It's just flat missing the last phoneme. Fay-pick 'em
Regardless of whether they make sense or not, the possibles (one syllable words).

Fey, fade, fake, fail, fame, fane, fair, phase, fate, fave. Note that fail, fair (including weird pronunciation of fear) include diphthongs (Fay-ul). Some of those can be eliminated for nonsense (the word has to be a vowel), leaving: fade, fake, fail, fair/fear, phase. Least likely is fear because Donna doesn't talk like that.

@Telos>> Isn't it funny how unfiction doesn't exist for characters in ARGs? Yes, we know PMs read the board, but characters have a blind spot. (At least according to TOS and good design).

I agree fear makes the most sense, just doesn't sound like it to me. Dunno

@dawndilion>> The diphthong is there, it's just more pronounced in Southernese.

I'm kinda partial to 'phase,' just because that would be cool... as a sort of synonym for shifting between time lines, world states, whatevahs.

Yeah, PM is a bit too cute... Oh wait, interference from the future. Yeah, that's it. Rolling Eyes

I might try 'Ryan' again a bit later, but need to work for a while. Still think the best move is to ask her if she knows a Ryan and admit we can't really make it out. Give the guesses.

Whew! A lot can happen during a full day of school.

With that being said:

1) It does sound like fear. It makes sense in the context AND it's the most likely sound.

2) If it is fear, what would she be fearing? Some sort of time anomaly-ish thing that happens?

Well, I'm gonna agree with "fear," only because whether or not the diphthong is there or not, I'm still hearing a long E sound. The beginning of "fail" would have a long or short A sound (depending on the diction, I'd say short just because she's in New York).

EDIT: How weird would it be if present Donna eventually became future Donna, like, while we're still playing? And she's like, "We have to save Sophie, I'm gonna send your past selves an email?" Trippy.

It's now 8:40pm in New York and well past the afternoon, which is when she was planning on being back with Sophie.

I also never received a response from her regarding the link to Syracuse and her twitter is quiet. Looks like something may have happened.
