[The video begins, showing a woman sitting in an office with her back to a window. The sky-line of Gateway City can be seen behind her, facing the west. She stares forward for a few moments before pausing, and adjusting her glasses. For all intents and purposes, this is a new face on the Network.]

Ah, hello everyone. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sonia Clarke, and I'm Benjamin Factor's personal assistant. As I'm sure you are all aware, both Mr. Factor and his company have been supporting the Numbered heavily in this past year. It was therefore decided that there needed to be a direct liaison between all of you and the company.

[She pauses, before adjusting her glasses and continuing.]

Furthermore, we'd also like to personally thank those Numbered who assisted in the recent... incident here in Gateway City. The animals that caused such damage are being cared for, but as you might understand, there are certain struggles in doing so for such bizarre creatures. However, Mr. Factor would like for me to assure you that they have not been mistreated or experimented upon. This has created some friction with the military, but we anticipate that will be resolved before long. Any damages to personal or public property are also being taken care of, as well.

[Sonia pauses for another brief moment, before her eyes widen slightly, and she sighs.]

I suppose I should also address the elephant in the room. Seeing as how I can communicate with you like this, it should go without saying that I'm a Numbered, just like all of you. I want you all to know that you can trust me, and that I do not intend to betray anything I learn here. Mr. Factor and I imagine that this is an area where you've potentially been used or manipulated, and it's for that reason that we intend to be as transparent as possible. We are committed to supporting all of you as much as possible, as we have in this past year.

[She offers a tiny smile, before speaking again.] Now, I would be happy to take any questions. I cannot promise an answer for every single one, but I will make an effort to be clear and concise for the ones in which I can.

[the video starts, and one can see the familiar face of Amy Dylandy come on. She's looking well (though it seems she's gained a slight amount of weight). She smiles, before speaking]

Hello, everyone. It's been a long time, hasn't it? I'm sorry I haven't really been active much these past few months. Things have been extremely busy for me lately.

... I heard about the things that have happened lately. I guess trouble finally started to crop up again, hasn't it? I really did pick a fine time to come back... But, all the same, I guess it's good if we're all aware of things, right?

[she laughs a little bit]

Anyway, I'd really like to catch up with anyone who's interested. And... maybe get to know anyone who's joined the Network recently, as well. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Amy. Amy Dylandy.

Shortly before 10:00 a.m. in Shepherd's Haven, Jacob ties his apron behind his waist and unlocks the doors to officially open shop for the day. Jacob owns a flower shop and sells bouquets for fair, if not cheap, prices.

If any one studies the man behind the counter, they'll be greeted with a friendly smile by a man in his early twenties, silvered hair, and an eye patch.

He's friendly to all and will help you get the perfect bouquet to make that date perfect; show that someone special just how much you care, or even for home accessory reasons. All you have to do is walk in.

"Hey, come on in. Welcome to Dewdrops N' Clovers. How can I help you today?" he says with a warm smile as you come through the door.

Just what's going on? First gross slime then pink snakes [though she'd found the snakes kinda cute] and ghosts, now dinosaurs! I almost died! Speaking of, thanks mysterious speedy masked guy whose name I didn't get, for saving me.

[She suddenly perks up.]

Quick emergency Mina's Fashion Corner tip:

I've seen some people selling clothes with dinosaurs on them. And even a few wearing them. Do not do that. Seriously, it's a total fashion no-no. It's just tacky.

If you really want to go with a dinosaur theme, try wearing dinosaur colors! Besides, green's the in color right now. Loose clothing is also in, but it has to be stylish, okay? You can deviate from the current fashion, but that's not for amateurs. Only the stylish and cute can get away with it.

[Lily greets the Network with a smile and a nod. Though there's a few scratches here and there, she seems to have survived the dinosaur mishap in one piece.]

Hello, everyone. I hope that everybody who ran into the trouble in Gateway is doing alright, or at least hasn't suffered too badly. We seem to have been able to help get those things herded into one place, at least - it would seem Mr. Factor has issued some help in building up more permanent ways to keep them captive, for the time being.

