[voice only, on Monday morning]

Hi. I'm Abigail. I'm new here. Well, new-ish. I've been living here for a couple months now, but I haven't really been online much. Sorry for not introducing myself sooner. It's not that I don't like it here. I'm glad for the second chance this place gives us, really I am. It's just that it's not the first time I was supposed to have a fresh start. I'm kind of been waiting for something to come along and mess it up. That's what always happens.

[There is a pause]

I'm feeling like it might fall apart now. A few days ago, I saw some of my worst memories play out in front of my eyes. I thought I was losing it, but I heard that it happened to other people too. With this being Halloween and all, I'm feeling like it was a warning that something bad might happen. That's not crazy, is it?

[There is another pause]

Will? Are you out there and listening? Can I come and see you? Maybe stay the night if you have a couch?

And housemates, I don't mind chipping in for candy if you want to give it to trick-or-treaters, but I can't stay home to give it out.

( Cassandra is not home right now but she vaguely recognises the voice of the young woman who shares her residence. )

We've not been formally introduced, but my name is Cassandra. I also live at residence thirty.

( She wants to ask why one would be giving free food away (is this another one of those traditions she knows nothing about) but there are more important questions at hand. )

Is there anything I may help you with?

( She supposes that they're all in this together. )

Hi Cassandra.

I, um, Do you know anything about these memories?

[buttonedup]

I have not encountered the scenario you talk about myself. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.

Re: voice;

[am_i_a_monster]

That's okay. I'm glad you didn't have to deal with it.

[Ignoring the memory talk because haha that's not for the Network when it comes to Baltimore...]

Sure. You can have the guest room if you want it.

[am_i_a_monster]

Thanks. I'll try not to get in your way.

[The frown is audible. But then again, it usually is with Will.]

It's a big house and you're never in my way. It'll be fine.

Re: voice;

[am_i_a_monster]

I might have nightmares. Can I wake you up if I do?

[infomodder]

If I'm not already awake.

[nightmare buddies]

[am_i_a_monster]

Do you get them too?

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh hey, it's you.

[ The name and the voice were familiar at least. It was the chick he had met during the Renfaire stuff, right? Right. ]

Erm... you got caught up in that alleyway stuff too, hunh?

Re: voice;

[am_i_a_monster]

Yeah. It's me. Have you been trying some cookie dough bacon ice cream?

[Her tone switches from light to serious.

Yeah, I did. It was really messed up.

[sleight_of_hand]

N-not yet. I don't think my stomach is prepared for it.

[ He paused at that, frowning to himself. ]

Yeah, I hear you. I got caught in it too.

Re: Permavoice

[am_i_a_monster]

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

[sleight_of_hand]

Eh... lived through it once already, you know?

[am_i_a_monster]

I know. It doesn't make it any easier.
