  Random Girl: [Cammy?]

  Camren: (Katie?! What’s she doing here???)

  Random Girl: [W-why are you here?]

  Camren & Evangeline: “...”

  Random Girl: [And who is that?]

  Camren: “?”

  Random Girl: [Who’s that girl behind you?]

  Camren: (Shit! I forgot about her!)

  Random Girl: [Oh right, your transmitter is broken huh?]

  *Nods

  Random Girl: [Is she your friend?]

  *Nods

  Random Girl: [Hello! My name is Katie!]

  *Waves

  Katie: [Why doesn’t she- I can’t find her signal on my sensor.]

  Camren: “!”

  Katie: [S-she doesn’t seem like she's… from here either.]

  Camren & Evangeline: “...”

  Katie: [Well! Since you can’t communicate with me, nor does she seem like she can either, let’s go back to my place! I’ll have you explain everything there.]

  *Nods

  Katie: [Alright then let’s go! Oh, by the way Cammy…]

  Camren: “?”

  Katie: [Do- do I need to worry about you and… her?]

  *Shakes!

  Katie: [O-okay, I trust you.]

  Camren: (Ha… that was scary- Wait, MY NOTES!)

  Katie: [Well you’ll be explaining everything later anyway- where are you going?]

  *Rustles

  Katie: [Oh, are those your notes? Wait, don’t tell me…]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [Ha… Nevermind…]

  .

  Katie: [Alright! You guys can stay here in my room, and Cammy, I’ll be right back with another Communicator for you to use for now.]

  *Waves

  Camren: “Ha… Alright she’s gone for now, Eva-”

  Evangeline: “What do I do!?!? Wuh-what if she finds out?! Am I safe here??? Should I leave? Wha-”

  Camren: “Calm down! Also keep your freaking voice low you idiot! I don’t know what’ll happen either so play along, got it?”

  Evangeline: “...mhm…!”

  Camren: “That means zip it! Just stay quiet for now, I’ll figure something out when she asks.”

  Evangeline: “That sounds… VERY NOT SAFE-”

  Camren: “Shut it!”

  Katie: [H-hey, you know that I can hear you, right?]

  Camren & Evangeline: “???”

  Katie: [Well, I can’t understand what you’re saying, but I can hear your… voices? I heard you guys talking back at the school too…]

  Camren: “F-figured… Ha…I guess there’s no hiding it from her anymore Eva.”

  Katie: [Here, take this and talk to me.]

  Camren: [Ok, there we go.]

  Katie: [Alrighty! So Cammy!- Start talking. I believe you have a lot of explaining to do.]

  Camren: [A-are you mad at me?]

  Katie: [I don’t know, should I be?]

  Camren: [... Where do I start,]

  Katie: [Well, first off… Who is she?]

  Camren: [Her name is Evangeline, Eva for short. S-she came through my window at night, and she just followed me to the school.]

  Katie: [What?! She just climbed through your window???]

  Camren: [I know I know, I tried not asking why or how, but apparently she ran away from home.]

  Katie: [Why? Where is she from? I’m guessing not from here that’s for certain.]

  Camren: [Hold on.]

  Katie: [?]

  Camren: “Hey, where are you from again?”

  Evangeline: “Oh my god, you’ve asked me that so many times already.”

  Camren: “Like I said, I forget easily! I’m sorry, just not that good with names.”

  Evangeline: “Gillua, and try to remember this time!”

  Camren: “Gillua, ok thanks.”

  Evangeline: “H-hey what are you guys talking about?”

  Camren: “I’ll let you know in a sec.”

  Evangeline: “Hmph…fine”

  Camren: [She says she’s from Gillua.]

  Katie: [From that far?!? What’s she doing here?]

  Camren: [You know about the place?]

  Katie: [Of course I do! Gillua is a pretty important place!]

  Camren: [I… how do I know nothing about it?]

  Katie: [YOU tell me! Ha…Anyways, why is she here?]

  Evangeline: “Hey Cams, what are you guys talking about?”

  Camren: “D-don’t call me Cams! Just wait- huh, hold on.”

  Evangeline: “?”

  Camren: “Why don’t you try talking with her?”

  Evangeline: “What?!”

  Camren: “Here, put it on.”

  Evangeline: “H-hey! Wait-”

  Katie: [He’s pretty comfortable with you huh, even though you guys have just met…]

  Evangeline: “How do I use this thing again?"

  Camren: “Just go into the chat, and think of what you want to say. It’ll appear.”

  Evangeline: [D-did it work?]

  Katie: [Hello! Yes it did work! Your name is Eva, correct?]

  Evangeline: [Yes, uh, hello! My name is Evangeline- wait you already know that… You must be Katie!]

  Katie: [Yes that’s correct. So Evangeline, Cammy told me that you ran away from home.]

  Evangeline: [I did.]

  Katie: [What happened? Is everything alright?]

  Evangeline: [Um, it’s a long story.]

  Katie: [Oh don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere lol!]

