[Mia is just going to sit silently on the other end of the phone.]

[waitingforjava]

[[Well we aren't psychic. Since he has no idea what's going on, he'l play along for now.]]

Hello? Armando residence?

[mr_blandy_bland]

[Some background noise breaks the silence.]

Mia-san? Are you feeling alright? H-Huh? Hey...where are you...

[The phone cord kind of crackles as Canada moves it closer.]

Ah, H-Hello?

[waitingforjava]

[[Mia...? He's got a vague sense of unease building, but his voice is still composed, almost affable.]]

I'm sorry, I believe you may have called a wrong number.

[turnedaboutace]

... ....

[similar to Mia. He knows something is different, but that's definitely.. Godot.]

[waitingforjava]

[[Man, the people in this town sure do like their heavy breathing. :|]]

...Can I help you?

[turnedaboutace]

[LOL kljs]

... Godot? Is that you? (... do I want him identifying me so soon? Everyone else has, I guess, so there's no point in not letting him know.)

It's... Wright.

well it was true >>;

[waitingforjava]

[[Well this IS a reunion, isn't it? He'd recognize that voice anywhere.]]

Wright. Nothing personal, but why are you...?

[[He doesn't finish the question, distracted by blood dripping on his foot. It's an unpleasant feeling.]]

[spiritualburger]

[Okay, so Maya will be the one of the group to speak up.]

... Mr. Godot?

[waitingforjava]

[[This time it's Diego's turn to be silent. That's definitely Maya Fey. She might notice he sounds a bit different. How, one can't really say.]]

Wasn't expecting to see you here, Maya.

[spiritualburger]

[Maya hesitates for a moment. Should she really tell him right away?]

You'd... probably be pretty surprised when you find out who else is here.

[waitingforjava]

I woke up this morning with a wife and two kids that I didn't have yesterday. I doubt much could surprise me at this point.

[waitingforjava]

[[And is that Pearl?? Seems like the whole family is here, almost. Well, all the good ones. Still doesn't sound like she remembers him, so best to keep that to himself.]]

Mayfield? Well, little one, would you mind telling me just where Mayfield is?

[waitingforjava]

[[Yep, whatever this place is, Pearl is still the same adorable kid.]]

America? America's a pretty big place, sweetheart. But thank you.

[yamatopetals]

Mr. Godot? [ffff shouldn't really be surprised]

[waitingforjava]

[[Now this is getting just plain creepy. Should he start looking for a yellow brick road now or later?]]

Why, Sister Iris. I'd say what a surprise to see you here, but seeing as how I've already seen pretty much everyone else I've ever known...

[yamatopetals]

[she can't help but laugh softly]

Yes, it does seem that way. Although a few months ago there were considerably less familiar faces.

[waitingforjava]

When it rains, it pours. Hope you've been doing well, despite the pretty deep-seated creepiness of this place.
