[How goes it, Prospero?

If any of you are awake around this time, you can make out from the feed large stacks of books and papers scattered around. It looks like whoever owns this phone is in the library, but there's no one sitting in the chair in from of the camera. Just then, another pile of books land on the desk, and they shake the phone. The chair moves and it appears to be Nathan.

A pencil behind his ear, he reaches behind him and pulls out a small notebook it appears. He takes a seat and pulls over a few books, writing something in the journal.] Let's see...

If these tales are right... [The next part is more to himself, but some of the words can be picked out from his speech. 'Location, adventure, treasure.' Looking up in the middle of whatever it is he's doing, he notices the phone, raises a brow at it.]

Are you-- aww, come on!

[He reaches over to turn off the feed, shaking his head.]

[He pauses.]

Well yeah, almost getting killed can do that. You turned out fine though, yeah?

As fine as can be expected, Persona and all.

Persona... so they'll wake up to help you, is what you're telling me.

Apparently. If it hadn't, I'd probably be dead right now.

Good to hear you're still in one piece, pal.

I'm Nate. Nathan Drake.

Good to be in one piece.

... The name's Lindsey.

Lindsey? Good to meet you. [Over the phone? This is one of the most trusting guys you will find. Ever.</small.] Have you been here long?

Eh. Not even a month yet. You?

We're in the same boat. I haven't been here that long either.

Yeah? And no Persona yet?

Not yet. I'm still... figuring out the 'wake it up' part.

Nearly getting eaten seemed to work. I dunno, it's like it knew I was in danger?

I'm not in the mood for risking my life, really.

What if mine's picky or something?

... Eh, I don't think it'd let anything bad happen to you. That's not why we have 'em. Like... I dunno, it sounds fucking crazy, but even when it's not the Dark Hour, I can tell that Lancelot's there. Like he's looking out for me or something.

Lancelot's your persona, right? [A pause as he listens.]

Huh. Guess my luck has been a little better since I got here.

Yeah, and it really doesn't make me sound credible when I say there's a knight of the fucking round table taking up residence in my head but there you go.

Well it doesn't exactly make sense that I was in the Himalayas and here in five minutes flat, but here we are. [He's shrugging, even if it's not seen.]

I'll let you know if mine ever wakes up, sound good?

Sounds like a plan to me.

Good luck on your treasure hunt, by the way.

Thanks. [A pause.]

I gotta finish up here. You mind if we talk another time?
