( PHONE ) 4th of may, afternoon

the message starts, and there's a good few seconds of dead air before a hesitant:

H-Hello?

Wesley? Charles? Cordy?

...Is anybody out there?

her speech gets progressively faster as she gets to talking, though never quite frantic.

I... I don't understand any of this. I woke up in this hospital and there were all kinds of people and I couldn't remember much of anything at all, and now I'm in a house and they're sayin' it's mine but I don't remember any of it. But golly, these books I found sure seem like mine, and they were even in the piles that I would've made, and I just-, I don't remember anything, and I-I don't know. It's all so weird.

there's a pause, and a small nervous giggle. ❱ After getting- well. After everything else, I call this weird. I guess strange houses with dusty old books just make me a little nervous right now... But since I can understand the words in this one, I guess it's safe. I mean, what are the odds of being- I-, I mean, of the same thing happenin' twice in one year?

another stretch of quiet. honestly, it's pretty possible she forgot it's even recording.

As far as I know, I'm the only one who's... had... that same thing happen, but hell, surely I can't be, so me plus an allowed variation of three, that still makes a one in 1,720,190,000 chance of it happenin' once in a lifetime, so twice in a lifetime, and then twice in one year would be-...

a shorter silence. then in a small voice: ❱ Guys? I'm... I'm under this table. And I'm a little bit scared.

Is it a sturdy table, at least?

[you sound like you have some problems, friend. have a soft, young british voice speaking to you passively over the phone.]
