[ Okay, what have we here. This is so not the site she wanted. ...Sophie thinks, anyway. Let's just let the reader tell her what's what - holy crap why aren't there any labels or anything what is the content of all this? She's going to have to listen to it all isn't she. Or at least the most recent posts. With any luck there'll be some sort of "hey this is what we're doing" blurb in at least one of them.

>Audio of something that sounds like it's meant to be philosophical. Moving on.
>Audio about a missing person. ????
>Audio from someone equally confused, with crazy talk about whiteboards and user interface. Doesn't seem immediately useful.
>Video about witchcraft. ??????????
>Some sort of image. At least, she's assuming as much: she gets the number of the person posting (no usernames, Sophie guesses) but nothing else in the body, so it must be alt-tagless. And then when she fast forwards into the comments, she hears something about someone going somewhere with the poster. So it's probably some sort of invitation. Moving on.
>Her screen reader sort of hates this. Moving on.
>Okay this one translates fine. It...sounds like a high school student's journal entry. Is this some livejournal alternate??
>A video file! Sophie exits it at the mention of a stolen crayon. Journal site is looking pretty likely. A journal site full of teenagers. Her interest is waning, weird layout or no. Still, not like she has anything better to do.
>Another video, natch. ??? What is a flashback echo thingy? And laughing water? It sounds like someone who isn't a teenager. Okay, something about a gym, nothing to do with her, moving on.
>The video roll continues. Back to teenagers, and - ...surprise shankings?? What.
>Audio about the water again, what. Should she be worried about the water? Is this a conspiracy theory site?
>Another image (?) with no description, if her detective skills of "hey a number and a post" followed by "absolutely nothing read" are anything to go by. Moving on.
>Audio about numbers. Okay, that probably refers to the numbers she's been remembering and was fiddling around with immediately prior to this. Secret club??
>Text about a...talking cat.

...Okay, Sophie's trying, but absolutely none of this adds up to anything that makes remote sense and she can't find a directory or anything so she can either shut this out and go back to browsing the web where things make sense or post in the multimedia forum or whatever and see if someone can explain what the hell she's stumbled upon.

Yeah, there's no way she's not asking, this is too bizarre. ]

Okay, I give. [ You've won, guys. She's completely lost. ] What am I even listening to here? I was pretty sure it was a journal site for a few posts there, but now I'm thinking you're all either roleplaying or talking about some show or book I haven't been exposed to. [ Maybe?? All her guesses are really not working out here. Maybe she should have tried to listen to the comments on things, but none of the posts seemed that relevant to her. ]

Or if not I should apparently be very seriously concerned about surprise shankings and the water? And also should lock up my crayons, I guess. [ which is not an immediate concern but if she liked crayons maybe she'd care more. ] Not that I own any, but if I did. But the talking cat part sort of screams "hey Sophie, guess what you found? A roleplay site about talking cats" which I guess is cool and whatever but what's with the number key bullshit? That's what happened here, right? [ That's how she accessed whatever-this-is, she's pretty sure. ]

Also, you guys need to work on this site's navigation like whoa. Is a home page not a thing anymore? I thought that was pretty much always a thing. Like "hey, welcome aboard, here's what you're actually getting into here". Although the lack of any content tags or something to indicate what's going to be in whatever I open is probably a sign this place does not do things that are normally things.

...Also, if anyone's going to clear up what this is, could you do me a favor and not respond in the image spam you lot apparently like to do? [ She's referring unknowingly to handwritten replies and entries; they don't show up as readable text to her reader, and she's assuming they're pictures that aren't being registered because of a lack of tags or...something. She may sass anyone who replies in that manner. ~~Or in any other manner if she feels like it, honestly.~~ ] And avoid the chatspeak, for the love of god. That'd be just swell.

Or if you don't want to explain what's going on, give me recs for movies or shows to watch or something so this isn't a total loss. My criteria are that they have to have explosions or something exciting happening but can't have a bunch of montages or huge music sequences with cool action shots but not a lot else because no. ...Well, if the music is really cool I guess I'll give it a pass, though. Also don't you dare rec me a romance.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

So I'm getting cream of the crop suggestions, here?

I guess if, uh, you want to put it that way.

At least, if my opinion counts.

Well, we'll see, won't we?

But dude, you should always think your opinion counts. No one's going to listen to someone who doesn't think their own opinion matters. Be more firm about things!

[He's being lectured by a middle schooler.......]

Uh... Y-yeah, I guess you're right...

[ AGE DOESN'T MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO GUTS, BERTHOLDT! ]

Of course I am! You have to stand your ground, or you'll get pushed around by anyone!

[ like her, maybe. ]

[IF IT DID, HE'D BE ...ONE AND A HALF.]

I... that sort of thing doesn't bother me though.

What.

How can it not bother you?

W-well...

Think of it this way... if you hear a slightly annoying sound one day and can't figure out what it is... and the next day and the next day and the next, ectcetera, are the same... the noise is eventually not so annoying, or out of place.

And then... after a while... you won't even notice it anymore.

So basically you're saying people push you around all the time?

[He pauses a moment, before sighing.]

I guess so.

...Yeah, that's unacceptable. I have no choice.

I'm going to have to teach you how to be a man.

Wh... what?

I-I'm just fine...!

Nope! No questions asked, we're doing this!

Now! What's your name? And speak up! No stuttering!

U-uh...

[He's already failing.]

Uh, Bertholdt.

Wrong!! Try again, and this time say it loud and proud!

[He swallows hard.]

Bertholdt.

Well, okay, that was without stuttering, but I think you got even quieter.

So, uh, better on the proud part, but less so on the loud part.

Third time's a charm?

[Bertholdt sighs audibly and clears his throat. By now he's getting annoyed (with himself,) too much to actually be shy. She's a tiny girl anyway, what does he have to fear?]

Bertholdt.

[ He's rewarded with a grin he can't see, but Sophie give a little whistle he can hear. ]

That's how you do it! See, didn't that feel better?

A little, I guess. I don't really see the point in it though.

If you introduce yourself like that, you're less likely to get walked all over!! If you start out like you seem to, though...

I-I can't help that though...

You can so! You introduced yourself that time fine. No more uncertainty!
