[Skulduggery, currently in the midst of the first kind bout of dissociation all day, gets halfway through his faux-automated message before he decides that Jade's request is sensible enough. It's perfectly reasonable to want an ETA. All good vacations have an end date, after all, and while this one is in a state of flux at the moment, he can at least estimate...
See? This is why he picked Jade in the first place: somebody ought to be sensible about things in his absence.]
AUTOMATED MESSAGE: The user you have contacted is currently on vacation and will return in a week. No. 2 weeks. If it happens again, 4 weeks.
You can talk to the captain as a primary source. Just don't play games with him. Actually, you can play games with him, just make sure you know what you're risking. (Helpful advice: he almost certainly always picks rock.)
[Automated messages as a concept don't exist where Jade's from--not in this particular sort of format, anyway. But the term is at least self-explanatory, which...makes the message actually attached to it that much more...well.]
You know, I wasn't aware these phones could automate responses with this sort of precision! Why, it's almost as if there's a person on the other end actually responding, or something! This fontech truly is something else.
[But, you know, anyway. The answer in itself considered. ...Two to four weeks, is it? Jade's opinion on this timeframe is promptly ranging from "Oh, so it's THAT bad" to "Well that's simply far too long"--not that he doesn't appreciate getting an ETA at all, but still. The line about the captain actually brings out an audible sigh aloud, though at least there's nobody near to hear it.]
I really don't have any interest in playing games with the captain whatsoever, I must confess...but the advice is appreciated, all the same. [Even if he has......no idea what 'picking rock' is even supposed to be referring to?? Another question to add to the list, really. But for now.] At any rate, do enjoy your vacation! ♥ May it be a long and relaxing reprieve, on these highly relaxing ship premises. Rest assured, I won't be actively seeking you out, so no need for concern there 😊😊😊
[Most unfortunately for Skulduggery, of course, that's basically an outright lie--though technicalities can be exploited in all sorts of ways. Singing and reading, hm.......?

It has been a little while since he last properly perused the library, now he thinks about it. Perhaps today is as good a day as any.]
