So, about the aliens.

You know the perky one? He was handing out ice cream last week, and then came to the shell freaks’ meeting-- I think his name’s Badri. We talked at the ice cream thing, and I asked him if he had cool alien powers. He said he can’t used them on me, but he can show me how it works on a pigeon.

[There’s a pause. Emil looks uncomfortable, and not because Badri made him pinky-swear not to tell.]

He looked at it and it just-- I don’t know what he did, but the pigeon freaked out. It couldn’t move but you could tell it’s suffering. Then he let go and it just died. Keeled over. Badri said it’s because, and I quote, “the severe mental trauma”. He also said that usually it only happens to more intelligent creatures. [Another pause, and he gives the camera a meaningful look.] More intelligent. He can literally scare people to death with his mind.

And It’s not just him having creepy powers. You should’ve seen the way he acted-- he kept smiling like it’s a game. When the pigeon died he was all like [Emil does a rather convincing impression of Badri’s voice] “Oops! Didn’t mean to kill it, must be the severe mental trauma, tee-hee-hee!”

I know they’ve been okay so far, but it was fucked up. What kind of person tortures an animal just to demonstrate something and smiles while he’s doing it?

Almost everyone who worked at the clinic is losing their echoes.

It should still be safe, but... It's weird, isn't it?

I wonder if there's a reason. It feels awful.

[Whoops hello everyone, someone's been mopey lately(dead significant others will do that to you) and boy does it show. Shinji's currently sitting on his bed hugging his knees with his laptop in front of him.]

So...if I told the FBI I didn't want anything to do with the robot I got back anymore, what do you guys think would happen?

[Here's Rei, actually using the video function in a public post for once. Look at her coming out of her shell. The special occasion is marking by her sporting a head of shiny, light blue hair. If you've actually managed to see her before now, you'll know that her hair has been brown up until this point.]

Not only have I been gifted with these hideous, disgusting, bright red eyes, but I now have an equally disconcerting hair color to match. My freak credentials continue to vault to new heights.

For those of you that actually know me, don't be looking for a brown haired girl, I suppose. Although, I'm considering just dyeing it back...[She runs her fingers through her newly colored hair alongside a look of dissatisfaction.]

After all, who needs an even bigger target painted on their back? I know any punk kid can dye their hair blue, but having freaky red eyes too makes it a little more obvious. I don't want to draw suspicion, after all, the little fan group is probably doing a pretty good job of figuring out how to spot one of us. If I'm already going to be bent to the FBI's will I'd rather not have even more people grabbing at me.

[Her eyes avert themselves from the camera bitterly.] Or throwing rocks.

Maybe good ol' Geoff can give me an explanation for this too? Where was his address on what our deal is? Okay, great, Tiny was addressed, I'm happy about that. But what about those of us who's bodies are going through a metamorphosis? I want them to make that right too. Geoff seems like he doesn't wish us any harm, and his words are worth trusting, so I'll be waiting, I guess.

My name is Amy Dylandy. You may know my brother, Neil. He's apparently been communicating with you already.

I've been able to remember these numbers since that thing's rampage in the city, but I haven't exactly been sure of what to make of it till now. I guess part of me wanted to pretend it wasn't really happening.

I guess I really can't do that now, can I?

So, I suppose I'm a part of this thing now. Consider this my introduction. I'd like to ask a question to start off.

What is a "Gundam"?

[locked to Neil Dylandy]

This is probably a big surprise, brother, but so was seeing you on the news. I'm sorry I kept this bottled up for so long, but I had no idea how to bring it up before now.

[There's a brunette almost glaring at the screen when it flips on, but you just get a quick flash of the person before he's flipping the camera to a blue and navy flight suit complete with a matching helmet which is laid out on his very messy bed.]

I was going to ignore this but I guess I can't now considering this damn thing showed up on me while outside- in public... does it mean anything to anyone on here?

[He holds the phone on the suit for a moment longer before he's flipping it around to face him again. Deren has his hand up in his hair, resting heavily on it from his somewhat hunched position at his desk. The wall behind him is covered in posters and IKEA style shelving and the room he's in is pretty tiny.]

Also- anyone on here know anything about space and giant robots? I remember a few from when the snake attacked but I have no idea who they are on here and god I have a migraine- just help? [He both looks and sounds exhausted, and a little irritable.]

