[A heavy sigh punctuates the beginning of this message. No video today, Audrey simply isn't up for that much.]

Is there anyone not being affected by the water currently? Are there those of you out there who have managed to avoid it so far?

[A pause, then she adds.]

I hope you are feeling better, Colette. Is there anything I may help you with now?

[Text to Banagher;]
Forgive the interruption. I merely wish to see if you recognize any of these terms.

Believe it or not, there are some people smart enough not to drink it.

[searchforpeace]

I'm glad to hear as much. I take it you're one of the smart ones, yes?

voice;

[talkshitgetsis]

Mhm.

It's all anyone is talking about on here, anyways. Keeping away from tap water isn't the most difficult thing in the world.

[searchforpeace]

I suppose not. I had thought filtering and boiling ought to be enough but...

[She laughs a little sheepishly.]

[soulsborderline]

Bottled water and diet soda all day every day over here.

Voice

[searchforpeace]

So it is only the tap water affected then. I wonder if filtering does any good...

Voice

[soulsborderline]

Not from what I've heard. The best theory I've seen on this thing is there's a chemical alteration to the water and not just an additive.

Although I have noticed that no one outside the Numbers Club was affected. Otherwise the whole city'd be laughing, right?

[argents]

[ No way. ]

I know some of that. Not all of it, but

Do you know what any of it means?

( text )

[searchforpeace]

Only who Riddhe Marcenas is, honestly. I know who the Zabi family is only in so far as I am concerned. And what I can infer.

[There's a pause then the next text.]

It was a long conversation. There are points I've taken from it though, however I can't say I remember any of the information myself.

[The next is a series of texts, however many it takes for all of this.]

The Federation and Neo Zeon were connected through backdoor dealings. Some of these involved myself.
The Zabi family was somehow connected to the One Year War. There were references to a speech given by a Gihren Zabi.
Gihren was apparently her uncle. Her name was Mineva Zabi.
The Vist Foundation had control of Laplace's Box, whatever it might be.
Some incident took place at a place called Industrial 7.

[argents]

[ The more he watches the texts come through, the more it really starts to hit home. He knows this. ]

I lived on Industrial 7. That sea of lights you told me about before, like a net of stars in the sky, that was it.

It's a space colony, Audrey.

[vetala]

One incident was enough for me, though I did attempt a few more trials to see if there was any way to filter out whatever is in it. I've been drinking bottled water ever since I finished.

Forever voice;

[searchforpeace]

I see. That must have been my error as well. I thought perhaps filtering and boiling would be enough...

[Well she's a bit of a fool today.]

Forever voice;

[vetala]

It isn't. I checked for the sake of... Well, mostly because I wanted to know.

Voice

[doomedtheworld]

The tap water in my apartment building always tastes off so I avoid drinking it anyway.

Voice

[searchforpeace]

Oh? Even filtered?

Voice

[doomedtheworld]

It's a pretty crappy building.

Luckily, I found out about it before I drank some from anywhere else. I've been sticking to juice since then.

[ursoreckless]

After the first laugh, I've been using bottled but it's getting ridiculous.

voice;

[searchforpeace]

It's not hard to use bottled but...

[She sighs a touch.]

Things keep occurring and our worlds grow more and more limited by what these 'invaders' will let us do and not do. Or whoever is after the Numbered.

voice;

[ursoreckless]

I'm missing my fix of coffee cuz of this crap.

It must be easier to spot a Numbered just by how much they giggle for no reason.

[summit]

I have. But, uh, I'm new - and I've got bottled water, and gatorade.

audio.

[searchforpeace]

It must have been a rude welcome then.

audio.

[summit]

I wish I could say I've had worse, but, I really haven't. But, so far I've managed to avoid it, safely. But I've been avoiding all water that doesn't come from my fridge, or the store.

[audio]

[mezool]

[ this girl seems a bit more put together than the others... azure feels better about going to voice for some reason. ]

Nope! This one totally got me. I've been drinking Gatorade ever since. At least I got a set of medals out of it?

[audio]

[searchforpeace]

Medals? What sort?

[audio]

[mezool]

Umm... Well, they're metal medals. That is, they're medals made of metal. [ ... WHY DO THOSE WORDS HAVE TO SOUND SO ALIKE. oh well, she's pretty sure that she's got the picture. ] I don't know what kind of metal they are, but they're pretty heavy. I could try taking a picture of them, if you want to see?
