OPEN ACTION;;
After priding herself on being such a good, punctual student, what's the first thing Audrey manages to do? Run late for class, that's what. She was fairly bouncing on the tips of her toes waiting for the train to reach the right station, then dashing out the doors as they opened along with everyone else.

If one runs into the young woman today, it will definitely be somewhere on campus. Her schedule is a little packed. Her first class is in classical violin work, though the other few are all basic freshman introductory courses. She will be making it a point to not only have lunch at something of an appropriate lunch time but to also stop by the library later in the evening. One can find her in the library mingling chiefly in the fiction sections and musical sections but eventually she'll drift to more religious and philosophical topics.

[Evidently this little leak onto the network was intended to be a voice message left for someone else, at least at first. This is what happens when you get a voicemail and forget to save the other number to your phone before you try to reply.]

Don't worry so much about me, I promise I'm fine. It wasn't that much of a fall, you know. I'm only going out for class today so I shouldn't be out too late. Try not to take those news reports so seriously, unc--

[A pause. It seems the speaker has realized their mistake with a low sigh.]

I suppose that's what happens when you have a number stuck in your mind.

[ Eyebrow raise. Though it's, uh, technically not visible. ]

I'd say that's the least of your concerns now.

[She draws back from her phone a little in surprise. She hadn't expected an answer back like that and now she's left eying her phone considering how to respond.

Gut instinct says a stranger suddenly speaking up like that and talking about concerns can't mean anything good. And yet... well, Audrey is a curious girl, not to mention not much of a shrinking violet so to speak.]

It would seem so.

[A beat.]

Who is this.

[ He smirks a bit. ]

Bold little thing, aren't you?

Someone you don't know, but will soon enough.

[... Wait, has she managed to tap into some sort of pervert? Ugh. She's not sure exactly how that works out.]

I must have the wrong number. Pardon me.

[Like hanging up is going to help this.]

Don't feel too bad. First time I jacked into this thing was through my locker.

Oh, and the news reports are full of shit. Just FYI.

[Another voice. Audrey fiddles with her phone a moment. The only thing she did different was call the number that had been running through her head. Was this some sort of chat network then? Had she simply seen the number in an ad?]

Your... locker? [Jacked with what thing.

The bit about news reports sends her brows raising up.]

I thought as much. It's all urban myth anyhow.

[Isn't it?]

Yeah. Anything you can input the number into connects you to this thing. Cell phones, computers, paper, and lockers, apparently.

And I wouldn't say it's a myth exactly, just that the news reports aren't giving you the real story.

... How is that possible.

[Why yes there's doubt in her voice.]

And when you dial it into your phone by accident.

Hi. You're new to this, aren't you?

[Ah, and now it's text! What sort of number did she use!]

Very.

[She doesn't mean to sound so sarcastic but this is just...]

Welcome to Wonderland, Alice.

So by now I guess you've figured that you didn't dial an actual phone number.

It doesn't seem like it. Is this some form of network?

[ Colette's on campus as well, spending a good amount of time in the library looking at books. She loves to read even if she doesn't have the time to all that often between school and work. Even so, libraries are really relaxing. So she's quietly scanning the fiction section and picking up a book or two from the shelves to read the backs. All is going well until she accidentally walks sideways into a library cart that has some books in it, stumbles, and knocks it over. ]

[Mineva comes around a corner naturally just in time to catch the thumping of falling books and the clank of the cart itself toppling over. Surprise is the first response, then she picks her way over a few fallen books to check on the culprit of this stumbling.]

Are you alright?

[ Oh no, someone heard!! (Well, of course they heard, she just made a loud noise in a library.) ]

Yes! Yes, I am, thank you. I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to do that. Or make so much noise...

[ She brushes her hair out of her face. ]

Oh-! These poor books... [ She crouches down to start picking them up. ]

[She watches the blond scramble for a moment, then she can't help but laugh lightly.]

I'm sure they've had worse things done to them.

[Audrey kneels down herself as well, mainly to turn the book cart upright to begin with. And then she started picking up books as well.]

[Jack's voice sounds particularly harsh and grating on this point:]

Don't believe everything you hear on the news.

I haven't been. It seems too... odd. Too...

[She's having trouble putting her finger on it precisely.]

You know family though.... well, worrying uncles anyhow.

No. I don't.

[Uncomfortable silence for a half-moment there, and Jack adds, not wanting to exactly blunt-force traumatize another person on the network:]

If I were you, I'd keep an eye on what you see using this number. Be careful.

If you're seeing this—or, well, hearing it, it's not really safe for you to listen to a lot of news sources right now. It doesn't sound like it makes much sense, but trust me.

Did you get hurt or something?

Nothing really. I tripped - it wasn't one of my more graceful moments, I'm afraid. I think I frightened him though.

[Mostly because of how she reacted to the trip. One moment she fell and the next it was this sudden, rushing sense of deja vu that had her sitting stock still as she tried to place it.

She pauses there. So many people talking or texting at her. This is definitely some sort of network. There's curiosity in her tone.]

Everyone has said that so far. I haven't been listening to them myself but my uncle has. ... Are they really so bad?

It's enough to make anyone feel tense. That's probably why he's worried about you. [ Her voice was nice to listen to, gentle. If that was any indication, he could understand why someone would be more worried than usual. ] What you're connected to right now is a way to communicate with other people who've experienced something. Something they can't really explain.

There's a way to read the backlog, if you want. But it's not so pleasant.

No, not at all, aside from a few scratches. I was just a little clumsy.

Still, even a few scratches - do you need any help at all?
