[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.]

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.

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

Ugh, good point. It's probably going to be something completely stupid and needlessly convoluted. And most likely past me's own damn fault.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

The kind who always gets into trouble, huh? Big mouth, big ideas or combination of the two?

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

Both. As well as a really fucking terrible attitude.

[Voice]

[shiromadoushi]

Just the sort of person you wanna get memories from, huh? Sucks.

[Voice]

[wirsinddiejager]

You have no idea just how much it sucks.
