3: {in which Hanna is in fact a girl's name} / {audio}

[gneeisnotanoise]

YOU GUYS.

[The voice is higher, a little nasally, and absolutely ecstatic, squawking into the communicator and cracking painfully. Hanna is female, and thrilled about it. This is possibly the most fascinating thing that has ever happened. Of course, she has to keep her hands off her chest-- it hurts a little too much to poke and prod around that

[This...is possibly the most hesitant Attika has ever sounded in her life.]

...Hanna?

[gneeisnotanoise]

ATTIKA!

[Hanna giggles.]

It's me!

[maddattik]

[Nope! Looks like she could still get more hesitant.]

You...

You sound a little different.

[Or a lot different. OH GOD HAS SHE INFECTED HIM?!]

[gneeisnotanoise]

Ha ha, yeah! I got turned into a girl or something, really random.

Well, not so random. Everyone got gender-swapped or something. It's REALLY cool.

[maddattik]

It isn't cool.

[Oh dear, that was sharp, wasn't it.]

Not everyone. I'm still myself.

[But it's VERY WORRYING that Hanna isn't.]

[gneeisnotanoise]

[The tone concerns Hanna immediately. Good job, Attika, you have befriended the one idiot who will make sure you're okay FOREVER]

Other than that, though, are you all right?

[maddattik]

I'm fine.

[And so she is! Remarkably fine, in fact. ...Not even seeing things. Odd.]

I'm more worried about you. You shouldn't have changed yet.

Changed.

Shouldn't have changed.

I'm sorry, I'm confused.

[gneeisnotanoise]

Well, um. Hmm.

[That's weird. What do you mean, "yet"...?]

I think it's something to do with the boat as a whole. Some people have been saying stuff like this has happened before....

[maddattik]

Yes, I've heard.

It isn't very reassuring.

[Could the whole boat be infected? She didn't think a PLACE could do that. But maybe she was wrong. But that would mean--hang on, her head is hurting now.]

[gneeisnotanoise]

Most of them are blaming the Captain. Not that I know much about him yet.

[That's who he's been researching lately, anyway, to the best of his ability.]

I'm really not worried, Attika. If I'm worried? Then you should probably be worried.

[There is an uncomfortable laugh.]

[maddattik]

[Oh, Hanna, you have no idea.]

Well. I'll try not to be worried, then.

[She will just...set this golf club...with the other one. Just in case.]
