[For a few moments, there's nothing but faint shuffling noises. Then:]

Is it on? Oh thank fuck somebody help, I'm- oh fuck-

[There's a thud, followed several minutes of swearing and ragey noises.]

Goddammit, just get me out of this thing ARGHRHGH-

[It goes on for like that for a while.]

You okay? What's going on?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

NO I AM NOT OKAY I AM TIED UP IN THIS FUCKING THING AND MY PHONE FELL AND I CAN'T EVEN

[Enjoy some more incoherent rage-filled screeching.]

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Calm the fuck down, jesus.

So what, you just need someone to come over and cut you loose? Where are you?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

I REFUSE TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THIS KIND OF SHIT IN MY OWN ROOM ON A FUCKING SATURDAY MORNING!!!

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

[[turning the volume down on his phone jesus]]

And if you don't calm the fuck down you'll be putting up with it far longer.

And letting the whole world know that you've got a problem.

NO ONE'S GOING TO HEAR MY MOM'S OUT VISITING HER SISTER WHY DO YOU THINK I HAD TO CALL YOU FUCKHEADS?!

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Pretty sure the whole neighborhood can hear you right now.

Did you want help or not?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

YES I WANT HELP GODDAMMIT

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Then stop fucking screaming and tell me where the hell you are.

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

I'M AT HOME IN MY ROOM WHERE ELSE WOULD I BE

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Like I know where your fucking house is?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

I THINK RYAN'S COMING OVER TO HELP ANYWAY?!?

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Then why are you still yelling?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

BECAUSE THE PAPOOSE IS NOT GONE YET

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

...what the hell kind of world is the other you from that you flashbacked up something like that.

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

A REALLY FUCKED UP ONE

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

And a really loud one, jeeze...

So are we talking straight jacket type bullshit or like a cocoon?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Okay, maybe complaining about the loudness can get Alan to quiet down a little. A little.]

More like the former. It looks really makeshift, like just some ripped up pieces of cloth.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

[[oh thank goodness, his poor abused ears can stop ringing]]

Huh. That's... kinda weird. Most stuff people get back is something made proper, not improvised or anything.

This shit's messing with you or something...

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

I think I was tied up in it in one of my memories. I guess that makes it relevant to the echo-granting powers that be or whatever's causing all this.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

I guess.

What was going on in that flashback that you got wrapped up?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

Uh, I was being carried by a friend. And someone was coming at us with swords. It was just a really brief flash more than a real memory.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Huh.

Maybe the other you got kidnapped and your friend was rescuing you and didn't have time to cut you loose?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

That would make sense. More sense than anything else, at least.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Which means it's probably 100% wrong since when does this stuff make sense.
