[ In truth, Jack hadn't actually paid much attention at all to the game even when they had gotten mysterious messages from beyond. Hancock's was... roughly what he'd expected, and he'd actually been pretty surprised to see one at all. But otherwise? He didn't give a shit, if he was honest. There wasn't really anyone dead that he would have cared enough to message.
However, after watching a set of videos, he had actually started looking at the game again. Just briefly, since he wanted to see if there was anything there, but that was about it. It was a stupid game, and his obsession with it was secondary until recently. It was growing to an obsession, since he wanted to do everything he could to break into the data just out of reach.
So, his response comes quickly, as if he were waiting for a message. ]
Where are you? Are you
Okay, kind of a stupid question, I realize. But are you as okay as you can be?
Think you could describe it to me? The monitors especially, since that's weird. I want to try and do something here to help, Liz. I think I might be able to.
Figured he was. He sent me a message a few weeks back, actually. Tell him he's a jerk, just in case he didn't get my message back. Also tell him I would use more colorful language, but you don't need to be saying that part.
[ Surprisingly, considering all of the information here, Jack only responds to one part of her message. ]
I haven't, not yet. If I'm honest here? They're going to be hard for me to read. But I will. Hell, probably after this, because knowing you're still around somewhere? That makes it easier.
Next time you can talk to me, send me a message. If you can watch too, then I'll talk to you as best I can.
And tell Rhys to send me one too if he can. Trying not to waste time here, but tell him I watched the videos in his drive. We have stuff to talk about, I guess.
I don't know if we'll talk after you read it. I just had to let you know some things.
[ Ugh... she shouldn't have been impulsive and messaged him so soon... But he says something that strikes with her and she clutches her chest a little. It hurts - this hurts. But she hates him, in a way. ]
I will. He's not well. Not at all. I can't get through to him. I'll tell him when I think he's ready.
[ Oh no, one more thing. ]
...Don't waste your tears on dead girls. Just save them.

It's different. There's a lot of monitors and a shed - a beach I guess?
Hancock's here.
I punched him in the face by accident.
...And there are others here.

Anyone other than the obvious?
[ Then, after a moment, another message: ]
Is it peaceful?
no subject
It's like some canyon. I can see the stars.
...Ok I will.
No. Just the dead. I haven't really got out. ... Rhys is here. He. He's been watching you - ... We'll talk later about him.
[ She's really running out of time... ]
Peaceful but lonely still. Even with people here.
Did you read my letter?
[ She thinks he only read the latest one. ]

[ But the rest there's more of pause, but he tries to send a reponse as quickly as possible. ]
I understand, actually. So look out for him, kiddo. If you can. Or want to.
But I will. Either I'll find the answer, or I'll be joining you two there. That's the only set of options here, plain and simple.
Take care of yourself, Elizabeth.
