[There's a sound like a rustle as the device is turned on, as if whoever has it is holding it too close to their face. The voice sounds furious.]

Stephen, I swear to fucking Christ -- if he's put you up to this I'm going to fucking kill you. Where the hell am I?

Matt?

[noracingstripes]

No. My name's Brendan.

[He sounds a little calmer now.]

Who is this?

[x_whitewings_x]

Alright.

Eve.

[noracingstripes]

You - [A pause, as he tries to figure out how to word this.] You knew someone called Matt?

[successeur]

I presume that someone has informed you, by this point, that you are in Disturbia City.

[noracingstripes]

...

Near. What the fuck is this? What's going on?

[[screened | unhackable]]

[successeur]

I should inform you from the beginning that I am likely not the Near you know.

[[screened | unhackable]]

[noracingstripes]

But you're still Near.

[So, more likely than anyone to know what the hell this is all about.]
