voice [smartphone]

[threadspell]

[Hear that? that's the sound of a very perplexed young woman, who doesn't understand why her smartphone has begun acting so strangely]

Hello? What is this? I didn't expect...

If this is someone's idea of a silly little prank, then I'll have you know that it's not very funny. If you're going to laugh at me, at the very least laugh at me for something that makes a little more sense!

It's not a prank, it's totally real, and people are trying to murder us over it.

Hi! Welcome to bullshitville, population us.

[threadspell]

That is definitely not funny! Silly pranks are one thing, but threatening people? Who are you?

[reapsthewind]

Asshat McDickerson. Naw, hey, it's not a good idea to give out your name on the network. Also, I wasn't doing the threatening. It's pure facts. Look back through the archives, if you don't believe me!

[It's a young voice on this end, early teens at best, if even that.]

No one's laughing.

[This throws Sandra for a loop. A child? She wasn't expecting that]

How old are you?

[icy_heavens]

[Huff.] Doesn't matter how old I am.

Excuse me -- they're right. Much too much has happened this network became active for it to even be an elaborate joke.

Re: [Voice]

[threadspell]

But if this isn't a prank, then what is it? I don't understand!

[Voice]

[scramasax]

Nobody else seems to, yet, either... and it's been happening since the beginning of the month.

Because things like mysterious numbers that turn your phone into a chat room are always pranks.

[threadspell]

[Well this is odd. Now instead of hearing people talk, she's got text appearing! Sandra switches to texting back]

What other explanations are there?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Plenty. Use your imagination for once.

Something serious is going on and the faster you stop thinking like this is nothing the better off we'll all be.

[dorkytracksuit]

No joke. Or at least a murderous joke if it is one? Definitely run by someone with no sense of humor, that's for sure.

[threadspell]

[Sandra switches to text]

And what makes it murderous? Who died, and why do you think this had something to do with it?

[audio]

[northless]

You're not the first one to think it's a prank. It isn't. People don't get murdered for a prank, for one.

[audio]

[threadspell]

I don't understand. How could this lead to anyone being murdered?

[Texted]

[espigeonage]

Greetings to you! No, I fear if this is a prank it's aimless and in quite poor taste besides.

You have a number, yes? Try writing it on a paper, or something of a sort. Strange prank it would be if that turned paper into a chatroom screen, wouldn't it?

[text]

[threadspell]

[Against her better judgement, Sandra has indeed tried out that suggestion. And now she is thoroughly weirded out.]

How do I turn it off?!

[paper]

[threadspell]

[following a suggestion here, Sandra tries writing out her number on a piece of paper. She doesn't write out anything though, being rather unsettled by the sudden paper chatroom...]

[A little late to the party, Kenji has glanced over the other replies before replying, himself]

It gets even better. The people that killed that kid? They're looking for us now.

Oh yeah. Welcome to Oz.

[Text]

[threadspell]

Why? What reason could they possibly have to do that?

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I bet everyone's already told you that this is real and how dangerous it is. So...

Hi, I'm Fay. [You can practically hear his huge smile.] Whatever it was that happened when you got the numbers, things like that are going to keep happening to you, so prepare for more strange memories or abilities or whatever to turn up.

voice;

[threadspell]

[Sandra hesitates for a moment before replying]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Fay. I would introduce myself but...I'm not sure I should. What sort of...strange memories and abilities have people been getting?

( audio )

[argents]

It's not something you can just accept that easily, I know. But at least you're not alone in it.

( audio )

[threadspell]

Thank you. That means...something. Although I'm still not sure what it is that I'm not alone in.
