Okay so I think I found everything I guess I need to know by looking around, but 2 things: I am pretty sure I didn't retain like ANY OF THAT (bcuz a lot of it was nonsense btw) and... like basically I don't think anyone can convince me for like even a second that I haven't just actually gone off the deep end w/ this one.

I just spent 20 minutes navigating a page of my dayplanner and all you're all talking about is just completely crazy shit, so I'm just pretty sure my brain snapped.

At first I was like, "did I accidentally join a cult?" But now I'm like "I'm using the internet (or something) in a FUCKING DAY PLANNER"... isn't anyone else worried for their sanity, if this is even happening???

My wrist is cramping but any input would be greatly appreciated, probable fictions of my imagination.

two video posts, a text message, and an action option. during a reasonable time of day.

[ VIDEO POST A; ]

[ It’s taken herself a little while to work up to it, but...a video post from Sierra Callahan, finally, away from her usual habit of text or voice. It wasn’t as though people hadn’t seen her face, as she’d been at the meeting about the farmhouse, but it just hadn’t been her first option in general. She fiddles with the webcam for a second; there appear to be a lot of boxes in the background, as though she’s just moved. ]

Hey, this is Sierra. For...those of you who didn’t know. [ Done with the camera, she moves on to playing with the end of her ponytail, as though nervous. ] I’m going to update my reply to the “safe practitioner” list Naomi has, but...just in case you haven’t seen it or don’t know about it, I thought I’d say here that you should feel free to use my network number to reach me.

[ ...Wait, there’s a part that’s sort of...why that would be a thing... ]

...I can do healing of the magical kind now. It’s gotten better from when I first started it, so...just in case. And you can still contact me about any animal problems, too, which I’m a bit more experienced in, but...just in --

[ Over Sierra's shoulder appears a dude, peering at the computer screen. At the network specifically because haha what. ] Are you video chat roleplaying a witch or something?

[ That… doesn't sound like a normal Sierra thing but Noah just walked in to find her on some weird chat site talking about "magical kind of healing" EITHER SHE'S ROLEPLAYING OR IT'S SOMETHING SEXUAL and Noah's not… gonna go there nope. ]

[ Enjoy the image of Sierra nearly jumping out of her skin, knocking a book to the floor as she turns and manages not to fall out of her chair, although she does manage to elbow the guy who appeared over her shoulder in the nose. ]

What? No! Noah, I told you to stay out of my room already! Oh my god, you can’t just sneak up on me like that! [ ...Hopefully his nose is okay but WOW GEEZE ]

[ CLUTCHING HIS NOSE ow this is what he gets for waltzing into his sister's room… and what Sierra gets for moving in with her kid brother and not expecting something like this, really. ]

Gosh, sorry! The door was open. [ Lies. But now he's pointing at the computer screen. ] What are all those posts about, then? Like, shouldn't you be hanging around on the animal planet forums or something, not… whatever that is?

I can hang out wherever I want to - [ It only takes a second for Sierra’s brain to catch up there, screaming about the relevant part. ] - what did you just say? You can see - oh, for -

[ She can’t even finish a proper sentence that’s how thrown she is. The camera, says the part of her that isn’t looking stunned and slightly sick about the fact Noah can see the network; Sierra reaches over and shuts off the camera and ends her post. There will be another entry half an hour later from a different number, although she’ll go through and reply to anything coming to her at that point - as well as responding to things on Noah’s post. ]

[Attached is a photo of something that looks remarkably like a gun. No, Matt has not become the proudest new member of the NRA.

He's freaking out a little bit because he has officially had the most fucked up day of his life a little over a week ago. He has never felt more pain in real life or in a memory than when that monster ripped through his persona. And he's not sure it won't happen to him now if he tries to use one again. And that thing... was inside his head? Waiting to break out again? This is not what he asked for. But no one's getting that, right? So he keeps up the deadpan humor and sarcastic attitude because he has nothing else to fall back on.]

Heads up. So there's a monster summoning system that requires you to shoot yourself in the head. The same summoning system knocks you out for a week after you use it. So don't try it at home. Also, apparently I am a harp-playing robot if the "Thou art I and I am thou" thing is to be believed.

If we ever have awards, I at least want a nomination for "most unnecessary side effects to a power."

ETA: Please don't actually shoot yourself in the face. At all.

This is seriously fucked up.

Private text to Phillip

The monsters you summon--they're called Shadows.

[OOC; And trigger warning that Matt is explicitly mentioning that this summoning is p much faking suicide in at least one thread so be careful of that.]

[closed; action]

008 — video [laptop] & open action.

Who: Banagher Links (argents) & you!
When: February 25th
Where: Public city library, then going home.
What: General CR wrap-up before the boss battle.

( VIDEO )

I missed classes for a few weeks, and now it feels like I'm never going to catch up. [ Illustrated by the fact that it looks like his eyeballs are about to fall out. He's parked in one of the corners of the public library, visible in the background, not working this time, but studying. Kind of. His workspace is littered with papers and packets, but most of them don't look very touched. Instead he's been playing a fruitless game of connect-the-memory-dots. ] So I tried to find out more about one of my first pulses instead. Something called "Laplace's Box". The same as this guy.

[ A networked wiki link for the 18th century mathematician. ]

Which doesn't seem like something that'd start a war, does it? I know what knowledge is capable of, but still. A lot of the concepts are close to things I remember... but they're a lot like clues I can't follow. This, space, the Earth, The Lady and the Unicorn — "to my one sole desire"...

[ SPACE AND UNICORNS AND THE FRENCH, THAT'S ALL HE'S GOT. COMPELLING. Banagher tosses his pen down. ]

I ought to go back to my homework. It's less complicated.
