3. The shrieking of nothing is killing [Audio]

[fireinherheart]

[Shaz sounds incredibly distraught.]

Is-- [She cuts herself off for a second and then takes such a deep breath it's audible.] The fog. I've seen a few things about it on the journal but...I don't...does anyone hear screaming coming out of it? And...is it real? Has anyone been found in it? I just don't....nothing else has been real so far but this

[action, since Jack lives in C4]

[The pirate is emerging from C4 after once again deciding that he can't stay in his apartment. Too many cannibals in there.]

Oh. Shaz, love! What's a lovely catlike wench such as yourself doing out in all this mist?

[fireinherheart]

[Shaz doesn't register him at first because she's listening to the fog, her fists clenched and looking rather distressed.]

What?

[She turns to look at him.]

Jack. Do you hear that?

[action]

[lists_to_port]

The wild drumming of cannibals? Not to worry about that, love--I've locked them up tight in my place.

[action]

[fireinherheart]

Cannibals? I was thinking about the screaming. From the fog. I suppose you can't hear it? [Cold. Shaz folds her arms across her chest and holds her upper arms in an attempt to warm up.] Does that mean it's not real, or does it mean I'm the only one who can hear him...

[count_gardios]

My advice is to stay indoors, Shaz. This place tends to play with your mind in the worst way.

[fireinherheart]

So it could...it might just be a longer kind of hallucination?

[count_gardios]

Something definitely experiment-related.

[fireinherheart]

But...what if the experiment's to see what someone will do when someone they love's in danger?

[phasingly]

[Oh, she's worried for you.] I-I don't hear anything, actually. But everyone's saying it's way dangerous to go in there.

[fireinherheart]

It sounds dangerous in there. But what if they really have been dropping new people right into the middle of it?
