- * Dia stares dumbfoundedly at the broken machine. She's no fixer, and probably never will be. Technology is not really her thing.
- * `Mia yawns tiredly as that sleep really did her in..
- * Dia doesn't even know what's wrong with it!
- <[GM]Wardenclyffe> [It's pretty hot today but the car is parked in the shade; no sounds come from nearby though the ever present drone that the city has refuses to ever leave. It doesn't seem like the others will be back any time soon.]
- <Dia> Um...
- <Mia> Yes?
- <Dia> You can fix car yes?
- <Dia> I cannot fix car. Too hard.
- * Dia add the denying gesture for more effect.
- * `Mia shakes her head.
- <`Mia> I don't have the tool necessary to assist such repairs.
- <Dia> We go get new car, then.
- <Dia> umu. decided.
- <`Mia> Where are we going to do that?
- * Dia nods.
- <Dia> ...Search?
- <[GM]Wardenclyffe> [You hear a strange sort of murmur in the air, though you can't tell where from. It's kind of weak and difficult to make out.]
- <`Mia> Very well.. b---...can you hear something?...
- <Dia> Car noise?
- * Dia move towards that noise ASAP.
- <`Mia> Be ready for anything Dia...
- <Dia> Anything?
- * Dia is careless!
- <[GM]Voice> Psst, come on... you can hear me, can't you? You should, you know...
- <Dia> not car noise, I think.
- * Dia still heading towards the noise.
- <[GM]Voice> C'mon, you... I won't know if you don't say anything.
- * `Mia loads her gun..she peers around, warily.
- <`Mia> Reaveal yourself...
- <[GM]Voice> I would, but... there are things in the way. You know?
- <Dia> ?
- <Dia> Where's the car?
- * Dia asks the voice.
- <Dia> We want car that runs.
- <`Mia> I do not know where you are if you don't tell us where to go.
- <[GM]Voice> Oh, dear... did something happen to that cute car? And brass worked so hard to get it for you too... Hm? Where I am? In another building... maybe.
- <Dia> Where building?
- * Dia looks around.
- <[GM]Voice> Now, now... I said maybe. Means, maybe I'm a civilian, in a building next to yours, trapped in the city along with you. Maybe I'm MET, having a tea time chat with you for those... brass starred clowns.
- <[GM]Voice> Or maybe, I'm not here at all. Maybe I'm just in your heads...
- <Dia> ?
- <`Mia> Maybe i shouldn't talk to it then. Maybe I shouldn't have such witty replies to it either.
- * Dia rummage for a painkiller, just in case.
- <Dia> Oh well. You are not useful.
- * Dia disregards the noise and go look for working car on her own.
- <[GM]Voice> I'm sorry to hear that. Even so, ignoring me won't get you what you want. You've got to be a bit cleverer, to get what you want...
- * Dia hold her pace.
- <Dia> ...You can give me what, noise?
- <[GM]Voice> Ah, now... Don't you know what you want? Sure you do.
- <[GM]Voice> All of you, at that. Don't we all know it?
- <`Mia> Speak in riddles and none of the help you get, speak some more and help you shall recieve.
- <Dia> I know what I want. but what you can give I?
- <Dia> different thing.
- <[GM]Voice> Right you are. Both of you who talked. Even then, what would it do for you to give me anything when I can't give you what you want? You don't want anything that just about anyone can give...
- <[GM]Voice> To see the sky, the ocean, just like you used to. To get out of the red line, back to a world you know you'll see differently and yet still want to return to. To be with... him. Would I happen to be wrong?
- <Dia> ....
- <`Mia> Spoken right, you have. But waste our time, do not. Speak clearly sir.
- <Dia> ...I need Ray and nothing else.
- * `Mia goes towards the building they were instructed to go into.
- <[GM]Voice> ...Speak clearly, eh? Funny you should say that. How straightforward are you?
- <[GM]Voice> [Mia: The voice gets dimmer as you go further away.]
- <`Mia> ...
- * `Mia turns back..
- <`Mia> As straight as a lesbian...
- * Dia clearly cannot grasp the situation around her and is now being panicking.
- <[GM]Voice> Heh heh... you'd think. But listen to yourself right now.
- * Dia down some Paracetamol.
