Crystal Voice Open to all

[madesacrifices]

[Natasha shakes the crystal for a minute before figuring out that it was what she was supposed to use to talk to people. It might've helped if she read the note before picking up the damn thing, but Nat was Nat and she was so tired of playing by everyone else's rules. She rubbed her head to stave the headache that was starting to form]

Is this thing on?

I'm going to assume it is before I throw it through the nearest window.

[Deep breath]

Sorry, it's been a long day. I could use a change of clothes and some food. Oh, I'm Natasha.

[She'll worry about how to get out of here after she's eaten.]

[Steve paused when he heard the voice at first. He'd been working on looking over some paperwork with ideas on them when that voice came through again. And that's when he ran to the table where the crystal had been idly sitting.]

Nat? Nat is that you?

[Did he dare hope? So he swiftly picked his own green crystal up, not bothering to tell her about the phone right now.]

Don't throw this out the window. Just tell me where you are, and I'm headed there right now.

It would be better if you held onto the phone but if you do throw it, you can swing by the Gullwing office.

We have some information about the city there.

I don't know...

Hello, Natasha! I'm Arkady. [ She pauses ] Why would you throw it through a window?

[chaosvessel]

It is.

[He's not normally so helpful, but he's been in situations like this before. Having support helps.]

There's a tavern. I could show you.

[somewhereintime]

[There was a slight laugh.]

You're not hallucinating Nat.

[At the pause, he shook his head.]

People usually show up at the fountain, I think it's some sort of portal. But just stay where you are, I'll be right there.
