[Liam turns on the video on his laptop and makes sure it's working before speaking.]

Hey guys, what's up? Question. Who still has buildings in the business district that need to repairs?

I'm working down there with Rain Industries, and I figured it would probably be cool of me to ask all you guys if you needed to get it done quicker or something. I also thought some of you might have weird echo-y stuff there as well, and maybe you'd like to keep that discrete.

[He looks off to the side for a second, and yells at Jack to get off the couch before turning back.]

And another question. Any other vegans? I need to find some good places for food, like a specialty store. There's only so much I can find the grocery store that's both vegan and organic. I'm kind of tired of eating the same food all the time, you know?

[Today you are graced by yet another glorious view of Matt, today outside. He is sitting on his aunt and uncle's back deck, by the light of a few citronella candles. There is dramatic music playing. He has a handful of index cards, that he flashes at the screen one by one. They read as follows:

So a lot of people have been asking me about Persona and stuff.

I think a lot of you don't believe me.

Those guys suck.

A bunch of you want me to show you, though.

It can't hurt right?

Okay I'm going to give you 30 seconds to walk away because it's disturbing.

No one under 13 OK?

So College got cancelled.

I'm devastated.

Who would cancel a show like that?

What would you have to be smoking?

CULT FOLLOWING.

I think it's been 30 seconds.

Last chance.

And he puts the cards down.]

Seriously, don't blame me if you watch after this. It's kinda dark.

( Cut for Persona 3 summoning )

I can't believe they cancelled it. It was just getting good again.

[Julien is being so careful to keep his voice light, but someone sensitive might pick up the sheathed edge. He's irritated.]

Okay, I hate asking this, but can I completely take over anyone's hot tub or like... small pool? Something not chlorinated. Or would help me set up and fill one of those largish inflatable pools on their property somewhere.

[Pause. Yeah, he probably should provide a reason.]

It looks like I'm molting. It's - annoying.

seethelanterns

[With recent events, Solana's usual cheer isn't quite there. As much as she tries to keep it in place, it's not as evident. More forced at least initially. She can't help dwelling on it since she saw it on the news. Mentioned on the network.]

I'm glad things seem to have worked out with the police at least? But I'm not so sure I'm comfortable with hearing about that murder. I gather she was one of us? That's...that doesn't bode well. I guess so far I'm lucky I haven't really echoed back anything majorly obvious like all that blonde hair.....? but even so I can't help but be kind of....well, terrified about that.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one? I mean. Okay, I have...a frying pan. But that isn't enough to really defend myself with? I don't have any special powers or anything. I don't suppose there's much we can do though. At least, unless this gets even more serious and more of us are attacked. I'm not sure on the details if that even is why she was attacked and killed or it was just a coincidence she was one of us. If it was....some sort of warning to all of us?

I don't know. There's probably still a lot that went down that me being so new, I've not realized, but....I just hope everyone is careful. Take care of each other, okay?

ACTION: CLOSED TO FAMILY/ANYONE AT THE THORSSON'S

( Here )

NETWORK

[After a shower, a lecture, and a good few tears, Killian gets on his laptop]

Uh. I’ve been found. I’m back. No need to look for me anymore.

[No apology for leaving since really, he’s not sure who cares beyond his family]

disdainfully

[The feed comes on to the plaza before the entrance hall of Locke airport, for a moment only showing general scenery before focusing on the fountain that is located there. And on a certain blond man who seems to just have been thrown into it, as he's currently sitting up from a position that he clearly did not get into voluntarily, face down in the rather shallow and gross water.

The voice that speaks up is Thorir's, impatience, threat and disdain mingling into a tone of touchy annoyance. Thorin might not have cared about being short, but Thorir has always been tall and comes from a culture that has an issue with short males. Plus he has lived fifty years without having to learn how to not be the tallest/one of the tallest people in any given group of peers.]

In case any of you feels the need to point out any physical changes about myself in the future, I request you to simply keep such thoughts to yourself.

[He breathes. This was only a side point, all things considered, but one that he wanted to make. The camera now turns towards himself. He looks tired, weary, not so much from lack of actual sleep but from family trouble and now the vanishing of the younger of his nephews, and the worry connected with it. This only made the family trouble more complicated, really.

Curiously, no physical change is actually visible on him, at least not on screen.]

