Day 36 | Phone Call: All

[herlostletter]

[Heather glances at her phone whilst sitting outside in the snow. It's cold, she's so not dressed for the cold, and nothing makes sense.]Someone better know what's going on... anyone. Maybe

[intownonvcation]

Another person who knows Silent Hill. Well, at least you'll be prepared for this place.

[The voice sounds familiar, but he can't place it.]

[herlostletter]

You know about Silent Hill? Don't tell me this town has something to do with it.

[That voice...]

[intownonvcation]

Not in a literal sense, but there are uncanny, unpleasant similarities. There was even a siren going off a while back... Sounded exactly the same.

[herlostletter]

Sirens? I don't remember those.

[She pauses and sighs.]

But I think dad mentioned them once. Just in passing.

[intownonvcation]

Your father was there, too? Sounds like a family vacation gone very awry.

[herlostletter]

He never really talked about it. He just had a lot of stories to tell and didn't really talked about that place.

[intownonvcation]

I don't blame him. It's not a place to really chat about. After what happened to my daughter and I, I definitely don't ever really want to talk about it again.

[herlostletter]

You have a daughter? Is she here too?

[She feels pretty bad for the kid if she's here. But oh well.]

So where exactly are we anyway?

[intownonvcation]

Yes, she just turned five recently, and no... She's still at home, I think, and that worries me the most. At least here she'd be with me, safe.

[He hadn't resorted to murder only to have lost his daughter again. His whole situation was frustrating and a losing battle.]

The town's called Bell Pointe. Any other simple information you can find in the card that should have been next to your phone. It just won't tell you that there's no way to walk out of here.

((ooc: AHHHH THANK YOU FOR THE TOKENS))

[herlostletter]

Shit... and her mom's not in the picture is she?

[This town officially sucks balls. But Heather just sighs.]

I saw the card, but, you know, had to see where I was. Does it always snow this badly or did I just come at a bad time?

((ooc: No problem!))

[intownonvcation]

[What a complicated answer.] Her mother died right after she was born and my wife died some years ago. There's no one else to take care of her.

[If only she was a bit older. She was such a smart girl, he wouldn't be surprised if she did alright by herself.]

The weather's usually not that bad. It was warm for a while. You're best off staying inside until the snow slows down.

[herlostletter]

[Hold on, got to take this in... why does it sound so familiar?]

There's got to be a way to get back to her. I'm sure of it. There just has to be.

[She shifts a little more and tries not to groan.]

Yeah, I guess so.

[intownonvcation]

I'm not so sure anymore. There are some people who can fly here and none of them have been able to get away.

[He tries to not sound so hopeless, but it's hard.]

If you live with someone, at least you'll have conversation to keep you sane.

[herlostletter]

Fly? Like they've got wings or something? This isn't a comic or a movie, you know.

[That's just a little hard to believe.]

I don't want to stay with someone I don't know.

[intownonvcation]

Believe me, I know. I write fiction for a living, not believe in it. But here we are.

[Besides, after all that had happened in Silent Hill, Harry found it a little easier to go with the flow when these kind of things happened.]

Well, you don't have to. It all depends if the card said you were going to. What's the address of the house? If it's anywhere on Orchid Avenue, I might be able to tell you if you'll have a housemate or not.

[herlostletter]

You write fiction? My dad did that for a while when we weren't packing up and moving.

[She stands up a little, not liking how she suddenly feels so cold, but she eyes the number on the door.]

It says... 144. I don't know what street I'm on though.
