[ azure sounds like any other high school girl on the network, albeit a little weirded out after initial contact. she's got a good head on her shoulders, though, and she's determined to deal with it!

also, her voice sounds a little... wavy? it's not enough to disguise her voice entirely, but the modification is there. ]

Is there a way to get to the FAQ without having to ask someone to link to it or looking for it yourself in other posts? Because, um, duh? Really good idea. If it's already somewhere, I guess I sound stupid, but I couldn't find it on my first shot. Who runs this message board anyway?

I'm using a glass of water here and I don't have an iPhone or computer right now, so if I disappear on you, sorry! I don't know how long a glass of water can hold a connection, you know? I'm gonna try and find one really soon. [ 'cause it's not a great idea to make a video post here, right? the sooner she can switch to text, the better. ]

A glass of water? Seriously?

[These messages were getting stranger and stranger, no joke.]

I don't think anyone runs this place. It just sort of is.

Seriously! I didn't even know about this network thing until just now. It's crazy...

So, why is it here in the first place? Like, if we're gonna get weird numbers in our heads and weird powers and four more arms or whatever, wouldn't whoever made this network want to make it easier for us to figure out what the heck's going on?

I didn't figure it out for a while, either. I heard you could write on paper or a wall to make it work but... a glass of water?

Maybe it thinks we're smart enough to put our heads together and figure it out on our own. Almost everyone's still pretty confused, but almost everyone tries to help people get un-confused.

Now we know, I guess? I'm not gonna, you know, actually write on the wall, 'cause Mom would kill me, but I need to figure out a way to get on even when I'm grounded from my phone and computer. Maybe I'll accidentally find another way on!

That's... really nice, actually. I mean, I guess there's a chance that the FBI will get us all or we'll all die because of weird fuzzy black smurfs, but at least we're getting along.

Or if you find yourself locked up somewhere. This isn't all fun and magic tricks.

Tch... yeah, don't talk to the police about this. Everyone says they're working for whatever's out to get us. Or whatever we're supposed to stop. Or however the hell that works.

Mmhmm, I've got that part! I definitely don't want anything to happen to my family. Oooh, maybe I can make a list of what works to get on the network and what doesn't... [ ... she's sounding perfectly cheerful about this. maybe too cheerful? in that way teens get because they think they're invincible. ]

Ugh, dumbass... Can you write on it? Then you can use it to get here. There. That's your list.

[That was way too much cheer for his taste. Stupid kid was going to get herself killed by something if she kept this up.]

[ :T ] You don't have to be mean about it! It's not like we've tried everything yet. What if like... writing it in ketchup on a hamburger doesn't work? Someone's got to try it!

[ tldr: i'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT I'M RIGHT ]

Ketchup in.... [That does actually make him stop for a few moments and consider it.]

You'd need a really damn big hamburger, or a ketchup bottle with a really skinny nozzle. [Then, with a bit of grinning insincerity,] Why don't you try it, then? Give it a go. Tell us what happens.

Hey... Are you making fun of me? 'Cause now that I think about it, that means I have to make a really big hamburger and I'll have to eat it all by myself. And that sounds like a great idea.

I am absolutely making fun of you. But if you can make it work? Hey. You've advanced... science, or something. [Was this science? Did science have anything to do with this? Hell if he knew.]

I'll send my findings to a scientific journal, and then I'll have a discovery attributed to my name, and getting into college will be easy from there. Best. Plan. Ever. Too bad we can't actually tell anyone about the network without getting killed or sounding crazy.

You'll write a paper on the wi-fi enhancing properties of ketchup?

[That gets him laughing.]

At least we'll believe you, here. You'll always have that.

I have to start somewhere... But this isn't going to be it. Unless one of you can write me a really good letter of recommendation? [ ... ok, he's kind of a douchebag, but he doesn't seem like a downer. that's a plus! ]

Tch, me? Write a letter? Someone like me? It would go something like "Dear college, let this kid in or I'll kick your ass, sincerely, me."

[Totally a douchebag, but not a downer, no sir.]

Hey, depending on who you are, that could totally work! I won't put all of my bets on it, though.

[ not that she would send a letter like that! :o she wants to get to college, not fumble through life with a terrorist warning on her record. ]

[Oh, if only you knew the stuff this guy got up to, kid. If only you knew.]

Maybe it depends on the college, too. It probably wouldn't be a good one, if that letter lets you in.

[ GASP! is azure talking to a criminal ]

Really? Well... You're the one who said it, not me! [ Hee hee hee. :D ] Guess it's back to regular old USC for me.

[Are you a criminal if you haven't been arrested yet? ...okay yeah she totally is.]

I'd better not write you a letter, then. Tch, you're really so keen on it? College? What are you going to take? What are you going to do?

I'm really good at bio, and I want to be next to the beach, so... marine biology! I'll move to California and study orca whales or something. Also, be right back. [ she's moving to her paper laptop doot doot doot ]