That said, I'm back in the city now. If anyone has seen Killian since my brother inquired about him, or should see him in the future, it would be helpful if they could request either of us, or Fil or Gabriel. I doubt that he has left the city, and since his contacts either mainly exist within the confinements of the network, past and present...

Should whoever is offering him a place to hide right now see this, it would be helpful to both him and his family, as we worry about him, if you could facilitate contact between us - even if it is just through emails. We won't force him into anything, and if he wants to keep a distance for the next few months, that can be talked about as well. But a solution would definitely best be found together, as family.

[He seems to want to say more, but then the camera suddenly sways and his mobile phone clatters to the ground, and a loud splash can be heard. Someone stood too close to the fountain that he just kicked his bff into.]

[It's the first time Hjalti's ever used the network with a video post, but he's getting desperate. It's also the first time he's accessed the network from a device that's not his phone or his laptop - he's on one of the computers in Thorir's house, and it's got a webcam and he's activated it because he's pretty damn serious about this. Whatever's going on, he's obviously tense, probably worried, a little angry, but definitely has a purpose in mind with this.]

Anyone out there, if you, uh, if you know Killian Ryan - he was supposed to meet me today, but he didn't show and he didn't call. I came over to the house and it- [Pause. Things are gonna be okay, things are gonna be okay...] Something happened, his phone is still here, and so's his cat, but some of his stuff is missing. With everything that's been going on lately-

[Yeah, he probably doesn't need to continue that, does he? Deaths and the police and the media and just the usual madness of being numbered, it's enough to make anyone worried.]

We're trying to find him. He needs to be here, with... his family.

[Please send his son back to him.]

[After that's done, though, it's time to call his brother. There's definitely going to be problems with this.]

mimicery

[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.]

enguarding

[ Noah appears on screen, sitting in front of his laptop. He wasn't really meaning to show off the clothes he'd echo'd back weeks ago thanks to Sierra, but… ]

Well, forget about the aliens and all that stuff-- past me had no sense of fashion! And may have been… completely batshit, but anyway-- [ IMPORTANT POSTS, BROUGHT TO YOU BY NOAH. He'll just have to show you. He stands up and stands back to show off what he's wearing, though it's clear he's not sure how to hold himself in such… well, weird-ass clothes. ]

Look at these pants, I could fit a freaking kitchen sink in these. Like it took me two hours to figure out that they were pants, and not like a parachute or something.

I guess it's not so bad compared to what my sister-- [ A lightbulb goes off in Noah's head. ] Actually, you totally need to see my sister's outfit. And her hair. Just-- hold on a second!

[ He dashes off, leaving the video showing a view of his bedroom. Wow, stunning. When he comes back, it’s with his sister in tow. Notably, her hair is now a nice shade of pink, and she’s (incredibly reluctantly) wearing something other than her usual jeans and sweaters combo. There’s an ace bandage on her left arm, a few inches below the shoulder, for some reason or another. She’s also carrying a cat. ]

I don’t see why you wanted me to - [ And theeeeen she sees the camera on his laptop is on. ] Noah Callahan, don’t tell me you’ve got this connected to the network!

Uh… okay, I won't tell you? [ Noah shrugs, somewhat sheepish. ] I mean, I figured you'd totally want to show off your duds and cat to our comrades-in-weird, right?

No! [ THIS ISN’T EVEN THE SORT OF THING SHE USUALLY BOTHERS TO POST ABOUT...Which, since she has thus far bothered to post about joining the network and having healing powers, is sort of obvious. She looks torn between laughing and scolding some more. ] It’s - I’m - it’s so pink.

[ Noah seems to think that this is the sort of thing that the numbers network should totally be used for, sharing the absurdity of echoes! ] You're the pinkest leprechaun there ever was. [ SO MUCH LAUGHTER ] Sierra Pink Callahan. Pinky!

[ Aaaand then she smacks his shoulder. ] That’s not my name. [ To the network. ] It’s not, really. It’s Sierra Irene. Anyway, we’ve wasted enough of their time, okay? So let’s just... [ END THIS...

