[ hello friends! have a gratuitous selfy via video of one skyler veracruz. he's outside his house somewhere. some... where. ??? it's pretty dark, seeing as how it's basically midnight, and the tan brick wall he's sitting against is lit by a fairly bright pool of cellphone light, but that and the occasional siren in the background are the only real clues to his location. he grins wide and easily into the camera. ]

Hey fuckers. It's my birthday! Or, uh. [ he squints at his phone's clock. the sclera of his brown eyes are tinged red. ] It was my birthday four minutes ago. Too late. Oooh well.

I think I was gonna say a lot of things, but I forgot a lot of them. Lucky for you guys, I wrote down everything that was actually important right. Here. [ he shifts to the side, turning the camera towards a list on the wall, written in green. The flash is washing out some of the words, but skyler soon follows up with a spoken commentary. ] Ok, before the popo ask: I stole a Crayola. I repeat: I stole-a Crayola. That's crayon. It'll wash off. Hell, I'll do it after I'm done here.

First thing: this time last year was the first time I ever got one of these memory pulse things. Someone woke me up from a nap and, I shit you not, when I remember it, I remember my-- th-the person who woke me up looking normal, but then I remember them looking like a different person at the same time. The second girl had red hair. [ he frowns, puzzling through that statement before moving on. ]

There's another thing I remember - it's a castle - but I can't draw worth shit, so I'm moving on to the next thing. This other guy I'm turning into saw a castle on a sheet once! Whoop-dee-doo.

This is the last one. [ he shifts the camera to another area of the wall, and curses once before dimming the overpowering light. there is a star shape on the wall, scribed in yellow and green. his arm reaches forward and adds the words "PAOPU FRUIT" in green crayon underneath it. ] I have no idea what this thing is, but someone threw this at my face. His face. It also turns out that I actually stole two crayons. Christ, I'm a shitbag.

That's it. Those are all of the party favors from my balls-wild 17th birthday party. [ he turns the camera back to himself. the alley is almost completely silent. ] Enjoy your flashbacks, numbers club. I'm out. [ he flashes a deuce at the camera and cuts the feed. ]

[ and if for some godforsaken reason someone actually wants to stumble across a teenager in a random city alleyway in the middle of the night surrounded by paper wads and smelling slightly of cannibis, please feel free. ]

Who: Julien and whoever decided to come with him! See the plot post.
Where: The Locke City Reservoir, maybe an hour's drive west of the city center. It's a fair-sized lake surrounded by forest, with a shoreline that is mostly inclined gravel. It's not suited to canoeing or camping and isn't a recreation site, but the area isn't exactly off limits either.
When: Sunday the 11th! Forwards-dated slightly.
What: Finding the source of the contaminated water.

[Off-focus of the camera, Riku looks tired in a worn tank top with a wide collar, like he hasn't been sleeping well for days. Guess who's gotten a bucketload of bad memories and one too many swigs of tap water. He's been a bit busy right, during, and after the big photoshoot (editing work), so he's been drinking tap water for a bit. Thankfully, though he just goes on mute whenever any unmanly giggling pops up, but it's a very, very short video No promises on his ]

I've... been having a lot of these dreams, lately. Nightmares. Things that feel real but don't make sense. There are other people, now, and... monsters.

Somebody else here said something interesting. What are these memories-- when did they happen? Where did they happen? Is anybody remembering any of the same places or people?

I... need to get out. Anybody doing anything useful tonight can give me a call.

[He rakes a hand through his hair and stands up, ending the feed.]

[OOC: For action, Maybe the streets/park/gym/store, or if you have a suggestion? I'm all ears.]

