[The author of this particular addition to the network seems to understand as much as any other newcomer at first. The numbers had been stuck in his head starting a few days after his arrival into the city, though the event that sparked it was something he had barely noticed. An emotion had pulled at him since then. However, it wasn't particularly jarring or life changing, aside from the fact that he rarely felt any sort of emotion in his every day life.

A carefully handwritten message appears on the network, entirely in Japanese.]

It's not going away.

What does it mean?

[About half an hour later, another message appears on the network. This time, it's a text. It's also in English.]

Nevermind. I found what I was looking for.

Depends on what "it" is.

If you mean these numbers, they just mean your life's gone crazy now.

[controlsdesire]

That was what I meant. I didn't realize I was broadcasting.

I found what I was looking for.

[Yes, it is crazy and he's going to need awhile to read through everything and process it, but he's not quite sure about how much he wants to say to anyone here.]

[chalicejoker]

So what were you looking for?

I doubt you were able to figure out the meaning behind all of this by going through a bunch of messages left by a bunch of people who don't know what's going on.

[controlsdesire]

Information. Answers.

I know as much as everyone else does.

[chalicejoker]

You don't really know that much, then.

[Because it's not like anyone has seemed to have a really good idea of exactly what's going on here, as far as he's been able to tell.]

[controlsdesire]

You'd be surprised.

[Considering how much info he just managed to dig up? He's way ahead of where he's been for the last couple weeks and it gives him plenty of material to investigate.]

[chalicejoker]

Or you just talk big.

[Nah, he's really doubting someone new just magically figured things out by going through everything.]

[controlsdesire]

Or you'd like me to prove you wrong.

[It's not enough to understand everything, of course. There's still plenty of questions, especially since he wasn't around for everything else, but...]

I'm not sure you realize exactly how much information can be easily accessed on here.

[chalicejoker]

Go ahead.

Clue me in to your new-found wisdom.

[So much sarcasm here. So much.]

[controlsdesire]

I have no reason to share information.

[Yeah, he picked up on that much.]

[chalicejoker]

No reason to share, no real information, same difference to me in the end.

[controlsdesire]

Fair enough.

[Nope. Not getting him riled up. :|]
