This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Alright. So, while we're all having fun on here, we might as well indulge in another pointless yet amusing game. The only answering machine we heard in the show was Ruka. And that was pretty damn bland. So it's left to our imaginations what the rest of the cast's (and Ruka's more exciting version) may be. Post your speculations here.
Akio: Hello. This is the End of the World automated system. Please press the button that best fits how I may help you. 1) You are an emotionally troubled teenager who is in need of my guidance. With a firm hand and an interest in your troubles, I will be sure to assist your needs. 2) You are a member of the Student Council and hoping to persuade me to reschedule your duel. I will require an oral explanation of why I should consider this. 3) You have a complaint regarding my administrative tactics. If so, please file an official complaint, and I will use it forcefully to fill this hole in your needs. Your satisfaction is guaranteed. 4) You're horny. Please leave a long detailed message. And finally, if you're Utena, don't bother leaving a message. I will have already anticipated your concerns and plotted my solution. Wait for me and wear that nice thing I bought you. *BEEP*
Miki: Hi there. You've reached Miki Kaoru. I'm a sorry little pussy who can't take up a hint and give a woman the satisfaction she needs. Also, I have a crush on a stupid creepy freak with bad hair. Why am I such a sorry lazy ass who can't see the good stuff right in front of me? Leave me a message and tell me what you think. (In the background: Hey Kozue, I just made you a milkshake! What are you doing back there) None of your goddamn business, pencil crotch. *BEEP*
Saionji: How do you work this contraption? There are all these buttons. Touga was able to figure it out. Why can't I? Foolish device. How dare it resist me! If I cannot persuade it to obey me, then I must resort to force! You made me do this, devil's machine! (smashing sounds) *BEEP*
Touga: Do I light the fire in your pants? Of course I do. But it doesn't really matter, since I'm not picking up the phone. Oh, I'm here. I can vaguely hear your voice as enjoy my time with this bevy of beauties. But it's like the droning of a particularly annoying gnat in the background. Tell you what. You come over to my place sometime and bring some of your friends, maybe I'll pay you a second of individual attention as I enjoy the lot of you vying for my favor. Sure, it will be degrading, but you'll be here anyway. See you in seconds. *BEEP*
Juri: This is Juri, and I'll only listen to your messages if you're A) a short, violet-haired girl with an inferiority complex or B) you're willing to give me jewelry for free. If these two things don't apply to you, please do me a favor and hang up the damn phone. *BEEP*
Ruka: (COUGH COUGH HACK HACK HACK HACK HACK WHEEEEZE COUGH COUGH COUGH COUGH GROANING SOUND COUGH CHOKING SOUND HACK HACK HACK SOUND OF BEING SLAPPED IN THE FACE WHEEZE HACK COUGH) OH GOD JURI NOT IN THERE! NOOOOOOOO! *BEEP*

Ahh, Ruka.

Saionji: "Hello. You have reached me, but I am obviously not here right now. Just leave a stupid message if you really want to. I don't care. .....How did you get this number anyway? You certainly didn't get it from me. I suppose it doesn't really matter....JUST DON'T CALL HERE AGAIN!!! If you're someone trying to ask me out on a date, the answer is hell no. If you're someone from the Kendo Club with a question, grow some balls and ask me in person, damn it. Fucking cowards. If this is Touga....damn it, just come over... OH! And if this is one of Touga's sluts wondering where your master is... CALL HIM, DAMN YOU!! HE DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME!!! I AM NOT HIS FUCKING KEEPER!!!! GOODBYE!!!" *harsh click, beep*

"Moshi Mushi! Haa haa I fooled ya, You're talking to a machine, I am out at the moment, most likely on some errand for my Nanami-sama or at least keeping a close eye on her, so leave a message and if it doesn't disrupt my dealings with Nanami-sama, I will get back to you." :Tsuwabuki:
Offline
Tsuwabuki is Sarah Connor?
Offline
The beginning of his greeting is pretty much identical to Sarah Connor's greeting on her answering machine in the first Terminator movie.
Offline
Nanami: Hello, this is Kiryuu manor, Nanami Kiryuu is not in here, probably stalking her brother, and destroying all the vermin that swarm around him. If you're not her Onii-sama, you don't need to leave a message - she won't call back.

Juri:

She says Mushi Mushi? I gotta watch the original Terminator for myself then, I have only seen T2 and T3.

Anthy: "I am the Rose Bride. From this moment onward, I am unable to answer the phone. Please leave a message after the slap."
Utena: "Hi, you've reached Utena Tenjou. I've gotten so many calls that I had to set up an automated voicemail account. Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, if you're calling to profess your unrequited love to me, press 1. If you're calling to profess your unrequited love to Anthy, press 2. If you need me to rush to your rescue or solve all your problems, press 3. If you're challening me to a secret duel, just leave a note in my locker. If you're the chairman of Ohtori Academy, I'm on my way over."

Wakaba: "Hello, you have reached the home away from home for the most wonderful Onion Princess to have ever appeared on this fabulous place we call the world, so if you are tall green and moody or not so tall, pink and princely leave a message, if you are neither one of those, leave a message anyway cos that’s the sort of gal I am!”

"And finally, if you're Utena, don't bother leaving a message. I will have already anticipated your concerns and plotted my solution. Wait for me and wear that nice thing I bought you. *BEEP*"
oh my god. I love it.
Edit: I bet that answering machine also came in between Saionji's love for Anthy. Y'know, along with Touga, Utena, Chu-Chu, coffins, school expulsion, and, most likely, erectile dysfunction.

Oh, god. If possible dates who don't know what a loser I am yet weren't calling, I would make this my new voicemail.

Nanami's voice: "Hello this is my Big Brother's private phone, if you are hearing this, he isn't able to answer the phone right now...*you can just make out her muttering on about how her big brother is wasting his time with those floosies when he could be spending more time with her* but if you leave a name and message, he will get back to you as soon as he can... unless you are one of those stupid hussies who keeps bothering my precious Big Brother, then YOU CAN GO TO HELL!... Ok, you can leave a message after the beep and have a nice day!"

Touga: This is Kiryuu Touga. I'm probably in the middle of something wonderful, but if there are four or fewer women in my bed right now, then I just don't feel like talking to you. Leave a message just in case.
Offline
Do you suppose the student council has a phone up in the tower?
"If the chick doesn't leave a message after the beep, it will hang up without ever singing its song. You are the chick; the world is your answering machine. Sing your song, for the revolution of the world!"

Chu-chu: "Chu? Chu-chu-chu-chu! Chu-chu. Chuuuuuuuuu~ *BEEP*"

*BEEP*

Akio: Quiet, you two. Go back to giving Daddy a good show.

Shadow Girls:
A-ko and B-ko: Do you know? Do you know? Do you know we're not here?
B-ko: When you call a loved one, and they're not there...
A-ko: You can only hope they will get your message!
B-ko: "Could you pick up some bread and eggs on the way home?"
A-ko: "Why don't you ever call anymore, honey?"
B-ko: "I need you to take me to the hospital, I've just-- auugh!" The message you send to your loved one...
A-ko: ... is the one you'll leave after the beep!
