1ST ♛ text (hand-written, phone text in comments)

Okay so I think I found everything I guess I need to know by looking around, but 2 things: I am pretty sure I didn't retain like ANY OF THAT (bcuz a lot of it was nonsense btw) and... like basically I don't think anyone can convince me for like even a second that I haven't just actually gone off the deep end w/ this one.

I just spent 20 minutes navigating a page of my dayplanner and all you're all talking about is just completely crazy shit, so I'm just pretty sure my brain snapped.

At first I was like, "did I accidentally join a cult?" But now I'm like "I'm using the internet (or something) in a FUCKING DAY PLANNER"... isn't anyone else worried for their sanity, if this is even happening???

My wrist is cramping but any input would be greatly appreciated, probable fictions of my imagination.

Have you had experience in nerd cultist projects in the past? Either way, I guess the best option we have at the moment is to collect what information we can about what's going on, and see if we want to continue to involve ourselves.

It isn't like anyone's forcing us to take part in this. Especially when I'm pretty much certain I'd be useless against whatever alien threat there might be. This honestly sounds like some lame 90s action movie. Like Independence Day 2: Social Networking Strikes Back.

well, no...... but it just seemed like it or something!

oh my god, no. hash-tag apocalypse, #alieninvasionlol, #invasionsfuckinwithmywifi

I can't handle this

ur right tho, about trying to like get information and shit. not that I'm exactly eager w/ the idea of studying even more than I already am at school

this feels like a really badly written movie, I don't want it to be real

I guess I can see why you'd think that if you're not actually familiar.

Don't look at it as studying, that might help. It isn't like you're getting a grade on how well you pay attention to this shit. How about this, I'll do the info seeking, and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

Me either, but sadly shit movies still get made regardless of whether they're wanted or not. Pretty sure this is going to follow that same shitty rule.

The name's Dirk, by the way.

wow, really...?? I mean, I'll still read up and try to understand, but... thanks, that's rly nice actually lol

oh right! yeah. I'm Louis. nice to meet you.

I don't mind. There's nothing to be gained by not helping each other out, and we're both behind nearly everyone in terms of knowing about this situation going on.

Same.

I feel like that shouldn't be as reassuring as it is.

lol but then it seems like ur pretty good w/ words...

[There's a brief pause as he's trying to decide if maybe this guy is just trying to compliment him for generally being helpful, or if there's a bit more of a... flirtatious nature to what he's reading here. He decides to just act neutrally, it's probably safest.]

I'm glad I could be a reassurance. Doesn't seem like many people are proving to be that for you.

[Yes, he snooped on Louis' other conversations.]

OH NO, did u read those, god. I'm embarrassed

it's ok, someone else is being pretty helpful too. that other person just had a fuckin bug up their ass, idk what their deal was.

Yeah I did. Sorry, I wasn't meaning to snoop on anything personal, I was just scoping for any possible new information that could have surfaced.

Also, don't worry about it. That guy's being a bit of a prick, so I don't blame you.

oh, well, I'm not like actually mad or anything, so w/e.....

and yea no kidding. it turns out he's a friend of mine actually lmao wtf

rude fucking asshole. unforgivable

At least it isn't some random dickhead being an asshole for no reason, but instead a familiar one.

Hm. Don't know if that's actually preferable or not.

loool true I guess, but random ones are less surprising tbh. I'm rly surprised

yea, I'm kind of trying to decide too? I guess it's selfish but like I'm kind of relieved not 2 be the only one... I mean obviously I'm not the only one but I more meant out of ppl I know I guess

I take it he isn't normally so crass?

I'm in a similar boat. One of my friends is also involved in this whole mess, and I'm simultaneously relieved and distressed by that fact.

well I wouldn't say that exactly lol but he's usually nicer 2 me specifically anyway

oh, wow... I guess it's not that uncommon then. sry 2 hear it. but misery rly does love company... I think anyone who disagrees is probably lying 2 themselves lol

Misunderstandings like that seem to happen when you don't know who you're talking to.

Seems so. I think I'll ask around, see what I can uncover about who typically gains access to this network. Perhaps there's a discernible pattern. Either way, I guess if anything big goes down our friends already know what's up. Well, at least one of them. I wouldn't want to be the one to try to explain all this alien nonsense to someone who isn't familiar with the network, or any of this shit.

ya I guess I couldn't blame u 4 feeling that way it's a lot 2 explain. personally tho I wouldn't mind finding out more so I could help ppl out, or at least give them the FAQ and stuff....

Well, I was more so meaning during a possible crisis. Probably involving said aliens. There'd be one less person you'd have to explain things to during a critical time, and one less person unprepared. I don't mind helping anyone who gains access to this network.

oh man..... I hadn't thought about that at all

how fucking stressful

[Meanwhile, back at home, Louis is withering kind of pathetically on his bed, cradling his phone as he lays on his side and lifts his knees to his chest, feeling his heart race under the pressure of what's to possibly come. He wonders if he'll survive any eventual disaster, but knows that he's getting carried away.

Deeeep breaths.]

I think I'm probably the worst candidate on the planet for this shit, I don't understand why this is happenign to me lol

[Ranting to a stranger? Kind of embarrassing. But Louis is feeling fragile and impulsive.]

Yeah.

[Dirk is in his room himself, though at his desk. He's been pretty stressed out with the news of all of this, but he's far less inclined to actually show it. Besides, that friend he mentioned is near by, and he hardly needs to stress him out even more by being emotional or anything.]

I can't say I'm much better. I'm just a student, I have no abilities to handle things like aliens. Quite frankly, I think whoever is in charge of this whole thing has made a huge mistake involving me.

idk like apparently some ppl have powers or something? maybe u used to. maybe I did too? I don't think I ttly understand it tbh

but like...... my personality sux 4 this, I can't imagine dealing w/ it

I can't really see myself gaining any powers. Other people may be the real life equivalent to a magical girl, but I really don't see myself filling that role.

[LITTLE DOES HE KNOW...]

Maybe with a little more exposure you'll adapt. Everything's overwhelming as dick right now, so maybe it'll be a little bit easier as it all becomes a bit more familiar. That's my theory, at least.

[wtf is a magical girl. Louis discards the thought almost immediately, though.]

god, maybe.

ur probably right

[Louis sighs, feeling his muscles untense a little bit.]

I mean, this is probably hard for like every1 at first, right? who the fuck could shrug this off

[Sorry Louis, the anime is strong with this one.]

I'd be worried if someone found this easy to handle at first. If anything, I think this just confirms that we're sane.

ahaha lol idk about THAT but maybe it at least means we're less crazy than other ppl?

that'd be a nice change of pace 4 me honestly

So, I take it you're usually crazier than most people then?
