Hello, Chloe Price…
-Rachel laughs-
Was that sexy? You literally just left. I can still hear your truck through the open window. In fact, you can probably hear it too, here…
-Silence-
Hear that? That's you, Chloe Price, wreaking havoc (as always) on the sleeping Arcadia Bay. I wonder what the old Tobanga would say about all that racket? …Ugh, fuck that old stump. Who cares what he'd say? I love hearing your stupid truck…
Anyway, guess what I found just now in the darkest corner of my closet? Any guesses? Come on. Going once, going twice…? It's the old night light, of course! Remember the one with all the stars? So now I'm lying on my bed, alone, staring at the ceiling. It's got nothing on the junkyard sky, but… Do you realize it's been over two years since that night? The Night of the Tempest. Do you even remember it, Price? How we walked home with all that ash falling on our heads? How you McGuyvered this thing into a fucking lighthouse? ...And held me?
...Well, I do. Somehow, despite all the drinking and the smoking you've been putting me through, I still remember everything. That present you gave me two birthdays ago? Yeah, that one? Well, I still have it.
-Rachel laughs-
Stop laughing, or blushing, or whatever it is you're doing.
-Rachel sighs-
But back to the Tempest. We've had some good times on this isle, my faithful Ariel, but… don't you think it's time these cloud-capped palaces and solemn temples dissolved? I know. I know we haven't talked about L.A. in a while, and I know it's my fault. Mostly? With all the… stuff, and mom, and… the club, and school… And us. We were happy. Are. Happy. Still. But this town… it feels heavy again. Like we're on Jupiter or something. Do you feel it? Have you been feeling it all this time and not saying anything only because… of me? I wish you'd tell me, Chloe. And in fact, you will, because we will be talking about this. Tomorrow. I'm just recording this today to try out this new phone mom got me. Why not a car, right?
I wish we'd left that night… It would have been so much easier then, when we were 16. And now I'm suddenly 18… What are we still doing In Arcadia Bay? Do you even want to leave, at all? Well, you don't have a choice. You oweth me, Ariel, for freeing you out of that pine!
Seriously, I got this weird feeling today (you probably didn't notice) that this is going to be my last birthday in Arcadia Bay. One way or the other… Whatever that means. Maybe it was a dream I forgot. Probably means I'm going to set this town on fire, if you don't take me away. You know I can…
Anyway, we are talking about this tomorrow. For now, thank you for another wonderful birthday. Good night, Chloe Price. Blazingly yours, Rachel Amber.

Are you even supposed to "sign" these voice messages? Who cares. Not like I'd let you listen to this. I'd die of shame. Nope. It stays in the app. For all of eternity. Mwah.
