Day 72 | sometime after dawn

[notadamnvampire]

[Sometime after dawn, a phone call is placed to everyone. A young male voice, irritated and somewhat exhausted, comes over the line, and the sound of him fiddling with things he's come across in his empty house can be heard in the background.]I know I was tired when I got on the train last night, but I don't remember taking one to some creepy Long

You know that old cliched saying, "You can never go home again"?

Yeah, well, it's true here.

[notadamnvampire]

...

Is that so. And to whom am I speaking?

[hardestofharts]

Name's Miles Hart.

And yeah, I'm a fairly new arrival myself. This place is pretty messed up.

[notadamnvampire]

There's things here with my name on it. Paperwork. The phone. There was this key... What sort of sick joke is this? Do they have any idea who... [He mumbles that last part, trailing off as he fiddles with things he's found in the house.]

[alwaysdeadright]

[Someone new! Perhaps this one speaks Zombie?]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh. Eeeuuugggh nnnnnaaaahhhh? Eeeehhhhhhhnnnn.

[notadamnvampire]

What the damn world-- If this is some sort of prank, I am really not entertained in the slightest. Now get me someone on the phone whose tongue works properly.

[alwaysdeadright]

[.......And there is crying over the line. She's a little sensitive post!zombie-genocide.]

[notadamnvampire]

[Oh god what. He sputters a moment. That was unexpected.] Wh-What-- Why are you-- Look, I think I had some legitimate questions here. I-If this is some sort of... speech impediment thing then... Then put someone else on the line!

[cukoolanded]

No one really knows where here is or how we end up here. I'm sorry.

[notadamnvampire]

Right.

Perfect.

Did everyone here has randomly rolled into town on the midnight train from Manhattan? Do we at least have that in common? Because if that's the case I'll go back to using the bus.

[cukoolanded]

No, everyone got here differently. [She's pretty relieved he didn't die before he got here.]

I went to sleep in a park, and then woke up here.

[notadamnvampire]

Ugh. Maybe I did fall asleep on the train again.

So. Don't know how we got here, or where here is. Do we know why?

[shyeyed]

Um....W-we're stuck here...

[notadamnvampire]

Stuck. Stuck how?

[shyeyed]

A-as in...we can't leave.

[notadamnvampire]

...Yes. I gathered that. I mean, how are we being kept here. How are we stuck, exactly.
