first thing first, what's the date and time?

SECOND: THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: IF YOU SEE AN ODD LOOKING MACHINE WITH A STRANGE GLOWING SYMBOL AND LOTS OF INVITING BUTTONS DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE URGE TO TOUCH SAID MACHINE. IT WILL BE TRAUMATIZING.

BEFORE I FORGET SOMEONE NEEDS TO CALL THE COPS; THERE'S A DEAD BODY IN THE POOL. damnit i think i recognize that face too. it's the guy who was screaming about cultists getting him a couple days ago.

Hey, my phone's dead and payphones are surprisingly hard to find in this day and age.

Er..well...I guess that's what it looks like. Got sent somewhere else. Don't ask me where, I don't know.

[sylvanguard]

Don't worry I will tell him you're alive. Are you alright, all fingers and toes accounted for?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

All body parts accounted for. Tell him I'm fine, in Vegas and I'll be home soon.

[sylvanguard]

Just saying, even if I do tell him, and I will, he will still wanna talk with you.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I know, I know. It's kinda a given he's going to yell.

[sylvanguard]

That goes without saying. I take it you're calmer now, yeah? so WTF is this about a body?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I reappeared at the bottom of a pool, touching some glowing sigil. Naturally, first impulse is to get some air and when I got myself sorted out there was this body lying face down in the same pool I was in.

[sylvanguard]

Lemme just say it again: Oh Shit. And he wasn't with you wherever you went?

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Nope, definitely not! Last I seen of the guy was when he made that panicky post on the Network about cultists.

[sylvanguard]

Oh shit. [she is writing that a lot.] I haven't been on the network much... been sleeping and trying to fly under the radar...

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Me either....I've been busy with my own stuff. Something about insane cultist though is what I got out of it.
