Day 60 || Phone Call to Everyone

[fourleafaxe]

[The voice on the phone is high, sort of squeaky though she's obviously trying to stay calm. She takes a breath before she starts speaking

Comments

[blindedserpent]

[This is Snake. This is Snake at 'home,' eating from a bag of chips and sipping some water while he listens to the TV. Almost as a lark, he listens one of the latest calls to everyone-

And promptly wheezes as he chokes on his water.]

Clover? Clover? Is that-?

[fourleafaxe]

[There's a squeak before she talks, but the underlying fear is gone.]

SNAKE?! Snake is that really you?! Where are you?!

[blindedserpent]

[Yes, he knows that squeak! It really is her!]

Clover, oh thank God- I'm with Santa and Seven. Where are you? Are you in a house?

[fourleafaxe]

[She sighs] Seven's around? [It's as if that alone took some weight from her mind] Good. ... just those two?

[There's a pause while Clover reads the door sign] Outside of one. I thought I saw a Snake in the directory, so I came to this address. Am I at the wrong place?

[clausandeffect]

[Let's skip the formalities!]

Where the hell have you been?!

[fourleafaxe]

[You mean like making me think my brother's dead?]

I swear to all the powers in this world, Santa, if you had anything to do with this...

For the record, I parsed that in the wrong way and suddenly, Batclover mental picture.

[clausandeffect]

Hey, what the hell are you talking about? I'm asking where you've been!

She'd be too dangerous, I fear

[fourleafaxe]

What am I talking about? I woke up in some strange place and I have no idea what's going on! I wonder who was responsible the last time?

[there's a pause.]

Look... just... I'm sorry. What's going on?

[coffeecoffeetea]

You... are back. Interesting.

[fourleafaxe]

[Have another squeak. She pauses though, and doesn't ask him about that, instead, though she's obviously nervous, she's asking more important questions]

Who are you?

[coffeecoffeetea]

Officer Nikolae Thomas.

[He pauses, wondering if she knows him or not. She might not remember... or she might not have ever been here.]

What has happened since you left here?

[fourleafaxe]

Officer? What kind of officer?

[Clover doesn't trust anyone right now, not till Snake gets here. She's not going to answer anything about herself.]
