[Mu is standing in a fairly populated place on the Plane. His arms are crossed in front of him, but in one hand he's holding a relatively old, basic cell phone - the one that was given to him years ago by someone no longer on the Plane.]

I received a message several nights ago with potentially worrying contents. I'd like to know if I was the only one.

[The tone of his voice leaves no question as to where he thinks it came from.]

Comments

[as soon as she sees him holding the phone--a rather odd sight, considering who it is--she starts in his direction. she has a feeling she knows what he's here about, and his words only confirm that] You aren't the only one.

Was yours from our little mate Grey, too?

[lamb_of_gold]

[He's a bit surprised to see her, actually.]

It was, yes. Are you well enough to persue this?

[grip_on_reality]

[oh, not him too. she's finally back at work after the time off Turnbull forced her to take, and the other officers are still treating her like glass. she hates it]

[curtly] I'm fine. What was your message about?

[bit_impossible]

[the Doctor's own message is sitting in a forwarded voicemail on the mobile phone he has in his pocket. when he sees Mu with the very, very, very ancient phone (to him, anyway), he can't help stopping]

Hold on a mo', you got one as well?

[lamb_of_gold]

[2006 chic right here.]

From our friend in the shop, yes.

[bit_impossible]

[slow nod] I thought he sounded familiar. Bit difficult to be certain, though, considering the man sounded like he was having a psychotic break. [pulls out his phone and cues up the voicemail, holding the phone out to Mu]

[vengefulagent]

[Wash makes a beeline for Mu the moment he spots him. he wants to speak to him anyway, so it works!] If it involves receiving a message at an impossible time? Then yes, I got one too. It seems I started the security taskforce just in time.

[lamb_of_gold]

What do you suppose it means?

[vengefulagent]

I don't know if we got the same thing. To me, it sounded like one of the men in the shop had a friend in danger, someone named Marcellius. But he's...[trails off, unsure about the context of the next word]: "special" or something--and also can bring him to a cave for a confrontation.

Another puzzling thing is the fact that the message probably wasn't meant for me. There's someone else involved in all of this, with Grey, Marcellius, and someone Grey lost named Sammy.

[traitortwin]

[South usually isn't one to speak up, but this has been bothering the hell out of her for a while. So...]

... Yeah. I got a message, too.

[lamb_of_gold]

Oh? From our friend in the shop, I presume?

[traitortwin]

[She nods.] It was him, all right. But how did it happen? How did we get them, and at times that... aren't real?

[moveslikestrider]

[Dave appears to Mu's left, in the faintest whisper of sound.] You too?

[lamb_of_gold]

I and many others, it seems.

[moveslikestrider]

I knew this place seemed too good. [He mutters and whips out his Geartop, cranking the sound up before he hits play.] Mean anything to you?

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

[ Worried lamb is worried and today he is not far from his Master (and at least by this time, he knows his way around gadgets in general) -- ] Master, what's going on?

[lamb_of_gold]

Several of us received voice messages from the gentleman running the shop. They're quite worrying.

[not_a_lamb_nor_ram]

What did the messages say?

[bonnypiperlad]

I've not received anything like that. [Of course, he doesn't actually have a cell phone which would make that difficult anyway, but, details.]

What's it say?

[lamb_of_gold]

Many things, I'm afraid.

[Mu plays the messages for Jamie which I can't link to since computer is being a bum today :(]

Many things, and none of them good.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie's usual line of questioning is cut short by the content of the messages, and by the end, he's listening with a worried look on his face.]

Is there anything we can do about this?

[perfectpartner]

[He blinks.]

Mu? Is something wrong?

[lamb_of_gold]

Hello, Emil.

[For Emil, he can always spare a smile, as thin as it may be today.]

Nothing is immediately wrong, no. However these messages do bring with them a sense of foreboding.

[shotofsherry]

[ Ai, having not been on the Plane for awhile, shows up here. Her timing could not have been better either. ]

Was it a message from Grey?

[ ooc: This is... unbelievably late. /failure ]

is okay bby

[lamb_of_gold]

It was, yes.
