[Xander was in the middle of recording his day before he uttered a set of numbers that connected him to the network. He was unaware that he was connected and continued talking as if it was just him and his cat.]

I don't know how these two things are connected. There's a possibility that it could be a date or perhaps some sort of code. There was this word... 'sand raft'. I have no idea what it could mean, aside from guessing that it's an anagram for something. If only I took my code breaking skills more seriously. [He laughs, joking about his previous statement.] As much as I'd like to take my time and figure it out, I have several more pressing matters to attend to. Like finding a job.

[He's silent for a moment, but the sound of bare feet walking across the floor is picked up. Then there's a faint sound of a cat purring.]

I think Con-- [There's a pause in his words, as if he was catching himself from saying his twin's name. A sad chuckle escapes him as he exhales a breath at the same time. Not too far away, a cat's meow is heard, only to be followed by louder purring.] ...Connor seems to be adjusting well to his new surroundings. Let's just hope I'm able to do the same thing.

[There's another small chuckle from him before he's moving the recording device to turn it off. That is until he notices that something is wrong.]

I find it highly unlikely that this device has the ability to display what I'm seeing right now. I have to go with my gut feeling on this and believe that what I just said is something that none of you should have heard.

[The beginning of this entry is filled with what looks like pieces of lecture notes, a mishmash of engineering calculations and medical facts, mixed in with half explanations and unfinished anecdotes. It's mostly organized, equations on one side and medical concerns on the other, but the overall result is probably still a bit confusing, as Benjamin writes whatever comes to his mind. It's how he's taken to preparing lecture notes for his classes - only this time, he's written down the number that's stuck in his mind and then continued on without realizing it.

Fortunately, it isn't too long before he notices the change in his whiteboard, and then his attention is, quite obviously, very far from lecture preparation.]

This is quite unexpected. And - fascinating. How is this possible? I'm quite certain I would have noticed before now, had my whiteboard been capable of user interface. Did they replace it while I was gone? This would be much more convenient, though there was nothing wrong with the traditional version, I can easily make do with markers and -

No, this is something far different. How many people can read this?

[For once, Bertholdt is outside of his apartment. This is a very strange thing, considering he's always closed up inside away from everyone. Despite his shyness, even shut ins have to get groceries and Bertholdt had decided to take his work with him, stopping to sit in the park before he heads home. It's not too hot out, which means he won't overheat, around five o'clock in the evening. It's getting a little cooler out generally now anyway.]

[He can be seen sitting on a bench in the park with a thick manuscript in his hands, checking through each page slowly. After a while he'll pause in his work to light a cigarette and relax back against the bench. For anyone who's only known Bertholdt over the Network, it might be alarming to find out that he's 6'5". While he's sitting down, it's apparent that he's really tall regardless.]

[He's not a big talker, but maybe he'll appreciate some company?]

Music theory is the dumbest class. I only keep showing up for the hot music majors honestly. Although "Asian dude with bleached hair" has gotten a lot less exotic-seeming since I got on this network. Seriously is everyone on here from Japantown? Anyway I'm bored and this network doesn't require a wifi connection. ... *sigh* This is so stupid. I'd rather be playing violin. Or electrocuting something for science. Physics is the best. Although with all the weird crap that's going on here I'm thinking of taking more biology classes if I can fit them in. I got my first pulse echo whatever on a bio lab trip, so maybe if I go on more that'll happen again. ... Is anyone else on this thing this morning?

[ About half an hour after his conversation with Roxy, DJ tries inputting the string of numbers in a text document on his computer. Wonder of wonders, it works again. Intriguing. He looks around for a while before typing anything, but after a while... ]

I tried converting it to binary, octal, hex, decoding it from any system that even remotely made sense, switching the digits around, inverting it, multiplying it by 42, you fucking name it, and in the end this string haunting my every waking thought turns out to be a god damn public key for a secret message board hidden in my plate of mashed potatoes? I'm just glad this works on my computer, too. Can't go around writing in my food whenever I want to chat.

I must be going crazy. There's no other explanation.

Anyway. I went through some of the archives and found what appears to be a writeup for newbie forum-goers. Extremely helpful, would read again. Looks like a whole lot of shit's been going down for a few months now and I just happened to stumble ass-first into what outsiders must assume is some increasingly bizarre LARP campaign. But I think I've got the gist of it. People who aren't part of whatever this is can't see the forum, people have been experiencing weird memory alterations and physical changes, and animals are mutating and maybe trying to kill people. Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Also -- Roxy, nice timing on the fake hacking attempt. It was really cute.

[Thad was originally just scribbling a bunch of notes onto a piece of paper. He's just gotten back into Locke City and of course, like every time, those numbers are back, tormenting him at the edge of his mind. So, this time he sits down and writes them out, and went on to write a bunch of notes about Babylonian Numerology or some such- but then the network happens.]

[And he about jumps clean out his seat. There are probably still some half written notes left on the page and it's several minutes before he comes back. When he does, there is a bit more writing.]

