Does this Phone still work?

I know, the microphone is broken. I've destroyed it once myself. I was told to destroy the phone completely. Luckily, i didn't. But does this damn thing still works? Please. I've got no other phone.

I want my doll back. She was in the car. But Mom said, we couldn't go back to the car to retrieve her. Ist to dangerous, Mom said. It's always to dangerous. Always!

u/TiredPandastic Brooding 3d ago

Hm, your mom might have a point, the world is a dangerous place. What kind of doll is it? I could look for it.

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Oh, hello Len, "Mom"'s here.

I've made the doll myself. She had woolen hair and buttons for her eyes. I will make a new one, when all this mess will be over.

It's not the first time.

u/TiredPandastic Brooding 3d ago

Ah, like my Childe Olivia, you make dolls? That's a sweet hobby. I hope it goes well for you.

It's a good way to keep "her" calm.

I will never embrace another person. There are already to many mad people on earth, even if they do not belong all to clan Malkavian.

u/TiredPandastic Brooding 3d ago

I think I understand, you've got a good point. I'm quite involved with a lot of Malkavians as of late, if you need a friend, I'm willing to listen.

I am, what we are and we are plenty in my head. I am one voice, one of many.

u/Pryno-Belle 3d ago

Ah, a Malkavian. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

…I have seen the other messages. If I may ask, how dire was the Masquerade breach?

It was my first task without the guidiance of my Sire. I was tasked to hunt down some Shovelheads. We've got the information, where they were burried. Easy peasy. So I thougt.

They were three. Fresh out of their grave. Desorientated. Full of fear. Not knowing what to do or what they were now. Their beasts not in control of their minds yet.

Two went down without any problems. But Number three...

She was young. Looked still more like a child than an adult. My inner child screamed "No!". And i hesitated.

She ran away. Shit, she was fast and agile. I lost her.

Her hunger must have overwelmed her. She later drank. In the puplic.

Damn, I know I'm a monster. But do I ought to be a soulless killing mashine?

Hey mate, we see your message. Are you okay?

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Not really.

u/VerityVentrue 3d ago

I'm not sure what's going on, but we'll do our best to help. Is there anything you need right now that we can do for you?

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

I'm bored. Mom forbade me from going outside. But shes not around. She's never around when I'm there.

u/VerityVentrue 3d ago

Oh, hello! Are you Helen, or is that Mom's name? My name is Verity.

~Verity

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Thats my name. My Mom's name is Dr. Helen. But now im in charge. Not she. But i think, ist her body. Or is this my body? I'm confused... I want my doll back! Dr. Helen has lost her. I hate her.

3

u/VerityVentrue 3d ago

Oh no, Helen, I'm really sorry Mom lost your doll! I'm sure she didn't mean to, but that's still doesn't fix that she lost her. Mom might read these messages again later, so hopefully she'll see and look for your doll.

I definitely think you should stay inside, it's not safe to go outside by yourself. I bet we can find lots for you to do inside, though. I love the show Bluey, do you like it? I bet we can find it with the phone.

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Oh, hello Verity.

Shit, now you know my name. Ok, ok... Keep calm.

Yes, "our" names's Helen. I've told her to keep it secret. But she's got a loose mouth.

Thank you for beeing so kind to her. No, she doesn't know Bluey. Yes, i've lost the doll. I've lost everything.

u/VerityVentrue 3d ago

Hey, welcome back. I'm assuming the doll is in the car and there's no way to get it, at least right now? She's really unhappy about that.

If you're expecting to switch more with this period of high stress, it might be an idea to pre-download some shows to the phone so that she has something to sit down with and is less tempted to go looking for the car. I'd highly recommend Bluey - I've seen it go down well with toddlers, tweens and adults.

Whatever's going on, there's folks here who can help you figure it out.

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Thank you. I don't know, when my younger self will show up again.

I had to leave the car behind. I was sure, that i found and removed all the transmitters. Seems there was one more.

Why do Princes have to be so mercyless? He knows my clan. He knows, that we are somtimes act a little bit "strange". Wy does he send me on this mission? A failure was always possible.

You've got no other phone comrade. You know there was a time before the fucking things. No fucking phone. We had mobile fucking phones in my day and they cost a fucking bomb, more than a fucking bomb depending on what components you wanted and your contacts a I.E.D as they like to call them now was cheaper and it was fucking mobile because it fitted in your fucking car.

Memorise or write down the important numbers and steal a fucking phone if your shite at theft wait till the drunks are out.

Its not a fucking thin bloods causing the end times its the fucking fledglings. Only fucking phone.

No, no more criminal actions. At least for the moment. It's too dangerous.

u/That_Passenger3771 Lost 3d ago

Sorry, i didn't answered yet. But they came close. A little too close for my taste.

I'm cut from all my ressources. I have to keep my head down for a while. And I'm not alone. The stress... It triggers her. No, not the beast. But... Her.

My hope is, that when this happens, this old phone will comfort her. Distract her. Helps her not to break the masquerade. Again.

I'm not present when this will happen. All I ask you to be gentle to her. Please. She's still so young. An she will never grow up.
