LV464J | Voice | Night 24

[solitarysoul]

[The voice that comes over the radio is quiet, since he's not sure if this area is safe, but matter of fact. This equipment had to be military, so while he's never used one he easily switches into a more official mode.]

Requesting information on location.

[He hesitates, then adds.]

I seem to be on a beach with white sand.

[ Maddy is a little confused. The voice sounds like it belongs to someone her age, but the content of the message doesn't sound like any teenager she knows.

She tries to help anyway. ]

Uh. Hey. I'm Maddy. [ She wracks her brain. She's not really very good at knowing what questions to ask that would help somebody in this kind of situation. But she tries. ]

Okay, so, like... besides the sand, what else is there?

[solitarysoul]

[She sounds much less 'official' than Randvi, but he's not ready to give up on the assumption that this was some sort of military or organizational network yet. It was much easier for him to act like it was than to try to suddenly talk to people he doesn't know and can't even see.]

Not really. There's the water but then...its just sand, but its white. Is that normal here?

[He's never really been to the ocean.]

[somethingintangible]

I mean.... like, I don't know. I guess it depends? Lots of beaches have white sand where I come from. It's not really that weird.

[ She hesitates. ]

But I don't know what's normal here. I don't think anybody on the radios does. Some guy told me there are locals, but they don't talk on these. Anybody who can talk to you on this isn't "from here."

[solitarysoul]

How many people are on these? Are you at the village too?

[somethingintangible]

[ Not mean, but blunt and maybe just slightly snotty: ] How should I know? Not everybody who has one of these uses it. [ Then she softens. ] And yeah. I'm at the village. It's safe here. They have soap.

[ Soap is Very Important to Maddy. ]

Are you good to get here by yourself, or do you need help? We can send somebody to get you. If you need it.

[solitarysoul]

[Blunt but snotty...he's dealt with superiors like that and immediately assumes she must be one too.]

I can travel. Are there hostiles or hazards I should be aware of?
