01 ☠ Written

[goodboybestshot]

[Thad was originally just scribbling a bunch of notes onto a piece of paper. He's just gotten back into Locke City and of course, like every time, those numbers are back, tormenting him at the edge of his mind. So, this time he sits down and writes them out, and went on to write a bunch of notes about Babylonian Numerology or some such- but then the network happens.]

[And he about jumps clean out his seat. There are probably still some half written notes left on the page and it's several minutes before he comes back. When he does, there is a bit more writing.]

What the hell is all this? Either my notebook is possessed by the computer or that milk was a little more sour than i thought.

Good lord im going mad. Can anybody read this?

[enjoy the beautiful calligraphy slowly scrawling its way across your notebook, Thad]

No. You're going to need to rise above basement level literacy before even the people of this forum can parse your cliche drivel.

This is your notebook speaking. Writing. Whatever.

Please stop writing on me. It tickles.

text; definitely not japanese

[goodboybestshot]

[Well, that sure is something. He can't read it though. That doesn't mean he isn't copying it down on something that is NOT possessed to decode later.]

That certainly answers one question and raises many more.

text; japanese until she decides outright insults are more fun I'm sorry

[thorny]

[that will certainly be a fun moment of discovery for him, I'm sure]

I'm certain that it does. I'd caution not to ponder them for too long, however, or else that one brain cell valiantly carrying on the fight may simply combust from the stress.

not even a little!
well
probably not??
i can't say with great certainty, i don't know you!
but...

[ after two trolls he could probably use a real answer, maybe. ]

[goodboybestshot]

Har har nice try. Im not THAT far off my rocker!

[He reads through it, so it takes a few minutes for him to get back to her. He's ...not sure what to make of all this. Especially because, well. The numbers thing, and what he remembered when the numbers thing happened- that's all there.]

I suppose if im mad, i must not be the only one. Is this really all true? [And then there's something scribbled out here.]

I leave the country for a few measly months and it seems like everythings gone insane.

[ Aria doesn't mind at all. She tends to access the network while doing other things. Like watching bad movies or cartoons or sort of reading a book or something. ]

many people believe it but some don't.
personally i think it's true.
i'm not sure what "truth" is the end result here but i mean it would be sort of hard to deny weird things are attacking people and people are regaining weird abilities/body parts/memories when i have seen it happen.
i COULD if i really wanted i guess but i have never been the sort of person to argue w/ something that is right in front of my nose.

:o :o :o
you left the country??
omg where did you go

[reckless_fire]

Really? You DID ask if your notebook was possessed.

So, does it make you feel any better to hear that you've found a secret network that nobody else can see unless they've got one of those stupid numbers?

[goodboybestshot]

Jury is still out on that one. I am also not ruling out expired food induced lunacy.

Ive just been linked the faq.

[goodboybestshot]

[Oh yes.]

Curious.

[thorny]

[aaaaand now she switches to English]

Not curious enough, it seems.

It would be nice to have an explanation for that thing i saw when i was younger. Also why i keep seeing that bizarre string of numbers? I always thought it had to be for a reason i just never imagined it would be something quite like this.

[Uh oh. Right, explaining this without making a huge deal over what he and his father does. Somehow this seems like the wrong kind of security risk to take.]

I travel a lot! Most recently i was in Belize.

[goodboybestshot]

[Oh, hello.]

And why is that?

[thorny]

If it were then you'd be doing something a bit more productive than smashing your face against the metaphorical brick wall. (๑╹っ╹๑)

[reckless_fire]

It's not the food you have to worry about. I'd advise against the water, though.

That's a start. A few things have happened since the last update, though. HMs running around, a few people were attacked. Stuff like that.

[comparative_insanity]

[His handwriting is abysmal, but then again, so is his spelling.]

possessions mite be a thing thats happening maybe and your notebooks the least thing too worry about

but I aint sure Ive got the iman imagen imaginasion to be mad and your probly as mad as I am if thats any help?

[eras]

yeah, the numbers are the main thing. and for me, i think it explains things, too!
what is the "thing" you saw when you were younger?
if you don't mind talking about it i mean.

!!!!!!!!
did you go to the caracol ruins
or on the caves branch river
or the lamanai ruins???????

( text, handwritten )

[extricated]

Quite a few people can, actually.

... By the way... numerology? I believe you made a small error in your second to last line.

[ he's carefully marked it and scribbled a correction in the margin. ]

[goodboybestshot]

I think youve confused "smashing my head" with "observing" my friend.

[thorny]

Not at all. Observation doesn't involve asinine commentary.

Commentary that, I might add, has been made ad nauseum by this point. You've failed in even crafting creative stupidity.

[goodboybestshot]

The water? Whats wrong with the water?

[He takes a wary glance at a glass he'd gotten for himself, um.]

[goodboybestshot]

I... well. This will sound silly but i have never actually told anyone. I never thought anyone would believe me?

!!!!!!
The Lamanai ruins were the reason for the visit though i have seen the other two before in a previous visit! Do you like ancient civilizations???

text;

[eras]

i promise i will believe you 100%! :)
i don't think that's silly either
honestly i think the thing about the numbers that all of us had
probably was the same a bit.
i only ever told my sister and she didn't get it until she did.

!!!!!!!!!
oh my gosh you have?!
can i have your life please
or oh my gosh do you have pictures
can you describe your visits
i REALLY like them yes
and travel
i like all these things all these things are good

[reckless_fire]

Somebody did something to it. Dunno how the hell they did it, but if anybody with a number drinks it, they get a 6 or 7 hour laughing fit.

Stick to bottled water, and you'll be okay though.
