[ rustling -- it's sudden, rushed. ]

Aaa -- !! WAIT, I --

[ the subject is clearly out of breath. perhaps he doesn't understand he's being recorded? ]

They broke in.

They broke in and... what happened? What did they do?

[ he's speaking out loud so he can hear something over the ringing, chiming and other garbled noises in the space

Comments

voice.

[tridented]

Oya, how did it go again? Ah- something like, take a deep breath?

voice.

[sfortunato]

Aa -- r-right..

[ focus focus focus ]

I suppose I've gotten carried away.

voice.

[tridented]

Perhaps slightly.

voice.

[sfortunato]

[ something is familiar about this voice too, but a name doesn't register. only nervousness at every word -- like it's something he should definitely know. ]

Mm. How embarrassing.

I - uh, thank you.

For the advice.

voice.

[tridented]

[ Oh, Shou-chan, won't you be in for a surprise later on. ]

Common sense is often neglected, isn't it? [ Laughter. ] Had a spot of trouble?

voice.

[sfortunato]

[ idk his bff not!leonardo. ]

Something like that, yes.

voice.

[tridented]

[ oh bb, just ask for it. ]

How troublesome.

voice.

[sfortunato]

[ not sure if I want. ]

In a word.

I take it you're familiar with this... area?

voice.

[tridented]

Tourist maps are very helpful, I find.

[ Or they would be if there were any. ]

voice.

[sfortunato]

[ and regretting talking to you in 3.. 2.. 1.. ]

voice.

[sfortunato]

I don't think I like that people keep mentioning these "less than friendly additions".

voice.

[tridented]

I wonder, were you the type who was afraid of things that went bump in the night?

voice.

[sfortunato]

[ . . . ]

Perhaps we should end this conversation.

voice.

[tridented]

You think so?

voice.

[sfortunato]

... Yes. I do.