How is this a waste of time? Okay, but Noah shrugs and heads back over to his laptop. With a small wave, he shuts off the video. This has been another installment of Who Let The Callahan Siblings On The Network. ]

Who: Julien and OPEN to anyone in Locke! Mingling's encouraged!
When: Friday the 25th, all day!
Where: Locke City's Pine Maple Park - away from Locke's heart but well within the boundary.
What: It's Julien's birthday!

[For awhile, Ariel debates the format by which to appear on the network. In the end, she pops up via video, since she feels that would be the best way to go about talking to people. Especially in regarding the nature of her network communication.]

So I told my family about the ears and and about the numbers. [ She hadn't mean't to tell them about the numbers, but it had come up and been unavoidable. Her expression conveys that she is unhappy with her choice, but what was done, was done.]

And it took them awhile, but they're mostly cool with it all. Except my little sis. She is having a crisis and I'm over it. [Really, She was done with having to cater to her sister's ego and to her mood swings.]

Anyway, I am in the market for a place to stay, on a more permanent basis. Couch surfing is good and all, but I'll want a more permanent place pretty quickly. I was wondering if anyone knew some place in Locke that wouldn't be too bad to stay at? I can't afford anything too expensive but I'm not exactly broke either.

Suggestions and roommate offers are welcome!

[Maria is...confused, and she kind of looks like it. She thinks that's the right word for this. Her thoughts and feelings are kind of muddled on a memory she received when a vermini attacked her on the 12th. She's been thinking about it to herself ever since then, and only now is she turning to the network.]

Okay, so, two things. One, I got a sweet bow! It's cool, guys, like...the design is perfect for me, but that's not the only awesome thing about it. Just yesterday, I forgot I left it in my room 'cause I was going to practice with it, and then it literally appeared in my hands. I thought it was a fluke or maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but I tested that out. This bow? I can totally summon it from wherever it is. Distance doesn't even matter. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my quiver, but I'll take it.

[Despite her feelings on the memory, nothing can contain her happiness and excitement over this development. Still...it's not enough to dispel it completely.]

And number two...I got a memory, and I don't know how to...feel about it. I think it's something that explains why I have this bow.

[She runs a hand through her hair, troubled.]

So...this memory. Past me made a vow to the Greek goddess Artemis. I did some research, and that basically means I was a handmaiden to her. And the Oath came with some warnings. Taking it meant that she could only die in combat or if she fell in love. Does that sort of thing...I don't know, carry over? Do I have to follow that same Oath because I took it in a past life?

bravelyspoken

[ Emery has sort of been... hiding a little since Wise snake. The hiding might be related to the fact that he was throwing snakes around with TK and although he didn't give anyone his name or anything (or really stick around for too long, and he tried to hide) he's decently paranoid about the FBI turning up on his doorstep.

Still. He squints at his webcam as he turns it on, adjusting it slightly with intense concentration before blinking and sitting back to smile brightly. ]

Right! I know everyone is... busy and everything, with... aliens and, err, investigations.

[ Distinctly uncomfortable here. He scratches the back of his head. ]

And, if, you know -- anyone needs any help or something please just say. I'm not rolling in money but I have a sofa and I'm a half decent cook. It isn't our fault, what's happening to us, and nobody should suffer for it.

[ He frowns in concern, fidgeting for a moment, then forces a brighter smile. ]

Anyway! Aside from all that, I have a really important question.

[ He turns -- and obviously he's in a computer chair because it spins around and wheels back. There's a faint mewing sound, then Emery is hauling a enormous Maine Coon into his lap. It flicks an ear unhappily, and he just scritches it and cradles it like a baby. ]

If you had to name this cat, what would you call it? Oh -- it's a boy, by the way.

I have a few questions for the Network in general about echoes, if people would be so kind to answer them.

What do you think the echoes are?

What usually prompts your echoes?

What is the strangest incident that produced an echo? What is the most mundane? If you don't want to give specifics on an incident for either of these, some generalizations would still be appreciated.

Do you get echoes from the strange incidents that is usually associated with the alien things, Re: Wise Snake, the lights in Vegas, etc?

How many people remember other people on the Network in their echoes?

Thank you for anyone who answers.

[It's text today for Liam, since there's something he doesn't want the network to see.]

Okay I realize aliens are historic and important, and I should probably be more excited right now, but what the fuck is happening to my ears? They're growing or something.

[Growing points, but whatever, let's not advertise that.]

