Throwing This Back To You Immediately I Am SO Sorry - Tumblr Posts

★ — Gregory can feel the bubbling hope in his chest begin to ebb as the sound of static stretches on, devoid of anyone on the other side and once again leaving him alone in the caverns. His tether to the walkie - talkie loosens, the urgency in his grip beginning to relax as his shoulders uncurl. The connection may be broken, but that didn't change what he now knew — Michael was here. Michael was looking for him. There's relief in that knowledge, a soothing balm over his steady, thrumming fear.

Michael's voice breaks through the white - noise once again, faint and incomplete ; but enough for unease to settle into Gregory's bones. He was talking to someone. Someone Gregory couldn't hear.

( is that why Cassie had decided to come to this place? )

"What're you talking about?" "I — don't know. It grabbed me!" "It's, uh — it's not like last time. I- I think I'm deeper down." "There was an accident. Everything collapsed. I didn't get a good look." "What's going on? Can you even hear me?" "You have to get me out!" —— "Fucking come on!"

THE STATIC PERSISTS on Michael's end as well, fragments of Gregory's voice escaping through the incessant radio feed— every piece he does manage to catch, though... he can't help but feel it sounds undeniably wrong. It's identical to Gregory's voice, Cassie seems to believe it ( she's quickly distressed the moment Gregory tells them about whatever's down there with him, that he's scared ), and there's no doubt that he isn't alone down there. Yet even in the worst situations, it's far from anything Gregory would ever say.

Michael was the one to see him that night in the Pizzaplex, he knows how Gregory would act: and this isn't it.

He pauses for a moment, unsure how to respond ( if it isn't Gregory that he's talking to... he doesn't want to clue whatever it is in ), before opting to respond to the voice he does hear... trying to gain as much insight as possible. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. What's down there with you? Do I know what it is?" Subtle hint to the rabbit suit Gregory told him of after that night. "Can you describe it? Anything you might have seen?"
