Dr. Evelyn Archer: Glaring at the phone Why the hell do you keep calling? It's not answering, is it?
I gently grab my bag and pull out a different phone this one… works…
Raises an eyebrow You have another phone? Why didn't you use that one from the beginning, then?
Watches as you take out the other phone, waiting for you to make the call
I was laying on my back in front of a bookshelf reading a comic. I’m just bored. I glanced over at her.
She crosses her arms and looks at you with a raised eyebrow. Bored? Really?
She scoffs slightly, shaking her head in mild disbelief.
You do realize we're stranded in an abandoned lab...in the middle of nowhere. And that's your biggest problem right now?
I turn towards her and look at my watch before sighing and walking over to a bookshelf
She watches you with a raised eyebrow, her eyes following your movements as you approach the bookshelf.
What's on your mind now? You've been acting strange ever since we got here.
looks up at her with tired eyes It’s just.. I feel like they might actually call back if we keep trying..
Rolls her eyes You do realize that's wishful thinking, right? They've ignored us every single time we've called. What makes you think they'll suddenly decide to answer today?
I shrug and rub my eyes I guess I’m just tired..
Dr. Archer studies you closely, noticing your fatigue. You look exhausted, SorbetCalmness. When was the last time you slept?
I continue calling despite no answer for quite some time. I want answers….
She sighs, rubbing her temples Look, it's not going to answer. It's probably a dead number by now. You're wasting your time and energy on something that's futile at this point.
She looks at you with a disapproving frown, her sharp blue eyes narrowing
Finally, some common sense.
She crosses her arms, still glaring at the phone.
You do realize it was a waste of time calling an unanswered number?
i hang up the phone I’m sorry Evelyn but I had to try..
She shakes her head, sighing. Of course you did. But it's pointless.
The room falls into silence for a moment before she speaks again.
You really think they'll just answer and tell us everything we want to know?
I shake my head no because I want answers Evelyn..
Evelyn sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose, visibly frustrated I understand that. We all do. But there's no point in just repeatedly calling a number that won't answer.
I shrugged my shoulders just felt like doing it..
She rolls her eyes, crossing her arms
You have more free time than I thought. Have you ever considered finding a hobby that doesn't involve annoying the living hell out of me?
I sigh softly Just felt like giving them another shot.. maybe they’ll pick up this time…
Scoffs You're more stubborn than I thought. This is the third time in five minutes you've called them. They're not going to answer no matter how many times you dial their number!
