[So Sano has done a little bit of foraying into the network and...well.]

You know, some people may call what we're experiencing a sort of mass hysteria. I've never really been fond of that "disease" as it tends to go unresearched and instead falls under the category of Things That Have No Explanation.

I never thought I'd include myself in the hysteria, but here I am, regardless.

I've only glanced back at the network and I think I've seen the big current events, but if there's anything else urgent that I should know now that I'm here, I would appreciate being filled in. We may not know what we're going through, but the least I can do is conduct a little bit of research of my own. Who knows, maybe by putting our heads together we'll get a clue or two.

And this is completely unrelated, but I saw someone mention they had puppies they were giving away. I don't know when this was - like I said, I only glanced back - but if that person sees this and is still in need of a home for one of them...

[That was weird, talking to a network of supposed strangers, but they all must start somewhere.]

There's been discussion of a database of things we know, the things we've remembered or had change about us...but I think that bullet points of what's happened and the relevant posts could be good for getting people straight on the basics before we try to give them too many details.

[consiliarius]

Yeah, getting everyone up to speed before inundating them with the really weird stuff.

Speaking of, maybe it's too early to say just yet, but I wonder if any of those little personal details will eventually connect to form a larger picture so we can understand the situation better. Not just individually, but as a group. We've all been brought here for some reason and somehow, bit by bit, but still as a collective.

[iaijutsu]

It's too early to say, but I don't think it's too early to speculate. I've been wondering about that point myself.

I got back a memory that someone else from here also appeared in. I've been told it's happened to at least one other person, although I haven't spoken to them directly to confirm, since I heard it secondhand and I'm not sure who it was.

[consiliarius]

Okay, so already some people are experiencing the same thing. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure regaining memories isn't a common occurrence so I can't just consult WebMD for an explanation or home remedies.

[iaijutsu]

If it were that simple I imagine most of us would have done so by now.

[consiliarius]

But we must think of the stragglers why may not have.

[iaijutsu]

...are you suggesting we include a bullet point telling people not to bother consulting WebMD?

[consiliarius]

No, no, that was a joke. And not a very good one, apparently.

[iaijutsu]

Sorry.

[Sometimes (often) they just...slide right off him.... :( ]