[It is 3 am. Danny's hair is disheveled, and he is in his freemasonry-symbol pajamas. His face is lit only by the glow of his laptop screen. He looks crazed, and it's not certain whether he actually looks like that, or that's just because of the lighting.]

Oh my god, guys, I just--I figured it out!

So, there were those pink lights in Vegas that we all saw, right? And pink lights mean something's alien-related. So alien-related stuff is showing up in Vegas, which is only like 200 miles from Tonopah Air Force Base, where the real alien testing was done during the Cold War when they were using Area 51 as a decoy!

Guys. This--this can't be a coincidence. Who knows how deep this goes. It might even go beyond the Locke police department, beyond Sherman and even Edwards. This could go as high up as the military--or the secret service, or the president himself!

I don't know what's going to happen next or what it all means just yet, but I know it's connected somehow.

[The text is in pink glitter. The writing is clearly a younger girl's. The "i"s are dotted with little bubbles.]

Hail and well met, everyone! I was wondering if it would be possible for me to get the answers to a few questions! I have heard many rumors from school, but I do not want to believe them until I hear the true story! To do otherwise would be rude!
-Is it true that the giant robots which were used in the battle last month must eat cars for energy? Is it true that the cars are actually sentient and it is a case of robotic cannibalism? (That seems so cruel 8C!)

-Are those with super powers actually aliens themselves fighting an intergalactic war after the destruction of their home planet and you've actually come here to protect our planet from invaders, asking nothing in return? (If that is the case then I am sure you will find that this world will welcome you if you'd like to settle down!)

-Are you actually the product of radiation experiments in after school detentions? (I have never been to after school detention is it really so bad?)

-Can you get powers or strange memories by being bitten by someone who has powers? (I do not remember being bitten by anyone!)

-I've heard that there are people who became angels! Is this true?

-And animals who can talk!

-Is everyone who has found that they can access this network actually a clone of their original selves replaced by the government in order to combat the looming alien threat?? (I do not personally believe that one, but I would like to get confirmation.)
As you can see there are many different origin stories and I just want to make sure I get it right, so as not to offend anyone. Thank you for your time, everyone. ♥

[The video flickers on to a close shot of a dark-haired woman's face. It's possibly you might have seen her face before, on the ad at the bus stop, or model that new dress in a magazine. She usually appears to exude pure confidence in her photographs, but right now, she doesn't look confident in the least.

If anything, she appears to be a bit apprehensive.]

I don't know if this is the right place for this. [She runs a hand through her long, black hair.] I'm not even sure if all this is real.

[Her thoughts flicker to the newly-formed scar on her chest. She shakes her head, as if to dismiss the thought entirely.] What am I saying? It had to be real!

[She forces her lips to curl up into a small, tight-lipped smile.]

I'm Misato Katsuragi. I don't remember any of my past life, but I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to tell me more. If that name or this face mean anything to you, I'd like you to call me. My number's 555-736-7360.

[Her smile widens now. It's certainly more genuine than the smile a few minutes before -- and relaxed, too.]

Hope to hear from you soon!

[You know Anais is going to keep this short and to the point. She's taking a video with her new phone. The video is of a four-winged green bird the size of a house that happens to be sitting on top of Anais' apartment building. After a moment, it leans it's head down to peer at her.

She takes a step back before rushing inside the building and turning the video to herself. She is absolutely horrified.]

What do giant birds eat? Do you think it's carnivorous? What if it eats people?! Where am I even going to put it?! It talked in my echoes but it's not talking now!

It's supposed to be a robot, I can't take care of something this big!

[And it's big. You can see all five feet of Fuu down at the bottom next to the text.]

[ Melati has been thinking very hard and very long about this, searching through the network posts and the associated FAQs until she believes she's got all of the relevant data down. (She closed Paul Ben's entry about two seconds before his death. That was all she needed, thank you.) She still isn't quite sure if she believes it all, but she's very sure that the facts point towards some sort of supernatural conspiracy, and anything unproven from there will simply have to be proven in time. Time that she's giving to the network really reluctantly, to be honest. She is completely unhappy about being associated with alleged terrorists, and would revoke her membership entirely on those grounds if the FAQ hadn't specifically stated that the bombings weren't the Network's fault. She doesn't quite trust it on the word of a bunch of strangers alone, but her perception of her last year in Locke have been completely flipped on its head, and she's going to need some time to adapt. She's decided to keep an open mind.

