What is going onnnnnnnnn?????? [audio]

Date: Midnight on the 24th
Characters: 987-1234-23423-87345

[A familiar source of yelling is yelling. Yelling at a time when most people want to sleep.]

WHAT???

IS HAPPENING???

EVERYONE IS UP AND RUNNING AROUND AND WORRIED AND ANGRY!

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

[Guess who is a dog and thus wasn't explained anything?]

[Oh, if audible winces were a thing...]

Sadie's got it: it's an evacuation so officials can safely defuse a bomb. The disruption should only last a few days.

[Emphasis on should.]

Where do you live?

WHERE IS THE BOMB?

The end of High Street.

[Walter sighs, and that, at least, is audible.]

It's unlikely you're sitting on top of it, though.

[There is perhaps half a minute's break before he responds:]

IT'S NOT! HERE! IN THIS ROOM!

[He's sure that nobody would have let something dangerous into the house. Nothing that would cause everyone this much stress, at least.]

[UH.]

I don't think that would be likely, no. Think more 'in a nearby building'.

[Funny that it sounds like Chad had to check, though...]

...

HOW NEARBY?

[His voice fades a bit as he's running off to hop on a table and peer out of the window.]

[A moment's hesitance to make sure Chad is back in listening range, and then...]

It'd be within another building, or underneath it. Don't expect to be able to see it, especially while it's dark out.

[And even if the building's mostly torn apart by now, the construction/demolition crew should be blocking most of the view, right?]

...HOW DO THEY KNOW IT'S THERE THEN?

Because they were already clearing out the area for a new building, and someone double-checked.

[And it didn't go off then, obviously.]

...

Oh.

Why did they not double-check earlier?

[At least he stopped yelling?]

That'd be the wonders of land development prioritization for you.

Now, is there anything else, or has the fuss died down enough that you can sleep?

[And presumably all the other Numbers can, as well.]

NO!

They're moving us now.

[Or well, he's being moved, but same thing, right? Nobody would ever think to separate him from his family, right?]

[There's a more aggrieved sigh this time.]

Has anyone said how long being moved will take?

They aren't. TELLING ME. ANYTHING!

Well, that's just rude.

[And so's the yelling, for that matter.]

Do they sound like they know what's going on either?

[He has one hand on his forehead and is seriously considering trying to go back to sleep.]

...Some of them know, at least.

[He can't quite tell if all of them do, but then that's not necessary if they're told what to do. And aren't just locked away.]

[Oh good, the volume's down.]

Are they avoiding explaining it directly to you, then?

[Or is something else going on? the rest of the question goes.]

Yes!

They closed the door before they explained it.

[He is very offended.]

[Huff.]

Well, they should have included you in that discussion, then.

Any idea why they wouldn't have?

[Have fun dodging that question, Chad.]

[Because he's a dog.]

I don't know. They should have.

[It's really rude to kick out your dog for important discussions like those.]

Good that we agree, then.

Maybe you'll have better luck in the morning?

[At this point, a door opens not far away, and the feed is abruptly interrupted.]
