003 ~ Network; Audio ~ Just Another Phone Call

[brotherofagod]

[Jake isn't good at this sort of thing but he's going to try his best.]

Hey, this is Jake, Jacob to anyone who isn't a fan of nicknames.

My um... I-Pod showed up on my doorstep and I know I had mentioned it to a few people. Not sure how long the battery will last but if anyone wants to check it out, let me know.

And I guess let me know if you don't know what an I-Pod is... I can try and explain it. It lets me listen to music, so anyone interested in music from my world. It's mostly classic rock.

[This place is weird.]

Anyway, that's all. Thanks... all, I guess.


[ooc note: Jacob will be attacked by the bear a day or so after this, so if anyone wants to find his ipod and give it back to him, pm me or hit up my plotting post for the event.]

[soulsword]

How intriguing. It just appeared with no explanation?

[brotherofagod]

Yeah. Can't say I'm upset about it but it's strange.

[soulsword]

I wonder how. Or why. It seems like such a strange thing to appear.

[brotherofagod]

Same but I'm not sure who to ask.

Maybe they're just trying to keep us calm? I think Caelan mentioned that he had a violin show up at his door.

[soulsword]

If that is the case, is it really wise to accept gifts meant to appease us?

Private

[brotherofagod]

Do you think it can really hurt?

[He pauses and then switches the phone to private.]

What if it's something I need? You think it's bad? I actually... don't know. I don't want to accept it. I know where it leads. [He has personal experience accepting gifts from kidnappers and how it can turn out.] I just don't know.

I need a second opinion and I like yours.

Private

[soulsword]

Gifts have prices, especially ones that come from mysterious locations. How did this place know you wanted that back?

Private

[brotherofagod]

I told a few people. It wasn't much of a secret.

[Jacob pauses awkwardly.]

Do you think it's a price I can pay? If this is something I need... I guess that sounds really stupid, doesn't it?

Private

[soulsword]

Then someone is observing us. [ That was something uncomfortable to take note of. ]

I suppose you will not know until they ask the price of you.

Private

[brotherofagod]

True.

Well, if they ask, I'll let you know what it is.