There is one matter that can't wait, though. She's sitting at a table in a private room of the university library, drumming her nails against the keys of her keyboard. She knows what she wants, and she's very determined to get it. ]

So. Robots. [ ... She is doing her best not to sound too interested, okay. ] The people who were piloting those giant robots are on this network, right? Would any of you happen to have detailed schematics for your machine? Could I convince any of you to let me borrow those schematics? [ ... ] I want to see the robots. That's what I'm getting at here. It's for my thesis, I just want to... The joints! [ She's getting aaagitated. And excited! ] How are they taking the stress? What kind of energy is being used here? Not even the most sophisticated of modern pneumatics can handle the strain those joints would taking, not at this level of gravity. I've done the math. Your robots are impossible, and I need to see them right away.

[ She takes a deep breath. Calm yourself, Narsurya! ]

So. Um. Haha. If I haven't scared you away, let's talk shop! I want to know as much as I can about the robots and other mechanical phenomena on the network. Thanks in advance for your time and trouble.

So first off, I guess I should say I'm okay. Sorry for not saying so earlier, I was kinda dealing with some stuff. My parents are going nuts with everything that's happened, I've been trying to keep up so I could figure out what's been going on with their theories. Here's what Unlocke The Truth has been saying lately:
( i tried to make them as short as i could, i really did )
Also, I didn't check in earlier because I wasn't really sure I was 'okay' for a few days. I don't really know how to explain this...

[He switches to video.]

Okay, remember how I found out I'm dead a few months ago? Well, uhhh...surprise? Turns out, I'm actually something else. [He backs up a bit so that there's a wider view of him in all his white-haired, spandexed glory. Not for long, though, because a couple of flashing lights and sparkles later, Danny is looking as normal as he ever did before the network. His hair is black, his eyes are blue, he isn't glowing, and the spandex is nowhere to be seen.]

Apparently, I'm only half-ghost, whatever that means.

What do you think the percentage chance is that some of us are going to wind up in government basements getting experimented on?

I really want to know, I have to place my bets here and decide if I'm going to tell my mom about all this.

[There is one other thing she has to do though, and it's very important.

Very, very important.]

theearth

Who: OPEN.
When: March 9th, Sunday, daylight hours.
Where: The business district of Locke City.
What: An enormous snake monster is pissed.
Warnings: Violence.

[The alien explodes silently - but it explodes.

First in a small cloud of hot (rose-scented) gas - those there to watch its final moments will want to step back.

A ripple in the air pulses - heavily - from where it once was, with absolutely no sound and color, but penetrating force. Anyone standing within two miles of the point of origin will feel a push, with those closest guaranteed to be knocked off their feet and temporarily dazed. Cars swerve and crash. Staff in the nearest office buildings launch into disarray. There’s no shielding from the blast - it can be felt through walls, through structures, in the air, and underground.

And it is felt underground.

The entire business district starts to shake, abruptly, jarred to a stir by some movement. It rises over the span of a long half-a-minute to the magnitude of December’s earthquake.

Tuning Towers experiences the worst of it - windows are smashing and objects are shaking loose and falling from the upper floors.

It finally ends - with screaming - as the head of an enormous pink snake breaks the lobby floor.

It flows its way quickly out of the hole it’s made, breaks itself another hole ever so politely through the main entrance doors, which were not meant to accommodate a twenty-foot-tall-and-wide exitor, and as it draws the last of its tail out after it, the quaking dies down.

It’s now roaring its way through the streets of Locke City’s business district - all several hundred meters of Wise Snake, emerged in the flesh (or stone?).

No regard for the walls of buildings, streetlamps, civilians, stopped and blindly pulled-over vehicles, anything else on its course - in a frantically-awakened, unrestricted rampage.]

[ OOC: This is part two of the Season 1's finale. The first - the assault on the farmhouse - is here; pertinent plot posts one and two. ]

labrador

[ The man shown on the feed looks anxious and rather frazzled; while he holds his phone in one hand fairly steadily, the other can’t seem to stop messing with his hair, his fingers smoothing through it as though it will somehow help. It doesn’t. Keith can’t understand just what it is that’s happened in regards to this strange network; this is the only way he can think of to find out. ]

Ah, hello! I realise that you all likely have to put up with a lot of confused messages such as this. I apologise for adding to them. But, you see… I arrived in Locke City a few weeks ago, and have just started out as a police officer. But as I'm sure you can understand, things are rather…

[ Just before he gets to finish that sentence, he’s interrupted by a rather large golden labrador jumping up into his lap, and suddenly Keith drops the phone so that he can deal with the sudden addition to this broadcast. Eventually he speaks again, though his phone is now face down on the floor. ]

S-steady, John, steady!

