❄ 001: staff paper: handwritten text

[pitch_slap]

[The handwriting is fine, neat, and flowing, a practiced hand, remarkably consistent. Someone used to writing a lot. It seems as if the post is written on blank music sheets, the letters following the lines of the staff. The numbers are written first, then the same numbers translated into musical notes. Then the writing begins.]

It seems like everyone on the network has got these numbers in their heads, right? And there's all these strange things in the news but what I want to know is

Has anybody had, well, voices? In their heads?

I know it sounds crazy, but I guess if it is we've got good reason for it, huh?

[There's a smudge where someone wrote something, and then erased it to a smear.] _sorry

Let me know?

[Well, that's a bit different, isn't it?]

[In clear, crisp handwriting:] Pretty sure hearing voices is a new one.

[She lives to be different. Only not because shh]
Oh.

[one set of staff lines down]

I was afraid of that.

[A bit of a hesitation, and then:]

What does it say to you?

[If life weren't so crazy in general now, he'd wonder about himself for even asking this. But. Life is crazy now. So.]

Different things:

Sometimes it's about snow and ice, even in mid-summer. Other times, dancing. Fighting, sometimes.

[One of those definitely gets more of his attention than the others.]

You can't do anything ice-related, can you?

[Most new people only have the one thing. But the mentions of ice seem so random otherwise.]

Do anything? I can do a little ice-skating, like ∞?

[Yes, she is among those with only one thing, and therefore confused.]

[Oh. Yeah, he guesses that was kinda unclear of him.]

I meant . . . powers. I'm guessing not, from the way you answered.

[pitch_slap]

Ah. No, I have not. The Voice seems to be the only thing, so far.

Seems really random for that kind of thing to be mentioned without them.

Weird thing is, I have ice powers.

Every time I think she starts to make sense, there's some new comment. So I don't know how strange it is.

Like you are able to freeze things?

Text; handwritten

[icy_heavens]

Exactly like that.

[It's the reason that ice and snow talk got his attention, after all.]

If I ever get something of the same sort I will let you know, in that case.
