hello.

you can hear deep heavy breaths being taken in the midst of the fire crackling, quickly sounding louder. Slow sluggish steps we're being taken painfully long.

"there's no way out...I-I got to-"

BANG!

...

....

Oh. there is a dripping noise.

A lot of them.

Is it. Is it?

Oh it's over?

"AAAAAAGHH!!!"

You came back online with a painful scream welcoming you. Everything is still slightly static-y, but you can hear that scream clearly.

You recognized that scream, as the person that you have been interacting with when this audio went online.

The only sound after that scream is a loud thud and a whispery chilling noise, barely picked up by the audio receiver.

"h........ello........there........"

A few disoriented footsteps can be heard, while a fumbling of fabric against the floor can also be heard.

"Stay-stay back! STAY THE FUCK BACK!" they yelled.

a few deep breaths can be heard, before a crackling sound that sounds too close to fire got picked up.

[100%]

the slow, faint footsteps and the rapidly approaching footsteps seems to overlap over one another, that the audio receiver had multiple statics interrupting due to how loud it is.

Everything was chaos, you can barely hear anything.

Everything was so loud.

And then there was a loud bang.

Before the audio turns static.

.

.

[SYSTEM OVERLOAD.]

After a while, you can hear the wheeze slowly dissipate. There’s a sharp inhale and an exhale.

“Alright, okay, I-I think I need to find out where I am first…”

A rustling of fabric can be heard alongside a groan of pain. A faint dull thump can be heard.

“Alright, here goes nothing…”

Faint and slow footsteps can be heard. It sounds very frail and weak.

Alongside this, the far away footsteps continued on, getting faster.

>submission accepted

“Who are you?”

A robotic voice came out of the speaker faintly, but it seems like it’s enough for whoever in the room to notice.

“So there is someone…I-I don’t know where you are but, my name is-“

A pause.

.

.

“Wh-what is my name again? No, Nono, this is not happening, I couldnt, I couldnt have possibly f-forgotten my name….”

The person panics, choked breaths quickly turns into a wheeze.

“Okay okay, calm down, calm-Calm down, I-I don’t know…I don’t know…I-I’m sorry…”

During this, you can faintly hear the footsteps stops.

>[RESPOND (Submission needed)]

A beep of noise was let out from the device. It beeps thrice, once, once again with a long beep and two other beeps, this happening twice, and lastly three long beeps.

"What? I-is someone actually there!?" They fully shouted in surprise.

from very far away, you can hear very faint footsteps.

"Hello! Please respond if you can hear me!"

They shouted again, as the faint footsteps starts to get more clear.

[WHAT DO YOU WISH TO SAY?]

There’s electricity whirring, indicating that it is now on and something happened

A shocked groan can be heard.

“I’m…not even gonna ask…”

There’s another dull thump, something heavy hitting the floor slowly.

“Well now there’s light…this…tells me nothing.”

Heavy breathing sounds soon followed

“Fuck, okay. I’m stuck…in this…empty room…my body is fucking aching…Jesus…”

The thing whispered, barely caught by the recording device

“Is there…even any hope?…

Might as well try…”

Deep breath

“Hello!? I-Is anyone here!?”

They half shouted

There is more heavy breathing sounds, before a groan and rustling is heard

“Well…might as well…try to find some way to see…”

There are slow footsteps, heavy and disoriented, as if it hasn’t used any part of their body in a while

The footsteps was there for a while before a loud thud and painful groan is heard

“Fuck…I…hit my head. Just peachy…”

“Okay,” slow sounds can be heard “where the…fuck…is this…light…”

>[Talk] >[Keep Quiet]

.

..

…

There was a staticky noise, with a faint breathing sound.

Suddenly, the audio got cleared, and you can hear a gasp of air, as if whatever is there haven’t breath in a while.

A cough soon followed, and then a groan. The voice sound pained, as if it’s regaining strength and clearance.

“Wh…What…Happened…?”

They gasped those words, still adjusting to the sudden oxygen in their lungs.

There’s a rustling sound, before a thump against a wall can be heard.

“…where am I…”

The voice seems to get clearer.
