Liminal Twilight - [JennyDK & Jholdono]

[Jholdono]

After some time, Alan pulls the phone away from his ear. Unable to continue listening to this music for much longer, he holds the phone far enough away that he can just barely hear it, but will be able to tell when the music stops and someone comes back on the line. All of this waiting around made him remember another feeling of waiting in a place crowded with other people... all waiting for... what? He ponders this as he fidgets with his drivers license. Either way, the situation seems to drag on forever, even though the concept of time in this space is distorted in itself. While the music is still playing, he takes a moment to look around his surroundings. Of course nothing seemed different since he last looked - still the same yellow walls and lighting, but he needed to mentally remind himself that he might not be alone in this room... a sudden feeling of paranoia creeped into his mind, 'Should I really just be sitting here? What if that double of mine comes around and tries something?' Alan decides to stand up from the chair for now, despite how comfortable it is, he began to doubt that nothing bad could happen to him here and that this was all just a diversionary tactic of some sort. Still listening to the phone, he paces and turns around constantly, checking over his shoulder often and making sure not to get tangled up in the chord. 'Wait... why am I thinking all of this just now? What made me forget to be aware of these things?'

Nothing in the room seems to change from the look, feel and sound of it, leaving Allan behind with only his own thoughts and sensations to interpret however he feels like. Time seems to drone on both endlessly and at the same time feels like it is standing still, with the only passage of time possible being on his phone, should he have it turned on. The music finally stops on the other end of the line for Allan, recplaced with something that sounds like the call is being redirected or something like that. In any case, there is soon a soft "beep" noises as another voice comes in, repeating the same recording.
