Okay, I've done my best to lurk around here and figure out what's going on in this 'Network.' Let me see if I got the facts right:

-Some of you enjoy goofing off here, but there's some serious stuff going on.

-Those of us with 'numbers' can slowly start getting weird things like weird languages and randomly appearing scars and useless skills with toys and memories for things we haven't experienced. (Extras? Is that what we're calling them? That's the most creative thing you guys could come up with?)

-Those creepy statues at the art gallery are using magic or something to convince people to like them, to buy from Thunder corp, and are sending us to some weird forum where aliens(?) talk about us like we're weeds and want us to agree to leave them alone so they don't kill us.

-People are getting haunted by...werewolf ghosts? I really hope I got that part wrong.

-Child spies? Vampires? What??

-A cat somehow randomly got on here.

I'd think this was all some weird ARG I stumbled across, like I Love Honey or something. But I can make my hands glow for some reason, and I can't imagine how an ARG could pull off THAT. This is some of the weirdest things I've ever heard of...Last Legend fans would call this contrived.

Who the fuck is calling them extras? That's fucking dumb. I've been calling the memories "visions" because they're clearly not my memories, and the abilities powers, even when they're fucking useless, because that's what they are. Bam.

[sinningsaint]

I agree that 'extras' is really dumb, but is "hey look I can catch a ball in a cup" really a power?

I'll settle for someone telling me where my new hairclips came from.

[sinningsaint]

Hairclips? Is that what you got? Weird.

[entertainaplanb]

Is that what that link's all about? Charming of them. Think I'll pass.

I'm at the gallery now; someone at work wouldn't shut up about it.

[sinningsaint]

More or less. It's a seriously creepy read.

My mom dragged me to that a few days ago. That's when I started to get this number in my head.

I've been calling them flashbacks.

And you forgot the horse. The one that talks.

You spot the FAQ yet?

[BRB going to check through the recent messages again--oh, there's a few new ones that got posted while he was making his own post.]

I'd completely missed the talking horse until now. This is crazy!

Nope, haven't seen an FAQ. Link me?

Have been using the term "alterations" myself.

[sinningsaint]

Huh. That works. It's better than just 'extras' for every single thing.

"Werewolf ghosts" is the going theory, though I at least question the werewolf part. Nothing about what I experienced with that lead me to think of wolves.

[But ghosts? Yeah, he's relatively sure on that part.]

[sinningsaint]

Maybe there's more than one type of ghost running around?

[handcuff]

[ well, that saved him a lot of confusion! thanks bro, except he's totally not going to thank you. ]

Is it just glowing or does the glowing do something?

[sinningsaint]

Not sure. It seems like it must do something, but I can't figure out what.

I've just been calling them pains in the ass.

At least you'll never have to worry about finding light during a power outage again, I guess.

They're not THAT bad. Are they?

I don't know if the glow is that strong. ...BRB.

[Text]

[sinningsaint]

I TAKE IT BACK! They DO glow strong enough to be a light source! Sweet!

You're certainly not kidding about things being "strange".

[Not that any of this was normal but the cat was her personal breaking point.]

[sinningsaint]

I usually make it pretty clear when I'm joking, heh. It's good to know that everyone's not so entrenched in this yet that it doesn't seem strange.

Who said vampires

[sinningsaint]

Some guy on the Network said he wanted to taste blood. If there's werewolf ghosts and alien evil AI, then something like that has got to mean vampire, right?

[steelettos]

i also hope you got that part wrong about werewolf ghosts.

[sinningsaint]

it's starting to look like I'm not wrong about werewolf ghosts. Sorry.

voice because sob his spelling

[comparative_insanity]

Well, I'm not sure I'm a vampire, just that it's creepy.

[And since it's only about one person, he's not sure if it counts.]

And that would be two cats, one talking and one not, and the talking horse. Oh, and "Extras" still sounds better than "weird things", which is what I've been using.

and voice right back at ya!

[sinningsaint]

[Joshua hesitates to respond back with voice, but it only seems polite...and he still feels relatively secure in his anonymity. So he plugs his mic into his computer and switches to that.]

Oh, then sorry for calling you one. That just seemed to make sense, considering how weird and supernatural everything associated with this is.

Yeah, "weird things" is a mouthful. Someone else suggested "alterations" to me, which almost works well, except for item drops.
