[ Day 62 | Phone Call | Everyone ]

[It's Ethan again, sounding like his entire world has come crashing down. There's a hint of panic lacing his voice as well.]

I-I saw him again. I saw Jason. But...but he looked different. He looked like one of them.

[One of whom, you ask? It may be hard to get Ethan to say, but given how horrifying the images in the fog are, it's probably not too

Hey! Calm down old man, it's all in your head.

[Please don't be weak, not!dad, Heather really needs you right now.]

It's just this stupid town. It's not real. It's just a nightmare.

[ethanmaaars]

It's real enough.

[vectornake]

Mister Mars? What are you talking about, exactly?

[ethanmaaars]

Jason.. My- my son. He was in the fog.

[vectornake]

...is your son well, back home?

[ethanmaaars]

No. He died... two years ago.

[frontpaiges]

Ethan, it wasn't real.

[ethanmaaars]

He still had his balloon...

[That motherfucking red balloon. It's always there.]

[frontpaiges]

Ethan... [THERE IS NO BALLOON. The balloon is a lie.]

[ethanmaaars]

[Loooong pause.]

How can goddamn fog do this shit?

[emeth]

Are- are you alright?

[ethanmaaars]

... I'll be fine.

[Really? Cause you don't sound it, Ethan.]

[emeth]

(She's quiet for a moment.)

I don't understand how fog is able to do something like this...

[ethanmaaars]

It's this place... There's something wrong with it.

[fourleafaxe]

[She squeaks a moment before picking up, still not used to the phone

You actually saw something? I can't really see anything clearly. What's going on?

[ethanmaaars]

I saw enough.

There are things in the fog. That's all I know. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

[fourleafaxe]

Well what's that mean?

[ethanmaaars]

[Sigh.]

That someone's fucking with us?