What the hell is all this? Either my notebook is possessed by the computer or that milk was a little more sour than i thought.

Good lord im going mad. Can anybody read this?

[ the video is fixed on what seems to be a backyard, although it's rather -- unique. for one, there are a lot of feeders hanging from the trees, and plenty of squirrels and birds around eating at them. for another, there is a chicken coop, although its residents are happily wandering outside of it for the time being. there's also what appears to be a vegetable garden in the far corner.

when he begins to talk from behind his laptop, he speaks asfastasever -- perhaps even a little quicker than usual? -- and it might be difficult at times to make out certain words. ]

Well... I thought perhaps the water was making me hallucinate at first, but I don't think that's the case. I can understand them... the animals, I mean. I think they can understand me too, but it's hard to tell. The chickens are easiest to talk to, but I think that's because I've raised them here for so long. Squirrels make for more interesting conversational partners, though.

[ ... ]

Does anybody have a housepet that I could try talking to for a few moments?

I'd just like to confirm that this really isn't... a hallucination, or something.

[The video it that of a web cam, decent quality since it's one of Riku's but it's showing nothing but a wall and the shadow of a boy. Then finally a tired but annoyed sounding voice cuts through the silent.]

What? You playing shy now you fucker? Hee! [He bits back a laugh when it threatens to start back up. As if responding the shadow tilts it's head at the voice.]

No, not like that. [He sighs and walks over to it. Now showing it's his shadow and it's tilting it's head all on it's own.] Go on!

[That shadow is still, then it's head twitches, it's making soft clicking sounds before the whole thing contorts and slithers up the wall.]

I'm not sure what this is... but it just started doing ...stuff... I've heard about people getting strange abilities, but--

[He's cut off when the shadow stretches out and knocks over a whole shelf of books, letting out a shriek and glaring down at the camera with glowing red eyes.]

What the fuck?! ...Those are new... [He backs away from it and turns off the camera.]

This whole water fiasco is ridiculous. Not only did I look absolutely stupid, but if it really is a way to root us out, then we're all in danger. More than before, anyway, until they decide to do something else.

...Has anybody found themselves feeling more hollow lately?

espigeonage

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?

cava

[a voice comes through, clearly being run through a filter.]

Ça va, ça va, ça va?

I've already examined the FAQ, after doing a bit of digging. I would dismiss this all as nonsense, were it not that I attempted using the numbers on a piece of paper. From there, I'm sure you can guess at the result.

Très intéressant.

I'll spare the usual questions, and leave you to whatever it is you hope to accomplish. Frankly, all this talk of heroism hurts to hear! I don't have the time to spare for such nonsense. But, once more, don't mind me. I look forward to seeing how this plays out regardless.

I bid you bonne chance, Numbers Club.

Okay, uh... Wow. [ There's a stunned teen staring straight at you. Well, not at you - at his laptop camera. His hair's disheveled and he's wearing baby blue pajamas, illuminated only by the light from the computer. ] It actually started recording... Uh.. Wow, okay. That was broken before, but, it's definitely not now. I don't really know, how I knew the address - it was in my head, I mean, but maybe I saw it on a billboard or something? Or just, in my head... Well, anyway, wow... Hi.

I was sort of expecting this to be, just a 404 page. Or... grey text, for some reason. That's really weird but, you know, something like that. [ That sounds really crazy. ] It looks like this place has a lot of laughing people, so, that's a plus, I guess?

[ So very, very awkward. He runs a hand through his messy mohawk and scrunches his nose. ]

Wow. I'm really bad at this. There's a reason I stopped doing verbal analysis videos.

mezool

[ azure sounds like any other high school girl on the network, albeit a little weirded out after initial contact. she's got a good head on her shoulders, though, and she's determined to deal with it!

also, her voice sounds a little... wavy? it's not enough to disguise her voice entirely, but the modification is there. ]

Is there a way to get to the FAQ without having to ask someone to link to it or looking for it yourself in other posts? Because, um, duh? Really good idea. If it's already somewhere, I guess I sound stupid, but I couldn't find it on my first shot. Who runs this message board anyway?

I'm using a glass of water here and I don't have an iPhone or computer right now, so if I disappear on you, sorry! I don't know how long a glass of water can hold a connection, you know? I'm gonna try and find one really soon. [ 'cause it's not a great idea to make a video post here, right? the sooner she can switch to text, the better. ]

( cut for length. )

only later does he later connect to the network with video. should anybody wish to respond to the first part, he'll only do so after this video. he doesn't look particularly nervous, but he does speakveryfast -- at times, it might be hard to make out a few of the words. ]

I tried to read as much as I could about what this network is all about beforehand, so I think I understand things, more or less. But I'd like to know, for people who have remembered things -- if you remembered a person, have you ever met that person here in Locke City afterwards? ... Did you feel certain that the memory was yours?

I'm not sure how to phrase this. But what I remembered is something that couldn't possibly be true, yet I felt that it must have been the truth. And I'd like to know if that's normal or not.
