001 ♌ [Text | Laptop]

[She had been relaxing at home, a cup of green tea in one hand and a laptop propped in front of her when the numbers seemed to come full force at her again. It was easy to type them out, a quick string on her screen--and it changed things.

The first few things she sees are just messages. Questions and answers about these numbers from people she's never met. But she presses past it. There's something about a mine and wills and suddenly Leola is not sure what she's stumbled into.

Her typing is hesitant at first.]

Did I stumble into a forum? I suppose I could have picked up the numbers from one of my students and this is an elaborate joke. A marketing campaign for a movie maybe? It's clever though I'm not sure what I'm supposed to get from this. A movie about people trapped in mines or something? Isn't that a little off? Too soon?

And really subliminal messaging was proven to be impossible despite what fiction leads you to believe. So I'm not sure how I came by these numbers. Perhaps you could enlighten me. Or I suppose I could just ignore whatever this is.

Classes are out for the summer, I think I'd rather read than get sucked into some silly forum goose chase.

Davin.

Though not many people know it around here.

[hopeungovernable]

Leola. And what gives me the pleasure?

Skepticism?

[dorkytracksuit]

I just decided recently to.. be braver. No one has asked since then.

[hopeungovernable]

Braver? Ah, not used to people or afraid they'll come find you?

[dorkytracksuit]

Heh, a little of both.

Let's just say I'm not ignorant to the cruelty men are capable of.

[hopeungovernable]

I'm going to take it you're an adult then. Or a very pretentious child.

[dorkytracksuit]

25. And you pretty thing?

[hopeungovernable]

Oh flirting are we? And I thought you were afraid of people.

A lady shouldn't tell but a few years older than you.

[dorkytracksuit]

and a lady. just my type.

text is okay. i can deal with that.

[hopeungovernable]

god help you if you ever see a girl in public. you must be tonguetied

[dorkytracksuit]

you have no idea.

[hopeungovernable]

I'm a teacher by the way.

[dorkytracksuit]

if you think that's going to make me stop hitting on you, you're sorely mistaken.

however i would stop if it made you uncomfortable. or if you asked. because i respect you and your boundaries.

[hopeungovernable]

Not meant to dissuade you. Merely offering up something about myself.

So you know more than the name of the person you're hitting on. Or does it not particularly matter?

Also a student of mine is on this post and would probably claw his eyes out if he saw this.

[dorkytracksuit]

nah. i just say that stuff because of how absurd it is. sometimes i forget this isn't my img board.

im a cps worker. so i guess we have something in common.

[hopeungovernable]

wow really? That must be difficult.

[dorkytracksuit]

[hopeungovernable]

[dorkytracksuit]
