[Phone/Fax Machine]-Early Morning

[Being an old man, of course Shen Fujin owns a fax machine. But being an old man who at least tries to keep up with the times, it is a fax machine, phone and answering machine combo. It would probably be state of the art back if anyone but old people used faxes. Heck, it even prints in colour.

Trying to get the thing to stop printing sheets of pink is the trouble. In frustration, he eventually yells into the phone section.]

Stop wasting all of my ink, damn you!

[What is going on.]

Fax machines can get viruses? Aiyah...

[oh English...]

Someone there?

[Is this one of those "just got out of the shower and ready for some fun" instant messenger bots? Well, the username isn't something dumb like xoxohot4u1997 so she assumes it's not. The username is in Chinese though so she has no idea...]

...Who is this?

[It's very strange. The machine is now printing something like a type writer, one line at a tine instead of a sheet.]

[so far so good...]

Elle.

And how did you get this number?

This is an instant messenger???

[He has only a vauge idea of what that means!]

It's a fax machine!

[wow dude what are you on?]

No I'm pretty sure it's an instant messenger. You pinged me. In Chinese.

[A bunch of stuff for old man problems.]

I do not know how to use an 'instant messenger', I am using a fax machine!

Ok, you can call it that if you want. Is it a Windows or Mac fax machine? Are you running Ubuntu?

It says 'Inkjet' on the side.

Do you mean Intel?

My eyesight isn't that bad. Inkjet.

Weird. Maybe it's a new brand. I'm not tech support though.

Hmmph.

It's not new. I have had it for two years.

Maybe you should be chatting with someone who can help with that instead of me.

Grr-

[And snotty kids test his patience enough he hangs up.]
