So has anyone else gotten a pulse that made them irrationally hate some

[He originally types "one", only to backspace and fix it.]

something? Or am I just lucky?

I need somewhere else to crash. If I stay in this house much longer, I'm going to go insane.

Pulse friends, or...?

I don't really make a distinction between "normal" friends and people from the Network. [Mostly because she talked talking to those "normal" ones to keep them out of this, but she's not going to say that.] So friends, family. Anyone I care about.

Family's probably the one you have to worry about the most with there.

[Since there's the most direct connection.]

Unless you told your friends outside of the network about all of this.

Heavens no, I wouldn't do that. But I still have to keep them safe, somehow. And find a way to help the people I care about here at the same time.

Well, you're on the Network. We might not know much of what's going on, but there's some people here who have some pretty interesting information on what's going on in town.

If you use that to warn off your friends from certain places, it might help?

Can't give much advice for the other club guys though considering we have people who literally run into the Dead District for no good reason.

To be terribly honest, I haven't talked much with any friends I had before all of this mess. Knowing that it can draw innocent people into danger, it seems like asking for trouble...

I'm sure that's going to start the High School gossip mill starting up sooner or later, but I'm not too worried about that. [She says, but that's sort of a lie. She wasn't extremely close to anyone before all of this, but...]

Beyond that, outside the Network I just have to worry about my Father, and he's not the sort to go wandering off into places like that, at the very least. He's usually too busy with work, as it is. The rest of my family is a long way away.

...so I guess in the end I am starting to worry the most about the people here. Which is almost silly, given most of them can do more than I can by a wide margin.

Well, the people here also have a tendency to get themselves into trouble even outside of the random shit that hits us, so that worry is probably justified.

Even people with powers might need someone more rational to drag them out of it.

Perhaps, though I don't think I'm necessarily more rational than some of these people. [Well, Jasmine... yes.]

I guess I just worry.

A lot.

It's probably a problem, actually.

It's probably better to worry than be apathetic tbh

Maybe. I wonder if there's such a thing as being too cautious.

Yeah, it's called paranoia. But caution is good too, as long as you keep it under control.

It wouldn't be the first time someone called me paranoid, really.

I just hope I can.

This whole situation doesn't really help with that.

It really doesn't, especially when it becomes, "you can only trust people here," and sometimes you wonder if you can trust all of them.

But... I have those that I do, so I suppose that's where it counts.

At the very least, I don't think any of us are eager to get into very serious trouble.

Since as far as I know there isn't anyone here who wants to be killed by the cops.

So that's... something.

Well... yes. It would be preferable to entirely avoid something like that. For anyone, really.

I wonder how "not eager" some people are, though, looking at what's gone on, even lately.

I wonder if that's a side effect of getting super powers...

[Sudden overconfidence, maybe?]

Well, I wouldn't know anything about that, but I can't imagine it changing too much here.

[Given the time of this discussion, she was going to be in for an awakening in a few days. IRONY.]
