[A woman's voice, muttering] Strange devices, but I haven't got much choice but to use them, have I? [She clears her throat.] Hello? I don't know if I'm doing this right or nothin, but at least I think I know where I am. Not that the decor don't give it away.

I just don't want no one to be alarmed or anythin. My name's Madeleine LeClerc. I'm a friend of the Marquis. Has he got friends here? People to look after him?

(ooc: Since the Abbe is remaining unchanged I decided I'd go ahead and do the Marquis after all)

...Madeleine?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I didn't quite hear that. Can you say again?

Voice

[toknowvirtue.livejournal.com]

My God.

Madeleine! Can you hear me?

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Abbe? [A bit of a breathless laugh -- she's not picking up on any distress on his end yet] I didn't think you'd be here too.

[A rustling sound of paper ad quills being shoved aside from the voice recorder.]

Madeleine, what are you doing here?

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I'm not really certain, if you want the truth of it, Abbe. But I know it's just for a short while. I expected to look in on you and the Marquis in some fashion, but I didn't know you'd both be so far from home.

Can -- [she takes an audible breath] -- Can I come see you?

Voice

[toknowvirtue.livejournal.com]

No! No, you mustn't...

[He just realized how crazy the situation is.]

Is it really you?

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles a little. When she speaks there's a little humor in it, but something else. Her words are heavier, even oddly wise.]

It's me, Abbe. I'm here in place of the Marquis for a while.

...You came for him?

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I'm not too sure how this works; I just know if I weren't here right now, he would be. And I think this are his chambers. Bit nicer than his cell, though, but I recognize it. He used to talk about LaCoste a lot.

Voice

[toknowvirtue.livejournal.com]

He's a warden.

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Means he's taking care of someone here, yeah? Like you did for him.

Voice

[toknowvirtue.livejournal.com]

Like I did for him...

Perhaps you should come, Madeleine.

Voice

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I'd like that. I know it doesn't really matter now, but it feels like I never got the chance to say goodbye, Abbe.

Voice

[toknowvirtue.livejournal.com]

Level 1, room 011.

I believe you'll recognize my door.

[Voice]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

We're friends now, yeah. I was his Warden temporarily at one point, before he graduated.

[Voice]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Graduated? You mean he got better.

[Voice]

[some-kinda-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sorry, I'm just so used to using the terminology here. Under Captain James Kirk, but he's not here right now. How do you know Donatien?
