I. The First Day

[enviousmath]

[The phone begins to ring. If you pick it up a woman's voice can be heard. It sounds frustrated, but oddly keeps a steady tone.]

Hello, 110. I have an incapacitated man, likely in his 30's. He kidnapped me and said that I'm his wife. The address is 1664 Nelson Street. Do you mind picking him up and arresting him? His name...hold on.

[The voice

[This is the sound of Ange dropping the phone in shock. No way. No way. No way. This is... No way.]

[enviousmath]

[The sound of the phone dropping catches her ears.]

...Who's there? I know someone is listening.

[crawlininmytome]

... [Picking up the phone now that she's regained some composure.]

Please tell me that this isn't a lie or an illusion. Please tell me that this is the real voice of Ushiromiya Kyrie.

[A pause.] If this is a joke, I'll make sure you regret it.

wow I got the emergency number wrong derp

[enviousmath]

...How do you know my name? [The voice...for some reason it feels vaguely familiar. But she can't place a finger on it right now.] You aren't from 110 I assume. [She's pretty sure she didn't misdial the emergency number of all things.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

I suppose you'll discover the truth soon enough...

[enviousmath]

And what sort of truth am I aiming for?

[hop_toit_udonge]

You are imprisoned.

[enviousmath]

Imprisoned? This is just a house, I can leave whenever I want to now.

[kihihi_witch]

[Way to go Kyrie, exposing this child to senseless violence over the phone.]

Uu-, not police.

[enviousmath]

[Oh yeah, because you don't experience senseless violence every day Maria.]

That voice...Maria-chan? What are you doing on the line?

[kihihi_witch]

[At least her mom doesn't use frying pans!]

Maria was bored, uu-! Shouldn't beat drones, they don't care.

[enviousmath]

[But she does rip apart your toys and crush your dreams.]

Maria-chan, is Rosa-san there? [Because she doesn't feel like talking to a kid about not beating up drone people. Not age appropriate.]

[witchingold]

[ ... Ah. How interesting. For a minute or two, she stays silent before laughing ever-so-quietly.

Shall she play around with her for a little while...? ]

How violent.

[enviousmath]

[First her daughter and now a witch. Why do you keep trolling her?

The voice on the other line...rings of familiarity for sure. But she doesn't budge to it.]

In my defense, he was looking for trouble when he tried to pull me into a kiss.

[witchingold]

[ It wouldn't be Umineko without the trolls, you know. ]

Hmhm. I expected that much from one who would marry into the Ushiromiya family, see? ... That Ange resembles you quite greatly.

[enviousmath]

[Or crazy people.]

!!...[She just goes silent. How does this woman know Ange and of the family and...dammit the voice is familiar and she can't understand why.]

You know who I am. [It's not even a question. There's no point in it being one.]

[tsundorapettan]

[ that- couldn't possibly be- ]

[tsundorapettan]

[ ...her first reaction is to just drop the phone out of sheer shock. because the last thing that she did before being taken back to mayfield was killing her, and here- she is- ... ]

[tsundorapettan]

[ ...holy shit. holy shit. but that's completely, totally impossible- ]

[tsundorapettan]

[ no, wait- she did speak to one person who claimed to be dead before coming here- so...? Could it that this place, Mayfield, is... really... hell? ]
