's going to keep you out of trouble if I don't? I assume you'll need for me to source out customers too, aside from the usual such as taking stock and the like.
