[001] voice

[tom_hanniger]

[There’s a long moment between picking up the phone and saying anything. Perhaps the quiet sound of someone trying to control their breathing, but little else. Finally, the person speaks, his voice masculine but hushed; as if he’s afraid someone might overhear.]

I- I don’t know if..

This is insane.

I'm sorry, but we've all been kidnapped.

[tom_hanniger]

How many people can hear me? Sorry.. I've never seen a phone like this, I guess.

[not_oflegend]

Anyone who happens to be on. It's like an open connection.

I don't know how it works like that, but it does.

[tom_hanniger]

Hm.

So...any idea who's behind all this?

[not_oflegend]

We don't know anything for sure. But there are some people who run the town, but we don't know who's in charge.

There's the milk man, officer Grady and the Mayor. And recently we found out some more information from another town, and there maybe a little girl who is more than just a little girl.

[tom_hanniger]

This is nuts. I'm asleep.. and dreaming about being on the phone talking to crazy people.

[not_oflegend]

I wish.

And I am not crazy. Even if what I say does sound ridiculous.

[tom_hanniger]

I didn't mean it like that.. Sorry.

[not_oflegend]

It's alright. It is hard to believe.

[tom_hanniger]

That's putting it lightly. So... what are we supposed to do here?

[not_oflegend]

Pretend like nothing is wrong. They give you families and jobs and you're supposed to pretend like you've always had them.

[tom_hanniger]

Why?

[Stupid question, but he has to ask anyway]

I'm sorry, who is this?

[not_oflegend]

We don't know. It's supposed to be like some twisted 50's sitcom.

Sorry, I'm Alice Hamilton.

[tom_hanniger]

50's? I guess that explains the Stepford house..

How long have you been here, Alice?

[not_oflegend]

Do you have any drones in your house?

A few months now.

[tom_hanniger]

Do I have any what?
