[ Eriks doesn't know why he puts the number into his phone. It's been a constant presence at the back of his head for a good week now, sure, but he's made an art out of ignoring it. No, more accurately, he doesn't notice he's put the number into his phone until his thumb has already done it: having already scrolled through everything that needs reading in the morning (work emails, the news, Tumblr of course—), he's left with nothing to do but fidget. And fidget he does, right into a goldmine of information that his bosses would skin a man for.
He forgets all about the eggs cooking on the stove and deposits himself in a kitchen chair, skim reading like no one has ever skim read before. Watches a few videos, follows a few links, listens to a few audio posts, and gleans too much and too little all at once. He can already tell his nights will be occupied with plenty of reading material for many weeks to come. Sleep? Not anymore, bud.
Still... reading is one thing. Watching is another. But conversation is absolutely indispensable, and he needs to talk with these people. But he needs to approach it carefully. Delicately. And, from the looks of things, not mention that whole 'with the Feds' thing.
With this in mind, he flips his phone camera to video, puts on his best charming smile, and initiates First Contact with exactly as much seriousness as he should. ]
Ladies and gentlemen, hello! I admit my disappointment that this isn't the beautiful, mysterious barista's phone number I thought it was, since I was pretty sure I memorized it. I guess she gave me a fake number, after all...
But here's the good news: this eligible bachelor has just become available in your undercover supernatural neighborhood! I enjoy long walks on the beach and extended discourse on the virtues of life and love. Hours of illuminating conversation are 100% free of charge, and there's even a platonic package available for the less daring. Inquire within for further details.
[ A beat, as black smoke billows from the abandoned frying pan behind him. He doesn't turn, doesn't even shift, but there's a brief second of tragicomedy in his expression when the smell of eggs-cum-charcoal hits his nose. How long has he been... ah, hell.
Composure utterly unwavering, ]
—And whoever recommends the best diner will receive a limited edition free coffee! Act now while supplies last; you'd be a fool to pass this one up, folks!
I apologize for the (exciting) interruption and you may now return to your usual programming.
[ Gives a winning smile as the video goes off — and then topples the chair (and very nearly the table) in his scramble to deal with what was once his breakfast.
Quite the catch, ladies and gentlemen, don't miss out!! ]

Nine months...........
That's a pregnancy. That's a whole new human being in the time she's been a part of this, and he was none the wiser. ]
... Do your parents know?
[ HOW DEEP DOES THIS CONSPIRACY GO ]
voice;
[ They're not overprotective but THIS MIGHT TRIP SOME PARENTAL INSTINCT, JUST A TAD...
Also, how to explain any of it. ]
It's not like I'm in it blind, though. I mean...I can see with my feet now. So that's cool.
voice;
... What?
[ What????? Oh god, he suddenly remembers all the eye-strangeness-related posts he skimmed through— oh god!! ]
Sophie, did you grow eyes on your feet? [ hOW UNCOMFORTABLE WOULD THAT BE ] Do you need a doctor? I'm sure we can find one in the mafia!

[ ... ]
The vibrations in the ground!
voice;
what. ]
Uhh....
I'm gonna need you to elaborate 100% more than you have.
voice;
I can...do that. In the ground. I echoed back earthbending ages ago. It's... [ ... ] Magic earth powers, basically.
[ TO SIMPLIFY IT... ]
voice;
You're literally a superhero!? [ HIDEOUSLY IMPRESSED, can you really blame him ] I want to see this!
voice;
[ ...PROBABLY BECAUSE HER MOTHER WAS SICK OF THE MOVING AROUND AS A KID which is tbqh why they haven't bailed the hell out of Locke already. ]
I can show you whenever you come over. And hey, I know where you can get the best dinner around: mom's making stir-fry tonight.
voice;
Though... I might get a talking to for not mentioning I'm in town.
[ HA ha communication...... ]
voice;
[ Because it'll get worse the longer you wait, bro. ]
voice;
[ THE MOST DRAMATIC SIGH ]
The things I do for the pleasure of your company, kid.