  Evangeline: [Oh, haha, I-I guess you’re right…]

  Camren: "Everything ok with you guys?”

  Evangeline: “Camren, she’s scary…”

  Camren: “Yeah she can be a bit pushy huh? Don’t worry though, she’s not as scary as you think.”

  Evangeline: [I ran away from home because I didn’t want to get married to someone I’ve never met before. Arranged marriage is still a big thing in Gillua for a lot of people.]

  Katie: [Oh I see, if you don’t mind, may I ask how old you may be?]

  Evangeline: [I’m turning 20 in a month.]

  Katie: [Oh that’s very close! Wait…]

  Evangeline: [I know I know, aren’t I still too young to be getting married, but I agree, and so did my grandma, who told me about Terrado.]

  Katie: [Did she encourage you…]

  Evangeline: [Yup, and if you’re wondering why I snuck into HIS room,]

  Katie: [Mhm.]

  Evangeline: [... I noticed him at the festival, but so did he apparently and tried following me. We lost each other, but later when I found him again, I just followed bc I didn’t have anywhere else to go.]

  Katie: [I… see…]

  Evangeline: [Yeah… I hope you don’t mind, I promise I didn’t mean no harm.]

  Katie: [You just needed a place to stay, in a foreign place no less, oh I understand don’t worry. However, that’s not what I’m concerned with at the moment.]

  Evangeline: [Huh? Then what are you…]

  Katie: [If I may, could I please speak with Cammy again?]

  Evangeline: [Y-yeah of course! Here just gimme me a sec.]

  Katie: [Thank you!]

  Evangeline: “Here, she wants to speak with you again.”

  Camren: “Oh ok. I was wondering what you guys were-”

  Evangeline: “G-good luck…”

  Camren: “?”

  Evangeline: “I don’t know what she’s thinking, just… be careful.”

  Camren: “What… Who do you think I'm dealing with here? Calm down, she’s my girlfriend, she’ll understand I’m sure.”

  Evangeline: “Well, let’s hope so.”

  Camren: [Ok, Katie-]

  Katie: [You were at the festival huh?]

  *Gulp

  Katie: [And here I thought you couldn’t make it to the festival.]

  Camren: [Well, let me explain,]

  Katie: [And you saw her there.]

  *Gulp

  Katie: [And… You tried following her???]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [Besides all this, you can use your voice???]

  Camren: [Y-yes…]

  Katie: [Why haven’t you told me?]

  Camren: [I was scared… that you would’ve thought differently of me. That you would’ve found it weird or gross.]

  Katie: [Well, not gross, just weird. Or, guess I’m just not used to it.]

  Camren: [Do you, not like me anymore?]

  Katie: [WHAT?!? No silly! I’d never love you less for something like that! In retrospect, it’s cool that you can do something no one else can here!]

  Camren: [Really?! That’s… that’s a relief.]

  Katie: [Although you following her…]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [And lying to me about going to the festival…]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [AND letting a random girl into your room, when even I haven’t been in there yet…]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [We’ve been together for how long now? A year Cammy! And I haven’t even seen your room, but you let her in?!? A stranger???]

  Camren: [Listen! I know this looks bad, but I promise I tried getting her out as much as I can!]

  Katie: [Did she go on your bed too?]

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [You fiend…]

  Camren: [I’m sorry!!! It was all just so sudden!]

  Katie: “...”

  Camren: “...”

  Katie: [You menace…]

  Camren: [I deeply apologize…]

  Katie: “...”

  Camren: [Look, I’m even on my knees here!]

  Katie: [No one asked you to be! Just- ha… get up Cammy.]

  Camren: [I’m sorry, but I promise I-]

  Katie: [I know, I know your intentions were good.]

  Camren: [Listen, I would’ve told you if I could’ve.]

  Katie: [And I understand that too.]

  Camren: [So… Do you forgive me?]

  Katie: [Awe what? Of course not! Don’t worry though! We’re coming back to this eventually!]

  Camren: [Please…]

  Katie: [Anyways, I feel bad about her, what should we do?]

  Camren: [You want to help her? But I thought-]

  Katie: [Oh no no no no, no! YOU’RE the one who’s getting an earful later, not her!]

  Camren: [So I’m still dead…]

  Katie: [You bet!]

  Evangeline: “Hey Cams?”

  Camren: “What’s up? Also I thought I said-”

  Evangeline: “Please? Camren just doesn’t roll off the tongue like Cams does!”

  Camren: “HOW DOES IT- You know what, I’m not gonna fight it.”

  Evangeline: “Yay! Oh anyways, I… have to go to the bathroom…”

  Camren: “Oh! Uh, hold on.”

  Katie: [Everything ok with her? She seems uncomfortable.]

  Camren: [Yeah could she possibly use your bathroom?]

  Katie: [Oh sure! There’s one around the corner-]

  Evangeline: “Um, Cams?”

  Camren: “?”

  Evangeline: “It’s because it’s uhh… my time of… the-”

  Camren: “Huh? Oooooohhh! ? OH SHI-”

  Evangeline: “SHUT UP!”
