Tale 007 : Voices over static

Phone

[Henry was awakened by the sound of the radio. That's more than a little creepy. Wasn't there something about a carnival? He decides to try and talk to anyone ho might be up. Going to the kitchen he picks up the phone. People living at 754 partridge drive can interrupt him.]

H-hey...did anyone else hear that? Some man was talking about a carnival and something about codes and holes I think?

Holes? You heard holes?

[ Pffft. Formalities are for the weak. ]

IGNORE WHAT I POSTED IN YOURS!

[theboywiththebook]

I-I think. I'm not sure. It was all static and stuff. But I definitely heard carnival!

CAN DO! o7

He said something about escaping... holes might fit better than what I caught-- [ He's mulling things over in his head. ]

...Do you know anyone with a recorder?

Re: CAN DO! o7

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah...now that I think of it, I think it was holes. Either use them to escape or something like that. There was something about a carnival and that man on the radio, Grey something? He said "he's out to hurt you" or close to that. So maybe...who's ever running the carnival is the one Grey mentioned?

But...no I don't know anyone who might have one really.

[1_truth]

That's okay, I can work without one.

Escaping through holes? Are you absolutely sure? The human memory is only 66% accurate-which is why I prefer to write things down.

Grey... he might be the person who's name we match to Grey ABC.

Carnival... I don't think they could mean an actual carnival... though I won't write it off.. [ He's mumbling mostly to himself-trying to piece things together. ]

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah! I'm sure! There was something about holes and using them.

[Henry looks to a table nearby and picks up a pen and paper off it before writing what he remembers down.]

I know I heard something about a carnival, I'm sure of it.

[1_truth]

I'm not doubting you, any input you can give me will be of more help than you probably know... [ Back to contemplating ]

...

...Using the holes.. what kind of holes could you use?

[theboywiththebook]

...Maybe the sewers? Or mines.

[1_truth]

...Have you seen any sewers around?

[ Because come to think of it.. he's not sure that he has... ]

[theboywiththebook]

I'm not sure, but they're usually under the street, so if there's man hole covers than there's sewers.

[Obviously.]

[1_truth]

Unless the manhole covers are only decorations.

[theboywiththebook]

We'll never know until we try, right?

[1_truth]

That's the spirit. Just.. be careful.

[theboywiththebook]

I will, don't worry.