- <`Mia> I am looking for car, and dealing with a disembodied voice with some semblance of fatigued and my comrades missing. What else am I missing here?
- <Dia> If only Ray is here... he tell me thing I must do...
- <[GM]Voice> How is that man doing, anyway? He's a tad frail, and little paper birds tell me that he can be insensitive, but he's still well loved. At least you'd think so, from the looks of him going into town...
- * Dia Grab Mia's arms and hug it. Her insecurity rapidly rises.
- * `Mia sighs.
- <`Mia> So, what will you have us do then? You voice clearly points to nowhere.
- <[GM]Voice> Oh, no... I just wanted to talk with you, see how you were doing... Far as I can tell, what I really want is still in the capable hands of the man you're escorting.
- <Dia> Ray?
- <`Mia> What do you desire from him?
- <[GM]Voice> Now now... I won't hurt him, I won't take anything from him, I won't even interfere with his work. I'm just... looking.
- <Dia> Mia, Mia! The noise is scary! Don't listen to it!
- * Dia shakes!
- <`Mia> Then why?
- <[GM]Voice> Now, now... just when did this conversation become about me?
- * Dia close her ears!
- * Dia close her eyes and mouth too for good measure!
- <`Mia> Know they enemy, and then everything else falls together.
- * `Mia takes a deep breath.. just. where is this person?...
- <[GM]Voice> Oh. Let me be perfectly clear here. I'm not your enemy.
- * Dia do not listen!
- <`Mia> Who said you were my enemy? if you are not in my group you are firstly an enemy.
- * Dia eventually calm the fuck down.
- <Dia> fuh...
- <[GM]Voice> [Listening very closely, over time, you can tell that the voice is coming out of the car's radio.]
- <Dia> It is not ghost, huh...
- * Dia catch the source of the noise that she didn't notice before due to being freaked out.
- <Dia> Mia, Mia. Radio!
- <`Mia> ...
- <`Mia> ..oh..my...lord...
- <[GM]Voice> Now, that's a dangerous state of mind for- huh?
- * `Mia facepalms.
- * `Mia goes over to the radio.
- <Dia> You talk. I not good with talk.
- <[GM]Voice> ...Ah. Shucks.
- <`Mia> ..Talk.
- * `Mia is growing irritated with said voice.
- <[GM]Voice> ...Talk? You sound sick of me doing that.
- <`Mia> Who are you and what is your objective here concerning us?
- <[GM]Voice> It's odd you of all people should ask that. You should know exactly who I am, considering you saw me... recently. It's all too obvious you're sick of hearing me, though, so I'll just let you know one thing: I'm not your enemy. You won't need to worry, though; you won't hear from me.
- <[GM]Voice> Keep up the good work! And now that we're through all of that, please put your hands together for... Fess Williams and his Orchestra!
- <[GM]Voice> [The radio channel immediately switches over to a recording of a cheerful jazz tune, the kind designed for dancing.]
- <Dia> .............?
- <Dia> in end, he did not help finding cars...
- <[GM]Radio> ...At the dance, I was in a trance, 'leven thirty Saturday night...
- <[GM]Radio> In my arms I held a world of charms, 'leven thirty Saturday night...
- * `Mia groans in pain..
- <`Mia> Oh.. my.. GOD..
- <Dia> Let's go!
- * Dia sling a gun over her shoulder. She prioritize objective!
- <Dia> Get good car, come back, go to Ray! In that order!
- * Dia marches!
- * `Mia nods.
- <`Mia> Someone is watching us though...
- <Dia> We do thing we told to do. We good.
- * Dia nods.
- <`Mia> Very well then.. lets go find our Raymond.
- * `Mia smiles like usual.
- <`Mia> ...and our car parts.
- * Dia scout the area for a wroking car. She don't know what part of the car is broken, so yeah!
- <Dia> *doesn't
- <`Mia> Our boiler is stabbed and leaking beyond repair, we must find something similar to that.
- <Dia> A...what, water tank?
- * Dia eventually looted a rundown car for similiar stuff. She then present it to Mia.
- <Dia> There.
- * `Mia looks..
- <`Mia> it looks.. salvageable.
- * `Mia nods.
- <`Mia> come.. we'll need to carry it back to the car.
- <Dia> Aye.
- * Dia wasshoi wasshoi!
