==Personality==
Hostile to practitioners and more than willing to kill them.
===Relationships===
Asked [[Avery]] to keep [[Milly Legendre]] imprisoned and prevent her from ever being able to [[Binding|bind]] again.<ref>“Don’t let her out.  Ensure she can never bind again.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10/wild-abandon-18-8/ Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref> After Milly got free it turned hostile towards her.
==Appearance==
It uses the bodies of it's victims to speaks, sounding like an old recording of a tape player.<ref name=":0">A man stood at the very edges of her vision, arms and legs limp and dangling.  Feet not touching the ground.<br><br>“Heya,” Avery said.  “Are you the local Lord?”<br><br>The response sounded like it played from an old tape player, pre-recorded and degraded.  “I am.”<br><br>The voice didn’t come from the man, but from something behind him.  Something black and covered in wires.  Big.  The line between it and the surrounding walls and wires was hard to make out.  Nothing glowed or shone, or caught any particular light.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref> It's real form is unknown but is covered in a mass of electrical wires.<ref name=":0" />
==Abilities==
It's able to manifest a ringing pay phone, once answered it transports it's victims into it's own pocket [[realm]].<ref>She wasn’t even halfway from the gas pump to the little gas station convenience store when a pay phone off to the side started to ring.<br>[...]<br>Avery picked up.<br><br>The world went dark, and a low buzz filled the air.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref> The floor of it's realm is covered in the still-living bodies of it's victims, with thier ears cut off and a glowing light emanating from behind their eyes.<ref>They’d been altered.  Their eyes were lit by some faint light from within- not enough to illuminate or read by, but enough that she could see each open set of eyes as her eyes adjusted.<br><br>And their ears had been cut off.  Some still bled, others looked red and raw, with only trickles, or beads of bright red standing out red in the light-flickers, against backdrops of clotted scab and skin painted with beads and smears of it.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref>

The area of the Dropped Call's realm covered in electrical wiring and flashes of lightning, their is also a row of large air conditioning units and a couple of pay phones.<ref>It was a row of air conditioner units, like ones from a big building.  fans on the top of each, some with wire guards, some without, were all spinning away, humming and squeaking, joining their noises to the dull buzz.  The knocking came from a shoe on one fan with a partial guard, that lifted up every time the blade passed, then banged against metal on the way down.<br><br>There were three different pay phones here, planted in the sea of bodies, two of the three standing at a slant.  The third had been slammed down someone’s throat, splitting it at the sides before disappearing into the general neck area and torso- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref>

Avery suspected it was based of [[Technomancy]] and either the [[Abyss]] or [[Ruins]].<ref>Technomancy wasn’t usually a realm that really stuck and held.  Technologies, especially communication technologies, had a way of coming and going.  That meant it usually had to latch onto another realm for any staying power, and both the Abyss and the Ruins were good candidates.  The memories and impressions of technology and the troves of old tech that were left for the earth to swallow up could all support those things.<br><br>
This felt like it was in that direction.  The Lord here could’ve been an Other that bridged that gap.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/05/10 Excerpt] from [[Wild Abandon 18.8]]</ref>

== Chronology ==
Gained an apprentice, or servant, among the [[St. Victor's practitioners]].

Months later it attempted to corner [[Avery]] and her [[Connor Kelly|dad]] after she failed to answer it's call whilst driving through.<ref>- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/06/04/crossed-with-silver-19-3/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.3]]</ref>{{Reflist}}
