Theories [Video]

[The view is from Marisa's laptop webcam, and is pointed at a medium sized corkboard in her room. It has which has a number of pictures gathered up from the network stuck to it, along with a few articles from the news, and pictures of various people, some of which have notes scribbled on them in red pen. All of them are connected together but lines of red thread tied to push pins. The whole thing looks very haphazard and cluttered.

Marisa herself comes into view and adjusts the camera slightly before stepping back to address the network.]

Okay so...a lot of us have been collecting information, but I haven't heard anyone trying to actually put it all together. So I took a shot at it.

[She starts talking quickly, while occasionally pointing to things on her conspiracy collage. If she got any details wrong, she's not giving anyone a chance to interrupt until she's done.]

I'll start with the mine incident. There was a guy down there who told us to collect a gem and rebuild a magic seal, but there was also a bunch of evil bats and chupacabras or whatever those hairy things are. So the obvious question is was he there to lure us in there in the first place? I don't think he was because if so why bother giving a speech before setting off the ambush. That mine, by the way, was where the rocks that were turned into those weird snake statues came from. Whatever is going on, it has to do with that mine. And maybe also with Thunder Corp, since they were the ones who donated those statues to the museum.

Next up is all this weird animal activity. I haven't been able to find any news stories about mutated animals or strange animal activity, so that means one of two things. One: They are only showing up near people in the network. Two: Someone is covering up any word about it. I guess it could also mean that we're all going crazy, but if we go down that train of thought we're not going to get anywhere. We've got swarms of bugs and animals, giant scorpions with gigglevenom, some kind of creepy fungus, and I don't even know what else.

Finally there's us. We're remembering things that have never happened to us, and some of us are mutating in fairly dramatic ways or learning how to do impossible things. It's super cool, for sure, but it's also really creepy for some people who are getting so mutated they can't go out in public without freaking random people on the street out.

My theory, then, is that there's something in that mine that is driving everyone crazy, and that Thunder Corp. wants to exploit it. The same thing that's happening to all those animals is happening to us. Maybe there's like an alien meteorite or something down there. It's starting to take a toll on us.

As much as I hate to say it, I think we need to go back down there and find out what's causing everything. Then we need to stop it, because as cool as it is that some of us can summon spirit monsters or teleport, other people are falling apart like rotten fruit, and that won't do at all. Just for example, I haven't seen or heard from Bakura for ages. I'm starting to get worried.

[Deep breath]

So I'm going to go back down there. Who's going to buck up and go with me?

[he can't help laughing a little. crazy? well maybe a little but it would be even crazier if they ignore that there might be other possibilities for their weird symptoms. he did believe that people do get reborn after all.]

I thought we were going to borrow Chris' drones to send down there first.

That's what Strider said. Ones that we can send into the mines to scout out the layout so we won't be walking into a second trap.
ursoreckless: (the stupid it burns)

[personal profile] ursoreckless 2013-08-01 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
If I remember correctly, there was a bunch of grue attacks including some kind of fungus and a gigglescorpion that we were having problems with. With things calming down, we should be able to move on to the drone sweep plan.

It's the tap water! The water is what's driving everybody crazy!

[He wishes he had more comment on her theories themselves. However, there are too many - and he doesn't know that he'll even process this to any lasting effect; he doesn't want to think that this is anything so... random as it sounds.]

This is Anthony. I am willing to go back inside the mine.

[And on that last point, he isn't sure what to say or not say - he doesn't know much; just thinks the obvious. If she asks, he'll continue from this, then.]

I have also seen Bakura... He has not gone anywhere.

Why wouldn't it be? Everyone has to drink water! How do you know Thunder Corp or the police or somebody else is putting some chemical in the water that only reacts inside the bodies of people who get these weird memories or powers?

Besides, I'm pretty sure it can't be anything in the mines. I wasn't anywhere near them and I'm still having all this weird stuff happening to me!

I guess. But you could also say that the water is only affecting certain people, and you know for sure that it's getting spread to everyone in the city. Whatever's in the mine...who knows how far that reaches?

It just sounds like the water's more likely.


[Because you have to be strictly logical when constructing a proper conspiracy theory.

Five minutes after he's sent that message, he follows up with:]


Also, I drank tap water once and then talked to a horse, so I'm pretty sure something's messed up there.

The hell are you doing.

[[The voice is coming from behind her where Bakura stands, arms crossed and expression annoyed. He had actually been outside when he heard the noise and decided to sneak around back to see who was harassing his door.]]

I think I asked Strider, but are the drones going to send us live feeds or just record and bring the videos up for us to watch?

It comes from a different tap than the one here, so it's not going to be poisoned.
shiromadoushi: (Sigh)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-08-01 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

...and I have to talked to people and said shit on the network.

[[Just not many and not much]]

I've just been busy.
