[Another Johnson Accidental Audio Post]

[justwonthegame]

[Someone is muttering into their device intermittently in a New Zealand accent.]

Come on…..answer your bloody phone, Axl. … Pick up… Ugh, come on! As if this day couldn't get more shit.

[A pause. Mike is holding his phone away from his face and looking at it, and the reason you can tell, is he’s pressed a button and switched the video on. He frowns at the screen, and ends up talking quietly to his phone.]

What the hell are you doing?

[He turns the phone off. A few minutes later, a text message goes up on the Network.]

Axl if this is your phone I’m reaching I’ve got no idea where the hell I am. Call me back and pass the phone to Olaf.

Don’t tell him to text me back.

Don’t tell him to read this.

Shit. And tell him it's already on.

Are you all ok?

[Hey look, you found Axl! But no passing the phone to Olaf, I'm afraid.]

Mike! What are you doing here?

[justwonthegame]

[Mike sounds incredibly long-suffering.] Axl, what did I just say?

[friggmagnet]

[EYE-ROLLING AT YOU MIKE]

First off, Olaf's not here. And second, why don't you want to talk to me?

audio;

[justwonthegame]

Because Olaf stands a chance--a slim one, I realise--of actually knowing what the fuck is going on. [A pause.] Hang on.

[He doesn't hang up, just tucks his phone into his pocket a moment and casts about, listening, scenting the air. Nothing. Dead godly air. Shit. He puts his phone to his ear again.]

Ok, would stand one if he was bloody here.

audio;

[friggmagnet]

I just told you he isn't here.

audio;

[justwonthegame]

And I was checking if he was anywhere here, not just standing right beside you. We just showed up, so Olaf might have also been stuck here somewhere. [He pauses, and checks for Ty.] Why is it only us?






[ok fine, he checks for Anders. Ugh.]

audio;

[friggmagnet]

I don't know, man. It was only me until now.

audio;

[justwonthegame]

Did...anyone say anything to you about this being part of the ceremony?

audio;

[friggmagnet]

No. No one knows anything about that shit here.

audio;

[justwonthegame]

Ok. Hold on. I'm coming to find you.

[God of the Hunt time! Only this time, it actually hooks onto something. Good.]

audio;

[friggmagnet]

Right.

[Anyone else might give directions. Axl knows better. He'll just stay where he is in the kitchen at the welcome centre. They have those chocolate digestive biscuits here after all.]

audio;

[justwonthegame]

[Big sign that says 'Welcome'. Ok. Some sort of community centre, he supposes? He stops for a moment to sort of wave at whoever's working at the front, and then heads for the kitchen.]

Hey, so I hear you've been here longer than me. Somehow.

audio;

[friggmagnet]

Three days.

[He's got a biscuit in his mouth and sort of mumbles around it, before gesturing at the package on the table.]

Want one?

audio;

[justwonthegame]

No, it's fine. Are you doing alright? [That's a question not really just referring to the last three days. Because today was shit, with Colin being a total cock, and then that moment where he'd thought he was going to die, and Colin being a cock again, and then the fucking Idunn thing and--] Actually, you know what, I will have one, ta. [He reaches over and grabs a biscuit out of the package, starting to eat it in broken-off sections.]

audio;

[friggmagnet]

I'm alright, yeah. It's not so bad here. [To be honest he's enjoying hiding out from said events...] There's tea if you want some.

[justwonthegame]

[Good. Mike goes over to get a mug and pour himself some without saying anything.]

Have you heard anything about these gods who brought us here, apparently?

[friggmagnet]

No. No one seems to know which gods they even are.

[justwonthegame]

Why would they keep that part secret and not the fact that they're gods at all. ... Unless they're shit gods.

[friggmagnet]

If they're shit gods, how did they manage to kidnap both of us?

[justwonthegame]

They're very good at being the shit gods they are? Gods of stds or something. [Wow, time for a topic change.] Where are you living?

[friggmagnet]

Oh, right here, actually. It's like a hostel thing for new people. Do you know we actually have to pay rent in this place?

[justwonthegame]

...but they abducted us.

[friggmagnet]

I know, man! It's totally bullshit.

[justwonthegame]

[Mike's rage, which has been at at least a five all day starts building again.]

It's not as if a bloody resume is going to do anything, here. I'm going to have to build my fucking reputation all over again from the ground up.

[A pause, in which he furiously clenches his jaw.]

Fuck! What do they fucking think they're doing?

[He kind of wants to punch a wall but he doesn't even own this wall. He just lets himself fume into a simmering quiet anger.]

Right, that's it. We're going to go to these gods and demand answers, come on. [He stands again, and angrily finishes his tea. And then hisses from burning his tongue, there was too much left for that, really.]

[friggmagnet]

Whoa, Mike. I don't think that's such a good idea.
