## Event Details

A Voice claiming to be the notoriously missing Isabela Madi-Shaw contacted players in the same way a Voice would, as opposed to a physical appearance or texting. Players only heard her voice and said she had difficulty remembering things. She could remember her name, the Club, and her teacher, Mrs. Staneck. She didn't appear to recognize THEE-I-DARE's name when asked, and reacted in pain the second time she heard it. She had players perform the Old Tongue for her, saying it allowed her to sense them, even though she could not see them. She would then take players she contacted to Saturation Control, asking them to follow the path that led to the SPEAK-AS-ONE's symbol before it was too late.

IN-HER-TEETH didn't believe it was the real Bells, and that she was just being used against the Club. IN-HER-TEETH believed the Song could have preserved Bells' memories and, if Bells was actually gone and this voice was not her, she needed to help discover who this fake Bells was. IN-HER-TEETH was sure that the real one must be dead and urged the club to be safe. IN-HER-TEETH believed the other Voices have abandoned their search for Bells, but she wanted to know whether or not it was really her. When confronted with speculation that IN-HER-TEETH would be the one to know if Bells was dead or not, due to “everyone meeting her in the end”, THEE-I-DARE said that sounded like “mysterious garbage”.

THEE-I-DARE did not want to tell the other members of the Pact about the reappearance of Bells until he was sure it was not a trick.[*citation needed*] He was concerned that if enough people sent prayers to the Pact about Bells, it would have divided the Pact's efforts, even though they agreed to follow SEED-THE-GRUDGE's command to target HUNT-THE-STRONG. He believed the Pact would be unable to fight a war on two fronts, and it may come down to a choice between saving "our kind" or saving "his kind". He wanted to think of a tactical way to inform the Pact about Bells out of fear that they would split over it. The Blackout Club gave this new "Bells" voice tests to determine if it was really her by asking her questions where only she knew the answer, While THEE-I-DARE approved of this testing, he believed they needed more proof, stating "FOR THE PACT TO ACT IN ANY WAY... EVEN ...UNOFFICIALLY... THE CLUB WOULD NEED TO BE SURE". THEE-I-DARE thought the timing of Bells' reappearance just as "obstacles began to erode" was suspicious, so he sought to isolate a Watcher in the Place Between to find the answers that SPEAK-AS-ONE hoarded.