[ A few seconds longer and a rather loud bark later: ] What I meant to say is that if someone could explain this current state of affairs to me, as well, I would be in your debt. I've never seen anything like this before.

Despite my confusion over this network and suddenly being able to connect in this kind of way, please allow me to help you, as well! I will do my best to serve you all in any way that I can. After all, as a police officer, it is my duty to assist the people of Locke City!

[ And perhaps someone can dispel him of some of his oblivious enthusiasm...? ]

pheromonecoffee

[Attached is a photo of something that looks remarkably like a gun. No, Matt has not become the proudest new member of the NRA.

He's freaking out a little bit because he has officially had the most fucked up day of his life a little over a week ago. He has never felt more pain in real life or in a memory than when that monster ripped through his persona. And he's not sure it won't happen to him now if he tries to use one again. And that thing... was inside his head? Waiting to break out again? This is not what he asked for. But no one's getting that, right? So he keeps up the deadpan humor and sarcastic attitude because he has nothing else to fall back on.]

Heads up. So there's a monster summoning system that requires you to shoot yourself in the head. The same summoning system knocks you out for a week after you use it. So don't try it at home. Also, apparently I am a harp-playing robot if the "Thou art I and I am thou" thing is to be believed.

If we ever have awards, I at least want a nomination for "most unnecessary side effects to a power."

ETA: Please don't actually shoot yourself in the face. At all.

~~This is seriously fucked up.~~

Private text to Phillip

The monsters you summon--they're called Shadows.

[OOC; And trigger warning that Matt is explicitly mentioning that this summoning is p much faking suicide in at least one thread so be careful of that.]

It's not indicative of anything if one of us loses their echoes for a while and gains their knowledge back, right? Would that put one in greater danger of losing echoes permanently? It's a frightening uncertainty to face. I don't want to be in the dark again. I want to fight alongside you all if fate calls on me.

Admittedly, it was quite nice to spend a few weeks doing schoolwork and playing piano without any of these pressures on my mind, but I'm glad to be back all the same.

phoenix_temple

[Anais is sitting in a computer chair with classic movie posters all in the background--she's in her room and spinning something in her hands.] Okay so I have a question that doesn't matter at all. But I've been thinking about it a lot because I'm starting to worry.

Has anybody gotten into a situation where their best friend or significant other or spouse or whatever was someone they really, really hated in their past life? Or is anybody total enemies with someone in real life who was their best friend in their memories?

[And then she lifts what she's spinning and it happens to be a sword so huge that when she backs up from the camera she is still not able to get the whole thing in the frame.]

And does anyone know how to maintain giant swords? Or how to make them so they won't cut up the carpet in your closet?

neopianangst

When people just randomly forget about this stuff...sometimes they remember again later and sometimes they don't, right?

Has anyone paid attention to how many of them haven't remembered again yet? Or...I don't know, noticed any pattern in who forgets or in who remembers again and who doesn't?

...I really haven't concerned myself with that kind of thing until now, truthfully. Sorry.

gogoghostpowers

Okay, so. Two things. First...was anyone making any plans to go back to the rock under the Tuning Towers? Because I don't think that's a really good idea right now, given what happened the last time people tried going down there...and also because of this post. It might be better to play it safe right now with that.

Second...I want to try and see how many people I can make intangible at once. I know I can handle at least three, but I think it would be good to find my upper limit on that. And I can't really ask just anyone to help me with this, since this isn't exactly like my math homework or anything, so...does anyone want to help me out with this?

I can try and get free cookies or something for anyone who volunteers too, if that helps.

((OOC: Also, as a note! If anyone wants to get accidentally possessed by Danny, feel free to sign up as a volunteer and let me know, because I am definitely open to shoehorning another possession into this!))

