[iffygenes]

[ooc: basically to save flists and so on, I'll start two threads down below. These two phone calls are backdated to 3 or so this morning (May 12). Whatever order it happens isn't exactly important, but y'know if it really matters feel free to leave a comment not in one of the two threads down below and I'll talk it over with you.]

[Call to Achilles]

[iffygenes]

[almost to self, as the phone rings]

He said whenever, call whenever - he should be picking up, Gods pick up....

[iffygenes]

Lord Achilles? Can you talk now? Please?

[iffygenes]

I - I'm - I'm down here.

[she begins to talk quickly, words barely a breath in between]

It might have been a trap - I don't know, they didn't say so. They say I'm not calm, but I think I'm calm. I - I Phobos - no, it's Lord Phobos - he tricked me, even if he didn't know about you-know-who, and Oh Gods Achilles-

[iffygenes]

I - I -

[several attempts at a deep breath, but finally seems calm a little bit]

It was Pho- I mean Lord Phobos. He scared me, and I was going to after him with the broom. But he scared me again, and then everything kind of fell apart and...

[one more big breath]

I don't think I can talk about it but he's here. Really here. I'm here and - and you said you'd help me.

[iffygenes]

[almost mumbling]
I - I just don't want to...ever, was just...

[yet another]

You-you did? She's going to get me, right? I was going to call her - and I called you - but, I got you first. He says that I'm not calm enough to leave, he's gotta talk to Mother - I mean I'm not okay - I mean I am okay. I'm alive. I - I'm just scared.

[iffygenes]

I'm not going to sleep until I speak to her. I told him that. I refuse to - she has to just in case something does...does happen.

[iffygenes]

...after this evening I'm a little too scared to believe that.

[iffygenes]

I - budge? I can't leave, how could I budge?
