So first of all, I want to apologize for my, well, my rather abrupt message the other night. I didn't want to scare anyone, but I ended up doing that anyway. Long story short, while trying to help someone else here, I got stabbed. I'm okay-- [She holds her hands up for emphasis; her right arm appears to be bandaged.] I made it out a lot better than I could have. I managed to deflect it, for the most part.

But that's not why I'm posting. I had a dream that night, and the more I think about it, the more I think it might have been an echo. I can't remember a lot of details about it, but I remember a name: "The Field of Justice." I think I remember seeing others, but no real details about them.

I know, it sounds really hokey, and that's why I didn't want to say anything about it at first. It could have just been the pain medication I'm on, but you never know, right? Has anyone heard about anything like this; a place that champions of legend fight one another, with the same name maybe? Or even something similar? I feel like I'm grabbing at straws...

I know I've heard that name before. It's pretty unique, so I don't think I'm wrong.

It gets mistaken for Sonia quite often, which is somewhat more common.

No, I don't think it would jump out at me like that if that were the case. This is going to bug me now.

[She cups her chin in her hand, going through a mental list. No one in any of the clubs she's in. The name doesn't ring a bell with anyone on the network that she's seen--so she's probably new, something else she'd ask about later--and it's not anyone from LCHS that she knows...]

Are you a student?

Yes. A senior at Starling.

That's it, that's where I've heard it! I'm a sophomore there.

My underclassman, then.

But upperclassman as far as Numbered things are concerned, if I'm not mistaken. How long have you been on the network?

... A couple of days.

Oh wow, you really are new, then. What do you know so far?

Very little.

Mostly I am just aware of the existence of echoes.

So no one's gone over even the basics? Hmm. It's a bit hard to explain. There's some reading, and that might better to show you first, then I can try to fill in the blanks.

Do you have time? I can forward the FAQ to you.

[ Sona secretly really hates not knowing and not being ahead of the game, but she got so overwhelmed with the whole Network business that each time she really tried to research she just got lost. ]

If you don't mind.

Not at all! Just a sec.

[A few moments later, in comes a text message with an attachment titled faq.html]

... This explains a lot about the current state of things. Thank you.

But there are many things that appear to still be a mystery to everyone.

Unfortunately, yes, there are more unanswered questions than anything else.

[Something that bothers her to no end.]

I don't know what I should be doing with myself.

That's natural, it's a lot to take in after all. Some people decide to sit back and wait for things to happen, then decide what the best course of action is. That's what I did when I first joined. I'm not much of a fighter yet, so I do what I'm good at. For a while, that was sitting back and supporting others, like by gathering data and compiling information to see if we could make the pieces we got fit together.

I'm sure everyone here is here for a reason, and even if you don't know what that is yet, something will come to you.

I don't yet have anything of use to bring to the table.

But when I do I would like to take a more active role...

That's a good approach to have.

Oh, that's right, what kind of echo did you get?

I recalled that I am mute.

[She blinks a few times.]

That's not one I've heard before.

Yes, from what I've seen it's unusual...

At least you still have your voice, right? I mean, you only remembered being mute, not actually...

[That came out a lot faster than she could catch it; her face said it all.]

[ her next messages takes a minute, because at first she almost wants to tease Luci, but realizes that would be mean. ]

Don't worry about it.

So you did lose it, then. I'm sorry.
