[ Good eve, Numbers Club. Say hello to a big pair of baby blues all up in the webcam's business for the two seconds it takes to scoot back and allow it to refocus.

A pocket-sized blonde sits on the other end! ]

Ah — ! You do work both ways! Thank goodness. I didn't think of this number for a long time, until I started to hear that awful buzzing noise just recently. I thought maybe it had an expiration date.

[ She lifts a hand to tuck some hair behind her ear and clears her throat. ]

A-anyway, hello, my name is Chloe... I've done what reading I can since I learned I could, um, connect. Things seem very... chaotic for everyone right now. [ Her look turns soft. Are you ready to be helped, are you. ] It's only natural to be wary, and I can't offer very much, but I want to help however I can! So please consider it. My family owns a little bit of property outside of Locke if anyone needs a place to stay where there aren't so many people. The buzzing is also quieter. I promise you wouldn't be imposing, but if you're worried about that, the upstairs of our barn has been renovated into a room since we had our new stables built. It's kept very clean. And I own a truck, if anyone needs help getting around.

[ SHE CAN TOO SEE OVER THE WHEEL WITHOUT A BOOSTER SEAT SHHHHHH SHOOSH just

getting that out of the way, okay.

There's a short pause as she chews on the inside of her cheek. ]

I have one more question! Since it seems like we can share memories among ourselves... does anyone have memories of flying? Or more precisely, being propelled through the air. It's — very unique.

M-Mm. I think so. However, it's strange. I don't remember feeling very afraid.

[ Yes Chloe, let's go towards the thing with teeth. That was smart. She pauses. ]

Did you...! Um, remember something similar?

Kind of.

[As in he remembers grabbing a guy from a titan's mouth and getting eaten himself, but there's no need to go into detail about that.]

It sounds like your past self might have been dealing with the same stuff as a few others of us.

Oh no, it's not very pleasant, is it? But thank goodness that it seems like there's a way to corroborate.

Yeah, that would be the big bright side to all of this. Even if your Echoes give you really horrible shit, at least you're not alone with it.

There always has to be a silver lining somewhere, if you look for it! [ Chloe you're only saying that because you only have one echo you weren't even scared of ] I — never imagined a memory I got from falling off a horse would mean something to so many other people.

I'm thankful.

It's weird, a lot of the people here seem to have memories from totally different worlds. But more of us who dealt with the same stuff keep showing up all the time.

Ideally, everyone would have someone to share the memories with, right? No matter how much we differ! So far, all I can really say I know is... [ She counts off on her fingers. ] ...the sensation of flying, a big forest, and a bigger monster!

[ SO PRECISELY NOTHING BUT BY GOD SHE WILL TRY ]

Um, by the way, can I ask your name?

Wait, a big forest? I might remember something like that. With really huge trees?

[Though admittedly he's not entirely sure how big the trees in his memory were. He wasn't paying much attention and it's hard to make an estimate from a titan point of view.]

I'm Alan. And you said you're Chloe, right? Welcome to the numbers club.

Yes, that's right. It's nice to meet you, Alan. And the trees were amazing! [ She extends her arms aaaall the way up as far as she can WHICH IS NOT VERY FAR BUT YOUTRIED.JPG ] They were so tall. I've lived a little upstate for so long that I'm — I'm used to forests, but it was nothing like this one...

That definitely sounds like what I remember. ...Are you sure you don't remember anything other than the teeth about the thing that attacked you?

[Maybe it was that female titan he was fighting?]

No, nothing else. It's only been the one pulse. I'd like to share whatever else I find out with you though, if it's true that we're from the same world. Or... the same place in that world, I suppose?

That'd be great. All of us who knew each other before have been sharing what we know, trying to figure things out. You should look out for the others too, by the way. There's... holy shit, there's a ton of us already.

[He counts them off with his fingers.]

There's me, and Ryan and Bertholdt, and Ellie, and Mikasa, and that Walter guy, and I think a couple of others. Ellie's the one who's really been keeping track.

[ She nods with the counting, COMMITTING EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE TO MEMORY. ]

That's so many more than I would have thought! Thank you so much, Alan. Ellie... must be the one I'm talking to farther down? With the cute emotes! She's been so helpful.

Yeah, that's her. She's... not really someone I'd describe as cute in real life, but she is pretty helpful once you get past how blunt she can be.

She doesn't seem so bad. [ sweet summer child ] But variety is the spice of life... so they say. I'm just happy to learn anything at all, it was a pleasant surprise.

[ wait ]

...Not so much in subject matter, but I'm sure I didn't need to say that.