I think I screwed up somewhere. They were sore so I put on a chili pepper extract that I use for my calve muscles after hikes, and now they're just burning like all hell. What can I do to get this stuff off them? Bread?

Hello. [ a new face on the network — at least, in terms of direct posts. Some people may have seen her replying to other posts throughout it for the last few days. Yuna had decided she wanted to gauge exactly what all this was about before she got involved, and after that, wanted to make sure to collect any information already available so she wouldn't plague the network with repeated questions. She's considerate. She wears a smile, but it is somehow lacking in light — it's contrived, the face of someone willingly venturing into something beyond their current comprehension. ] My name is Yuna. I should say it's a pleasure to meet all of you, since it seems I'll be working with all of you for some time.

I was wondering, if it wasn't a hassle, if anyone would like to meet for a coffee. I'd love to chat with some of you, face to face. I have some questions, and really.. I'd like to talk about my memory— Um, my 'echo' that is. You see.. [ how to put it.. she tilts her head quizzically, taking a moment to figure out how to say it. ] I've had this memory for a long time, but I only just remembered it. Does that make any sense? I think being in Locke City for the first time after so long jogged ift somehow.

Ah.. [ Her restrained smile returns. ] I'll explain it in detail later, if anyone's interested. I'll attach the address of the coffee shop. They have great coffee, I have to say! I think everyone should try it if they get the chance.

See you later, and thank you.

[So it rained today. Killian happened to be out during the rain, heading home from the bus stop, and he found something.

That something is a two month old Maine Coon kitten. She's on Killian's laptop and pawing at the screen during most of this post and he just keeps picking her up and moving her off]

So would you believe there's no decent video of "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" on YouTube? I was going to post one to celebrate Sherman's arrest. Oh well, either way.

[The kitten, bored of poking at the laptop, is now trying to climb on Killian. Again, he just keeps picking her up and putting her to the side]

And I picked up a stray cat today. I've already talked to my uncle so I'm keeping her, I know the basics of cat care so no one jump my ass for it, we've got a vet and I'm pretty sure I can afford cat food and stuff, but...anyone have any tips to keep her from attacking every little thing? And can anyone tell me what breed she is? I'm going to the vet tomorrow but I dunno if she'll be able to tell me or anything.

youngestone

Who: Killian Ryan and Ariel Boisvert
What: Ariel got her Elf ears and she needs a distraction. That means archery. And probably talking about what all this Echo stuff means after a bit.
When: 4/13, afternoonish
Where: The stables where Killian works (away from the horses, obviously)
Warnings: At the moment? Killian's derp.

( Or Nothing. )

sylvanguard

[Guess who isn't amused? That's right, her. The reason for her rather annoyed look is because she is now sporting a set of pointed ears that are slightly bigger than her former human ears. Even if she got creative with her hair, its almost certain the tips would peak out.]

Okay not amused. Gabriel this is all your fault! First you rock up with pointy ears and now look! Ears like yours!

[She turns her head so that her ears are more prominently displayed.]

What am I going to do?

[The last question is more rhetorical and is muttered to herself. She might be starting to freak out. Then suddenly looking up she furrows her brows slightly.]

I guess the better question is how do you tell you're family you're different?

sylvanguard

Bear with me guys, I'm a bit new to all this.
[That being the superhero or whatever it was being called, thing.]

The name is Ariel. I've suspected for some time that I was different, but until recently I didn't think there was really anyone else like me. Now I know I'm wrong.

Anyway, I'm here more to offer help than to blather on about myself. My dad is a photographer of some renown, popular in fashion mags and stuff. He is best known for his "fusion photography" which is combining nature and models together to create awareness about the environment and stuff. Well, I know there are a few of you out there whose appearance might not be considered normal, so I'm making this offer to you, drop me a line and I'll get you in touch with my dad. Maybe you could put a positive spin on things before the media fear mongers you into something you don't want to be.

[A small hesitation in typing. It's conceivable that there are people who want to be feared as well, and she knows it.]

This is only if you want to try and change public opinion of you or maybe start a new career. [Talking to you Julian.]

Anyway, aside from that, I'm curious to know just how many people out there have a thing for archery? I recently discovered I am quite good at it. Like, insanely good. I'd like to maybe have a friendly competition between archers one of these days. You know get to know each other and all that.
