[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?

Exactly, I don't want to run into them again if I don't have to.

[She pauses for a second then considers that last bit.]

...Especially if something like that were to happen.

So... Do you hear the other persons thoughts now, or what?

[actingstorm]

No. No, thank God.

[There's a sigh.]

But if one of us gets hurt...the other feels it. Stuff like that.

[That's a mildly disturbing thought.]

Oh... That's the first I've heard about something like that.

That sucks. A lot.

Yeah, especially since the first time we figured it out, I'd gotten sacked on the field. They thought Dad was having a heart attack out in the stands.

[He does not sound happy about that.]

Video

[switch_over]

Wait.

You're connected like that with your dad?

[She doesn't normally feel very sympathetic to other people on the network, but this was just a strange case right here.]

Video

[actingstorm]

Yeah. Of all the people in the world, my dad.

[He's so unhappy about that.]

That is a shitty deal right there.

[There's an exasperated sigh.]

Tell me about it.
