[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.

[threadspell]

I certainly won't be telling you my name! And why should I trust what is written here? They are only the facts as you say them to be.

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

How old are you?

[reapsthewind]

You don't have to! Seriously, go read the other posts. Some of 'em aren't written. Some of 'em are video.

Also hey, lemmie guess: you either got a weird dream or vision that's like a memory, or knowledge and you don't know where it came from, or a small physical change, when you got your number, right?

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

[threadspell]

I...

[Sandra falls silent, for an agonisingly long minute]

You - you can't know about anything like that! What is this?!

Re: Voice (Cellphone)

[threadspell]

And your parents wouldn't disagree if they knew you were playing pranks like this, I suppose?

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

[Vaguely annoyed.] I didn't do this, and it's not a prank.

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

Re: Voice (Cellphone)

[threadspell]

Then what is it?

Re: [Voice]

[threadspell]

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

[Text]

[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?

[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.

[Voice]

[scramasax]

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

Voice (Cellphone)

[icy_heavens]

I'm not sure. I've only been here since yesterday. But if you look back a little earlier, you'll see it's no joke.

[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.

[reapsthewind]

Nobody knows! It's a mystery~ Get used to it.

[threadspell]

[Sandra switches to text]

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

Voice (Cellphone)

[threadspell]

I don't know if anything on here can be at all believed.

[audio]

[threadspell]

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

[threadspell]

No, I won't! I don't have to get used to anything. I'll find out what's really going on here, just you wait.
