The Cloth Phone
>> Object Classification: Mental Hazard <<

==Description & Properties==
Object 20 or the "The Cloth Phone" is a corded rotary phone resembling the Model 500 Western Electric telephone, however there are key differences between the two, the commonly plastic shell of the Model 500 is instead wrapped in a thick cloth like fabric, this fabric seems to be wet and soggy, the fluid (Dubbed Cloth Fluid) from the Cloth on the phone is green in colouration with no discernible smell, However this liquid (when separated from The Cloth Phone) Crystalizes quickly, however some samples are able to remain when placed within the contents of carcasses, these samples are studied as quickly as possible before containing them with the carcass being rotated every 6-7 days or so, after around 2-3 rotations however the fluid is too contaminated to provide accurate data.
The Cloth phone also deviates on its layout, usually Rotary phones have a dial to perform calls, However The Cloth Phone only has a 12x10 grid of various buttons, these buttons can be pressed to call various "Numbers", only one call can be made per person on the phone with the buttons being randomized for each person, some accounts of a call through the cloth phone include hearing Children's birthday music, growling similar to that of a howler, Noises similar to that of a large insect and digestion noises such as churning, chewing or swallowing. Some people state that they sometimes had actual conversations with something "Vaguely Human" Through the phone, it is unknown what this may be. 
The Cloth Phone is a enigmatic object which seems to only be visible and interactable for a handful of people, the ones that are usually the only people able to interact with The Cloth Phone are those low on sanity. Due to this many people associate The Cloth Phone as a sign of coming death, its made even more difficult as The Cloth Phone has some type of mind altering inhibitors which make those able to see it compelled to interact with it. Once someone has interacted with the Cloth phone it is almost impossible to stop its progression to eventually kill the victim, due to this it is recommended to restrain the people who claim to witness it.
Interactions with The Cloth Phone are sparsely documented as (other than second hand accounts) no first hand experiences with the cloth phone are documented as they are either too deluded, paranoid or aggressive to provide an accurate description. It also seems most of the interactions with The Cloth Phone are quickly forgotten by the one who experienced it, memories will remain of The Cloth Phones existence however the call itself will be mostly removed from the victims mind. This makes it hard to understand if it is the voices themselves which cause its effects, The Cloth Phone itself or a mix of both.
However what we can determine is the effects it can have, the following is a detailed report on the most commonly experienced Stages of damage caused by Interaction with The Cloth Phone.
==Usage and effects==
----
Stages of Cloth Phone sickness.
If anyone sees or says that they see the cloth phone, remain calm and restrain the individual, attempt to feed them Almond Water to restore sanity while they are in this frenzied state. If at any point they make a successful interaction with the phone it is already too late as its effects begin to progress in as little as 30 Minutes.
===Stage 1 (30 Min.)===
Many victims may become overly paranoid or anxious, they may face paranoia, delusional mindset, mood swings and bouts of extreme aggression or depression. Note that in-between progression of Cloth Phone Sickness individuals experience 5-10 minutes of complete clarity, they may suddenly begin stating wishes or last wills, these times are easily identifiable as the individual may suddenly be active as if the Sickness wasn't there. This does not mean however that the victim is "Cured" of the Sickness.
===Stage 2 (2 Hr.)===
At the Two Hour Mark the victim may begin seeing auditory and visual hallucinations, they may see entities swarming them, things shifting or moving and as if they are being watched, all there senses are constantly heightened and it is at this point where they become incredibly allergic to Almond Water, in-fact any Almond Water Consumed by the individual over the past 24hrs prior to their sickness will be regurgitated causing severe dehydration, Any Almond Water They come into contact with beyond this point will cause them to become violently ill.
===Stage 3 (4 Hr.)===
Muscles in the victims body will begin twitching spasming, they may have consistent seizures and increase in hallucinations, it will be hard for the victim to distinguish what is real and what isn't, This is also where the individual may begin having difficulty breathing, they begin to experience sever respiratory issues such as difficulty breathing, difficulty staying conscious due to lack of oxygen and constant tiredness due to the lack of oxygen and constant vomiting which may occur.
===Stage 4 (6 Hr.)===
This is the second last effect of Cloth Phone Sickness, every other stage is applicable here and amplified with the addition of Cloth Fluid beginning to crystalize, Cloth Fluid seems to behave differently depending on the environment its placed in, in a carcass it refuses to mix with the rest of it and refuses to crystalize causing it to be a good storage containment, however when in a living subject it seems to stay dormant before rapidly beginning to crystalize causing organ failure, internal bleeding and muscle stiffness.
===Stage 5 (8 Hr.)===
Death, The individual will experience either organ failure of a major degree and die, die due to internal bleeding or suffer a brain aneurism due to head trauma caused by seizures.
===Post Mortem===
The Cloth Fluid will leech of the remaining healthy organs which may still be in usable conditions post mortem, the fluid will begin forming cloth like fabric on the inside and (if the body is preserved) on the outside as-well, these have to be disposed quickly to avoid contamination of water sources as Cloth Fluid is impossible to detect in water sources once mix however it will not lower its potency.
==Locations==
Due to the nature of Object 20 its location is constantly variable and cannot be whole-heartedly determined
==Variants==
Variations of The Cloth Phone have been noted however haven't been confirmed, there is seemingly a cloth phone which is covered in a blue cloth with only one button which can call any wanderer that the caller may desire, There is a red cloth phone which seems to be much more active than the regular one as it seems to actively hunt other wanderers.
