It Had to Be You, Log 1/??? [Audio]

[libraritology]

Hello?

[The audio crackles, buzzes into the correct tuning, and there's the click of a dial. A distinctive, very proper, English voice speaks over the comm unit. At least she's familiar with radio enough to manage this much.]

Is anyone there? This is...my name is Evelyn Carnahan, and this is not Cairo or Hamunaptra.

[A pause.]

I don't know where I am, and I was right in the middle of something very important, and this is exceedingly inconvenient. If someone could-

[Rustling noises.]

-if someone could please tell me what's going on, I need to find my brother, Jonathan, and our guide, Rick, as I was in the midst of an expedition, thank you, I'm in...I think it's a foyer.



...anyone?

[For those interested in seeing Evelyn in person, seeing as the last thing she can remember was falling into a river off of a boat, she's wearing a soaking wet nightgown. This. This will not stand. This is scandalous.]

It's all right. What was that other place you mentioned? Hamunaptra?

[He speaks a little too fast, and mangles the pronunciation a bit as a result.]

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

O-Oh, yes, Hamunaptra.

[Interesting non-sequitur, but one she's willing to take, regardless.]

The City of the Dead. It's where my expedition was headed.

[Awkwardness: dodged. Research opportunity: gained.]

Were you searching for anything in particular?

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

I was hoping to find The Book of Amun-Ra. It's other name is The Book of the Living; historians have denounced its existence, but I want to prove them wrong.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

Good for you.

[He's audibly sincere about this.]

Someone needs to dig this stuff up.

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

What sort of things have you been investigating, then?

[She flips through the pages of the book he gave her.]

Anything to do with the subjects in here?

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

Since coming here? I've been trying to figure out how this place works.

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

Any luck?

[Curiosity: Piqued.]

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

Not as much as I'd like. But I've got some data to go on.

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

Research is something of a speciality for me. I could perhaps help you...?

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

[Suddenly smiling at you~]

I'd be glad of it, thank you.

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

[She beams right back.]

Not at all! Anything to get familiar with this library.

[paper-knight.livejournal.com]

I'll leave you to it for now, but if you need anything--

[He pulls out his comm unit, a clunky looking device with a neat little set of typewriter keys, and shows her his channel.]

That's how you radio for me. And I live on the second floor, room three.

[libraritology.livejournal.com]

[She examines it curiously and nods, memorizing the channel.]

Thank you very much. You've been so helpful.
