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.

Well, I'm not promising you crap until you stop talking to me like you think I'm some dumb kid.

[ ...Okay, yes, you've got her there. But at least it sounds like this girl understands what a bad idea this would be. ]

Age has nothing to do with it. But I'm sorry. I'm just irritable. Teamwork is not really a common skill around here.

[ There's a pause on her end, like hearing someone else acknowledge that they're frustrated is enough to help her remember that she is, too. This isn't like the hospital - or, at least, she doesn't want it to be.

When she responds, it's with less heat. ]

Teamwork's all we had left at home. [ Well. ] Teamwork, and fighting off everyone who didn't wanna work together.

[ Honestly, this girl reminds Steph of herself. It's probably a bad sign that that's irritating. ]

It's our best chance at survival. But we've got a lot of really stubborn, determined people that don't really know each other, and a lot of them have awful people skills.
