[Video: Phone shakycam of Sara in what appears to be an abandoned restaurant of some sort. Definitely dead district.]

[Whispering loudly.]

Being chased by monster.

[Camera turned to point shakily and briefly at a giant pink snake statue outside.]

I don't think it can get in here but it's just sort of stalking around and I can't get out.

Is this related to the network thing or was the dead district always this fucked up, I don't know.

Help???

[By the way, Mamizou has not yet noticed that she has her tanuki ears back. Also, since she's escaped now, kindly specify threads as Pre-escape or Post-escape.]

[Okay, see, browsing through what's obviously an otherkin rp group was all fun and games, until this video pops up.

It's... Either really dedicated cosplay and rp, or someone's actually run into an abandoned building and is hallucinating or something?? Either way, there's a kid in trouble and a roleplay group is not who she needs to speak to.]

Woah hey, where are you? Are you hurt?

[two_stones]

Somebody distracted the fucker long enough for me to get out. It doesn't seem interested in leaving the dead district.

[umbrael]

[... Shit, it was RP, wasn't it? Well, at least no one is having a mental breakdown in a busted building.]

... Okay, props for the convincing video, but I'm not actually in your message-board game-thing - I'm just gullible or something tonight. Ignore me or get a mod to delete my comments, I'll get back to lurking.

[two_stones]

Are you actually doing this right now? I admire your dedication to clinging to the old reality.

Try disconnecting, then writing that number in your brain on a piece of scratch paper.

[umbrael]

[Clinging to -- old--?! You know what, fine, whatever:]

What, did I forget the brackets or something?

((Yeah, I'm clinging to the "old reality", aka, "reality".

Monsters aren't real, past lives aren't real, magic isn't real. It sounded like you were having an ~episode~ and were blogging about it instead of getting help.

P.S., if you actually hallucinate inanimate things coming after you, get help.))

[Doing something because someone on the internet told you to is dumb, especially if it's weird 'magic' shit by writing on paper. What's that supposed to be, astral letters? ESP? Pshhh.

... Though hold on, the number thing -- nah, coincidence. Or a bad memory, maybe he read the number associated with this message board before, and forgot about it until recently.]

[two_stones]

I'm serious! I will not continue this conversation until you do this thing that I said.

1/2

[umbrael]

Ohhhhh nooooo! You're not going to talk to me? :'( Now what am I going to do? :'''(

[Aaaand he goes offline.]

2/2 handwriting

[umbrael]

[... Much, much later - possibly up to a day later, depending on how patient everyone is and how bored Doyle gets at work-]

What the sweet fuck?!

[two_stones]

Do I have your attention, dude?

[umbrael]

Fuck you

[But, a few minutes later]

Fuc

How ..How do I know I'm not hallucinatin

fuck it

start talking, catgirl

[two_stones]

I'm like 90% sure they're not cat ears but that's not the point.

Basically, all of the shit you saw on the network is 100% real. Also, there are monsters in the dead district.

[umbrael]

[His response is quick and sort of knee-jerk:]

Bullshit

[But... Connecting to something with just paper...?

No - no. Just because one crazy thing is real doesn't make every other insane thing true. Even if he's hearing this from the inside - but maybe they're just fucking with him. Yeah, sure - he's not exactly a likable person.]

Monsters how?

[That was just a statue in her video. She could still be crazy, even if he's writing on paper, right?]

[two_stones]

Monsters like the giant walking snake thing that nearly killed me earlier today. That was a real thing that actually happened.

[umbrael]

Your video was shaky it just

[Pause as he rewatches it.

.... .... ...!]

you're shitting me.

[Well it - looks like it's moving but it could just be the video quality, the shakiness, the angle, the light, etc, etc...]

[two_stones]

I don't really care if you believe me about this part. If you want a better video, you can always go there yourself.

[umbrael]

yeah no thanks

[Yeah-ha-haaa, fuck that, he's not going to the abandoned part of town, that's just asking for trouble.]

[... he will, however, start looking through the network with a little more interest.]
