[Jolene gave a cackle at that solution.] You ever seen that thing in the amber? Everyone I ever talked to about Chime said she shows up once in a while and she's got a big old mysterious 'shop' that she folds out for a single day and then she hides everything up again. What makes you think she's gonna put in for experiments?
[But she's got her hand on her chin, ragged fingernails chewing into flesh as she thinks.] Celena, you want to hold your chip up? Is it saying anything? [She can see the strange crystals behind the other woman and she's a little relieved that the inherent discomfort of being close to the life beam doesn't translate across the amber along with sound and sight. If she can hear any faint noises from Celena's attempts to hold the amber slice close to the crystals, she'll do an initial attempt to mimic the chiming noises much like Celena had been doing; of course, what they'll hear is a lot more hoarse than Celena's enviable voice... but Jolene's had the benefit of actually returning to Chime on more than one occasion to drop off what she's eventually discovered are flowers, so she's had a lot of exposure to very silly bell-like chatter.]
