001 | handwritten (notebook)

[moonlitblade]

What is all this? I don't understand... Nothing I'm seeing here makes much sense. Either my notebook is filled with crazy people, or something weird's going on, and I'm getting the feeling it's the second one.

It seems like there are different people in here, so would any of you be okay with explaining what's going on?

Oh, I should probably give you my name. This is Ethan. I probably shouldn't say any more than that right now, if all the conspiracy stuff in here is true, and especially if the police are looking for people. But that's probably enough for now.

[He knows an Ethan, but a first name alone isn't much to go on.]

[In crisp, meticulous handwriting:] Don't suppose you found the FAQ buried in all the not-craziness?

[He doesn't actually mind explaining things to new people so long as they don't automatically dismiss it and start laughing like it's some dumb joke. Ethan at least seems like he's willing to listen.]

[moonlitblade]

I did... I'm in class, though, and I can't really plug in headphones to a notebook, even if I had any. So, I haven't watched the videos yet. I'll see if I can do that later, when there's time. So probably after practice.

Even with that FAQ, though, a lot of this still doesn't make much sense. Other people's memories? Weird powers? I'm just a regular kid. What good am I going to do even with all that?

[icy_heavens]

[And even with all that, there are two words that he latches onto: "class" and "practice". Sounds like it could be the one he knows.]

Middle school soccer practice?

[moonlitblade]

Uh, yeah. How'd you know? I didn't say anything about any of that.

[selfassured]

A notebook filled with crazy people wouldn't be considered weird as well?

[moonlitblade]

Well, yeah, but I can throw the notebook away if it's possessed. If there's something else at work, I can't really ignore it.

[selfassured]

There's certainly something else at work. Although none of us seem to know what that 'something' is exactly.

That completely depends upon your definition of "crazy people". Some of us are a bit [Pause] different, we'll say.

I'm Luci. Has anyone explained anything to you yet, or are you still in the dark?

[Light puns. They never get old.]

[moonlitblade]

I've heard a little bit, but more information never hurts. I've already seen that FAQ, if that's what you were going to say.

I'm not sure I can really talk about crazy people, anyway. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer myself.

[ladyofluminosity]

The FAQ page is pretty accurate, although a few things have happened since it last got updated. Particularly the attack on Halloween that a lot of us got involved in. There's also word that the sculptor of the snake statues have been found, but we haven't confirmed that yet.

You haven't seen the increased police activity?

[moonlitblade]

I have, but there could be any of a number of reasons for that. The "eco-terrorism" is a little bit of a thin excuse, but it works well enough until you ask questions. Now that I'm starting to learn better, it's getting a little clearer.

[dododo]

I suppose so.

I am afraid this is all quite real.

I've been told magic's to blame, but I'm working on a somewhat more scientific theory.

It's good to meet you, Ethan. My name is Elian.

[moonlitblade]

Nice to meet you as well, Elian. I hope your theory pans out - it'll be good if we can get a straight answer on what's going on. If not... well, magic's a little harder, but if we keep looking, we can find our answers all the same.

[wastingtime]

One way or another, I do hope. The more answers we have, the better off we'll all be.

[Toni knows an Ethan, but it's a pretty common name, so she doesn't think much of it. Still, newbie wants answers, and she's around. So she's typing away on her computer.]

It seems there are those who have answered you already. But what else would you like to know?

[moonlitblade]

I'm not sure. I mostly want to make sure there isn't some other big surprise that I wouldn't know from reading the FAQ. I mean, there are a lot of big surprises already, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

[rota]

The FAQ seems to be outdated as of now. There have been a lot of developments since it had been last updated.

The Tuning Towers is currently our point of investigation, but it is not advisable to enter it without a lot of help.

Some have discovered that Thunder Corp. is behind much of the problems here, though I've found nothing that can be pinned on them about the Towers just yet.

I am deeply apologetic sob

[One of the first things to be exposed to on the network really shouldn't be this one's spelling. Thankfully he's at least using a phone, so there is none of his nigh-unreadable hadwriting.]

well I mean sinse its all in you're note book that has to mean your ass crazy as the rest of us rite? ;D

also it mite be helpful to now that normal peeple can't see or hear anything from the net work so its not a good idea to show just any one or thei'll think you reely ARE going crazy.

[moonlitblade]

[The reply is delayed several seconds while Ethan parses what the hell the message was saying.]

Your spelling is really bad... but those are helpful things to know. Thank you.

I'm not sure the crazy remark was a good idea anymore, though.

[comparative_insanity]

[Well, that was forward. Not that he's really bothered.]

sorry about that I kinda droped out of high school
stay in school kid etc etc :P
and dont swet it were all pretty much convinsed were crazy anyway
but at leest were not alone

[dyingtohealyou]

I wouldn't be so quick to say there aren't any crazy people here.

[moonlitblade]

I guess not, but still, that's not really the point. Right?

[dyingtohealyou]

Probably not.

Anyway, how far have you looked through the past posts?
