[GODSFORRENT Special] Seven-Minute Semblance in Quarantine

Quarantine #20

[372A High Street:]

Arthur: (hums whilst doing paperworks)

Lance: (lifts every notebook on the table, looking for something)

Lance: (mutters) Did I leave it somewhere...

Lance: (lifts Arthur's papers and folders)

Arthur: (stops humming) Now I gotta ask. What is your problem?

Lance: I'm looking for my phone. I can hear it vibrating, somebody must've been calling.

Arthur: (lifts laptop and everything he's working on)

Lance: Where is it?

Arthur: (shakes laptop) Nope. Not here.

Lance: Stand up.

Arthur: I'm not sitting on your phone, idiot.

Lance: Staaaand up.

Arthur: So much trust has been broken looking for his phone. (stands up)

Lance: Now since you're standing up, please get some chips.

Arthur: ...

Lance: Kidding, I know you have a jar of sweets somewhere nearby.

Arthur: Can you still hear your phone vibrating?

Lance: No, the caller must've hung up. Whatever, maybe it's not that important.

Arthur: Okay.

Arthur: (starts humming again)

Lance: AAAAAHHHHH THEY'RE CALLING AGAIN, WHERE IS MY PHONE?

Arthur: Are they???

Lance: (squints)

Lance: It stopped.

Arthur: When you find your phone, teach that caller how to call properly.

After a while...

Arthur: (hums again)

Lance: (groans and slams forehead on book) I can hear the fucking phone vibrating again!

Arthur: (monotonously) AAAAAHHH.

Lance: You know what, I'll call the boys to help us search.

Arthur: (groans) I can't believe something's distracting me from this thesis and it's not Zweihänder or your stupid face.

Lance: You love this stupid face—oh wait, my phone's in my pocket.

Arthur:

Arthur: I will tear your ears off your head.

Lance: (checks phone) Nobody's called and it's not even on vibrate or silent mode.

Arthur: Then what are you hearing??? Please tell me I'm not dating a raving lunatic.

Lance: Between you and me, you're more likely to go crazy first.

Arthur: How can you say that?

Lance: I'm not Coronado Chronicles's adviser, honey.

Arthur: Well do something with that auditory hallucination you've been having.

Lance: Hallucination?

Arthur: Phantom Vibration Syndrome, I could not be more specific.

Lance: (squints) (mutters) Smartass.

Arthur: I heard you.

Lance: But you can't hear my phone vibrating?

Arthur: Because you're making such a racket looking for it!

Lance: Why are you yelling at me???

Arthur: Oh you'll know it when I'm yelling at you, mister.

Meanwhile, at the living room...

Edward: Bakit nagsisigawan si Sir Lance at Sir Arthur sa dining table?

Laevateinn: Arthur was humming and Lance thought it was his phone vibrating.

Edward: Is it?

Laevateinn: (imitates Arthur humming)

Edward: Huh. It does sound like a phone vibrating.

Futhark: Hindi ko akalaing mag-aaway sila dahil lang don.

Joyeuse: They're both idiots. They're meant for each other.
