[ 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. ]

	I don't know, but you'd be surprised how many people do. That's about how it is for everyone else here. Defense Force used to be allowed something for defense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Defense force"? What do you mean? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It was a group of inmates who had to approved and they were there to protect other inmates. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...wait, something like that was necessary? It sounds like they had a good idea but, prisons aren't supposed to be dangerous, are they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-19 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	...They aren't? I'd think they were considering the nature of the people confined there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Oh that's not alarming at all. Except it totally is! ] It sounds like I need to be really careful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-19 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	Most people here are just fine. There always some who you have watch out for. Otherwise there wouldn't have been a need for a Defense Force. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You keep saying that in the past tense. [ And it's making him nervous... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-20 12:26 am UTC (link)
	[~~mwahahahaha~~] Because this isn't the same dome we were in before. At most people have been here for a day now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-20 12:46 am UTC (link)
	That... doesn't ... —why wouldn't they keep something like that active? Is this prison safer than the other? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-20 01:27 am UTC (link)
	Who knows? They have their own reasons for what they do. But this one is quite a bit different (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-21 03:33 pm UTC (link)
	Really? Huh. [ Ashton considers this. ] That's a scary thought. What if my friends are in the old prison? Or even another one? How many can there be? And where? [ He's just sort of talking through this; not just for his own benefit. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-21 04:35 pm UTC (link)
	We don't know if others are left at the old one and we thought there was only one until we ended up here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-21 11:46 pm UTC (link)
	[ Another thoughtful hum. This time the dragons grumble a little louder in the background, unseen. ] Right, right, I get it. I guess that doesn't matter. I should still go look for them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-22 01:31 am UTC (link)
	Yes, that would be a good idea. You'd probably hear from them at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-22 03:58 am UTC (link)
	I hope so! I know they can handle themselves, but I'd still feel a lot better with them around. [ Ashton did not go through all that trouble alongside his new friends just to lose them! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-22 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Seems to be how most people feel around here. They'd rather have someone else that they know around. [Not that he blames them, but merely an observation] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-23 12:45 am UTC (link)
	That's the best way to handle any unknown situation — with friends at my side! Thank you for the information so far. If I've got any other questions, I'll... [ Grumbling in the background. ] We'll call. [ He'll hopefully be able to figure out the device before such a need arises. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	guesstheskittle 2012-07-23 01:49 am UTC (link)
	I do what I can to help. If you have any more, feel free to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	watch_my_back 2012-07-23 02:06 am UTC (link)
	I'll do that! Goodbye for now. [ And then Ashton fumbles around for a moment until he figures out how to end the call. ....without getting the man's name. Smooth. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
