Nick, |

Nick – I don’t know if you’ll get this, or if you’re here. Wherever here is. I don’t really know where I am, but if it’s a trap from the Circle, it’s - [freaking me out a little. a lot.] - very bright. If you get this message, call back. Or come. [Help. Please. ]

voicemail ⇨ alan ryves;

Alan, are you here – [a pause; it’s maybe too soon to put all her trust in this one person again, but what choices does she have. gather up your army to get out of trouble, or become it.] If you are, we should probably… Yeah, we should probably meet up. United we stand, you know? [learn the phrase already.] Then maybe we’ll have a shot of getting out of…whatever this is. And maybe you can tell me what it is. Spare no details. Go nuts. Just…answer, if you’re here.

Jami-

Ninj-

…sailor, we need codenames. Just in case. I – honestly, I hope to god you’re not here, whatever this is. It’s loud and shiny and you’d probably love every corner of the place, but it spooks me off. Like a bad Market. Except I don’t know if there’s a good Market, and there should be, in order for there to be a bad one, right? I’m babbling. Nevermind – if you’re here, and as long as it doesn’t get you into trouble…please answer.

voice; public

…er, hi. They gave me this mobile phone thingy, which I’m supposing is how everyone communicates around here.

Let me just start by addressing the issue of that ’here’, shall I? What is this place, exactly? Some illusion? A bad dream? A nightmare? Because, let me tell you, I’ve ways of escaping all those. And don’t let the hair colour fool you. [pause, for effect. Or maybe just to recompose herself. because what else is there that she can say? as much as she’d want to, calling out the magicians on her own would be One Huge Mistake, so if this is their doing, she’ll have to be smart and figure it out. and if it isn’t, if this isn’t magic - though what else could it be? – then she needs to not make enemies so fast.

and mamma didn’t raise no fool, so.]
…thanks.

[... okay, so the curse was a couple of days ago and Mae is here. Again.

...

Jamie's brilliant skills of deduction manage to deduce that means she is probably here to stay, this time. Sweet.]

I'm here.

Hey, why am I sailor and not ninja? And can I call you baby bat? For old time's sake. It means we can reserve blueberry scone for Nick. [And Alan can be... psychotic knife person. Or something.

These are the most important issues, obviously! Still, Jamie has the sense to send:]
Where are you?

Sailor somehow suits you better than being a ninja. The adventures, the lads...[the being away from your family.]

I'm trying to figure out where I am.


Baby bat - I'll do it for the pleasure of calling Nick that.

... Sailor it is. As long as I get to be a sometimes sneaky sailor.

[There's a slight delay with the next reply.] Okay, what do you see around you? Trees? Buildings? A carousel that belongs in a horror film about mutant horses taking over the planet?

A carousel.


Jamie - what is this?

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-08 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't feel like a dream or an illusion, and I don't think...do you think anyone could do this sort of thing? That we know?

This place is called the City. Just the City. It's very original, as you can see. People call it an alternate dimension. I know it sounds crazy, mainly because it is crazy.

I don't think Gerald could have pulled off something like this. [And... neither could Jamie. For that matter.] And Nick probably isn't imaginative enough. No offence to him, of course, but I know he never finished reading Pride and Prejudice.

... Alan's here too, though. He's better at explaining. Which isn't very surprising, since Alan is the one who actually likes reading.

But I have a guide! I've found it very helpful. Also very terrifying. But the helpful part is good. [And ding! Mae will receive a link to this. Aren't you proud, Mae, Jamie has figured out how to use technology.]

Oh, hey - you sent it. Not that I don't like a good and solid explanation every now and then but I'd rather hear crazy from your mouth than from a book. It's...more attractive.

[He will just stare at you for a moment and then screw with you.]

A shame. And that could have been your way home.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose I'll have to improvise, now.

[identity profile] idmakeitaweek.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Improvisation is occasionally the precursor for genius.

It can also be the precursor for stupidity. Difficult line to walk.

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-16 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Walking on the edge - not something I'm keen on, but lately I just can't seem to stop.

Even before coming to the City?

voice; ... /sob, the latest.

[identity profile] veritaphobia.livejournal.com 2011-03-09 05:09 am (UTC)(link)


Well--you got some of it. Can you tell me where you are? I shouldn't be too far away. And I think this is probably better explained in person.

voice; i'll pretend this happened three days ago

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-09 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, good - you are here.

Jamie called it a carousel from a horror movie...you could meet us there. We'll have a party - not a panic party. Hopefully.

voice; we are the best time-travellers.

[identity profile] veritaphobia.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
I thought that might be it.



You can calm down. We're not in any immediate danger. I know it's--probably not on your list of places to be, but it's safe.

voice; no-one's like us for sure

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Safe...[it sounds like an empty word right now. but - Jamie's here. Jamie's here, not with the Circle, but with Alan, so. it might just be true.]

Alright. I'll just calm down then.

voice;

[identity profile] veritaphobia.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad. I'd hate to think you were starting a party without me.

voice;

[identity profile] brobeforehos.livejournal.com 2011-03-10 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I would never do that - you need to be there. Life of the party that you are.
