[ There is the sound of a girl crying not-so-quietly, sniffling and sobbing and hiccuping. Suddenly she stops, noticing the device and its blinking red light. She speaks with a thick Scottish accent. ]

Oh. H-hello? Hello? Is anyone-- is this one of those panhones? Can anyone h-hear me?

[ she clears her throat and tries to speak louder ]M-my name

[seventheve]

I'm-- I found a carousel. It's empty, but it's spinning.

Who are you?

audio; CHO ):

[dazzlepuff]

Er. I'm Cedric. You must have -

I'm sorry, this must be a terrible shock for you. I'll explain as best I can as soon as I get there. The carousel, you said? I think I know where that is.

Marietta?

[ She laughs dryly. ]

Stop it already. I told you it isn't funny.

[dazzlepuff]

I promise I'm not messing with you. It's really me.

Cedric?

No, I know. I fine already. I'm-- are you really?

audio;

[dazzlepuff]

I am.

[ ................. ]

Are you alright?

audio;

[seventheve]

You can't be.

[ She takes a long ragged breath to keep from crying. ]

I'm okay. Ced-- are you? Are you alright?

audio;

[dazzlepuff]

I'm fine, yeah.

This really must be strange for you.

audio;

[seventheve]

Yes, I'm-- I'm still not sure this is real.

Maybe I've just been imagining or-- not that you're an imagination but-- I don't know. I don't know what to think.

audio;

[dazzlepuff]

I know the feeling well. You're not dreaming and it isn't imagination.

The truth is actually much more far-fetched.
