[ no he's not he's your mother now, sit down and eat your dinner ]
Then perhaps it is worth trying again later, when time differences may be better? I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation why they aren't picking up the phone.
It's not just that, moron. A lot of people are having difficulties in reaching other people outside the city nowadays. Even if they're in the US or whatever.
[ weeps bitter tears. where did he go wrong? he tried so hard to be a good mama... ]
In Japan, yes. But neither of my parents were especially close to their parents. Or rather, if my mother has called home recently, I am not aware of it.
Oh, guess I misunderstood. But what a minute... Maybe you should make her try calling them? For all I know, this only affects the users of this app and not the ones who aren't on it.
[ He can hardly force his mother to phone her parents if she is too busy or uninclined to do so. But that isn't a bad idea... he could suggest it and see what the outcome was... ]
You believe this may be a deliberate handicap towards Retrospec users?
Once can be considered a coincidence. But twice seems less so, I would agree. Do we know if people unconnected to the app had issues with messaging the other month?

Stupid phone service... Or maybe Retrospec is at it again. Goddammit, I thought they've already fixed this issue...
no subject
Perhaps? I don't recall this error occurring with voice messages last time, but perhaps I was simply lucky.
You are trying to contact your mother?
[ unless, y'know. sena just has a thing for randomly calling people mama, in which case, whatever floats his boat. ]
no subject
Phone calls were fine, but a couple of months ago a lot of texts you'd send would go to the wrong person. It was really annoying.
But yeah, I've been trying to contact Mama for a while now. I didn't think the connection can get this bad in wherever they're staying right now.
no subject
Yes, I remember that. It was around the time I became aware of the app, and it was quite disorienting
Your family is abroad?
no subject
They sometimes work abroad, yes. Right now they're just working in a different state. Not sure where it is this time, though...
no subject
Oh, I see.
Perhaps they are in a different time zone at the moment, and that's why they aren't picking up?
no subject
No, I'm sure they would've at least told me if they're leaving the States... They're forgetful, yeah, but even I know they're not that stupid.
[ his own parents can't be that neglectful... right? ]

no subject
Really?
I haven't had to contact many people outside of the city recently, so I wouldn't know.
no subject
You don't have relatives or whatever here? Or in Japan, at least?
no subject
In Japan, yes. But neither of my parents were especially close to their parents.
Or rather, if my mother has called home recently, I am not aware of it.
no subject
So your mother doesn't live here either, huh...
[ was she in a hospital in a different city or ]
no subject
What? No, she lives here.
I am not aware if she has tried to phone family in Japan, however. Or if she has, whether it connected properly.

... I'm still not sure where your fans have come from? Are you a singer, perhaps?
[ Oh, and he's off. ]
Well, regardless. I hope you can contact your family soon.
