Chapter Text
This is RITA! I’m on a SUPER DUPER SECRET spy mission, so I’m not sure how you got this number. But if you went to all that trouble you probably got something real important to say- like THE WORLD IS ABOUT TO END, and I’m the ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAVE IT! Like how in Miss Timetraveler’s Super-Space-Time-Continuum Special, the lady that invented time travel has to use her time travel machine to SAVE THE UNIVERSE, only the machine is broken, and she’s the only one that can fix it, and she’s stuck a bajillion years in the past, and so she has to REND REALITY with nothing but her WITS! Anyways, if you really gotta say something, l-

Message one.
Juno laughs at the voice message
God it's good to hear your voice. I know you probably aren’t going to get this message but…
I don’t know where you are. I think I took a wrong turn, or several. Maybe every turn I’ve taken in this goddamn maze has been a wrong turn. Rita, this place doesn’t end . I don’t know how you got out. I hope you got out.
I’ve been wandering around for days, and I don’t know if I’m starting to hallucinate, or if this place is messing with me. It’s started repeating itself more and more. But I found a cigarette butt, and it was still warm when I picked it up. I’ve been smelling smoke for the past few days, and then I thought I heard someone screaming my name…
Rita I think there might be someone in here with me. It may be a trick, but it’s all I’ve got to go on, and that's a hell of a lot better than nothing. I hope you’re-
Message two.
I keep hearing footsteps, and I can’t tell where they’re coming from anymore. They sound like they’re getting closer, but as soon as I think I’ve reached the source it stops. I’m starting to wonder if I’m hearing things I want to hear. Maybe this is all another trick.
But I still have the cigarette butt. I haven’t let go of it. It feels real. I have to believe they’re real. That's what the big guy would say.
I have to believe you’re still out there.
Message three.
I thought I heard footsteps on the other side of this wall. There's no door that leads there. When I called out they didn’t respond. That scares me worse than the screaming. Maybe something has already got to them, maybe I’m next.
*footsteps*
Did you hear that?
*footsteps fade*
Hey!
*silence*
I have to go.
Message four.
It's been a few days… I think. I haven’t seen anything in a while. Wait-
*Juno runs towards something*
I found a shoe! It’s a weird leather boot, and it’s still warm. Ha! Looks like something Sasha would’ve worn during her goth phase… never mind that. Why would somebody drop their shoe? Were they running from something? Or if its the same person that called to me, maybe they know I’m tracking them. I’ll keep you updated.
Message five.
I just stepped on someone's gum.
Message six.
Rita, I think I'm trapped. There are these two rooms, and no matter which door I walk through, I just keep passing between one and the other. I’ve been walking back and forth between them for hours hoping something will change. I searched everything. What am I missing? How did you get out? I don’t know how to get out. I don’t know how to get out, Rita. I don’t know-
Message seven.
*footsteps*
Message eight.
(whispered)
Rita.
I think they found me.
