OK so like all these vision things are kind of coming together and I

[unintelligible scribble; if you're watching in real time, you could see 'don't know what to do' and 'don't think I like it.']

know I'm not the only one who's looking at maybe not [writing more slowly now] being who I thought I was?

Or even what I thought I was.

I kind of feel like I'm whining because I know a lot of you guys are dealing with this kind of thing too and have it worse. Like it's not obvious yet for me. But if this keeps going and I'm going to be some I don't even know. Some probably-alien that's blue and can't talk right. I won't be able to hide it for long.

So what the hell are we going to do? I feel like we should have a safe house or something, but there's not much I can do to make that happen.

Actually, me and someone else were considering making and maintaining a resources list for just this sort of thing. I may look perfectly human but know how it is to have to conceal some weirdness. I admit, I don't even know where to begin with that and may just have to ask about it on the network.

As a start, maybe get an apartment with others from the network. That at least is going to be safer than living with people who aren't familiar with all this. Maybe in time we could all pool resources towards something like a safe house.

OK cool.

All I've got so far is this thing where I repeat sounds. And a tail. But I made the tail go away.

[And has been too afraid he won't be able to do that again to see if he can get it to reappear.]

I'm 15 so I don't exactly have resources but I'll help any way I can. Like I could probably give someone around my age crash space or something.

[formermagicalgirl]

That's good at least. Is the tail something you could hide with clothing if it doesn't go away later?

And I understand the lack of resources, I'm just a college student myself. Most of us only have debt. But I have a feeling all of us have something we can offer to the group even if it isn't money.

I live alone, and I have a few extra rooms, if it comes to that.

[as silly as it is, he wishes he could offer the church as a safe haven, but the old romantic notion doesn't exactly stand up in modern day.]

It might not be very reassuring, but even if you change, you'll still be the same on the inside, won't you? [God, why does he suck at being comforting when it matters the most. Isn't this his job?]

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

[That's actually pretty reassuring.]

Yeah, you're right. We'll all still be ourselves.

And thats the kind of thing I was hoping people might have. Like a place for people to hide if they have to.

[caosgo]

I'll keep the offer open, then, if there's anyone that needs it.

[St. John's rectory wasn't really made for only one occupant, but money is tight thanks to the economy and they hadn't hired anyone since their last auxiliary minister left.]

In a way it's good that there's so many of us. We can support each other.

[hollowleg]

... I crave raw meat and can heal from horrible injuries. I wonder what I'm turning into.

But... we'll still be ourselves, for sure. No matter what! I'm not going to let this stupid shit change who I am.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Thats a good attitude!

At least the healing comes in handy?

voice;

[hollowleg]

If I don't keep a good attitude, I feel like I'll just go insane.

Yeah, well... not in a pinch, anyway. It makes me so tired that I almost pass out.

I... do have the resources to find a safe place but I'm not sure exactly what kind of place we may need. From what has been happening, it'll need a lot of work.

Sort of like a superhero headquarters or something that can handle us and anything else that can get thrown at us.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

[Alex thinks "superhero headquarters" is the best description of the idea anyone's come up with so far.]

I was kind of thinking like if people need a place to hide out, or help figuring out how to I don't know, pass for normal, that's what the place would be for.

And maybe like a base of operations if it needs to be?

permatext

[ursoreckless]

That's what I was thinking about. A place where we can hide or figure out how to look human again and a place where we can build things for future endeavors.

If someone can find a couple buildings, I can double check them through my end and then help with the bills if others don't have the funds.

Hey, it's me (Adrian).

You're not whining, it's proving hard for everyone. You alright? I'm about if you need to talk to someone.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Yeah I'm OK. I can't help but be worried even though it's not doing me any good to worry about stuff that hasn't happened yet.

[fatherssins]

I sort of know what you mean.

Funny isn't it? The human condition makes us worry, doesn't do us any good though.

Everyone seems scared at the moment.

he had actually not considered that

[dorkytracksuit]

BECOMING IT?

[handwritten] eek, poor Davin!

[moarnomsplz]

[It made sense when Chris was talking about it.]

Its probably different for everyone. But for me it seems pretty obvious. First I satrted talking all weird without realizing it, and then I had this huge tail in the caves. If the theory that we're remembering stuff is right, then when we change it'd be part of the same person, right? Or. Not person I guess.

[dorkytracksuit]

oh no.

no no no, that is not happening. no way.

[espigeonage]

I don't know what the other me's name is. He answered to the Apostle of the Violet Rose once. And he's very, very not human but I don't know what he *looks* like, but if I grow his wings somehow I think I can't hide that.

Wish I could contribute. I can ask around about abandoned property outside of the Dead Zone, and stuff for sale outside the city proper, I guess.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

It's weird, but even though the main theory seems to be that these are memories we're getting back or whatever, it still feels like it all belongs to someone else.

If all of us could pitch in, it might be enough to rent or buy a place, even if everyone could only pitch in a little.

[Hajime feels for the kid; he's fairly certain he's turning into a giant bug. Saw himself turning into a giant bug, remembers being that giant bug on a monstrous rampage, and has the green blood to prove it. Not that he's really willing to talk about that right off the bat, but this is a concern he shares.]

A safe house isn't a bad idea. All I've got right now is my apartment, but I could hide anyone who needed a place to stay.

Is there anything you need help with now?

[Helping someone else who's turning into something freaky sounds like a good way to distract himself from impending giant bug-dom, really...]

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

I'm OK for now, thanks. I'm just worried about what's going to happen when its not so easy to hide stuff, because I sort of expect that's how it's going to go.

I can't exactly get my own apartment, I wish I could. Maybe the more separate places we have, the better? But I do like the idea of one place for everyone too.

[There's much here that warrants something said - but nothing that can be used seems to be articulately forming in spite of everything, he's dead aware of the need for a place to hide but hasn't a bit of the right to suggest anything. He glosses through the other responses for something constructive to say, and...]

Has your tail come back since then?

[Then being "you made it 'go away'".]

[Text | Handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

No. I haven't tried. I think it might have been like a reaction to being in danger. And I'm kind of not sure exactly what I did to make it go away.

Are you OK?
