7th Howl [Text, Tuesday morning before school]

[professorwolf]

Good morning, Mr. Lyall here.

[He's given up on code names, hiding his name, or otherwise pretending he's not him. He's already given his name out to too many people, and it's just too difficult to keep track of things.]

Has anyone else had a visit from a charming gentleman by the name of Detective Jason Sherman? If he shows up, I'd be wary, just as a heads up. He smells off the way some of the other police officers smell off and he asked questions about Paul.

Also, has anyone been keeping an eye on that statue in the dead district? I've been trying, but I only have so much free time, and I'd rather not be too obvious about it. I know someone mentioned the possibilities of cameras? Or we could set up some kind of schedule. It's the only place we can reliably watch without risking arrest, so I think we probably should.

And finally, on a less serious topic... has anyone lost a ferret? Or knows someone who has?

Enjoying it, I hope?

[Random texting conversation with a former student: nice and normal. If only he could get over the fact that he's doing it in a Word document.]

It's been nice! Though I do miss High School sometimes.

How are your classes going this year?

[Text]

[professorwolf]

Well enough. Everyone is getting antsy about summer already, and my AP students are cramming. About normal for this time of year.

[Text]

[angelskills]

I'm glad to hear that things are going as normal.

[Text]

[professorwolf]

Yes, despite all this, anyway :) I have several current students and at least half a dozen former students who are all on this network.

[Text]

[angelskills]

Ah, yeah... there seem to be a lot of us students! I wonder why that is.

[professorwolf]

I don't have any idea, but I don't like it. One of them seems to think it's like a video game or coming of age story, but I don't favor that at all. That implies an actual author of this whole experience, following entirely human tropes in storywriting. None of us know yet why we were chosen for these visions and changes, but there's no common thread at all that I can find.

Maybe it's all just random?

[Text]

[professorwolf]

At the moment, it does seem so. Maybe whatever does this thinks randomness is efficiency.

[Lyall disapproves, if so. Random selection is only useful in surveys.]

[Text]

[angelskills]

That's really all I can think of...

Unless everyone in the city can connect but just haven't yet.

[Text]

[professorwolf]

That would make for a very crowded network. I would think, after two weeks, if the whole city were to know this place, the pace would be moving more quickly. But that could be very wrong, and you may have a valid hypothesis.

[angelskills]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what ends up happening!

[Text]

[professorwolf]

We will indeed. Do you want my number, for this network, in case you need to get ahold of me?

[Text]

[angelskills]

Oh, yes please!
