If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was a very elaborate ARG that's trying to get some advertisement. Makes perfect sense, except for where I didn't get any ads.

I guess this hasn't been the first strange thing to happen to me this summer. And looking at that guide that's going around, it seems like my sudden talent for swordplay was directly caused by...whatever this thing is getting at.

Fencing, though? Really?

Nothing against it, but I won't really be much help with that. It's a bit difficult to carry a sword around without drawing some unwanted attention. [Where would he even get a good one these days...oh well. Continuing on.]

I'm sorry if I seem a little rude. It's a lot to take in all at once.

I'm rambling anyway. I'll just go ahead and introduce myself.

My name's Roy. [He pauses for a moment as he types, ultimately deciding against giving out his last name. After all, he has no idea who'll answer here. If anyone.] I go to Locke City University, if anyone else is enrolled there. It's nice to meet you.

Aside from that guide thing, is there anything else I need to know about? Going on the assumption that this isn't some fever dream, I mean.

roy, what are you doing here?

[He's totally assuming this is the Roy he knows, yep. Roy totally took fencing once, right?]

Hello. My name is Kari Acosta. I might have seen you, depending on your department.

Well, at least your talent's useful.

You're not the first one I've seen who's suddenly known how to use a sword. Not a bad skill to have if there's trouble and you've got access to a sword-like object.

"If anyone else is enrolled there.' Trust me Roy, you'll find alot of other students here. Also grad students, professors, and some highschoolers.

Speaking of which, I'm Thomas in engineering. Welcome to the club.

Think outside the box, Fency. As long as you have something sword-like, it works, right? So if you're near anything that's like that, you'll at least have a rad way to defend yourself. That seems pretty helpful to me.

The first thing you should know, is not to drink the water. The second would be, uh, actually just really don't drink the water, or trust the police. Apparently.
