[Remaining calm was the only thing she could do. After a few moments of shocked silence and studying the room she's been placed in, Florence begins to fiddle with the phone, which requires a bit of tinkering on her end before she finally gets a grasp on the device.]

[The anxiety in her tone is easy to distinguish.] Doctor Kamiya? Um, it's not as

[[Though 'Doctor Kamiya' is something a friend of his once said, he can't place it in his memory, so he ignores it for now.]]

Miss, I'm sorry to tell you, but you're not at home. You're in the town of Mayfield.

[worrywarting]

Is that...possible? We've never been allowed to leave St. Kleio before. Perhaps I just dialed the wrong number! I'm sorry. [S-so obliviously going back to fiddling with the phone again.]

[steel_massifail]

N-no, no! It's fine! I'm serious, you aren't at home. In a sense, you've been kidnapped. We've all been kidnapped.

...This is a bit hard to believe, but please bear with me?

[worrywarting]

Kidnapped? [HOW DO YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF HER HEART BREAKING MORE SNIFFLING] What have they done with my friends?

[artwithknives]

Hi?

[worrywarting]

Hello? I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I haven't gotten used to these phones yet...

[artwithknives]

N-No, don't worry about it. It's no big deal.

[worrywarting]

Well, if you insist...

Oh! Um, I'm Florence Nightingale. I take it you've been kidnapped as well?

[generose]

Fl-Florence... ?

[worrywarting]

Elizabeth! Have they kidnapped you? How rude. [huff huff] I was so worried!

[generose]

I can't believe they brought you here too.

( worry, worry, worry. ) I'm going to come over, okay? Is there anything around you with an address on it?

[worrywarting]

[The worrying is mutual, of course.] An address?

[Searching around the room andddd...oh, look, an envelope!] 849 Goldberg Street. Please be careful.

[hateslonglines]

I am sure you have already heard this from someone else, however, this place is far from a simulation.

[worrywarting]

Yes, I've heard. [And she doesn't seem too happy about that fact at all.] Regardless, it's a very...elaborate and cruel scheme.

[hateslonglines]

That may be, but there is nothing you can do about it, unfortunately. Once you're here, you're here for good, even if you do manage to get out for a few days.

[worrywarting]

It's certainly different than what I'm used to, but I'll try my best to manage. The town is just so...big. I'm not sure where to start.

[crytodaddy]

[ why was he so far back on that list? oh well, ahead of Shiro.]

A warning would have been more than helpful. But this isn't Kamiya's doing.

[worrywarting]

[people who try to watch girls changing get placed at the end of the list okay.]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I would prefer to be home or stuck in this town. Whoever is behind this is quite...imaginative.

...Are you all right?

[crytodaddy]

[ h-he was forced to. ya. totally not his fault...

they were lovely by the way.]

It's not very different from home, from what I'm seeing. Just masked with a happy family and more smiles.

Oh, I'm fine. This place is entertaining. Have you been filled in with the basics?

[worrywarting]

[yes freud so innocent

does he need to get slapped

....again]

But we're allowed to be somewhat...normal. Surely that must count for something.

If you say so. I'm glad you're doing well, then. I've mostly been informed of the basics. Drones, kidnapping, staying away from the milkman...
