[There's a long deep sigh, like the sound of someone trying to calm herself down long enough to approach this logically. And that's when the blonde pops up onto the screen wearing her best irritated scowl.]

Look, I don't know what's going on here, and frankly, I don't want to know either. If I hadn't caught this stupid headgame off of Anthony, I am sure I'd be fine, but no he got his crazy germs on me and now I can't sleep because there is a scene out of a bad romcom playing in my head and I have headaches from repeating numbers that shouldn't mean anything. I am trying to keep my nose out of things and this isn't helping.

I know life-threatening circumstances can bring about repressed memories and that's all my sister has been saying all day, but that isn't what's going on here, and someone has to be messing with me. So I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me what is going on and how to get this to go away before I start feeling like I'm really insane and my mom carts me off to a nuthouse.

I do not have crazy germs and I certainly didn't give you any.

I was completely sane until you touched me, and you're involved in this somehow, so it has to have been you. You're contagious. Everyone involved is contagious and needs to be quarantined.

...A lot of us seem to almost die getting these things.

I'm not entirely convinced I didn't actually get hit by that car, to be honest. It would make more sense.

Please don't tell anyone who isn't a part of the network that you can see the network.

Why not? You guys might be happy with being insane but I want this to go away.

[He did a double-take on the name there as habit but then goes and scraps it in seconds - lack of recognition, definitely another Anthony - and with that gets straight to pushing his wheels spinning on what's been said, fidgeting with his pen - ]

Unfortunately, we do not know how to make this go away. If you can access this network, then it will probably be much safer to remember that it's here.

[Sorry, new friend. She's sure you don't have crazy germs. Except you do because you're here but you have less crazy germs.]

How can it be safer when it's already apparently putting me in danger?

It's not so bad! Just look on the bright side!

[phoenix_temple]

From what I can tell either I am actually insane or I just got dragged into a government conspiracy. What, exactly, is the bright side?

Sorry about all this. Maybe someone is messing with you but it's not one of us! My most sincere congratulations and condolences on finding yourself with a number, miss.

I'm not entirely convinced of that. This seems impossible.

apparently the only way to get it to stop is to move
like out of town

That's really not an option. I still live with my mother.

[wirsinddiejager]

I'm pretty sure you can't actually catch this stuff off someone. Also you're not crazy.

[phoenix_temple]

Well it makes as much sense as anything else. I was totally normal before this.

[siesinddasessen]

[Double take here

Anthony?

But she hasn't mentioned the whole zombie thing even once, and for someone who was just normal the other day... and she seems to have known him before. Anthony has clearly been in hiding for a bit, and if she met him only recently, she would be more rattled if...]

What does Anthony look like?

[phoenix_temple]

[No zombies involved. She blinks.]

About this tall, blond kid.

The only way out is to get out of town. Gets you out of range of whatever the fuck that causes this all.

But if you're worried about your mom, likely that's not an option, so you're pretty much stuck.

Welcome to Wonderland. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

So at least we are quarantined, sort of. If it stays in the city, anyway.

This post has some of the basics of what's going on. But only some.

[phoenix_temple]

I've seen already. It still doesn't make any sense, outside of mass insanity...

[wait what why are his students on here.]

I wish that was it.

[wait what why is her teacher on here???]

So you're crazy, too?

[soulsborderline]

I noticed an acquaintance of mine being unhelpful so I feel responsible to let you know you CAN get out of this if you leave town.

The people trying to hunt us down and/or kill us might not care you've forgotten, though.

[phoenix_temple]

And if I don't remember, I doubt I'll know to protect myself from somebody. This is not a mess I wanted to be a part of.

Hard as it is to believe, this actually isn't a joke or anything like that.

So I've been told. It's still very difficult to believe.