Okay, so we've established that there's something in the water. No Brooke Fraser jokes please. I can actually see the contamination, or whatever this is. It's kind of shouted down by the fluoride, but if I take some out into the sunlight in a clear glass, there's definitely a different color to it. Sticks around if it's boiled, but it doesn't get concentrated down. Are we a reservoir city or is it something else? I don't know a thing about how this works, but someone's tampered with the water supply for the whole city. Anyone else think it's worth going and finding the source?

ex_purity762

Sometimes I think it's best I check this forum before doing anything else. It looks like other people are being affected by the water too, but does anyone have ideas as to why? If the water supply itself can cause this, there might be something stranger in this city than we have an inkling of.

There were some things I wanted to ask about though, for those who are in a state to answer.

To start with, I appreciate the efforts made to train people in self defense. I'm wondering though, if anyone would mind helping me train a bit more frequently. As it stands, I'm not sure how much good I could do for others, and I would like to improve. I wouldn't mind compensating for time spent, since I see this as tutoring.

I've been thinking about what I can do for people here, in the meantime. And I have a suggestion, so I would appreciate your feedback. I was thinking of setting up some kind of inbox where people could anonymously post about things they're concerned with. That is, things you might not be ready to talk out with others, but need to get out of your head. In my experience, giving those things tangible form is a bit freeing. If anyone feels they would benefit from this, or has a better idea, please let me know.

Thank you for your time.

This is incredible. Both that a network like this exists and that it's used for such juvenile reasons.

Don't worry, I've done my research. That is to say, I've found the 'guide'. My name is Adelle, and I'm a university student. I've attached a picture for your convenience. I apologize it's just a blurry 'selfie'. That's about all you need to know about me for now.

[ despite everything, Adelle is still rather suspicious about all of this. She's willing to allot some information about herself to test the waters, but she's being a bit steely about the nitty gritty. ]

I didn't ask for this, and to be honest, I could have gone my whole life without knowing something as farfetched as this exists. However, it seems this effort needs as much help as it can get, so I'll assist to the best of my abilities. I'd also like to find out more about my 'echoes/pulses'. Just please, don't ask about mine.

[ she's still working her own out, and honestly it was a little.. embarrassing to talk about. ]

I'm.. not completely sure where I'm going with this. This is still very— overwhelming.

How many of you attend Locke U?

[This post comes late in the evening, since after taking a swig of water from her tap-filled water bottle she burst into hysterical laughter and found herself unable to stop. And then... well, she felt the same pulse through her heart that she felt as a child, a story flooding her mind. She tries in vain to sort it out on her own once her laughter dies down, but when she can't she'll turn to the network. And, because this is a story, she'll do it through audio.

There's several seconds of silence before Kairi starts speaking, starting quiet and growing more certain in her words as she goes on.]

"A long time ago, there was peace, and the worlds were filled with light. Everyone loved the light. But eventually people wanted the light for themselves and began to fight for it. Darkness filled their hearts and it spread, swallowing the light and people's hearts with it. It covered everything, and the worlds began to disappear.

Some of the light survived in the hearts of children. Those children used their light to rebuild the worlds. But since the true light was trapped in the darkness, the worlds were kept apart. But one day, the door will open, and the true light will return."

[there's a brief pause.]

I just remembered this story that my grandmother told me when I was little. But... I don't think she ever actually told me this story. Kind of weird, huh? [she laughs, though it's a little weak.] I don't really know why I posted it here. It just... it feels important.

[Private to Maya]

...Does it mean anything to you? I'm kind of wondering if my subconscious pulled it from your books or something! I'd feel kind of silly if I did, but at least it would make sense.

unwakingwaters

[Maya looks... strained.]

If any of you work in a morgue, or in law enforcement, if you'd be so kind as to send me a private message, I'd appreciate a great deal.

... the rest of you, if you have loved ones who are not part of this, I... give them a big hug. Or call them. Write them. They... they're targeting our families, now.

[ she pauses, looking out of a window. In the background, one of her cats jumps on a windowsill.]

Right um, first things first. I think a few of you actually responded to the ad I put out for a photoshoot. If I could have your phone numbers, please, that'd be helpful. Also, if you could all write me up invoices for payment... I can provide templates if you need.

