[voice; posted with the journal 'thegoldenrule'] 'intro'

This really isn't helping anything.

[A woman begins talking; it sounds like Eva-Beatrice but it's older.]

Using a computer should increase profits, not decrease them. You put in minimal effort and get as much profit as you can. It's one of the basic formulas. After all, that's what drives invention. You can't carry something? You invent the wheel. Can't catch food? You invent the spear.

[She sighs.] But I digress. Would someone be so kind to help me with this issue? If only so that I don't have to call someone outside the company. It would be bad for our image, unfortunately.

[The post is edited with an additional voice message.]

I wasn't clear; I don't want to use this community. While there's no doubt there is some money to be made, I would rather use my computer to continue to manage my company. I'm sure you understand.

((OOC: All responses will be voice and with the fake account 'thegoldenrule', if I forget to mention it. Eva-Beatrice is trying to go under cover so feel free to try to call her out on it...try is the key word, here.))

I do not know if there is any way to use this community to derive any sort of monetary profit...

voice; thegoldenrule

[shinjaeba]

I suppose I wasn't clear.

[There's a small chuckle.]

I'm a business woman, if I can't use my computer then I can't work. Therefore, my time on my computer is useless.

[answerer_sword]

I see. The Network can indeed be...intrusive.

Re: voice; thegoldenrule

[shinjaeba]

Is there a way to work around it?

[ ...Huh. This is different. ]

Don't think you're gonna have much luck using this for a company or whatever, Eva.

[shinjaeba]

I'm not planning on it. I just want to use my--

[She stops.]

How do you know my name?

[second_star]

[ ...Wait, what? He definitely recognized her voice. This was Eva, no doubt about it. But... ]

...You're joking, right? [ Then again, this was the community after all. ]

[shinjaeba]

I would remember it if I did talk to you.

[....Even Eva Oba-san....?

Well, something seems off but he'll go with this.]

Oi oi, Oba-san! You're here to join the party?

voice;

[shinjaeba]

Battler-kun?

[She's not going video, not yet. If she can fool Battler, though... She can fool anyone. So she laughs.]

I'm not quite sure what party I'm joining. Can you fill Oba-san in a little?

voice;

[chestboard]

[It'll be hard to trick this game master, but even so...]

Well... you're apart of the community now it seems. Man, this place is letting more and more people in it seems.

voice;

[shinjaeba]

[Seeing as it was Maria who picked up on her disguise last time it might be easy but... She's trying harder this time.]

That's the name of the 'network', right? Is there anyone I know, other than you, here?

[entreats]

[ .... Out of all people who could find the community, it had to be the one who gives her the worst memories. It's why she can't even bring herself to use voice, honestly. Just answer neutrally, Ange, pretend you don't care. ]

It won't go away that easily.

voice;

[shinjaeba]

[Alright, now here's the difficult part. Just pretend that you don't recognize her, Eva-Beatrice. After all, if you're trying to pretend your Eva before the incident...]

That's going to be a problem.

[entreats]

Yeah, it probably is. Sucks to be you then.

[ Even now she can't bring herself to be fully polite to the woman, so there's instead some distant deadpan that she just uses on everyone. ]

[shinjaeba]

I suppose it does, doesn't it

[Right. Just keep calm.]

[Voice]

[smokepraylove]

It's a shame but it looks like nobody's invented a cure for the community yet, besides using the community.

[Voice]

[shinjaeba]

So it seems.

[Voice] Gah, sorry, this got lost in my inbox!

[smokepraylove]

Seems like you're forward thinking. It comes to you as a problem and already you're thinking past how to fix it and how to turn a profit?

[Voice]

[shinjaeba]

It'd be easy to focus on the problem but looking past it and trying to find a way to use it to your advantage, well. I'm a businesswoman at heart. What can I say?

[tenminutes]

[ The first time Yuri met Evatrice was during the college virus when Evatrice looked like Eva.. so she's a little questioning, but the account's different right? So it's probably the real one. Not like she could tell anyway. ]

If you call someone outside of the company, it'll probably just make you look like a nutjob.

[shinjaeba]

I'm starting to figure that out.

[tenminutes]

So what's your name? I swear I'll take it to my grave, so you don't have to worry about public relationships fiascos.

[shinjaeba]

Eva Ushiromiya. Thank you, I appreciate it.

[Damn it, ghost girl, she knows it's one of your bad jokes but she's playing dumb.]
