[She sounds a little more like herself, but rather awkward--she doesn't like to ask other people for things.]

Andromache? I--um. Would you mind if--if I came over? Just to stay for... Not terribly long but I think--I think I'm causing problems and...

[Pause; then in Trojan so the Greeks don't understand:] Theseus said I should? But, mm, only if ( Read more... )

[This is about five minutes of almost constant unholy shrieking, both deeply distressed and probably deeply distressing.

At some point, somewhere--from wherever she is broadcasting this--something shatters.]

General Agamemnon, Mania, Psyche--if I've woken you during the night at all, I apologise ( Read more... )

Patroclus, I'm coming back to the apartment because this is obscene. I can't work and study from a hotel--more to the point, I can't afford to.

I'll be fixing up a bed for myself in the study room lest I try to throttle anyone who speaks to me. It feels necessary, somehow.

And before anyone starts asking ridiculous questions: No, I'm not alright ( Read more... )

[A minor meltdown. She's angry (mostly at herself, actually), confused and perhaps a little scared--far from being rational. The background noise would suggest she's outside. There is the occasional sniffle; she's refusing to cry and has a developing cold. There's about a minute of background noises, throat clearing and about-to-say-somethings ( Read more... )

I think, perhaps, it might be best if I just left right now did my reading at the library... and got some of this out of the way. Maybe there'll be more room in the apartment.

I'm--I'm taking my laptop and phone with me, so--Well, in case I'm needed. If I don't answer the latter it's because I'm probably avoiding you I'll be putting it on silent ( Read more... )

My left hand has been drawing absurd amounts of attention from nigh on every woman who has passed through my clinic with reason to speak to me. I am fairly certain women are supposed to react this way to children, not jewellery--regardless of the meaning behind aforementioned jewellery.

What kind of self-respecting woman makes cooing noises over ( Read more... )

[A clatter as knives are dropped all over the floor. The voice is echoing around the kitchen, quite hysterical.]

Really don't want to get close enough to use these... Where the fuck is my mace? The--the--ah, tazer, I--

[A moment of realisation; then hysterical shouting.]

ACHILLES. PATROCLUS. Y--you leave me here on my own to rescue that ( Read more... )

Achilles...
... I should be pleased to
He clearly doesn't want this
Why resurrect someone who
Oh, gods, I feel sick

I have write-ups to do. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my apartment.

Finally got the hang of the alarm system. These instruction manuals are ridiculously convoluted and the men who installed it were virtually no help whatsoever. Now I just need to remember the key-code.

I think I'll start wearing flats to work; my vanity will have to be appeased some other way. I just--I like to hear more than just my own rather ( Read more... )