The holidays are a time for giving. It is with this in mind that I urge all of you to set aside a few dollars in the name of Wikipedia.org. Wikipedia.org is the fifth most visited website on the internet, and relies almost solely upon donations to fund itself and keep itself running. We on the network know the importance of a safe place in which we can share vital information to those who would otherwise be vulnerable without it. Every few months, Wikipedia is put in danger of having to start giving in to advertising in order to pay their bills. Just as you wouldn't want to cover a beautiful public park in litter and muck, Wikipedia needs to stay a clean, safe place focused solely on spreading free knowledge to anyone who seeks it.

Donations can be made here, ranging from a minimum of three U.S dollars, to the limits of your generosity.

If you have any questions about donating I'll answer them to the best of my ability. Thank you for your time.

Before any of you do-gooders get in my face, I know attempting to induce echoes is risky already. But if I or any of my friends have super powers or special weapons, I'd like to have them before more monsters show up.

I know a few of you remember similar things to I do. I.E: Piloting a gigantic robot. The arcade has a mech simulator with a full cockpit rig. Might be able to remind you of something, maybe not. Same goes for any lightgun games, racing sims...

There are a lot of things that can draw a similarity.

Food for thought.

You're all coming with.

[Action; A, private for Shinji, Kaworu, Asuka]

[Rei is waiting around for the others to get there. She had gone straight from the library, thus she and Shinji were separate for once. She sits out in the lobby of the arcade, waiting for the others to show up before she tries anything.]

[Action; B]

[Rei is sitting in the mech sim at the arcade, but she isn't playing the game. She's just kind of feeling out the controls, and shifting around in the pretend cockpit. You might have also seen her playing it earlier in the night, so why is she still there? Go yell at her to get off and let someone else try, maybe?]

Look, I don't know what's going on here, and frankly, I don't want to know either. If I hadn't caught this stupid headgame off of Anthony, I am sure I'd be fine, but no he got his crazy germs on me and now I can't sleep because there is a scene out of a bad romcom playing in my head and I have headaches from repeating numbers that shouldn't mean anything. I am trying to keep my nose out of things and this isn't helping.

I know life-threatening circumstances can bring about repressed memories and that's all my sister has been saying all day, but that isn't what's going on here, and someone has to be messing with me. So I'd appreciate it if someone would tell me what is going on and how to get this to go away before I start feeling like I'm really insane and my mom carts me off to a nuthouse.

anequal

so.

when the doctor checked my head all he said i had was a concussion. last time i checked concussions didn't come with weird dreams/hallucinations/visions/whatever of giant naked ladies chasing you and i definitely didn't know this number before i woke up.

it's either i'm totally crazy now or they gave me the wrong medicine or i'm not actually imagining there's some kind of weird underground society that i'm suddenly part of? is this for real?

[action; Locke City University Hospital]

[This post is made from a hospital room, where one Anthony Albert is lying on a bed with his phone, typing away and scrolling through the network he just discovered. Around his head is some bandages and he's got some bandaids and other small scrapes on his face and hands from his light accident with a bad driver earlier.

This is nuts. He's also bored. The boy tosses his phone down on the mattress after a few minutes and rolls onto his side with a loud sigh.]

I'm definitely going insane.

gogoghostpowers

Okay, sooo...here's an update, I guess? Uh, a few days ago we went on a trip down under the Tuning Towers. We didn't really find much in the sewers around there or anything, but we did find something a long way under the towers. It's like a mile underground just...buried in the dirt.

It's this...big pink rock--but it's also moving too, somehow. Just on its own. The buzzing is also really loud right next to it, like it's actually painful to be next to it, so.

We still don't know anything about what's in the Towers. But uh...we might have finally found where the buzzing is coming from.

hey kylie this is ur new number right?

[She usually doesn't escalate to swearing this quickly, though, and anyone who's any good at reading facial features will notice that she's got the intensely fragile look of a rabbit who just realized it was staring at a snake around her eyes.]

Forgetting when you didn't even leave the city. It's not fair. It's really not fair! I did everything right, and I still got hit with whatever it is that makes us go normal again.

Also fucked up: remembering when you're right in the middle of watching a news report about some cops getting shot and knowing it had something to do with this place. Did someone get busted? What happened, anyway? I know someone here knows.

[She sighs, then grits her teeth.]

The most fucked-up part is that while I forgot I made plans for going home Thanksgiving and Christmas and now I need a way to get out of them! I can't leave, what if something happens while I'm gone again!? What if all this national-news bullshit convinces my parents to keep me out of town?
