[ When the device turns on, it sounds like Alisha is fiddling with it, trying to turn it on. It takes her a few extra moments to realise that she has, indeed, found success. A deep inhale—one of exhaustion and annoyance—can be heard before she speaks ] What the fuck is going on? If we've somehow pissed off another goddamn freak I'm going to kill you, Curtis. Who the fuck goes after some weirdo who [ air quotes ] "apparently" [ end air quotes ] controls dairy or whatever the fuck and - [ Alisha inhales, suddenly realising that she's talking at a strange device she's never seen before. It's not Simon's phone, or Nathan's, Curtis' or Kelly's. ] Hello? Where the fuck are you? Curtis? Simon? Kelly? [ A long pause ] Nathan? [ Alisha goes for her phone, trying to turn it on. She frowns ] Why won't my phone work?

[ A pause, and this time Alisha's voice is angrier ] What the hell did you do to my phone, Nathan? [ She glares. As if that will give her an answer from the twat. ]

Fucking answer me, you twat!

[ A longer pause as she waits for an answer that doesn't come. Alisha starts to look anxious. ] Look, if this is about the boy in the locker - or the probation worker - we didn't do anything, alright? I don't know shit. Whoever the fuck is doing this, please stop. Whatever the fuck you want, take it, alright? Just tell me where my friends are.

Do you like it here so far?

[Ah. There's an awkward shift in demeanor - still smiling, always smiling - but it's different.]

'fraid I'm the wrong bloke to ask on that front. ["Here" is all he's got left, so he kind of loves it.] 's not too bad, though. Entertaining enough, and loads of stuff we haven't got back home. It's an adventure of sorts.

An adventure. That's one way of putting it.

It doesn't seem too bad, to be honest. Beats back home. Kind of nice to start anew, you know?

[ She frowns ] Entertaining like being turned into a cat?

I know exactly what you mean.

[No, really. He laughs.]

Bit like that, yeah. Though that's not particularly the strangest of things to happen, so I'm told.

[ Oh great. ]

Has anything weird happened to you since you've been here?

Not to me personally, no. Makes for an excellent show.

Yeah, I bet. Watching everyone freak out, I guess.

Wouldn't like to get hit, though. But that's asking for too much already.

Asking for anything's just about too much. I figure it'll happen soon enough. Might as well enjoy what we've got while it lasts, aye?

[ Easy for you to say. ]

What's there to do in this place, anyway?

[ There is no community service or probation workers to be killed. Alisha is a little out of her element, here. ]

Loads of good pubs about, though for that, you'll be needing money which'll be requiring a job. Mostly, I just wander about.

[Because Hell if he'll be getting a job any time soon.]
