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.

…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.

Can't I be promoted to second-in-command?

[Pleeeease? Otherwise there will be a mutiny. A ninja mutiny.]

Maybe...[That was a yes. With Mea as the leader, it'd be nepotism all the way, sadly. She bumps his shoulder with hers.] After all, you've been here for a while...

And I've had no one but Alan for company. You should make it up to me. [Not that Alan is that bad, usually. In fact, most of the time, Jamie doesn't mind him at all-- except for the part where he lies and Jamie's never sure if he's telling the truth.

But still.]

Yes, yes, you poor unfortunate soul. [She grins now, but she can figure out why Jamie'd be uncomfortable around Alan - beyond the knives and the Ryveness - the whole precarious relationship Alan has with telling the truth...

But she'd rather not talk about it now.]
