[She starts off with a bored sigh]

Is that what those numbers were for? I hoped it was something more interesting than just some little secret club. That's such a stupid induction process too. You get to run with the cool kids if you remember a sequence weird numbers that seemed more like a dream? You should rethink this a little, I believe.

On the other hand, this could be the gateway to meeting some interesting people right? Instead of the usual questions from me, why don't you tell me about yourself instead. What kind of people have I found myself with here?

[ugh, fuck it. CALISTA, YOUR PHONE IS NOW RINGING. because like hell is he going to do this on the network.]

[sugoku]

[You are the worst fun-killer. Seriously.

She's going to eye her phone, seeing that your number is the one coming across. Yet she was going to let it ring about before actually answering the phone.]

Yes? What is it, Cain?

[cava]

[would she have him be anything else?

and rude, girl.]

My, do I need a reason to call my sister? Honestly, now.

[he's taking this a little more seriously than usual, and it...might show based on how he didn't take an opportunity for "ma petite soeur".

whether he thinks this is ridiculous or not, he really isn't sure what he thinks of Calista being pulled into it.]

You've got the numbers as well, then?

[despite the inquisitive little edge it takes at the end, he's not really asking here.]

[sugoku]

[If he was asking, she would have been far too amused.]

I think that much is at least obvious by now, but you weren't really asking.

[Takes a very small moment of thought before continuing.]

By your call, I'm going to take a stab and say you saw them too. The thing that gets me is how serious you sound about some very random occurrence.

[cava]

Correct! Excellent job.

[and a pause.]

Idiotic as it all is, it seems to be quite dangerous.

[not that he doesn't know she can handle herself even better than he can, but...]

Ah, yes. Giving out personal information online is such a good idea. It's an even better idea when it's a secret, possibly malicious network accessed by a code that haunts our subconscious.

[sugoku]

You're right about that sounding idiotic.

[Good job, big brother. Calista doesn't really get what he's trying to say, as for not he just sounds cryptic and overly dramatic.]

[sugoku]

That's why people usually use pseudonyms, isn't it? Leave out key details here and there and weave together an incomplete story to satisfy the greedy need for information.

[cava]

Calice de tabarnac, Calista...

[ugh, this is difficult enough. he would rather get through this with as little sincerity as possible. he fires off a private link on the network to the FAQ.]

There, now read that.

I would certainly like to know who it was that set up this little club up to begin with.

But welcome either way! I have not been here long myself and i dont find myself to really be all that interesting. I travel a lot?

Text

[sugoku]

I would like to know that myself. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Travel is interesting. Where have you been, stranger?

Text

[goodboybestshot]

Certainly not. I cant imagine what sort of person this mysterious benefactor could possibly be. It makes me a tad nervous.

A lot of places! I was in belize recently.

[sugoku]

[ There's a bit of silence over the line as she reads it

Okay, so what's your point? Just because I saw some numbers I have to watch my back?

Text

[sugoku]

A little bit of danger adds flavor to mystery, but I can see why it might be nerve-wrecking.

Really Belize? What were you there for? How was it?

[cava]

That would be about the long and short of it, yes.

[sugoku]

It's really funny to hear you showing concern.

[cava]

I wouldn't grow accustomed to it.

[sugoku]

Good to know. I wouldn't know what to do with you being gross.

[goodboybestshot]

Perhaps if this were only a thrilling tale from a book or a tv show. Putting it in real life changes things i think.

My father does archeological work. It was very nice!

[cava]

[ok there's a sound that definitely isn't Cain sputtering a little bit on the other end. he should have expected that.]

Pardonne?

[sugoku]

Sounds to me like you don't like the feeling of your blood pumping or your heart beating fast. What a shame.

Find anything cool this time?
