[When the audio feed comes on, there are a few seconds of hesitation while Justine composes herself. Whether or not this will actually work… well. Time will tell.]
Excuse me. If anyone is listening… [There’s a pause and the sound of clothes rustling] If anyone is there – this is Justine Leblanc. I need help. Quickly.
[Her voice becomes slightly muffled, as if she’s no longer speaking into the microphone.] Stay here with me, you hear? Don’t move. [And once more to the recording device:]
This girl… my daughter, Lilith. I - I think she has lost her mind. If anyone could help me get her to a hospital, I’d be very grateful.
[The feed doesn't end as Justine doesn't know how it works beyond what Lilith has told her. Instead, there's the sound of running water and people passing by in the background, while she waits in silence.]
[ooc: Follows this log. Having just arrived in the City, Justine has encountered Lilith by the fountain.]

[There's sounds of him moving around. He's going to be getting his coat on to go save her from whatever their Mother has done now.]
[Audio]
Nothing! She's raving - I think she may be ill.

I'm surprised you are not worried more about your own health. Resurrection isn't that common of an occurrence.
[Audio]
Your mind is as addled as ever, I see. And why are you taking so long?
[Audio] to [action]
[Dear God, give him the strength to deal with having her here.]
It will take me another 2, 3 minutes. [And he just disconnects. It actually feels sort of nice, hanging up on her. He would dally if not for Lilith.
And in a couple of minutes, he's there. His pace slows once he's within speaking distance.]
Hello, Mother.
[action] ORDER: Lilith - Jean-Paul - Justine
Oh, there you are. [She glances sideways at Lilith, eyebrows raised.] Perhaps now, we can have some clarity.
[action] ORDER: Lilith - Jean-Paul - Justine
Jean-Paul? Now... We're all here.
[action] ORDER: Lilith - Jean-Paul - Justine
Yes, Lilith, so we are. [Of course he would answer her first. Not only because she is beloved, but because it is far less pleasant to speak to him mother.]
And what clarity would you like, Mother? This is quite plainly not Paris. And I have serious doubts that you were in a similar place before appearing here.
[action] ORDER: Lilith - Jean-Paul - Justine
Of course you would believe her fantasies! The both of you - you have never been any help.
[Nor any good. But she can't quite make herself say that with Lilith present; not here, not like this. She tells herself it's just about manners and class. Yes, a mother must have enough to balance her children out.]

Though, perhaps you can tell me - where in Paris are we? I feel utterly lost.

Oh. Oh, no one told you? I'm really, really sorry that you have to hear this over the network and not in person, but you're not exactly in Paris. Or on earth. This is the City.
