@ZD
Yo! I'm not in right now. Leave me a message.


((OOC: Zell may show messages to Jim Hawkins. If you do not want Jim to see/know, then please let me know.))

[ Will they be there when he gets there? Will he be walking into a trap? ]

Everything's fine.

[ Everything is actually red-alert, not-a-drill, not fine, but Jim can't just say that. ]

Other than the dying.

[ There it is. Zell - if it is Zell, if none of this is a trick - knows him too well; of course he would spot something wrong. Jim sucks in a breath and lets out an explosive sigh, hands hovering over the keyboard. ]

Because I don't want to give too much away.

Location. Weaknesses.

[ Even now he can't bring himself to ignore Zell or put much effort into a lie, so he gets the truth, however careful it is. ]

Anyone could be listening. I could be talking to anyone.

[ He is PERFECTLY FINE and all of this TOTALLY MAKES SENSE, okay. ]

How would I know?

[ About Zell or the MN poisoning. ]

They can make us see or think whatever they want. This could be a trick to get me to give up my secrets.

[ Does he? The real Zell - the actual Zell - knows most of them. There are some that he's held back, the ones that are too ugly to see daylight, but Zell does know more than anyone. ]

So prove it.

[ Jim watches in silence, studying every familiar inch of Zell as it's revealed. It looks real. It all looks real. But he's not showing the mark...? ]

You died. After I drew that, you died.

[ He knew, alright, but - ]

You died.

[ Jim's voice is cracking, the tell-tell hitch of tears evident. ]

You died, and they saw your body, Zell.

[ It calms him down, and Jim hates that it calms him down. He isn't turning on video, but he does press his face to the screen - his voice is louder when it comes through, the hitches in his breath more obvious. ]

Any of that could have been fake. This could be fake.

[ The video switches on and Zell is met with Jim's face, shocked and nakedly showing all the hurt he was trying to hide with the layer of text between them.

He's at a loss for words, no answer coming to him except the vague unease that's taken up residence in his chest.

He wasn't careful enough, though, and Zell can probably make out the hospital stairwell around him. ]

[ The high school. It's a warren of rooms, many of them confusing and scary, and so easy to be set up as a trap.

Jim's eyes dance over the tablet, studying Zell's face for something - some tell of who he's talking to, what he's planning. ]


I'm coming back to the bunker.

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2018-07-31 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Why?

[ Jim's voice is too sharp, raspy from what he'd been doing before he got the nerve to make this call. He clears his throat, and tries to sound more normal; it's not very successful. He's talking too fast. ]

We still need to see what we turned on. Just - go back and do that.

[ There's a long pause between messages, maybe long enough for Zell to think Jim's given up on the conversation entirely.

In the hospital, he's pacing loud enough to echo in the quiet halls, weighing the options and the fear until he comes up with something that might - might make it work.

The audio clicks back on. ]


You first.
