No. The recording kept flickering in and out, so all we really got really got was... They're hunting us down, like we're - something I couldn't catch.
[She takes a breath.]
But it wasn't a voice I recognized. So if it was someone who isn't in this group, it could mean they were describing something similar that has happened before, and if this is the second time around...
[It doesn't exactly bode well for their future.]
I'm getting the feeling this is more than just a kidnapping.
[Hm yeah that's bad! Sounds bad! He doesn't like that!
He sets his bowl down again, crossing his arms and legs and assuming some sort of weird gremlin Thinking Pose.]
And I'm getting the feeling that you're right about that. Begs the question as to what it is in that case, though... There's no way someone would just round people up to make an elaborate game of the hunt, right?
Right... I'm assuming anything that they didn't do right away, they either couldn't or didn't want to. Don't see why there would be a long pause like this before a big hunt either, since this is a little too much time if the purpose is just to get us to let our guards down.
["SOON". THAT'S OMINOUS.]
Did you get a look at that thing? Any sort of description at all would be good, even if it's just a size or color.
[Between that and her roommate it's no wonder she just wants to flee.]
That sort of thing would be enough to give anyone a fright if they aren't prepared! No one's ever ready for their first melted face, especially if it's their own. That's a pretty dirty trick, to be honest. What's the aim? Just to give you all something to worry about?
[Shaking his head... Ghosts are rude, news at 11.]
Did anything happen outside of that, or was it just that last try?
[He promised he'd chill out on the witchcraft nonsense okay, it's fine!!]
Hm... [HM.] ...Well, will you let me know if anything changes with that, too? If it comes back or if you suddenly have - I don't know, double vision or anything like that.
Try out a purification method, probably. After all, if you start showing physical symptoms, a protective charm isn't going to do much.
[Casually discussing the possibility of impending possession, as one does.]
Those don't require any blood or even any writing at all, at least! Just salt. ...Well, it should be a little more than just salt in an ideal situation, but I doubt I'll find what I need here.

[aaaaaa]
Right before I saw what grabbed me, all of us heard something say... Soon. But - I'm kind of hoping it wasn't whatever I saw.

[Haha!! This is bad.]
It actually looked like me. Same height, same everything, just - without a face. I mean, uh, the flesh melted off. While I was watching.
no subject
Anyway he's looking suitably concerned!!]
Seriously—?! That sounds awful! What a rude apparition!
no subject
Yeah, it's... [Bad!!] It's not like I wanted to sleep ever again, or anything like that, right?

[She cuts herself off, because she probably Does Not want to know, and cements that point by quickly moving on.]
Just that, and this... pain in my head afterwards.
no subject
Pain? What kind? Does it still hurt?

no subject
We've already got the whole nausea thing going on, but... Sure.
no subject
I won't do any blood arts if something goes wrong and you let me know. Promise!
no subject
What would you do instead?
[She's doing her best to make that seem like idle curiosity.]

[ [john mulaney voice] this might as well happen]
Anyways... Maybe we should both get some rest.
[she’s going to stare at the ceiling for ten hours]
no subject
It has been a long day... [Though on that note--] I think I'm going to get something to drink, actually. Will you be alright on your own?
[HITTIN THE BOTTLE FOR THE THIRD TIME TODAY.]
no subject
Yeah, totally. I might actually, um, step out to get some water, too.
[There’s a sink in the room, but she’s just going to Ignore That for now.]
no subject
Alright! I'll be over in the lounge if you need anything.
no subject
[and that’s how she left and just never returned,,]
