[There is the sound of shuffling around then a gasp of breath before a very young sounding voice calls out, hesitantly.]

Mommy? Where are you? What's this place? Hello? Mommy?

[There's some more shuffling then the voice - a bit muffled due to the distance from the PDA - begins to grow louder and much more frantic sounding. There's some banging, then pounding, then the sound of wood starting to splinter.]

MOMMY! HELP! SOMEBODY'S GOT ME IN A ROOM AND THE DOOR'S TOO BIG AND I CAN'T GET OUT! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!

[Suddenly, there's a creaking of a door opening and the screaming stops. For a moment, there's nothing but silence, then another voice - this one slightly older - speaks.]

Who're you? [a pause and, before the younger girl can answer, the older one suddenly yells]

MOMMY! DADDY! YOU BOTH PROMISED THERE WON'T BE NO MORE LITTLE GIRL BABIES HERE AND THERE'S ONE RIGHT NOW!

[There's footsteps echoing quickly down the hallway, growing closer, and the screaming stops abruptly at the sound of Claire's sharp tone, still thick with sleep.]

Meredith Noa Winchester, what in the world are you doing? Do you have any idea what time it is? So help me, get your- [a pause and a gasp] Holy... honey? Um... honey, it's okay. Don't cry. What's your name? Are you okay?

[There's a soft sniffle then the younger girl speaks]

My name's Emma and I want my mommy! [more sniffling]

[A long pause follows before Claire suddenly exhales sharply. At first, she's merely muttering.] Oh, for the love of Emmy... [Her voice gets louder, definitely no longer half-asleep.]

Dean! Get in here! NOW! We have a problem...

I'm about to get my ass banished me to hell by Lilith one minute, and the next I'm here, in some apartment, with some whiny little brat who's demanding to know what I did with his mommy?

What the actual fuck is this?

Ok, someone had better start talking right now, because I am so not in the mood for any of this! I have to kill something I need to do. So, someone had better tell me where I am and what's going on and how to get back to Forks.

Interesting. No illusionist would take the time to craft such an extensive and contradictory environment.

Also, anyone who happens to be in the Xavier School at the moment, I think I might have broken Charles, if you wish to come try and fix him.

Wha- [ there's a long pause after the first noise before a throat is cleared and a voice tinged with a Serbian voice speaks up. ] Miss. Excuse me, miss? I believe you may have found yourself in the wrong room. Or... [ pause ]

I have. This is not the Univerzitet.

[Katherine sounds extremely confused.]

...What is this place? Who brought me here? I was just walking in the garden with Elijah...

[She can heard shuffling around, tripping over her surroundings]

I must get back.

[ooc: Katerina Petrova folks, before she got turned into a vampire.]

Where the hell am I and what the hell is going on here?

I probably should find Bruce he would know what's up here.

( John sounds very confused )

What in God's name...

( a pause )

Helen? ( a short pause ) James?

( a sigh )

I would settle for Nikola if it might bring about an end to this blasted confusion.

[Spike sounds very confused and very unlike himself]

What is this place? I must return home at once. Mother will surely be worried when she realizes I'm not there.

...I swear, I warn't that drunk last night. I don't even like t'drink, so how...

[sounds of rustling fabric, as if the phone is being sat upon, & the message cuts out]

Would anyone care to explain what, exactly, is going on? There are a lot of very odd things in this house including one Dominick Cobb, and coupled with the posts on this network, I think there's a story I need to hear.



[OoC: have Eames, taken from the day Cobb meets up with him in Mombasa]

[Quiet sounds of someone checking out all the drawers and cupboards in a room can be heard, and soft mutterings that can't quite be made out, and then the PDA is lifted up and examined]

And what manner of device is this, I wonder.

[The PDA is then tapped a few times and shook about, before being replaced on whatever surface it had been sitting on. The next words are quieter, but still quite distinct]

Are these school books? With my name on them?

...What in Aslan's name is going on?

My boyfriend is a teenager. A teenager who I just caught going through my underwear drawer. This is so weird.

Mommy? Daddy? Jake? Anybody?

I woke up in woods I don't know and I don't think this is Forks and I really need to find my familie family. Can somebody help me, please?

[There's the sound of a whimper and then a dull thud of something hitting the ground]

Disappointing....not as much fight as the last one. I do prefer when they scream.

[Another rustling sound, heavy footsteps, and the sound of distant traffic]

Perhaps I should leave a trail for Darla to follow.



[OOC: And Angel has reverted back to Angelus, not long after Darla first turned him]
