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.

[doomcame]

Where were you before here?

[She's trying to piece together whether this is survival-related or gang-related?? Why does everyone have guns, indeed.]

[littlemissfutility]

Atlanta. Where were you?

[doomcame]

New Jersey. Do you remember how you got here?

[littlemissfutility]

No. It kind of sounds like no one does.

[doomcame]

Could be a form of mass hysteria... mass amnesia? Brought on my whatever traumatic experience brought us all here.

[Taissa is still grasping for an answer that she can explain. Something grounded, something real.]

We just have to keep our heads on straight until we're rescued.

[littlemissfutility]

Or they took us while we were unconscious.

[ A pause, and then, tentative: ]

You don't really think someone's gonna rescue us, do you?

[doomcame]

I can't be the only one who'll be noticed missing.

[Taissa hasn't given much thought to this being a kidnapping. It makes the puzzle larger, adds more missing pieces. And the amount of control she has much less. She doesn't like it.]

Why do you think someone would want to take us? Dawn again?

[littlemissfutility]

Dawn's not that powerful. Her people can kidnap you into cars, not onto islands.

[ Ask her how she knows, et cetera. ]

Nobody at home could do this. You'd have to have a - a helicopter or something.

[doomcame]

If it was a helicopter, we'd have to be waking up and not washing up at different times. Otherwise somebody would have heard it. I think if we're being brought here, there must be a boat involved.

[littlemissfutility]

A boat'd be easier. You wouldn't need gasoline for it. And if they drugged us on the way, it'd explain a lot.

[ Ugh. ]

[doomcame]

A boat's easier for us to steal too, if we can ever catch them bringing in new people.

not here!!

[ Why does everyone have guns?? Are you kidding? Why don't you have one? ]
