So... what's this I'm hearing about pink snakes? It's become a bit disconcerting to turn my phone on anymore.

[That's not entirely true, he's more curious than concerned.]

[As evidenced by the fact he's recording this from being sprawled out on his couch. His arm's still up in a sling, but, hey. He's out of the hospital.]

Not to mention this talk of buzzing... You would think we had all suddenly become incapable of normal lives! Doesn't anyone just use this thing for chatting?

[There's a pause. And his expression sobers up considerably. Something's been bothering him...]

But. I suppose I should ask.

Are these pulses always disturbing? Has no one spontaneously recalled something cheerful?

I have!

[sassymaru]

Ah! Good. It's nice to know they're all not gloom and darkness.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I have a memory of hanging out at some kinda Japanese shrine with a bunch of friends, getting drunk.

[She tilted her head a little in thought, rubbing her forehead]

I haven't had any pleasant ones. As for the buzzing, I'd be all for finding what's doing it and dismantling it.

Maybe most of us just keep our normal lives separate from this thing.

[sassymaru]

A good memory! To be sure.

You're very lucky, it would seem.

[sassymaru]

You have my sympathies. It seems good memories are in the minority.

Are we sure it's something that can be dismantled?

[sassymaru]

So much work!

You'd have to give your friends updates on two different fronts, then.

[ursoreckless]

I was on the beach with a bunch of friends, hanging out, drinking and having a good time.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Yeah, I swear everyone I know remembers nothing but horrible tragedies.

[sassymaru]

There's a good one! Maybe I should keep a tally. Good versus depressing.

[icy_heavens]

It's not as much work as you make it out to be.

[Also known as: what friends? Closest he's got are the highschool kids on this thing, and any socializing gets done at their weekly "club" meetings.]

[ursoreckless]

I even got their names and I found a picture of them.

Course it was next to a custom gun that I never owned but these things never make sense any more.

Haven't had any good ones either, Yuji?

Anything can be dismantled, some objects just take more effort than others.

[two_stones]

I remembered some kind of laser wizard battle with my cousin, but, you know, it seemed like a good-natured one?

[espigeonage]

Ah, hello!

Chatting is usually the biggest traffic on this thing! Just, not in periods like this where such other things are happening.

And as for the last point, I don't have any recollections of pure pleasure, no, but some have been happier than others.

[sassymaru]

So I've begun noticing. Hence this posting, I suppose.

[not_good_not_wicked]

So what about you? Anything fun?

Video;

[sassymaru]

Mm, only one to speak of, so I really can't say. But others are quite preoccupied with horrible occurrences, I've noticed.

And you think this is one of those "more effort required" instances?

[sassymaru]

I'm on vacation! Everything is work.

[Okay, no he's not really on vacation -- more like medical leave, but still.]

[sassymaru]

... That's a rather foreboding sign, isn't it?

[sassymaru]

Laser... wizard battle.

Well then! So long as it was good-natured, I suppose...

[sassymaru]

Hello.

Ah, well. Perhaps I came at a bad time, then. That would just be my luck.

Happy works just as well.

[sassymaru]

I've certainly made entertaining memories so far! But, ah, nothing spontaneously recalled worth noting.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Darn.