And...

...

Finally, as you can see, I have a very spacious house, lots of rooms. If... if any of you need a place to stay, for whatever reason, my home is open to you. I've cleaned up the spare rooms and even cleared out a few that I was just using for storage... you'll need to take care of chores and help out around the house, that'd be lovely. I think all told if we count what used to be the first floor storage room I've got seven rooms free, and if you all don't mind being room-mates I have room for more. Bathroom space will probably be at a premium though, as there's only three of those...

It's a large, empty house, is what I'm saying. My ex husband wanted a big family. I... did not.

[A grim smile]

But I won that divorce settlement.

... that's all.

[ Someone failed physics badly enough to make summer school a necessity, not an option. Well, whatever. Skyler did what he wanted with his summer, his greatly diminished social circle totally having a huge hand in that, so now he's actually sitting down and doing his homework. Except converting potential energy to kinetic energy makes no sense, so he's since graduated to fucking around and putting down whatever numbers come to mind. And since this is the first time he's actually bothered to do his homework in ages... the numbers one would expect pop up, and suddenly his homework can scroll. ???? Skyler puts pencil to paper to investigate. ]

ok are you kidding me
what is this

no offense to whatever this is but this shit's not gonna work out

this class is pass fail but there's no way i can turn this in now

hey, it's the guy who was offering martial arts training, mamoru

nine pm on wednesdays work for everyone? it's gonna be at st. johns episcopal church -- not the best place I know but there's a decent sized room and some mats and you don't have to pay to get in.

if you wanna learn to fight, or if you wanna help teach, just show up. I'm not going to be taking roll. oh, and wear something comfortable that you can move in.

[[ACTION, forward-dated to Wednesday night]]

[It's not ideal, Mamoru thinks, but it'll do. It's more like a large conference room than anything else, something that the church rents out to groups like this, but the youth groups in the church used it too, sometimes. He has mats down on the floor -- though if you're early you're welcome to help him set up -- and takes a few minutes to stretch before the bulk of the group shows up.]

ooc: probably going to handwave most of the actual training, so if you want to talk to him before the class or jump to after, either way is fine! ALSO, TEACHERS. Feel free to start your own threads! Mamoru's probably going to talk to you about splitting up the students into beginner/intermediate groups, and you're welcome to take on whichever class you want.

Following up on a couple of things. First, I found my cat. I...appreciate the concern.

[Those last words are so incredibly awkward, it's impossible not to notice. And he realizes it, clearing his throat. There's a long pause. After what he saw last night, he really can't deny that weird shit is going down anymore.

Weird, dangerous shit]

Anyhow. What "Ellie" said earlier wasn't wrong. How many of you are capable of self-defense, or any form of combat? It's obvious most of you people [Said with a hint of disdain he simply can't mask] won't step up, but whoever will might appreciate if you can defend yourself. You know, until they can fight your battles for you.

If anyone wants to learn some basics, let me know. It might make a difference if you can hold out long enough.

[He pauses here, because it's a point at which he doesn't feel he has the upper hand, per se. Rather, he has to ask for something. And he hates that]

I'd...also like to know who else is willing to fight, if someone ends up in trouble. It's the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak. Someone has to be there to do something about this... [He grapples with his vocabulary, but there really are no words to adequately describe mutant animals and people becoming monsters] these things.

[Ok, so all Kairi had been trying to do was type in these numbers that have been going through her head for years in another attempt to try and decipher the meaning.

This network thing appearing in her word doc? Yea, that's way new. It takes her a moment before she tentatively starts typing.]

I can honestly say I wasn't really expecting that. I guess everyone on here can see this, huh? I'm kind of looking over things and I'll try to catch up on my own, but it looks like there's a lot here so it might take me a while.

[There's a long pause where she's looking back at entries, trying to start the beginning before remembering she forgot something important.]

My name's Kairi, by the way. It's nice to meet you all.
