Phone Call to Everyone | Day 39

[escapedpandora]

Is everyone's power out? It's really cold, but--

I can't call Light. And there are people missing. I didn't notice before. A lot of people, actually. There's-- I know there were people I met that-- well, they're not in the phone-book anymore.

If they've been kidnapped again...

[theotokos]

[She thinks about this.]

Maybe... they got sent back? The last time anyone went missing, their names were still there.

[escapedpandora]

Sent-- but sent back to where? Home? Out of here?

I thought we were just stuck here.

[theotokos]

Maybe. Possibly?

Well, we may be stuck here, but perhaps we leave as randomly as we come.

[escapedpandora]

Leave randomly?

[He doesn't sound so happy about that.]

But if we're from different times... we still remember everything from here, right?

[bravevalkyrie]

People are missing again?

[Her voice is softer, but her teeth are chattering a little.]

[escapedpandora]

I don't know. The power-- maybe we should have all just stayed together. I don't know if it's just the power or the town being strange again or... I don't know. But I can't call Light. And I was looking at the phonebook-- there are people I know that aren't on this. And a lot of people I don't know on it.

[bravevalkyrie]

What's going on? Maybe... the town is pulling an out with the old, in with the new while we're stuck in this storm?

But I'm sure Light is okay, Hope. Maybe she went back home?

[escapedpandora]

Out--? But why choose people randomly? I mean, who gets to leave and who stays?

Something's not right. I don't think it's just the storm and the power outage. Home's not-- I mean, I should go check on her. She'd do that for me.

[shyeyed]

Um...n-no, I haven't seen a girl. My power is out too...

I wish there was someone here with me.

I-is your friend in the book?

[escapedpandora]

...Are you by yourself?

It-- no, I couldn't find her in the book. But I just talked to her a while ago.

[shyeyed]

Um. Well, I'm in a house, by myself...since I couldn't find the hospital. Haha, maybe that's a good thing! Wesker sounds scary...

Maybe she found a way home! She might be attempting a rescue party?

[escapedpandora]

I don't think anyone should be by themselves right now. It's really cold-- and what if it gets colder?

I-- I don't know. We kind of came from different... times?

[crownedape]

[Nooooot going to be his usual realist self, at least for Hope's sake.]

It could just be the storm, kid.

[escapedpandora]

The storm? Do you think they could be out in the storm?

[crownedape]

Either that or it's screwing with these things. If this storm knocked out the power, who knows what it's doing to everything else.

[escapedpandora]

But... even with the phone book? I know there are other people here that aren't listed in the book. At least, there were. I don't know. Something could have happened to them.

[regdloading]

How're they not in the phonebook anymore?

[escapedpandora]

They're just-- I took a look through the phone book. They're gone. Their names aren't in the book anymore.

[regdloading]

So they were there before? Sheeet... So... so what's it mean?

[escapedpandora]

I don't know. I know they were here. I talked to a few people... and their names aren't in the book now.
