[The visual is foggy, at first - it's hard to make out anything, just blurs of color. Dark, light - moving, and eventually something cuts through - just a single line being drawn, looping in nonsensical patterns, its trail remaining as a small area of sharper focus.

And there's a voice, that of someone singing to herself, quietly, under her breath, in words that don't sound like they come from any earthly language.]

Rrha ki ra echcrra jouee, rrha ki ra chs hymmnos mea...

[The line continues, sometimes doubling back on itself, bringing more and more of the image into focus; eventually, if one looks closely, they might be able to tell that someone is idly drawing on her fogged bathroom mirror, not really thinking about it.

(Someone is also, as logically follows, still wearing just a towel.)]

Fayra en kapa, weak en sheak-

[And then she stops for a moment, staring into the mirror - or maybe staring through it. Her eyes narrow for a moment.

And then widen.]

Oh my god, what the-

[If you're very quick, you might notice her face turning bright red as she ducks below line of sight.]

(ooc: the Japanese in the song as linked is not, ICly, actually Japanese. It's just more Hymmnos and thus as incomprehensible as the rest of the song. :|b )

[Oh, that seems like an easier way to do it than to duck below the mirror. She also turns around, leaning against the counter.]

...it's...not like I'm trained or anything. It's just a song that's been stuck in my head.

A song that made you think of a number, I'm guessing?

Mmhmm, right!

I heard a song when I got my number, too. Although people have all sorts of things happen when they get it--you're the first person I've met that got an 'Extra' similar to my first one.

You heard mine, so...can I hear yours? Ah, that sounds a little too forward, doesn't it?

[chuckle] No, that's not forward at all, I don't mind. It doesn't really have any lyrics, so it's better if I play it on something...ah, one moment.

[He gets up from his chair, doing his best to resist the urge to turn back to the camera, and goes off screen for a moment. When he comes back he's holding a saxophone. With his back still to the camera, he plays the main riff from this theme.]

It's pretty. You play well.

Thank you! [He sounds quite pleased. He sets aside his saxophone off-screen, then settles back into his chair.] Maybe I could accompany you sometime. When you're less caught off-guard, of course.

Yeah, this is kind of bad timing, but maybe someday.

[amused] Well, Lucy, I should probably let you go so that you can have a chance to make yourself presentable.

[Because yeah, he totally remembered that voice halfway through the conversation.]

[THE MOST MORTIFIED SQUEAK.]

[With another laugh.] So I was right! Thought so! I never forget a voice!

I hear a lot of them every semester, so you might need to refresh my memory, I'm afraid.

Sam Iwata. I was in one of your classes about a year ago...you might remember me as the incredibly charming Japanese guy with the bleached hair.

Hm...

[Thinking, thinking -]

Ah, right, the flirt?

[laugh] Yeah. That guy.

What a place to run into you again, huh?

Yeah. You're actually the second former teacher of mine I've ran into on here. Weird, huh?

With an entrance like this, I'm not sure whether to hope for more strangers or not.

Well, at least you've gotten your embarrassing moment out of the way early. New people keep popping up but our numbers--[and he has to stifle a laugh at the word for some reason]--our numbers are still very small.

How long has this been going on for, anyway?

I'm not sure, but...I think since early April? April 1st there was a pink light in the sky right around midnight or so--I saw it out of my window and remembered my number from when I first discovered it as a teen. I didn't end up actually finding the Network until about a week later, though.

Wow, you've had your number that long?

Yeah. About three years, I think? But it didn't do anything until April. I'd almost forgotten about it until that light showed up.

I think you can be excused for almost forgetting, after that long.
