	Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 12:34 am UTC (link)
	[Not looking at the phone, and assuming it's a return call.] Yeah? Where do you want me to meet you for the pickup? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 12:53 am UTC (link)
	[...] Pickup? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 01:01 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] Yeaaaah, you're not Clarissa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Not Clarissa. [...] Loren Chapel. [He waits to see how that registers before he continues.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 04:51 am UTC (link)
	[A very long pause is how it registers.] Yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 04:53 am UTC (link)
	[He clears his throat, as if unsure of how to proceed.] Thank you for.. for what you sent. [Quickly.] But I'm calling you for another reason. About what you told me about the hotel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 05:00 am UTC (link)
	[Warily.] Seriously? You're not somewhere flipping the fuck out about it? [And then, after a loooong pause that involves pill swallowing.] What of it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 05:02 am UTC (link)
	I've.. read some of it. [Too calm, detached, shock.] You said he had a distinct voice, would you recognize it if you heard it again? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 05:41 am UTC (link)
	And? [Another pause.] Fuck, yeah, but that doesn't mean I want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 05:56 am UTC (link)
	And.. I'm everything you said.. and worse. [There's a rough sound, half cough and half sniff as he settles.] I'm going to call you tonight, say nothing on the phone. You listen, nothing else. End the call when you are certain, but not before, and send me a text message of yes or no.. if it's him, understand me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 05:59 am UTC (link)
	No. You were. Doesn't need to be the fucking case now. [Long fucking pause.] Yeah. Ok. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 06:03 am UTC (link)
	[Pause.] Expect a call between seven and eight tonight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 06:14 am UTC (link)
	I don't have to be fucking sober, do I? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 06:18 am UTC (link)
	As long as you don't speak or cry or expose the element of surprise, I don't care what you do. If you have a problem with this let me know now, I don't want to hear you crying later. [It's all cold, robotic. Then a beat of silence.] Sorry, just.. whatever it takes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren littleingenue 2012-07-05 06:19 am UTC (link)
	I don't fucking cry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Call: Sam/Loren skelterhelter 2012-07-05 06:22 am UTC (link)
	[There's a long pause, obvious that he wants to say something else but can't.] .. Alright. [Then click.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[The call is muffled, until finally voices come clear. Loren first.]

".. but it's probably for the best in my situation." [...] "We never got along."

[And then, after a moment, undoubtedly Irish.]

"It’s sad that you and them don’t get along, but sometimes, that’s simply how it falls. I think I’m rather lucky that I am as close as I am to my parents, but I know that’s not everyone’s situation."

	[Luckily, she has the phone muted, so there's not even a gasp from her end of the line. She stays on, wanting to be absolutely sure, and needing to hear a little more.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[There is some shuffling as the phone is readjusted, making the sound a bit clearer even if there is something distant and almost chaotic in the background, like a low-volume television set. Loren speaks again.] "How's that panning out for you? Sounds like a pretty good hand to me." [...] "The support of your family, a therapist, some.." [...] ".. pretty decent beer, what else do you need to cheers to?"

[The Irish returns.] "I wouldn’t call it a good hand." [...] "My family is halfway across the world, I fear. We’re close, but we hardly talk now that I’ve moved. They were simply glad that I saw my way out of the house again after the accident."

[Loren's voice is almost smiling.] "Things could always be worse." [Suddenly, the chaotic background noise is gone.] "I mean, we could be stuck in the heads of our people on the other side.."
