[01] Voice

I...think I've figured this thing out, at least I hope so. It's working, right? Hello? Is anyone there? My name is Marco Bodt and it'd be really great to hear from someone else. I'm not really a big fan of talking to myself, you see...

I thought I was fairly good at finding my way around but I managed to get myself lost. Really lost. I don't even know for how long...and I've a lot of questions, but I'm not even sure I'd understand the answers if I manage to get any. Everything about this place...I just don't get it. I'd think I was dreaming or dead, but if that were the case I wouldn't feel hungry or thirsty, right?

_{[And boy is he feeling hungry and thirsty. He's barely eaten anything the past couple of days aside from a few things he took when he ended up wandering through the gardens.]}

A little help would be appreciated, really. Or a lot. A lot of help would be just as swell.

[ right, so let's try this again ]

Marco. [ his voice definitely sounds as shaken as he is and there's nothing he can do to change that. ]

Hey...

Ah, Jean?!

_{[There's surprise in his voice, followed by immediate relief, although there's an obvious unease undercoating his words.]}

You're here too? Where are you? Are you all right?

[ He's really struggling not to lose it here. He was gonna be a big kid about it all—mature. Too bad his voice shakes despite how much he wills it to not. ]

Y, yeah. Yeah, I am. How are— [ Focus, Jean. Focus. ]

You said you were hungry and thirsty?

Ah, yeah...are you?

_[Pause.]

Are you sure you're okay...you don't sound okay, Jean.

What? I'm fine. Just Peachy. [ It comes out a bit rushed and he knows he's just raising all sorts of flags. ]

But never mind about me, how dumb do you have to be lost for days?

Anyone can get lost in a place they're unfamiliar with, Jean.

There are ways of figuring out where you are. Did you at least find where your room is?

I managed to once...but I haven't been back there since.

What's your room number? You could take one of the lifts back to your room, or at least in that general area.

[ He thinks. Honestly, getting around this place is still a huge mystery for him. ]

153, I think? ...How long have you been here, Jean? It really sounds like you know you way around already.

Oh, that's near mine. [ He's starting to finally calm down. ]

Not too long, probably a week or so but I had someone fill me in with how things works around here.

Ah, is it? _{[How lucky!]} And that was lucky. I haven't really run into anyone yet.

Yeah. I'm at 157.

I'm not too sure about lucky; the guy was pretty...full of himself. [ or obnoxious. not quite sure if he should be saying that publicly though. ]
