Mom?

[ Yeah this is probably going to get her shot at some more, but when has a silly thing like imminent death every stopped her? Steph sounds pretty calm, considering the uncertainty evident and the content of the 'voicemail'. Actually, she sounds mostly sad. Like maybe she was scared but the pieces are starting to come together. ]

Your answering machine stopped working. And you never picked me up. And I just almost got turned into swiss cheese. And I'm kind of starting to wonder if maybe your phone is tapped, because I'm pretty sure it was me they were looking for. And now I don't even know where I am, so I'm kind of also starting to wonder if I wasn't drugged or something.

Just thought I'd give you an update, since you haven't answered any of my calls after the first one.

Wait, that's an option?

[ Strangely this doesn't seem as upsetting as it probably should be. ]

[adelphoktonos]

A possibility. He does have a vicious sense of humor sometimes.

It doesn't sound like it bothers you much, though.

[spoilsplans]

Considering the folks back home are trying to kill me? I'm not in a rush to go back.

[adelphoktonos]

[Knowing how this place works, Helena wonders if they didn't manage to kill her after all. She doesn't say that though.]

Why are they trying to kill you?

[spoilsplans]

I know some things I probably shouldn't.

[ Like, say, their entire plan to take over the city. ]

[adelphoktonos]

Well, you'd be the first short-term arrival I've seen this flood if you're not supposed to be here. So take comfort in the fact you could very easily be safe here for a lot longer than three days.

[spoilsplans]

Thanks. Here's hoping I last.

[adelphoktonos]

Here's hoping.
