Voice || Alone in a Box

[notjustinthemirror]

Well this is fucking boring.

If this keeps going I'm willing to take one for the team, fill this coffin with alcohol and set it ablaze. Shoot this shit into the roof of the cave via explosion.

All I ask is you honor my memory by punching Fear in the face.

No ones going to dig me up.

[Noah probably would, but he's not holding out hope for the kids ghost digging skills.]

I'd apologize for taking you out too if you're next to me, but I actually don't give a shit.

[He bangs on the wall next to him.]

We neighbors?

Juuuuust going to say this call happens before Nick got dug up!

[synthedick]

Doesn't sound like it.

No one digging you up because you've got no friends, or because you've made too many enemies?

\o/ Yay timelines!

[notjustinthemirror]

Both.

I've been busy.

[synthedick]

[Oh boy. This sounds like the type of guy who belongs in Goodneighbor.]

From the sound of it, they're handing out coordinates for people to dig up, and no one knows who is where. Chances are you'll get rescued no matter what your reputation is.

[notjustinthemirror]

And probably buried back up immediately.

Too bad I can't make fireworks along with the explosion. At least it would be something to watch.

[Not that he'd be able to see it, being dead and all. Or so he thinks, he doesn't actually know if he can die.]

[synthedick]

You some kind of pyromaniac?

[notjustinthemirror]

Not if I've got something better to do I'm not.

But I gotta work with what I've got. And that's alcohol and fire.

[synthedick]

Looks like whomever buried us should have thought about what they were burying us with.

[notjustinthemirror]

I brought my own.

You have any fun toys in your box?

[synthedick]

Just what I had on me already and this phone.

[notjustinthemirror]

Well that certainly limits your fun.

You don't sound familiar at all. You new?

[synthedick]

Yeah. Only been here about a week. Can't say my luck has been very good, given the situation.

[notjustinthemirror]

Well the other option is being above ground with a shovel. We get the easy side of things.

[synthedick]

I'd feel a hell of a lot more helpful up there. Here, it's just a lot of waiting in the dark.

[notjustinthemirror]

At least we've got phones.

I'd offer you a drink but...

[synthedick]

I'd pass anyway. Doesn't do me much good.

[notjustinthemirror]

Well you're no fun.

[synthedick]

Hard to be fun when you're buried in a box.

[notjustinthemirror]

Thanks for pointing that out Captain Killjoy. Should I be taking notes?

[synthedick]

Only if you're going to bother reading them later.

The name's Nick Valentine.

[notjustinthemirror]

... Seriously?

[synthedick]

If I were joking, I'd have picked something cleverer.

[notjustinthemirror]

That sounds fake, but okay.

[Says the demon who makes alcohol.]

You got any big plans on how to break out of this?

[synthedick]

Breaking out's not my specialty. I'm better at digging.

[For information, that is.]

[notjustinthemirror]

Well they picked the wrong guy to put in a box didn't they?

Fuck this is boring.