Between that and the other strange things, however... that goop from last month, ghostly apparitions in Shephard's Haven, and... [She taps her chin and frowns just a little.] I saw a report, a sighting in Locke City of... well, snakes. Large, pink stone snakes, like the ones we fought a long time ago.

[She shakes her head.] That seems impossible, though. The giant snake was killed just as long ago...

[Not to mention Proud.]

I wonder... has anyone else seen anything of note? All of this stuff is happening in such close proximity, it's got to be connected in some way, but it's escaping me.

This was going to be a correspondence message for the sake of getting to know each other better and to update records, since there are some new faces.

Unfortunately, I was beaten to it by someone I'm sorry you all had to meet.

My name is Lazarus Lawliet. I like to think that we're easy to tell apart, but in case it's confusing, we have these tattoos...

[He brushes aside his hair, revealing a small tattoo below his ear. It's a green and black seedling design, detailed and delicate.]

He tried to copy it. Himself, I suspect. It's broader and clumsier, which applies to a lot of our differences, actually.

[He brushes his hair forward again, looking and sounding frustrated and embarrassed.]

...please accept my apologies, as well as a warning that engaging him is generally a bad idea. He feeds on conflict and wants you to be uncomfortable, making him... well, my opposite, really. At least, I hope so.

On a more macro note, the ghosts are still present in Shepherd's Haven, and they persist in their track record of causing some pulses but not causing physical harm to anyone. I've heard that the same can't be said for the dinosaur rampage in Gateway City; is everyone, for the most part, all right?

[A new face pops up on the network today. Though she doesn't look or sound incredibly excited. If anything her tone sounds a little bored. She's been poking around the network for a little while now, but she hasn't felt the need to speak up until now.]

Is it common for us to remember things or get abilities similar to what someone else already has? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

[She glances to the side before looking back at the feed and adding in.]

Oh and give yourselves a big pat on the back or whatever for helping with the whole giant lizard situation. Woo. go team, et cetera.

[She probably could have put in a bit more energy to that, but she didn't.]

callmeryuzaki

[Here's a familiar face, to those who have been Numbered for awhile and perhaps even those who haven't.]

Why hello. I've missed your lovely faces.

A lot of you know me already, but I'm Lazarus Lawliet. The real one. That's me.

I'm looking to compile a useful database of relevant information on all of us, something that we can share freely and without outmoded hangups or hesitation. Let's be progressive about it.

If you send me your name, a photograph or other still image from the front and the side, your age, your profession, and your credit card information, I'll repay you by writing you a personalized piece of short fiction, starring you, in the wildly popular theme of dinosaur erotica. You pick the dinosaur, and I'll make the magic happen without shame or fear.

Your dark desires are very interesting to me. Especially yours, C.S. You know who you are.

Celine appeared to be sitting in a chair, nervously fidgeting with a large, heavy pen. She would twirl it through her fingers only to catch at grip it for a moment before twirling it once more. She was only making this video at Emilia's urging, but that didn't mean it wasn't a good idea. It was, in fact, an excellent idea. Especially since even though she fought against the aliens, she hadn't been numbered for very long before the initial attack.

"Hello everyone." Her English was heavily accented but certainly understandable. Mostly French with a touch of German. "I am Celine Blanchefleur. It seems like a lifetime ago since the aliens attacked. And also since I bothered with the network publicly..." She looked a little sheepish but not truly embarrassed. "I am sorry for that."

"Truthfully I've merely been attempting to keep my days peaceful without any of this numbered business, but with the recent going-ons I've been rethinking this. Especially if a larger-scale disaster occurs again. I wish to make sure I am accessible to anyone who may need my assistance." Or make friends. Friends would be good too. "As such I would like to formally introduce myself to any new numbered re-introduce myself to the old."

Action, Shepherd's Haven, Evening | Open

Shepherd's Haven is such an isolated little community that even Nathan doesn't worry so much about being out after dark. It isn't even particularly late; after all, it is winter on this side of the world and darkness descends early. He'd just finishing up a last bit of business for the day. Nothing terribly urgent, but there hadn't been any sense in waiting to do it, either.

He briefly wraps his arms around himself a little when a chilly gust blows over him, biting a bit through his jacket. It's fine, and expected. But the sight that catches his eyes in the next moment is not.

