[She did promise she'd call him, once she was back to herself. Only she hadn't returned to her proper self, thanks to Henry's panic attack with the scissors. So it takes a bit longer for Lust to be ready to show herself over video.]
[But she'd promised.]
Mr. Dandy?
I hope this is the right contact number.... we spoke when you first arrived. I'm Lust.
[Lust just manages to catch Dandy in the middle of a nap, having just finished his shift from the HORRIBLE, UNFAIR job he was suckered into. It means he's thrown himself into a weird position, limbs sprawled out in ways that wouldn't be comfortable for a normal person, pants just barely hanging onto his ankles.
It's not dignified by any means and he'd probably sleep through it if she didn't say her name.
The secret hot chick called him back!! That's definitely worth the effort of waking up, time to see if she's the cutie he imagined her as. ...If only he didn't leave his gear on the desk across the room!!]
Dammit-- Martini!! Grab the phone, would ya?!
[Dandy's deino is curled up in a corner, lifting her head when her trainer calls her. With a peppy tail wag, she gets up and...headbutts the desk, causing both the gear and the video to tumble onto the floor. Thankfully it lands in a position that doesn't block the feed.
And of course, Dandy tumbles in unison, getting caught in the trap that is his own pants and hanging off the side of his bed with absolutely zero grace. He stares into the feed like a deer caught in headlights, not sure where he went wrong. This...this could've gone better for him.]
[He does NOT like those implications. Scrambling now, Dandy wiggles about, trying desperately to not only right himself back up, but also pull up his pants. Just ANYTHING to look more presentable.]
Son of a-- No! No, no, I wasn't doing anything, I just...got off my stupid job--!!
[He reaches for his gear, but Martini manages to scoop it up and begins running around with it. What a fun new game she just invented: Annoy Dandy.]
[The sounds of the most fierce game of tug-of-war can be heard as Dandy struggles for control. This is not how he was hoping this conversation would go.]
Yeah, alright, lemme just whip out the thousands of chew toys I got lying around!!
[Dandy lets go of his gear for the time being, scrambling for...what did she say? A coaster? Sure, he knows where a coaster is. He sits on the floor with it, not that it can really be seen, but his acting sure can be heard.]
Oh man, I sure do love this fucking coaster. [He feels like an idiot. Martini can't even see...] Martini...?
[The deino has stopped to ponder what her trainer is doing at least, it's evident by how the feed stops moving around and a glimpse of Dandy can be seen from whatever space her mouth will allow.
She pauses.
And then, movement.
...In the other direction.]
GOD DAMN IT!! [Dandy sounds absolutely horrified in the background.] Why'd I leave the door open?!
[Honestly, it's a pleasant distraction over what Henry had done to her hair. As clearly Dandy is going to have difficulty with regaining his 'gear, Lust takes a moment to summon Amoz the Houndoom, her most authoritative Pokemon.]
Amoz, would you please ask Martini to return the device to her trainer? Perhaps you'll have better luck.
[And hopefully hearing her name will direct Martini's attention to the 'gear screen.]
[The feed does look like it's finally staying put, but it's still very much in a mouth. A snuffly sound can be heard from Martini's nose as she finally tosses the gear to the floor, absolutely no care given for its safety. She can't really see the screen, but she's definitely paying attention at least.
Which would make you think that the way Dandy tries to tackle her from behind would be successful, but she manages to duck just in time for her trainer to fly right over her.
[Lust never thought she'd encounter a Deino more troublesome than Mad. She simply shakes her head and reaches for her nail polish, letting Amoz handle this.]
[The shiny Houndoom is more than happy to fill the gear screen with his face, and pass along the request. Behave, little one. My trainer wishes to speak with yours. Perhaps you will be rewarded if you allow it.]
[Behave? Little one?! Martini's cheeks puff up as her fur bristles, looks like she's incredibly sensitive about her size. Who does this guy think he is, trying to boss her around anyway?! With absolutely no respect, she sticks out her tongue and blows a raspberry, all before Dandy finally swipes the 'gear and wipes the dragon spit off of it.
Her pride was her downfall.]
HA! Who's laughing now?! [Dandy pants a little, smiling like a maniac.] S-So then, where were we~?
[Did they even start a conversation? Dandy can barely remember.]

MARTINI, QUIT IT!! I need this call!!
no subject
It's alright, just give her something else to play with. Act like you're much more interested in something else, she'll switch to that.
My Chanteuse is the same way.

I do believe we were just saying hello.
