003 | phone [backdated to thursday night]

[There's no picture, but you can hear a lot of heavy breathing coming from this kid. It takes him a bit until he manages to speak up.]

I... I... W-What should I do?

[And that's all he has to say.]

What's wrong? Do you need any help?

[Scared kids are never a good thing...]

Just like... Just like everyone else. I feel like I'm being watched.

I just... heard howling like everyone else said, and then...

[There's a long pause here. No, he doesn't want to recall that.]

...I'm S-scared. What should I do?

Edited 2013-05-13 04:06 (UTC)

Just try to stay calm.

Whatever it is...I don't think it can hurt you. It hasn't hurt anyone else.

[Not yet, anyway. Not now.]

[And he'll just take deep breaths here before he continues.]

But... that's not the only thing.

Something else happened? Do you need help?

Um... you mentioned about getting weird memories last time, right?

I saw... or remembered something... I can't say I like what I saw.

[He sounds shaken upon mentioning it.]

It's okay if you don't want to talk about it.

[Oh, he understands that. He understands quite well. There is nothing but understanding in his voice.]

It's not uncommon to remember something that you'd really rather not, I guess.

It was scary.

I just... I... Someone saved me, and yet...

[Someone better change the topic. He wasn't exactly prepared to see that anyway.]

It's okay--you don't need to talk about it if you don't want to.

[There's a pause. Hajime knows that getting the kid's mind on something else might be for the best.]

You should put the TV on channel 89. The infomercial they have on is terrible.

[Come, Lucas, watch the horrible late night TV Hajime has been subjecting himself to in order to get some sleep.]

[Well that doesn't sound ominous or anything.]

What's going on?

I... I heard it. Just like everyone else.

You mean the howling?

Right.

I wouldn't be too bothered about it but then... I feel scared for some reason. And then... what I saw, didn't even help.

... What did you see?

...You know how everyone else got these weird flashbacks?

[He'll take in one deep breath before he begins his story.]

I think... I was in a forest. The whole surrounding was... kind of dark, but I could make out the trees' shadows. And then there was this monster. It looked like... some sort of green dinosaur, but it has some mechanical parts on its body too. It was chasing after us. Me, another kid, and a lady in red. I don't know who they were, but... something tells me I should know them.

And then we stopped near the river. There was no where else for us to go. And that... that thing caught up on us!

That thing was about to attack us, when suddenly... that lady pushed us into the river waters. She... she saved us, but in the end... that lady... she...

[He shuddered. It was a terrible scene. He could hear her screams echoing in his ears right after he was thrown into the river.]

[wait that's a child and he sounds vaguely familiar.]

Are you all right? What happened?

I... I heard them... I heard them, and then I saw something.

[Julien switches to audio. His voice is pitched lower than in conversation, softer.]

You heard the howling? What did you see?

Yeah, I did.

I... I already told someone else what I saw. I... don't think I want to remember all of that again.

That's okay. You had a vision?

[[Have a rare voice reply from Bakura! He's worried enough for it!]]

What happened? Are you all right?

[[The 'did you need help and who do I have to beat up' are implied.]]

F-Fine... Just...

[He'll just take in really deep breaths right now.]

Just upset?

What happened?

Chills, howling, and then... a sudden flashback. A-And a scary one at that.

[[the sound of shifting might be heard in the background. Bakura's settling in]] Did you want to talk about it?

I already told someone about it.

[He's explained it once, and that's it.]

Not something you want to repeat? Don't blame you. We can chat about something else, if you'd like. Just to get your mind off it.

Yeah.... Y-Yeah, that'd be good.

So, tell me what games you play. [[Because he can be on this topic all night]]

Well, Dad let me keep his Nintendo, along with some pretty good side-scrollers. That's what I mostly play.

[Ohh, dear, that's such a small and distressed voice to be hearing at this time of the night, and even after all the assurance she's picked up, she hasn't been able to stop worrying about monsters coming for her or her masters, or happening on the kids by bad luck...

She plants her hooves and leans intently into her water trough just in case she doesn't come through or anything escapes her.]

Whatever is going on?

You're not in any horrible trouble -- I certainly hope!

[Her tone is of all things impatient. Mostly for a "No, I'm not." Hurry on up with a reassuring answer!]

[...Wait, is that a talking pony?

He'd be even more surprised, but no, he's too stunned about the weird flashback he had earlier.]

I'm fine... I'm fine...

Edited 2013-05-14 18:11 (UTC)

Well, isn't that a relief.

Really? Absolutely taken care of now? Nothing to do with, shall we say, monsters, was it?

Sort of...

[A sigh here. He's trying to calm down at the moment.]

I... can't say for sure about that. But after I heard the howling, I got this... weird flashback. A-And it definitely has a monster in it.

Edited 2013-05-16 17:15 (UTC)

So long as you're in no real danger -- a "flashback"? [That wording is not reassuring.] Whatever to?

N-No... I'm not in any danger at all. Thanks for your concern though...

[Lucas shakes his head.]

I've already told someone about it once. And... I don't feel like saying it again.
