Okay, very important, fate-of-the-world, Numbers-related meetings in people's houses? I think it's a bad idea with what happened a few days ago. So I've got a better idea-- well, "better" is kinda relative here but anyway.

There's an old building in the business district I've been using for a while to practice magic stuff [insert typed address here] and it's abandoned. No entertainment system, no comfy chairs and no food, but no nosy neighbors either. No one goes there anymore except for me, my dog and a bunch of random animals. [Yes, he's practically offering his training grounds as a meeting place. This is why he's not using text anymore, because he imagines that if people take him up on that offer, anonymity is pointless since they'll be seeing him around.] If you complain about how bare it is though then you go wire some electricity to it and set up your own fridge. I'm not your local IKEA.

Uhhh, what else... I think the chances of some random person coming across it is small? Since apparently people think it's haunted so they avoid it-- for the record no, it's not haunted by some angry, vengeful ghost. I'm the one making the puddles and scorch marks, okay.

Just don't break it when you use it? Or tell unnumbered people about it. It wasn't easy finding it and I don't want to go looking for another one again. And if that happens I'm not even going to bother letting other people into my playground again.

It's not indicative of anything if one of us loses their echoes for a while and gains their knowledge back, right? Would that put one in greater danger of losing echoes permanently? It's a frightening uncertainty to face. I don't want to be in the dark again. I want to fight alongside you all if fate calls on me.

Admittedly, it was quite nice to spend a few weeks doing schoolwork and playing piano without any of these pressures on my mind, but I'm glad to be back all the same.

[testsonseashells]

Version 3.0

Have found this network because of a string of numbers that you cannot forget. Aside from being able to connect through standard electronic devices, number can establish connection by being punched into fax machines and on sheets of paper, as well as being scratched onto walls. Memory of number is usually accompanied by alteration: discovery of a new memory, item, or physical change. Network members have dubbed these "Echoes" or “Pulses”; will likely continue into foreseeable future. Network not visible to those without connection; observing civilians will see blank pages or device equivalent.

If skeptical about this, write network number on piece of paper. Will understand afterward.

Essential information:

Police once untrustworthy in past; suggest caution in future dealings. Conspiracy once present within police leadership to eliminate network members, led primarily by Detective Jason Sherman and Police Chief Simon Edwards. Small number of policemen are connected to network themselves, and not all were under Sherman's influence, but suggest you err on the side of caution. Corrupt police willing to execute teenagers (video evidence). Network members Raoul Light, Mikasa Bito and Candy Rodriguez disappeared recently, haven't been found since; general suspicion is that police were responsible. Additionally, police were using breed of dog with ability to detect Network members. Recommended you avoid these as well.

LSR clinic can provide safe medical help and will not report anything to the authorities. Located here and run by myself, Dr. Mordin Solus (testsonseashells) and Dr. Aaron Strider. Strider not currently connected himself, but aware of our existence and sympathetic to cause. Can examine physical echoes and provide treatment options, if necessary. Assure you full confidentiality.

Echoes and Network numbers persist only within Locke City and small zone of Las Vegas; can disappear randomly even within city limits. Leaving Locke or designated Vegas area will cause all memories of the network and any Echoes to disappear. Evidence is here. Returning to Locke or Vegas area generally causes Echoes to return.

Thunder Corp working with police; appear to be furthering other goals of those who command Sherman and Edwards. Responsible for pink additive in water during summer.

Thunder and police working with alien known as Tiny; established contact with Tiny here; claimed to have controlled Earth in past and are now returning to repossess it. Tiny compared enemy forces to gardeners, us to rose thorns.

snow shenanigans [closed]

[amberhearted]

Who: Alexander and Toushirou
When: Monday, February 3rd, night
Where: A sidewalk.
What: A whimsical brat pesters a serious brat.
Warnings: --

After Proud's death (specifically, how it had occurred), Alex found himself more unhappy with hiding in the apartment. He sought refuge in repairing Elian's house, but always had he to return, unwilling to encroach, especially not with his diet.

Tonight, he sought refuge of a different sort. Once the skies grew dark, Alex left the apartment in the form of a bat. By now, he had grudgingly come to accept this ability as part of supernatural repertoire and decided to use it to his advantage. The crispness of the air helped clear his mind enough to fly with little thought. Eventually, he landed on a tree branch and simply sat there -- upright, mind -- watching the heads of pedestrians walk by.

One head in particular he recognized. A sliver of mischievousness made its way to the forefront of his mind. Without thinking to question it, he hopped on the branch, disturbing the snow that had settled there. It slipped off of the branch and landed right in Toushirou's hair.

---

Who: Alexander, Banagher, Suzaku, and Stella
When: the first week of February?
Where: Suzaku's sweet bachelor pad
What: Snowball fights: chicken noodle soup for the soul.
Warnings: --

Despite the fact that Alex would have to fly rather than drive to Banagher's new address, the invite to bean each other with snow was positively received on Alex's end. It was as he used Google Maps to get a visual on the location that the thought to invite Stella crossed his mind.

Thus when Alex appeared at the house, it was in the air with a ferret on his back.
