[For a few moments, there's silence. Then:

[BEEP. BEEP BEEP. BEEP.

[That would be someone pressing buttons on their phone. It stops after those beeps, thankfully: there's the sound of rustling, then—

[BEEEEEEEEP.

[... One last for the road.]

... Huh. That's new.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Right. 'Cause chasing after people who know a string of gibberish makes all kinds of sense.

[There's a pause; he's at least checking the link.]

... This is elaborate.

I think there's more to it than that, but... don't know what it is yet.

Apparently it's been going on for a while? I only got it a few weeks ago myself.

"It" being...?

The number.

Right. And it just — what, popped into your head?

Saw a pink light outside, and then... yea pretty much.

Like a sunset?

No, like a pink light being shot into the sky from somewhere at midnight. Still have no idea what it was.

You're not gonna tell me you think it was a UFO, are you?

No, and I hope I don't get to thinking that's what it was.

[He laughs. It may strike another chord of familiarity in Adam; Axel laughs pretty freely when he's networking.]

Well, I'd say "at least you're not a conspiracy nut", but given the circumstances....

[It does... Adam is at least maybe placing this as someone he knows, now.]

Yeah, I know. We're kind of all conspiracy nuts for even being on this thing, I think.

Hey, I consider myself forcibly dragged.

I know what you mean.

[paaaaause]

So, uh, you sound kind of familiar. Mind sharing names? If not it's ok, some people on here are... understandably paranoid.

[Have a pause in turn. Normally, Axel likes for people to know his name. His full name, and his contact information. But normally, he's not giving it out over some weird ... network thing, with magic numbers and all this other shit.]

Any way to do that privately?

I think so? Hang on a second.

[There's a little bit of messing around on Adam's part before a private connection to his number will pop up on Axel's phone.]

I think that did it.

Looks like it.

[His tone lightens again, now that that's out of the way. Adam's not the only one who's been curious about a familiar voice.]

Sooooo, who goes first?

[Well he asked you, but.]

I can, I guess. I'm Adam Hart. If we knew it other it'd probably be because I'm a guitarist for [lol I haven't named his band yet]?

[A pause, then—]

Adam. [That would be definite recognition, as the other man clicks into place in Axel's extensive network.] Yeah, I remember you.

I'm Axel. Axel Engres.

[Not giving his occupation just yet. "Axel" alone is an unusual enough name; it usually strikes a chord.]

[It is unusual enough indeed, Adam taking a moment to place the name.]

Oh. Uh, you're... an actor, right? [If he's remembering this correctly.]

[Gotta love not needing a stage name for recognition.]

That's right. Heh, what're the chances of connecting on here?

[It could be a rhetorical question. Or it could be an attempt to get some numbers. Really, he's good either way.

[He knows this guy. He can work with this.]

[At least this situation is reciprocated. Adam's happy to see someone who is not one of his students.]

Depends on who you ask. I think like half of Japantown is on here. [that's an exaggeration, but not by as much as you'd think.]

Really? Hm.

[He'd mention not living there, but that would probably wind up involving saying where he does live. Which he tends to avoid, since it's not where he'd like to live. Yet.]

Any theories on why that is?

No idea. Probably just a coincidence, but with this whole thing, who knows.

Who indeed. Seems as though no one even knows why we're getting these numbers in the first place.
