[Bruce had been in a hurry. Being chased by the United States military would do that to you, you see. The sudden change of scenery, however, had been enough to prompt an abrupt stop. I mean, one second you're charging through some lady's underwear and the next you're standing in the middle of a cell? That's a little disconcerting. Bruce is almost absolutely positive he hadn't changed. He wasn't missing any time. Nothing had happened to provoke it.

So....what happened?

He dropped his pack on the bed and set about giving the room a good once over. The sounds of the pursuing soldiers had died, so he figured he had the time. The journal is the last thing he picks up and he thumbs through it, getting a feel for how it works. Reading entries, listening to them. The mechanics of the book are astounding. After a moment or two more, he decides to give it a try himself. The audio cuts in and out briefly as he experiments and then finally:]

Hello?

I...

[Um. That's...that's a lot to take in really.]

I'm sorry. Could we finish this conversation later?

[Liz blinks, falling silent with slightly widened eyes. She flushes and looks properly chagrined after a moment.]

Oh, geeze, I like totally loaded you down, didn't I?? I'm sorry... Umm... Yeah, that's cool. [it's just a teenaged girls' feelings, man, no big.] Umm... Just ask if you need anything, okay?

[keepcalmanddontgetmad]

No it's okay I just...need to think about this.

[She nods.]
 
No worries… sorry, I tend to, like, forget that this can be overwhelming to people.
 
[Seriously. Who feels like an ass? This ghost right here.]
