Hello?

[ The voice is whispery right now, but it still sounds young and female. Enough talk, and some of the vowels might sound just a touch southern. ]

Is there anybody out there? Dawn? Is Dawn here?

[ A pause. ]

If someone's out there, I need help. And if whoever's out there doesn't wanna help - I'm armed.

[metalicarus]

Yeah, last guy who was armed got himself shot with his own gun, so don't cling too tightly to that.

No Dawn that I've heard on the air here, but it's a public comm. If there is, she'll hear it. You're likely pretty far from anyone who can help, so you might need to get creative quick.

[littlemissfutility]

I'm not gonna shoot myself. [ Wow, who are you, her dad? ]

Where am I?

[metalicarus]

He didn't shoot himself.

[Not to be mysterious about it but-]

No clue. An island. Long days, probably close to the equator, not that it narrows anything down. If we're kidnapped or captives, no one's said anything about what they want from us. Also there's plenty of stuff that might try to kill you here that isn't people.

[littlemissfutility]

What else is new?

[ Of course there's stuff out there that might kill them. The fact that she hasn't seen any walkers doesn't mean they aren't there.

After a moment: ]

What happened to the guy with the gun?

[metalicarus]

[That gets a snort from him and his tone turns a little less harsh.]

Yeah, I hear that.

He got too close to a cabin that had traps around it. Sounds like someone didn't like him poking around and used his own gun, but there's others who can tell you more, I wasn't there myself.

[littlemissfutility]

Oh.

[ See, that makes perfect sense. ]

Is it just one guy, or is he part of a group? The one with the cabin.

[metalicarus]

Sounds like it was just one, but there might be other people somewhere on this island too, not sure. Those ones seem less hostile, at least.

[littlemissfutility]

Where are they?

[metalicarus]

And that's the question of the month.

[littlemissfutility]

So everyone's just...wandering around, not knowing anything.

[metalicarus]

Welcome to this shitty island, it's been like a week and a half since the first of us woke up here and some of us still haven't met face-to-face.

[littlemissfutility]

Well, if it's pretty big, that makes sense. We're lucky we have walkie-talkies.

[metalicarus]

Yeah...lucky they washed up with or on us, some of us were even holding them when we did, which usually spells something bad, but maybe that's just the paranoia creping in.
