The Hero would be happy to answer the Call to Adventure. After all, he's been waiting in the Call Receival Area, waiting for the message to appear - but he learned that someone's been clearing the voice mail behind his back. It seems that some well-meaning family, friends or loved ones are preventing the Hero from catching the call. Eventually, those well-meaning but obstructive people will discover that The Call Knows Where You Live, and will thus be forced to give in (assuming the Call doesn't exact revenge by killing them off first). Examples of Screening the Call include:

| - The Hero would be happy to answer the Call to Adventure. After all, he's been waiting in the Call Receival Area, waiting for the message to appear - but he learned that someone's been clearing the voice mail behind his back. It seems that some well-meaning family, friends or loved ones are preventing the Hero from catching the call. Why? Maybe the Hero's Love Interest knows the The Hero's Journey is dangerous and, well... Maybe the Hero has really overprotective parents who don't want their child harmed. Maybe some tragedy has occurred in the past and it's known that adventure runs in the family. Maybe the Hero is in store for some really nasty fate. Maybe the town is uncomfortable with the Hero's Stock Super Powers and would really rather he were just normal. Maybe they have an interest in making sure Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here (after all, adventure is really bad for property values). In really extreme circumstances, those Screening the Call might take the Hero out of the equation. Eventually, those well-meaning but obstructive people will discover that The Call Knows Where You Live, and will thus be forced to give in (assuming the Call doesn't exact revenge by killing them off first).
