[Obsessing over the numbers while trying to practice that weird skill for making small objects float was definitely a bad combination. Hugo seems to have gotten the control down enough to have caused the object to make tick marks for his set of numbers.

And then he sees a bunch of weird stuff on his wall, not realizing that it's also broadcasting him and his living room. He's sitting on a couch and the living room itself looks pretty nice. There's nothing around that would give away the fact that he owns an adult clothing store, not even his own appearance would right now.]

Great, so on top of the random things floating now I'm seeing and hearing things. As if I didn't have enough problems with these weird numbers getting in the way of bookkeeping each day. Definitely am still regretting going to that stupid art exhibit.

So either I became the victim of another joke from one of my employees or this is just a bad dream and maybe I'll wake up in the morning with no more weird stuff except for some of the customers. I'd really rather avoid having to visit a shrink.

[Mort's keeping his body language casual and nonthreatening, and he doesn't appear to be visibly annoyed.]

Did you hear the voices without using that string of numbers?

[Because that's when he'd start worrying about the possibility of someone having an issue that would need to be checked out...]

I wasn't even aware that I used a string of numbers.

[Which is true, he activated it via manipulating an object in such a way that it made tick marks of his number in the air.]

It's the usual manner of accessing this network, really. A string of numbers you can't shake, inevitably entering them into something or writing them on something, and then the network appears.

The first is right, the stupid numbers won't leave my head and I almost screwed up the books the other night. But I didn't do anything with them, I was just messing around with making a pen float so I don't have any more accidents of things jumping in a bag when I'm near the register.

You didn't somehow input the numbers on accident with the pen?

[Because if not...how odd.]

Not that I recall. I might have by accident since they won't leave my head and I sometimes start writing them when inputting the daily sales and expenses.

That's highly possible. As I said, they do seem to be rather persistent up until the point at which one first connects to this network. Absentminded entry of the numbers is almost to be expected.
