City of Amnesia

Topaz: <I'm already here.>

<This is a police station, not an information booth. Try the phone book.>
=============================================
Woman<If you don't go willingly, you will be arrested. Which means that I will be putting handcuffs on you & stuffing you roughly in the back seat.>

Man<In my defense, I'm much gentler than Tipheret.>

Tipheret<Silence, Netzach.>

"May I know why I'm being taken to answer questions?"

*She narrows her eyes, glaring at him, and fucks off to find a phone book.*

Tipheret<You're the sole surviving victim of the Rasheverek murders. We need insight on the reasons for which he may have been targeting you.>
=============================================
*As it turns out, there's a phone booth not far from the police station.*

"I don't know what that is."

[I guess it would explain why I was shot.]

*And so she checks it out.*

Tipheret<A series of murders. Get in the back of the car.>
========================================
*It gives him an address inside the one of the domes & a phone number.*

*With no other questions to ask, she gets in the car sitting nervously in the middle seat.*

*She fuks off towards the domes.*

[I gotta pick him up from school soon... I better hurry.]

*She narrows her eyes, staring around.*

Zell gets out of the shower, takes care of her daily hygiene needs, and gets dressed. She headed to the kitchen, made herself toast, and ate it while enjoying the view from the terrace.

*The cops get in, Netzach driving. All of the doors lock & the car begins driving towards the Central Dome.*

Netzach<So...having a fun vacation?>
============================================
*The dome's entrance happens to be about 10 miles away, while the actual building is an additional 10 miles beyond that point.*

"What do you mean?"

Zell is still chilling on the terrace, eating toast.

Netzach<Well...you're not working. So you're on vacation. How's it been?>
====================================================
*Thiera comes onto the terrace, hanging a dirty apron on a coat rack.*

"I'm not on a vacation."

*She goes home and calls the phone number.*

Zell got more toast.

T"I believe I've fully restored the Megadeus."

[What have you accomplished with your life?]
=========================================
Netzach<What? Yes you-->

Tipheret<Shut up.>

Netzach<Whatever. We're here anyway.>

*In the middle of the Central Dome is a large skyscraper. It towers above the others, actually going through the roof of said dome. Netzach drives into a garage sort of thing & turns on his headlights as they go down a dark tunnel.*

Tipheret<The police station is on the ground floor, you moron.>

Netzach<I know. The thing is, that's not where I was ordered to take her.>
==============================================
*Lilith picks up the phone.*

L"What?"

Topaz: <Is this Thiera Psyche?>

"Where... Where am I being taken?"

Zell finishes her toast, and continues to lounge about.

L"No."
=======================
Netzach<General Ronstadt asked to see you personally, & she says she'll be in Basement 222.>

Tipheret<What? That's the lowest occupied space in all of Paradigm City. What could she possibly want with us down there?>

Netzach<Dunno. You'll have to ask the girl.>

"I don't know who that is."

Zell just then noticed Thiera. "I'm sorry... I didn't see you there." Zell said with a smile, "How was your day, anything of particular note?"
