She rattles off the phone number.

Annie writes it down and pecks her girlfriend (?) and says, "Thanks!"

"You're welcome. We should get you your own phone."

"Maybe a slightly more legible one, if they have those."

"I bet we could figure something out."

"How much do these - flat phones vary?"

"Not by a whole lot, but I bet we could find a way to make it display relevant stuff as text instead of images."

"Cool. It's so different from phones at home. It has so many things on it and most of them are not phone related at all!"

"It's so true!"

"And it's so flat!" she giggles.

"That it is."

"On my world phones are built into headsets, so you don't have to hold them, and they're attached to the wall."

"Ooh, we have headsets but not for landlines."

"Why not, don't your arms get tired?"

"Not usually? Phones aren't that heavy."

"Huh. I wound up talking on this one by lying on my side with it resting on my ear."

"Huh. We can get you a headset if you want."

"It's probably not important unless I wind up spending a lot of time on the phone. I'm just not used to having to hold them is all."

"It's an interesting technological difference."

"There's probably tons of them. I should collect them and write up all the trivia for anyone who's curious about that sort of thing." Note note.

"Headsets are something we have, so it wouldn't be terribly useful to reverse-engineer, but it's an interesting bit of trivium," she agrees.

"Yeah, the useful stuff I will find some other more attention-getting distribution mechanism for."

"Magical girls often have or can acquire fairly easily a lot of public attention so Emily might be a good way of doing that."

"Why Emily and not you? Or me, for that matter, although I guess there could be an amount of time you have to be a magical girl for it to work."

"Because Emily's more likely to be interested in the actual reverse-engineering."
