[Oh, looks like Thomas is posting again. However he and the wall behind him look far less than good. He's pale, sweating, and the drawings that had been seen on the walls during his previous communications are ripped up. The room in general just looks like it's been turned over.]

I hate that water. Besides the migraine that ...

[He trails off, counting on his fingers and using the same hand multiple times.]

Jesus, around twenty something years’ worth of memories popping in your head gives you. I realized something. I called my brother after getting all that in my head and talked to him before looking at old posts I made on Facebook and other websites before all this started. I'm not me anymore.

All the drawings, all the cartoons I've been watching and all this. I didn't use to be like this, but these new memories are changing how I view things. I mean, I talked to some guy during my first few weeks in the club about how cute animal crossing characters were. I wouldn't have even touched that game before coming into town.

There's one thing worse though. From the echoes I've been getting, I realized someone on the network is from these memories. I'm not going to say who, but if they're who I think they are and more people I 'know' about show up, we might have other problems besides an alien invasion to worry about.

[Thomas rolls his eyes at that, but the implication certainly seems to worry him.]

One last thing before I go insane, we wouldn't happen to have any doctor's in the house would we? I think I'd like to try and deal with this please.

They're just trying to get us back into an unstable abandoned mine. If it collapsing again wouldn't kill us, they might still have those black things in there. My money is on complete fabrication.

Oh you've met Hajime? Yeah, I feel pretty bad for him. He isn't the only one getting physical changes, but he's the only one I've heard of getting a full body change.

It's a little elaborate, isn't it?

We talked a little and I met him after that poor woman was changed.

Slightly more believable than there actually is a magical gem in that mine. Either way, it's still probably unstable and has those black things in it.

Yeah, I heard about that. Not pretty stuff.

They might as well put up a huge sign that says it's a trap. They might actually catch people that way.

Yeah. It wasn't.

[They would probably catch Thomas that way.]

I'd ask who would be stupid enough to do that, but yeah probably.

I still can't believe that's happening to anyone at all.

It's something people do. I don't know why but put a huge sign saying 'don't push the button' usually makes people push the button.

I think a lot of us don't believe it has. It just has.

I once read an article about them testing that and, based on the number of presses compared to the people in the area, people wouldn't just do it once, but multiple times.

I can understand them not wanting to. All of these echos and monsters are freaky enough without people turning into monsters.

Sounds like something this group would do too.

I hope they stop acting like it's not real. To some of us, it is.

I can guarantee you that more than a few of us would do it out of defiance rather than curiosity.

Well for alot of them it hasn't hit home. Or they just haven't seen the evidence yet.

Screw the Man, is it?

A lot of them are still just kids. I know I don't like acting responsible over anything, but I still know how to accept the evidence that I've seen.

If you've met the yelly pizzaboy on the network, you wouldn't even be asking.

Very true. The fact there's so many kids getting pulled into this ... it just isn't right.

I'll be yelly too if I was working as a pizza delivery boy. I think I confused him when I compared my government to the warring states with too many rule books.

It isn't. I don't know what is up with that, but all these kids... What did they do to get into the club?

I suppose you're right. Him confused? I'd pay to see that. He's been trying to blackmail me into giving him bigger tips.

What did any of us do? I got my first echo when I stepped off a bus into town. I don't think there's really anything tying us all together. Especially considering the age range. It's not like a horror movie where we all were hanging out and accidentally took part in a hit and run or something and are now paying for it.

I always start with five and work my up depending on what I've ordered and how long it takes them to get to my place.

Mine was sitting watching the sun rise while waiting for a tow truck. I sometimes wish it was that easy cuz then we can make sure the kids aren't getting hurt.

You must tip him pretty well since I don't think he obeys the laws of physics let alone traffic.

Yeah I do too. Less the being involved in a hit and run thing, and more there being a set thing that's causing all this.

I probably do.

That's what I mean. This is just... too random for comfort.

Exactly. You can't look at someone and promise them they're family or their friends won't get involved. I'm never letting my family visit me here just in case.

No you can't and I think most of us should just stay away from family.
