[When the feed starts, a scruffy teenager is kind of peering at the screen a little curiously. He’s outside and on a laptop, alone somewhere]

That..was not in my address bar. Why did typing in some random numbers in Goggle take me to some...forum or something? That’s what this is, right?

[He’s not sure. He’s not the techy one. He’s the cute one.]

A forum? For...people who’ve found weird stones and then had a weirder hallucination...type...thing?

[He holds up one of those glass runestone type things—the rune for "th"]

I mean, I know I look like it but I swear I don’t smoke pot so...this thing had to do it. Whatever "it" was.

[Honestly, he’s not sure what it was. Funny whooshing sound, random string of numbers...yep, no clue.]

So. Um. If anyone wants to explain what’s going on that’d be...great. Please.

The hallucination you mentioned would be considered as a 'pulse'. Whatever you gained back with it will stick with you, usually without some form of context.

I didn't "gain" anything? I don't think? I mean I kept the stone because anything that makes my head go whoosh needs to get looked at by a doctor or something and I probably should've done that first but the numbers were driving me nuts so.

[It takes him a few moments to respond.]

That's unusual. I wouldn't recommend seeing a doctor who isn't a part of this group.

I can't afford anyone but Dr. Strider so I think I'm good?

Should I not trust him? I don't really have a choice either way but...

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you. I don't know him. Sorry.
