phone call to all √ day 20

[isoluminol]

[For a few moments, there's nothing but the loud rustling of cellophane as someone wrestles with a bag on the other end. After a soft pop, a voice chimes in, fast and irritated.]

I want answers. See, I'm a detective -- right, guess you can't see the badge-- and I am extremely, extremely busy. I don't have time to play in your little ghost town.

If you're a detective, you can help us figure out where that room is.

[Abrupt greeting, but he's been pretty panicked the past half day and is too stressed to be nice.]

[isoluminol]

The room that's on TV? You mean that wasn't just some horror movie?

[escapedpandora]

If that's a horror movie, then we're living in it. Those people were here and fine yesterday, and now their homes are trashed and they're on tv. We need to find them.

[isoluminol]

Have you notified the police? I wouldn't want to go trampling on a crime scene before a proper investigation was done.

[ahundredtoone]

Yeah, somehow? I'm thinking that won't work.

[isoluminol]

Why not fill me in then, if you're such an expert?

[ahundredtoone]

All I know is you can't leave this place, and some weird shit's going down. Buckle up, sweetheart.

[isoluminol]

Thanks for the info, but I am not your sweetheart.

I don't think threatening everyone's going to work. We're all in this together.

Norman Jayden, FBI. Maybe you can help me figure out the circumstances we're in, Detective...?

AW YEAH, PARTY TIME

[isoluminol]

They called the FBI in to investigate?

I wish I could help, officer, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

OONTZ OONTZ OONTZ

[trippintanks]

I'm sorry if I got your hopes up. I was just passing through and got stuck like everyone else.

However, I have taken it upon myself to begin investigating while I'm here, and any help is appreciated. It doesn't look like we can contact anyone outside of the city, so it's important we pool our resources.

[isoluminol]

I see...

...but I guess we lucked out, huh? With an FBI agent and a detective on hand, this mystery is as good as solved.

[demiurgos_girl]

You're new here?

[isoluminol]

Unfortunately, yeah. And you are?

[demiurgos_girl]

Elaine. I'm new, too. Apparently we're stuck here now.

[isoluminol]

Ema Skye. I wish I could say it's nice to meet you, but these are pretty strange circumstances for doing a meet-and-greet.
