[ Anyone who knows Rebecca should notice a few things. One, that the audio setting is unusual for her, two, that she doesn't sound nearly as upbeat as she usually does, and three, that such a short post on the network is unusual for her. ]Lucy's gone. Ezio is, too. I wouldn't be surprised if others disappeared, though I hope not

... Does this happen a lot? People leaving just like they randomly show up?

audio;

[needsheadphones]

Sometimes, yeah. Usually everything is the way it usually is here, and then sometimes people are just... gone.

audio;

[slayery]

No trace? No notes, explanations... Just... disappeared?

audio;

[needsheadphones]

Right.

[ There's a sound then, like Rebecca is running a hand over her face. ]

Just gone. And if Lucy had found a way back home, she wouldn't have just left us here.

So this is like reverse abduction after the initial -- What's the point? If - ... Ugh. [ Buffy getting a headache is a beautiful thing to hear. ]

I'm sorry you lost your friends. We'll figure a way out of here for all of us, eventually.

[needsheadphones]

No idea.

I think the rulers said it's them "waking up" but... Well, I don't exactly trust them.

[ Sighs slightly. ] I'd stay here if it meant knowing they're at home and safe.

Is there any way to find out? Maybe the mirrors?

audio;

[needsheadphones]

No, that won't work. I mean, we show up in them anyway...

[ And her mirror is frozen. ]

[slayery]

But won't your friends, too? I definitely saw mine. I'm not happy with fake-me being there with them, but still.

audio;

[needsheadphones]

Yeah, but they showed up there when they were here, too.

audio;

[slayery]

So there's no way of knowing. Could this place get any more wiggy?

audio;

[needsheadphones]

That depends. Were you here for the monsters and the giant dragon?

audio;

[slayery]

Nope. Heard about it, though.

audio;

[needsheadphones]

Let's just hope it doesn't get to that level of crazy again.

audio;

[slayery]

Fingers definitely crossed.

[needsheadphones]

...I'm Rebecca, by the way.
