[Hello, network. Your newest newb is sitting here, poking at the camera with a frown. Anyone who frequents Locke City High School might recognize him as the band teacher... and those who frequent the city’s alternative music scene might recognize him as the guitarist from some local band.]

Um... anyone want to tell me why there’s a webcam in my gradebook? ‘Cause, uh. This is actually kind of freaky. If this is what those numbers do then I’d like to erase them from my head now, please. Glad I didn’t write them on my hand... how would that even work?

Hey, I know you. I tried to slam a drum down on your singer's head after he tried to tell me how to hit the skins.

[yeah, Shou and his temper. luckily the situation was diffused by offering to buy food for the whole band.]

Sorry about the numbers. You're now part of the Club whether you wanna be or not.

[ninthmelody]

Oh, hey! Yeah, I remember that. [Honestly the guy probably deserved it.]

Club?

[ursoreckless]

Does he still try to copy Dylan's accent?

The secret numbers club. We're people that woke up with a number in our heads and when we type the number down, this network appears. You should try writing it on a piece of paper. It's pretty freaky.

Mr. Hart...? [IT KEEPS HAPPENING. Winter raises an eyebrow, before sighing and smiling slightly.]

Yes, it's the n-numbers. You won't really... be able to get rid of them, though. Sorry.

[ninthmelody]

[Oh hey, he recognizes you. School board, maybe? Unless you're in his classes he probably doesn't know you.]

Yea, someone already told me. Kind of which that wasn't true.

[peacefulwinter]

[Well, next best thing, but close enough. Winter's probably stopped in at least once, and more than likely was forced to take at least one music class at some point for "balance," but aside from that she prefers more academic pursuits.]

I... agree, to some extent. I wouldn't t-trade the people I've met here for anything, but... I could do without some of the danger.

[God help her, she's actually kind of tempted to try the hand thing just to see if it works.]

I think I agree.

[ninthmelody]

To the freaky part? Yeah, it only seems to get more true the more I look at this place.

[tenaciousc]

It's still hard to believe what I'm seeing, tbh. :|

Only one way to find out how it would work.

Re: text;

[ninthmelody]

No I think I'm good.

Kids these days just have no inquiring minds anymore.

[Nevermind that he is probably older than her. He is.]

[dyingtohealyou]

[He's totally seen this guy around school. Looks like they're getting even more teachers.]

Consider this your obligatory welcome to the numbers club. Yeah, it's a dumb name, but for some reason it's sticking.

[ninthmelody]

Well... it's an accurate description, I guess?

[comparative_insanity]

Yeah, it's pretty freaky, but those numbers don't go away because you want them to, sorry. [They can go away, but they're not nearly as obliging as that.] But on the plus side, you're not alone in this?

[ninthmelody]

I think the fact that this is happening to a lot of people is more worrying than helpful. Thanks though.

[copymaster]

Mr. Hart?

[Not one of your students but you may recognize Kazu from one of his unnamed friends who is in band.]

[ninthmelody]

Oh, hey! [Yeah he recognizes this kid.] Uh, yeah, it's me.

Voice;

[vetala]

[Oh hey! It's this guy!]

There are plenty of others who would like to do the same, sir.

[ninthmelody]

[...that sounds like triangle girl. Is it triangle girl?]

But apparently it's not an option?

[reapsthewind]

holy shit you're that guy from that band

i bought like 3 t-shirts and a poster at your last show and stuff, your CD makes for fantastic background music for coding

sorry about the alien invasion conspiracy that's in your notebook. also sorry that there's no escape and you're probably going to start developing crazy powers and having random shit appear in your house and also remembering things that didn't happen to you at inopportune moments

we don't know why the numbers work on things that aren't computers and the only way to get rid of the numbers is to leave the city, though i dunno how long that will be true

because it's all part of a crazy conspiracy which I know sounds stupid but your gradebook is talking to you so uhh yeah

has anyone showed you the intro post / faq yet

[ninthmelody]

oh cool! thanks! :) [yaaaaay someone likes their music that's always nice.

The other part just ties into how weird this all is though.]

yea someone showed me that. i didn't know peopl randomly forget though?
