[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!

[This particular old man hadn't actually expected a reply. It was merely habit to yell at machines when they weren't working. Taken off guard, his response was a good a first impression as Robb's.]

...How did you get in my fax machine?

[He actually meant to ask 'how are you connected to my fax machine' but alas, it came out wrong.]

I'm not in your fax machine.

[Who even uses a fax machine these days?]

I know you are not in my fax machine.

[Oh man, he's mad at himself (and therefore Robb) for that misspoken line. Still, he gives a long sigh through his nose to try and calm himself.]

How did you get my number and why are you sending me so many pages of pink? This is a terrible April fools!

It's April Fools'? I hadn't noticed.

[No, really, he didn't.]

And I'm not sending you anything.

[There's a pause whilst Shen Fujin stares at his phone suspiciously. The printing stopped when he started talking so...]

...Then where is it coming from, and who are you?
