[It had been a few weeks since her last encounter with the snake attack in downtown but she never could have thought that everything would end up like this. Nevertheless, now that she was on the network?

Looks like she didn't have a choice. With a heavy sigh, she finally responded.]

So I got a quick question. Is there anyone here who doesn't want to be a part of this?

No offense but this isn't the type of thing I would go for. If you want to, then go ahead but I'm not suited for this. Between that snake attack and those aliens, there's got to be something else for those who can't handle it. Yeah, yeah, I can go help at the hospital but who wants to deal with seeing that everyday? That's a lot for an adult or even a kid to handle don't you think? What can a 10 year old do here?

[And not die in the process? However, there was some tapping noises coming from her other end.]

Whatever, I just want someone to get the numbers out of my head! I don't need another snake attack destroying the city or killing me!

[But she did have to admit, she was a little curious about whoever that person was that saved her.]

There are plenty of people who didn't want to be involved when they first started here, so it's completely understandable. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's a way to get rid of the numbers. At one point, you could leave Locke City and you'd forget everything, but it's a bit harder than that now, I think.

[Katie gave her a sigh]

You've got to be kidding me! There isn't a way to get out of this without moving out? There's got to be another way isn't there?

Or we're just not looking hard enough for another option?

Voice

[icy_heavens]

No way to get the numbers out of your head. If you don't want to get too involved, then don't, but nobody knows how to get rid of the numbers.

And your age doesn't have any bearing on whether you'd be able to do anything or not. [Said in a voice that's clearly of a boy around your age, and there's a hint of irritation in it. Youth is no excuse. It's never stopped him.]

Voice

[mimicery]

Too involved? More like how do I not get myself involved? At all?

[The younger girl said as she began tapping her fingers once more. She was a little surprised to hear someone as young as her on here but that didn't change her views one bit.]

It doesn't but there's a big difference. Doing community work and helping others out is fine but going off and being a hero? What do you think will happen?

Voice

[boredallready]

I forgot it when I went out of town. Maybe you just need to leave!

Voice

[mimicery]

[From there, Katie just gave him a look]

And where do you expect a 10 year old to go?

voice;

[ursoreckless]

You can't leave the club. Once you have the numbers, you're part of this. As for people that don't want to be involved, well, let's just say that's nearly everyone.

Oh, about half of the people on here are kids, so age has nothing to do with being active.

voice;

[mimicery]

Ah, that's just great. It's just like I thought, you can't escape it no matter how little you don't want to be a part of this thing!

Yeah but that won't change my mind...

voice;

[jailbreaks]

Nope, you're not alone. I wasn't too happy when I found out I was a part of this stupid 'club'.

voice;

[mimicery]

Oh yeah? Then how did you managed to deal with being a part of this 'club'?

[healspec]

[normally he does not care enough about the newbies to respond to them, but the "10-year-old" part combined with the girl's voice pings a protective urge]

You don't want to get rid of the numbers. All of this happens whether you have them or not, and if you have them, at least you can keep an eye on the network and know when something dangerous is happening.

Use that to stay out of trouble, not get into it.

[mimicery]

[From that, Katie just raised an eyebrow.]

But that's not what I'm talking about! I'm talking how about to get rid of the numbers period! Even if I can use it, it doesn't change that I'm going to be involved with this!

voice;

[saviorsoul]

I'm still figuring that part out. I think we need to know what we can actually do before we know if we're cut out for this.

Pretty sure we can't get rid of the numbers though. I mean, they're the only reason we really know what's going on at all. Without 'em, we'd be left in the dark. It's scary, but it makes us a lot less helpless with all this.

voice;

[mimicery]

But they also make us don't have to worry quite as much as before don't you think?

Although I guess it would make us a little less helpless if we knew what were doing or what's really going on.

Unfortunately, I think you're stuck with the numbers... unless you can convince your family to move out of Locke and not to Vegas. I don't think the number really goes away, but at least it stops affecting you as much.

video

[mimicery]

But still! Ugh!

There's really got to be another way! I can't be the only one who doesn't want to see all those snakes and aliens around! I still think there's probably a way but we just don't know how yet!

video;

[shineonyou]

This shit sucks, yo. Preach it, girl!

video;

[mimicery]

So there are other people who are tired of this!

And here I thought I was the only crazy one who thinks this whole thing isn't right!

voice;

[publicity]

Yeah, yeah, you're not the only one! You're not! This is still crazy!

[A huff.] And, ah, I guess it's okay when we all help each other... But, um... I'm not going to the hospital either.

voice;

[mimicery]

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who is frustrated by this! I still don't know why there are people who just excited about this!

[That and there's another reason why she's not going to the hospital but that's for another time.]

There's nothing wrong with helping but you just got be careful?

voice

[darkhourdear]

10 year olds can do plenty! I was 10 when I got my number! [even if he is 11 now.]

And you can't get the numbers to go away anyway.

voice

[mimicery]

[So there's another kid her age here.]

Oh? What can they do to help out with everyone in this city?

I'm starting to get the message, seems like I don't have a choice. How wonderful.

[And nope, she's not happy at all.]

[Written]

[ghostly_heiress]

I don't think there is a way for a child to get the numbers out of their head. If you were an adult, you could move, but I believe you're stuck otherwise.

Though a ten year old could do a lot. It depends on what kind of abilities they get.

The hospital isn't the worst place to be. Workers and regular patients deal with it well enough.

[Written]

[mimicery]

Tell me about it. No matter what answer I get, it looks like I'm stuck here whether I like it or not.

[How wonderful, she's part of the problem now.]

I didn't get any abilities yet but all I got are memories that aren't mine. It's creepy if you ask me.

...But not everyone can.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

I guess I can understand not wanting to be a part of this, but I can say without exaggeration that my echoes saved my life.

What is your name?

[Audio]

[mimicery]

[...] How did it? All the echoes did for me was ruin things for me.

[And confusing feelings]

But why do you want to know?

[Voice]

[gobybessie]

[ A ten year old. This is really getting out of hand. Like people weren't too young before. ]

I don't think any of us would like to get you involved in something dangerous.

[Voice]

[mimicery]

[+1 somewhat angsty, moody preteen in seems]

Well, I don't doubt that but I don't think anyone would want anyone else to get involved with this thing at all. Or at least just make this place safer somehow.

[And you know...not overwork certain people?]
