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

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.]

[She laughs, even if the news isn't altogether comforting. The stability of history and its uncanny knack of repeating itself doesn't seem to apply here.

Unless we count eyestabbings, which hasn't happened yet at this point. But just to disprove her, it will!]

You've been so helpful. Shall I see you around, then?

[Evelyn extends her hand for one last shake - because propriety is important no matter the situation.]

[ Philip accepts the polite gesture with all the enthusiasm of somebody who will never be able to extend his right hand again. Oh narration, but what a silly, silly comparison that is... ]

I hope so.

[ Shake, shake, sha-- Oh, right! ]

Um, have--

[ Step back. ]

Have a good day then.

Thank you, the same to you.

[With a polite nod and another grateful smile, Evelyn gives him a short wave - because she won't be crippled in a few days' time - and makes her way out of the parlour.]
