Open Action ;; Voice [Phone]

OPEN ACTION;;
After priding herself on being such a good, punctual student, what's the first thing Audrey manages to do? Run late for class, that's what. She was fairly bouncing on the tips of her toes waiting for the train to reach the right station, then dashing out the doors as they opened along with everyone else.

If one runs into the young woman today, it will definitely be somewhere on campus. Her schedule is a little packed. Her first class is in classical violin work, though the other few are all basic freshman introductory courses. She will be making it a point to not only have lunch at something of an appropriate lunch time but to also stop by the library later in the evening. One can find her in the library mingling chiefly in the fiction sections and musical sections but eventually she'll drift to more religious and philosophical topics.

AUDIO;;
[Evidently this little leak onto the network was intended to be a voice message left for someone else, at least at first. This is what happens when you get a voicemail and forget to save the other number to your phone before you try to reply.]

Don't worry so much about me, I promise I'm fine. It wasn't that much of a fall, you know. I'm only going out for class today so I shouldn't be out too late. Try not to take those news reports so seriously, unc--

[A pause. It seems the speaker has realized their mistake with a low sigh.]

I suppose that's what happens when you have a number stuck in your mind.
argents: (my pride in the ground)

( audio for now i may action you later )

If you're seeing this—or, well, hearing it, it's not really safe for you to listen to a lot of news sources right now. It doesn't sound like it makes much sense, but trust me.

Did you get hurt or something?
argents: that bind us together, forever. (Default)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-16 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
It's enough to make anyone feel tense. That's probably why he's worried about you. [ Her voice was nice to listen to, gentle. If that was any indication, he could understand why someone would be more worried than usual. ] What you're connected to right now is a way to communicate with other people who've experienced something. Something they can't really explain.

There's a way to read the backlog, if you want. But it's not so pleasant.
argents: (i was king)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-16 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's like a forum, almost. You can check back over previous entries that people made. The easiest way is probably on a computer, or a phone, but there's not really a limit on how you can access it. I think I broadcast from a piano, once.

[ Granted, that wasn't his number, but it didn't change the fact. He pauses, as if he's mulling. ]

And yeah, like deja vu. But deeper than that.
argents: (in a happy home)

[ Initially, the sudden cold dive into recollection surprises him into silence. People had been increasingly wary with the tensions rising, even if the network was meant for more than reinforcing distrust, he's sure. It was the one thing that linked them together, against all other odds.

It's quiet in the library, but he still strains to listen to the quiet cadence of her speech. Imagine the feeling of vivid weightlessness, of having the earth pulled from underneath his feet, unable to stop, when the outcome would have to end in...
]

And then you felt it, right? That feeling like a heartbeat, like that's all there is inside you. Until you realize that what rushed in to take its place was important to you, somehow. Not like something new that you were given, but something that you were missing.

[ Like it was something returned. A piece that threw all the rest of them out of order.

What he leaves out is the uncertainty that initially accompanied it, that sent a chisel and hammer to the foundations of his life which he had no clue were so fragile until they were broken.
]

I'm the same way. No matter what I try to remember on my own, it doesn't work. [ Though serious, a smile seeps into his voice. ] So if it's weird, it's weird for the both of us.
argents: (they told me)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-21 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
You're definitely not alone. [ He couldn't promise much out of the situation, save that one thing. But she seemed to be taking it better than the majority, and he finds it easy to draw from that. ] You mentioned moving here, right?
argents: that bind us together, forever. (Default)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-22 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So you go to LCU, then. Did you move here recently, or?
argents: ('cause we both know)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-26 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
If you moved from somewhere like the suburbs, or even more rural than that, the city can be a different beast all together.

[ Though if anything, that bit of information has caused him to perk up, even with only audio to go by. ]

I know this must seem like a weird welcoming committee, but if you ever wanted a tour around, I wouldn't mind. [ ...Now he hopes he hasn't come off like a creep, because this network wasn't exactly the most normal of venues. He quickly amends: ] I mean, I've lived here all my life, so... it might be a nice distraction from all of this.

Or homework, if you have a lot of that.
argents: (who wants to wrap)

[ Oh jeez now he's done it. The small stretch of silence (that is definitely not as bad as he thinks it is) nearly has his heart making a mad break for it via his throat. Valiantly, he resists the urge to smash his face down on the table—though there might be the sound of a shuffle where he wanted to... ]
argents: don't you worry now. (don't you worry child)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...but another laugh wasn't what he was expecting as a follow-up to the aforementioned silence, and he stares at his phone momentarily, mortified for all of the five seconds it takes to pick himself back up. ]
argents: (and my father said)

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-27 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's not what I meant at all! Sorry, if that's what you thought, um...

[ Banagher just blurts it out, even when she's already accepted. Usually he has zero problems talking to girls, what is this?! ]
argents: (chasing relentlessly)

ok done.

[personal profile] argents 2013-04-27 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay no, she's asking a question. Focus, Banagher. ]

Mm, I go there, but it's just twice a week for entry level courses. I have an engineering lab on Tuesdays, and calculus on Thursdays. The rest of the week I have classes at the high school until noon, and I work at the public library around that.

It's a lot less busy than it sounds, though. ...How about you?
