Orie slowly begins to stand up off the ground, noting the strange look that Darcy gave them, feeling of panic flaring up in their chest. Oh no, did the other think they were weird or something? Did they have something on their face? It was only when Darcy began to smile though that Orie felt better about the situation to a small degree, trying to shake those thoughts out of their head as to focus. They then felt a sense of dread wash over them at hearing Darcy ask if they had tried ringing it, watching as the comedian pulled out her own phone⌠And asked for their number. This stranger was asking for their number and Orie could feel the unease building up in them, their stomach queasy. Darcy had been nice enough to offer help and didnât seem like a bad person.. Though Orie had a hard time trusting others. Orie took a few deep breathes and worked through their seemingly irrational fear that if Darcy had their number, something bad would happen, wringing at their dress. âM⌠My number⌠Um, itâsâŚ81-906-594-6576. T-Thank you, really⌠I need it for work, so I c⌠Canât exactly get a new one. My nameâs Orie, if.. If you wanted to know.âÂ
Darcy gave her a grin and began to tap away at her phone, reciting the number to herself in a mumble. âSix, five, seven....six!â She put the phone up to her ear out of habit, only realizing a second after that no one would answer since the other had just lost it, chuckling at her own silliness. âAlright, letâs see if we can hear anything...â
...
Thereâs a faint ringing.
âWouldâya look at that! Itâs still nearby.â She held onto her own phone just in case she needed to dial it again. âIâm Darcy! The pleasureâs all mine, Oreo-- shit, Orie. My bad.â The comedienne crouched down towards where the ringing was coming from...it was low to the ground, that was for sure.
âThat was probably just mâstomach talking, sorry!â
