[ Writing the numbers down somewhere was all well and good. Open up an empty Word document and type them in, and voilà. John finds it's a little more difficult to actually figure out where to go from there, and once he actually manages to get it to do something, it takes him a while to notice. So the network gets a view of his concentrated frown and his tongue sticking out at the edge of his lips as he squints at the screen.

When it does hit him what he's managed to do, he suddenly jerks back with a bit of a surprised expression. Recording, huh? That... has to mean-- ]

Aha!

[ Almost like he meant to do it. Sure he did. A bit of a smile at the screen, too, and he'll be all settled.

He managed to make it do something! Looks like he can get the hang of it after all. Computers are one thing, this is another and, really, he's not so sure he likes either of them very much. ]

There we are. Wonderful.

[ British accent, go.

He settles back in his desk chair, clasps his hands together in front of his chest. ]

This is some sort of… network, then? Like one of those modern social networks? Oh, dear… Never been much for those, but, then, this isn’t quite like that either, is it?

Numbers that repeat themselves over and over until you try them out. I never would have believed in telepathy before this.

[ He’d thought over what to call it for a good while, and that’s basically what he arrived at. Telepathy. What else could it be called? ]

Well. Is there anyone who would care to tell me just what this is? I saw you're out there.

[ He clears his throat, and purses his lips. Nothing... else to say, no. So how does it end this? Or send it, or... Ah, there. ]

[ Adrian didn't particularly like using the video uplinks on the network, but that accent was a little too nostalgic for him to ignore. So, here he is, effeminate and well spoken with a clipped, and very English, tone of voice. ]

This is a little more than a social networking site.

[ Oh. The ring of an English accent is always incredibly nice to hear. That alone is enough to get a smile. ]

Yes, I'm... beginning to understand that.

[fatherssins]

[ The continued nostalgia causes Adrian to smile, it's a nice expression which brings out an inner warmth and gentility ]

Ah, yes, forgive me. I have a terrible habit of stating the obvious.

I'm not very good at explaining things to new people, but you can ask me if you like?

I think I get the basics. What still confuses me is this... matter of memories, abilities, and things... That whole list of it. I'm guessing no one else knows any better what that's all about.

[fatherssins]

Well, we've all seemingly had different experiences. Recently I... grew new teeth. So it depends on the person, I think.

[dododo]

New teeth?

[fatherssins]

I-- [ He paused, explaining this wasn't going to work, there was really only one option. There was a moment of silence before Adrian opened his mouth and curled back his upper lip, just enough to show those super-sharp, pointed canines. He held that expression for a moment before relaxing again. ] --Yeah, new teeth.

[dododo]

Oh.

I. I see.

[ Give him a moment, he can be okay with this. Totally. Yep. ]

[fatherssins]

[ That reaction caused Adrian's brow to furrow ]

I shouldn't have shown you...

[dododo]

No, no, that's all right. This is all just... a lot to take, in you see.

[fatherssins]

Ah, sorry, I probably shouldn't have exposed you to that, on top of everything else.

[dododo]

No, I'm sorry. My reaction wasn't appropriate. It's hardly your fault, is it?

[fatherssins]

[ In a gentle, amicable sort of manner ]

I certainly hope not, [ he chuckles softly ] I would've had to have done something pretty terrible to get these, surely?

[dododo]

Yes, I imagine you probably would have.
