[It’s about midnight when this comes up on the network, a time when a kid his age should be asleep. But is he sleeping right now? Hell no. Not after the night he’s had . . . still having, really.]

How long has it taken for the rest of you to stop feeling like you’re being watched? And this might sound stupid, but . . . Does anyone think it might be ghosts following us around?

[He’ll just conveniently ignore the fact that the sensation of being watched hasn’t been the only thing happening to him tonight. Why give more details than he has to? They’ll just worry more.]

Like those damned police dogs had just enough soul to become one, yeah.

[icy_heavens]

I haven't heard any howling, though.

[shiromadoushi]

You haven't?

Maybe yours is different?

[icy_heavens]

It feels like it's right here, but there's nothing. I don't see anything, I don't hear anything. But it's here. Has to be different to the ones you guys have sensed.

Honestly a month ago I would've thought you were just being paranoid, but after everything else we've seen ghosts don't sound impossible.

[text]

[icy_heavens]

I know people have been wondering if it's the mutant dogs, but I haven't heard any howling like they've all seemed to.

[wordsgate]

You just got a feeling of being watched? Is that right?

[text; iphone]

[amberhearted]

Gone before sunrise for me. It felt like what I'd guess being haunted feels like. Didn't see anything though

[icy_heavens]

Haven't seen anything, either. It just feels like there's something here, even though I've checked and there isn't.

[amberhearted]

Saw something else when it happened. You?

[scramasax]

Is it tonight that you've been sensing things, too?

[Text]

[icy_heavens]

For the past couple hours, at least. Happening to you too, right now?

[Text]

[scramasax]

Yes. If something akin to ghosts are doing this, I can believe it... With the vision that I've just had, I am sure that if this hadn't been happening to so many of us as it has all week, I would have thought that I accidentally drew something to me.

[Text, the next morning]

[professorwolf]

About an hour.

The ghost theory has been bandied about. One suggestion was that whoever we're seeing visions of and getting abilities from is the one haunting us, but that doesn't make sense in all cases. I personally think it's something to do with that statue, and something we don't understand yet about what it means.

[Text, also morning because he's home from school today]

[icy_heavens]

[Sigh.]

Went on for nearly three for me.

I meant more with how so many of us felt like they're being watched, lately than the visions, really.

[professorwolf]

Oh dear, I'm sorry. That had to be nerve-wracking.

And yes, that's what I meant, the sense of being watched, which came (for me) along with hearing a wolf howl and smelling a wet dog somewhere nearby, though there wasn't one. But I believe it's all connected, somehow. I just don't know how yet.

[This is about when Julien likes to go to bed if nothing's going on, but he can stay up a bit longer.]

It got a bit easier when I left the apartment, but things didn't let up completely until dawn. lol, work the next day was fun.

Ghosts, huh? Of like the werewolves?

[Texted]

[icy_heavens]

Well, school won't be happening tomorrow thanks to this, so. [Granny is a tad concerned.]

Not necessarily of them. Other people have heard howling along with this feeling. I haven't.

[espigeonage]

lol, good on you.

Neither did I. They *are* the ones that died violently the most recently, I guess. I wasn't anywhere near by when that happened, but I have friends who were, and I was in the area later...

Being watched?

Ghosts??

[ text ]

[icy_heavens]

A lot of us have felt like that lately.

Ghosts are just a theory on it.

[ text ]

[angelskills]

So you're feeling watched, too...

Ghosts might explain it! Do you feel like you're in danger? Or like you're not safe?

[As Jack sees more and more of these kinda of posts go up on the network, he's become less alarmed about them. Or at least, less alarmed due to the idea of people being watched, anyway.]

Probably not ghosts. Just give it some time.

[Not that time's helped him much, but when there's not much you can do...]

[icy_heavens]

[Hey, he remembers that voice. Sounds a lot more sober now, though. That's a good thing. But there's something that isn't good about it.]

If you're going to talk now, do it over text. I don't want to risk waking anyone up.

[Yes, he will ignore your actual words right now. He has to make sure Granny doesn't hear voices in his room, okay?]

[Jack hates text, for reasons that are probably obvious given his situation. But he can rest the phone on his lap to type, awkwardly.]

Better?
