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.

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

[sinningsaint]

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

[sinningsaint]

Hairclips? Is that what you got? Weird.

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, you have the power of catching a ball in a cup. You're ball-cup man. Get your own Saturday morning cartoon!

But no I guess not. Maybe just call that "other junk" I guess. Or Extras can specifically refer to lame garbage like that.

[sinningsaint]

LOL, okay, so if someone learns how to shoot lasers from their eyes, we can call that a power, but if they can suddenly cook a great pot roast we're calling it an Extra.

[reapsthewind]

There we go :)

There is some guy who got rad ice powers and another dude who has telekinesis, so there we go.

Powers -- awesome shit you can do
Visions -- weird memories or things like languages or knowledge
Items -- Duh
Extras -- Useless crap

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.

[soulsborderline]

It's not THAT weird. I just saw a horse on here.

[shiromadoushi]

I've been calling them flashbacks.

And you forgot the horse. The one that talks.

You spot the FAQ yet?

[sinningsaint]

Cool, I approve of this system. This sounds like a much better list.

[sinningsaint]

Are you serious?!

[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.

[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?

[entertainaplanb]

Well, as far as I can tell, the number only happens once, if that's any comfort. Then again, I'm no expert.

Other people here have been dealing with this longer.

Welcome to Wonderland.

Have been using the term "alterations" myself.

[reapsthewind]

Oh also to clarify some stuff, it's not just a cat, there's also a horse. The horse is pretty nice so it's all good.

I'm pretty sure the aliens going to brainwash us quietly and THEN kill us even if we don't fight, or turn us all into grey goo or something. I feel like the guy just means he'll do it painlessly if we don't resist. Either that or if we don't resist we get to be his cute pets? I dunno, I just think he's an asshole.

"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]

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

[sinningsaint]

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

[sinningsaint]

yeah a few others mentioned the horse. This is all SO WEIRD.

Ugh, brainwashing is even worse. I think I'd rather just be dead.

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, so, we start a revolution instead, right? The memories I've gotten that make sense seem to be all about that anyway.

[sinningsaint]

Good, getting the number every time would be redundant.

Any idea for how long?

[icy_heavens]

I guess it's possible. All things considered, it would still be kind of suprising that I didn't get one of the "werewolf" ones.
