001 ♦ Jesse Finch ♦ Audio

So I've got three guesses as to what this is right now. [ The voice that comes through the communicator is quiet and calm. The undertone to this voice, however, is not at all -- there's a hint of panic and a whole lot of anger underneath. ] One, I traveled back in time to land in some Twilight Zone-Silent Hill bullshit. Two, I've finally cracked and I've gone insane, which, y'know, could be worse, my brain coulda put me in somewhere much more terrifying than a room with a camera -- or three, I'm dreaming. [ Which is what he's afraid of. There's a beat, and then the sound of a lighter being flicked on, a cigarette being lit. ]

Watch, m'just talking to myself. I don't even know if anybody's out there. [ It's been an hour and he hasn't seen anybody yet, after all, though to be fair he hasn't gone very far. He's waiting. Come get him, nightmare. He's not scared of you. ]

S'what I've been hearing, yeah. Yer better off not knowing what Silent Hill is, but you never heard of Twilight Zone? [ Here, let him hum the theme song. ]

[ There's a long silence where she doesn't respond, and if anyone could see her they would know that the eyebrow being raised is very unimpressed.

As it is she's just on audio, and she has to clear her throat rather pointedly instead. ]

No, I haven't heard of 'Twilight Zone'. Is that relevant?

[ WUTEVA she's just jealous of Jesse's humming. Totally. He laughs, though. ] Nah, it ain't really, I guess, just seems weird t'me. You live under a rock or something your whole life?

I mean, maybe it is relevant. Other dimensions swallowing you up and pulling you through, that kinda thing.

[ Okay, that does sound somewhat relevant. Shame Peggy still doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. ]

Quite a similar thing seems to be happening here, you're right. What exactly is Twilight Zone? Perhaps it could help her escape.

[ Shut up Jesse they didn't even have Twilight Zone in the 1940s. ]

Uh, well. It's a TV show, for one. [ He's totally amused. ] Dunno if it'd actually be good for helping escaping, yeah? Never saw enough of it t'really have a plan of attack for, y'know. Escaping pocket dimensions or whatever shit -- I dunno if we're even in another dimension, is this Earth?
