- ore complicated than a cell ph- ... I think it's on.

Let me see, let me see. *pause* Yes, go ahead, son.

Thank you.

Hello, my name is Odd Thomas, and I may be in need of some assistance. I seem to be located in the...

Goc Desert, my boy.

Yes, that. The Goc Desert. I need to see if I can get out of here, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Huh...nice name.

The desert huh? Still need some help? I don't have a car but I can at least come find you and lead you to the Lightpost.

I was supposed to be named Todd. It was a typo on the birth certificate.

I'm still here. You're the first to make any sort of response on this... strange cellphone... thing.

It has character. My name's Jinx.

Fair enough, I'll be along in a bit and I should be able to track your signal.

Did your partner tell you what's going on here?

[loopmeinoddone.livejournal.com]

It does. That's why I've never made an effort to change it.

He gave me the basic break down. Save the world, essentially. Some how I'm not all that surprised.

Used to this sort of thing huh?

Much to my dismay, but there's no use in arguing with the powers that be. ... even if they are a Tree-God.

Now that one? That's new.

That much is true. I like to flip off the sky when I get grumpy.

Good to know there's a direction to throw general anger and resentment towards.
