[ Voice | Open ] Day 175
[ What comes on over the audio is nothing but noise at first. Someone or something is grappling with the communicator. Fingernails perhaps? There is also the incoherent shouting of a male voice that might be familiar to some, but with the way the audio receptors are being abused, it will be hard to make out many words at all. ]

—sto——reaking i——ut it out!

[ Most rustling and... was that a growl? Maybe the rush of air. ] —ere! Thank you. I think I can work this by myself.

[ The young man sighs, and there is one final bit of noise as he slip the device on over an ear. ] Okay. Is it on? I think it's on. This looks different.

[ He clears his throat and takes a deep breath. His attempt is to sound braver than he feels and certainly less seasick than he should be. ] Excuse me! Whoever can hear me, I'm... I'm looking for some friends! They're very important to me, so if there is anywhere I can ask about them, can you please point me the way? I think I saw a map? Maybe if I—

[ Click.

No, Ashton. That was not the right button. Way to fail. ]

	That's okay. Thanks for asking, anyway! [ He can't blame someone for not knowing things in this case. Ashton was just hoping someone might have a clue. ] Huh? You mean... a lot of people were captured at the same time? You, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anytime. Thought it was worth a shot. [ Darn. Oh well. ] Not exactly at the same time -- in batches, more like. A few days -- three, four -- then another batch of inmates are brought in. You're part of today's batch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ That's ... a jarring revelation. ] Wait a moment! You're saying that this happens that much? Just how many people have been captured like this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't know. [ Sighs. ] I don't really keep track, but there's always a bunch who come up on New Inmates Day -- not more than ten at a time, but there's the occasional flood like today. There's about a dozen of you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's kind of disturbing. It said... the one person said "Day 175". It's been going on that long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Reki notes the not-so-calm in the guy's voice. ] I think so, yeah. I arrived here Day 148. [ Less nonchalant, more sympathy in her own tone. ] It's gonna take some time for the idea to sink in. People are taken from different times, and places -- so a lot of us would not recognize names of people and places you're from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh... [ That's definitely a heavy idea. Thanks to Claude, Ashton is not entirely unfamiliar with the concept of other worlds. At least... ones that don't take after the fate of Energy Nede. ] I'll just have to keep trying! If they're here, I know I'll find them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cast_a_pebble 2012-07-18 04:33 am UTC (link)
	If it'll help, I'll keep an ear out for the names you mentioned earlier. [ And, well, better get to know whom to call for and who's calling, right? ] I'm Reki by the way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 04:37 am UTC (link)
	You will? Thank you! [ That makes him happy. ] I'm Ashton. Ashton Anchors. You might hear them ask for me, or even for my friends Gyoro and Ururun. It's generally difficult to miss sight of us, though, so if anything I hope they can find us soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cast_a_pebble 2012-07-18 04:53 am UTC (link)
	I'll do what I can. [ The smile's evident in her own voice ] Ashton... Gyoro and Ururun. [ The pause was for a moment of internal "Did he mention those two earlier?", followed by "Oh. Maybe he found some of his friends already." ] Got it. I guess I'll be seeing you guys around then. You have any more questions though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Such nice people! This isn't like any prison he's heard about, before. ] Um... [ There is a moment as he considers that, his own thoughtful hum echoed by two similar voices on his end. ] I think, for now, we're going to walk around. See what we can see. Maybe figure out this headpiece thing some more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cast_a_pebble 2012-07-18 03:06 pm UTC (link)
	Sure! -- Oh wait, hold on... [ insert directions on how to toggle the map. ] Just so you and your friends don't get lost, alright? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-18 07:26 pm UTC (link)
	Oh...okay, I see. Thank you, miss! I'll do my best to keep us on track. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ -- maybe she was just looking into the voices too much. ] You're welcome, Ashton. You take care. [ And if there are objections, Reki will be hanging up~ ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
