[Anyone who pays any sort of attention to American football is going to recognize the guy who's showing up on the network tonight. He's Ronnie "the Rocket" Stein, star quarterback for the Gateway City Guardians. Judging by the size and angle of the picture, he's accessing the network from a mobile phone.]

So...this is the Numbered network thing, huh? I've looked around a little, can't say I've actually posted to this thing before. It's a little too weird for me, you know? But if it's going to keep getting weirder, if I'm reading this thing right.

[Because he's gone back and looked at things. You people are all strange.]

Not like I've found any answers to my particular brand of weirdness, I gotta say.

[He leans back a little bit.]

Can anyone tell me if it's normal to be getting the same...things...as someone else?

Well, there's a memory we've both got from seemingly identical angles and places and everything...and then we're both running what should probably be the sort of fever that would land you in the hospital but isn't.

Maybe you were just really close together?

[That's his best bet, anyway.]

Or maybe you're twins or something? And you shared powers.

[Blaise... not everything is twins...]

[actingstorm]

I...don't think we're twins. I'm getting this stuff at the same time as my dad.

[Not that he sounds happy about that.]

[Blaise looks thoughtful for a moment as he tries to think what it would be like for his dad to see a magical boy fighting Loveless... It's pretty hard to imagine. It's got to be weird to have that connection. Blaise could have fun with it, but he's not too sure other people would be pleased, and it sounds like this guy is not.]

It's... only been a couple echoes, r-right? Maybe it'll stop soon. Maybe...it's a fluke?

I wish, but...probably not.

[Life. It's hard.]

[Blaise looks a little at a loss. He wishes he had an answer.]

I-I see... Sorry... I'm not in your position s-so I don't know...

[He'll try to make friends anyway.]

Uhm... But, if... if you want anyone to... to talk to... I'm... I'll listen.

Video

[actingstorm]

Oh...uh...sure.

[He's not quite sure what to make of that, but okay, might as well be polite.]

I don't think I'll need it, but the offer's cool.

[sparklingscarlet]

[Blaise nods a little and slowly manages a smile.]

O-okay... Uhm... I'm Blaise... I-it's nice to meet you.

[Typical return of politeness. Giving your name, and things in case they do end up talking again.]

Video

[actingstorm]

I'm Ronnie. Good to meet you, Blaise.

Re: Video

[sparklingscarlet]

[Blaise nods his head a bit. Having the acknowledgement, he feels a bit more up to talking.]

S-so, uhm... y-you're a football pl-player... right?

Video

[actingstorm]

Yeah, that's right! For the Gateway City Guardians.

Re: Video

[sparklingscarlet]

[Blaise actually smiles a bit.]

That's... That's really c-cool. What's it l-like?

[actingstorm]

It's a lot of hard work. You've got to practice all the time, and then you still have to do media conferences and stuff like that, too.

[He laughs.]

But it's still fun, though. I still love the game.