The figure he sees on the path up ahead is not one of any recognizable resident of the village -- and it's such a small community that Nathan would recognize any of them. A young man, not particularly tall, but easily having at least half a foot on Nathan. Chin-length blond hair, a ghastly-looking burn scar over the left half of his face. But that isn't the most disturbing thing about this sight; the young man is distinctly transparent, clearly not solid . . . like a ghost.

Nathan instinctively draws in a sharp breath, more loudly than he means to, and stumbles back against the wall of the nearest building. His stomach drops and he feels the thrum of an Echo goes through him. But he's so fixated on what is in front of him that he does not notice the small object that has appeared in his hand as a result.

Deep breaths, deep breaths, deep breaths. He has to get this under control. In the meantime, he's still got his back pressed to the wall.

Network, August 7 | Voice

[Despite having been terribly frightened last night, Nathan speaks in that soft monotone than anyone who is familiar with him is well-accustomed to by now. It's his normal speaking tone. Whether that means he's recovered from the fear or not . . . is difficult to tell.]

We know the slime was a worldwide phenomenon. [That it has vanished is curious and something to be pondered, but it isn't Nathan's concern right now.] But has anyone outside New Zealand seen any apparitions? For those that have not and may perhaps be wondering: no, it was not my imagination. It triggered an Echo.

Current Mood: anxious

( The things one puts themselves through for the pursuit of science. )

[network - voice]

Hello everyone. Many of you don't know me yet, but my name is Doctor Edwin Weller, and I'm a scientist. I'm pleased to be among you, and I'm hoping we can begin a relationship of mutual cooperation.

I don't know if any of you noticed, but the slime that appeared approximately a week and a half ago seems to have spontaneously disappeared. The samples my assistant and I gathered have all vanished, despite being sealed and stored, and I've been unable to find anymore in the "wild" so-to-speak. It seems that it's all gone.

In light of that, I'd like to share with you all the findings of my study.

First of all, most individuals studying the slime immediately found, and stated, that it's composed of the microbe organism that appeared after the alien invasion. Unfortunately, I cannot take credit for that, and this whole exercise has not brought me any closer to determining their origin.

That being said, I can give perspective on what happens after they come in contact with one of the Numbered. I experimented on two samples, and caused each of them to transform. One triggered an Echo and the other did not. After a certain period of time, the one that didn't trigger an echo reverted back to its gelatinous state, and subsequently disappeared with the rest of my samples.

The item that triggered the echo, however, remains, and has shown no sign of disappearing. My analysis of it shows that it has undergone a complete transmutation, in that it is no longer composed of any microbes and is an object of inorganic matter. It is as if it were never "a ball of slime" to begin with.

Before yester, any echoes that bestowed items possessed by my previous self have caused an item to be spontaneously generated as if out of thin air. I've yet to see something become something else until now. If any of you have experienced such a thing, I'd appreciate it if you could share it with me.

Aside from all of that, I also did a test to see what would happen if the "slime" were blown up. All it did was cause the substance to split, and it showed no signs of damage. That being said, I believe I can bring this little report to a close.

[ The number on the network seems to be the same as a certain Marina Santana that people know - including a few newbies now. It's taken from a low-quality camera phone, and the background seems desolate, and the blue-haired girl the video is looking at has shorter hair than Marina and, quite notably, has both of her eyes intact.

She sighs, and waves at the propped-up camera. ]

So it looks like we're getting new additions to this network for the first time in a while - and from what I've caught looking over the network, it coincides with a new wave of oddities.

[ Not-Marina leans in closer, eyes narrowed. ]

To everyone new, if you notice that I look identical to a certain Marina Santana, there is a good reason for it. Over a year ago, our planet created copies - doppelgangers - clones - what have you, of some of the reincarnations. Mirrored selves... and some of us are still alive. You may call me Umi Ryuuzaki, the name of Marina's past life, because I was in a hurry to be my own person and the name stuck well enough.

[ Yeah Marina, she doesn't really care how you feel about people talking about your past life. Just sayin'. ]

To everyone else, if this trend of strange occurrences continues, you'll be hearing and seeing more of me than you have for the past year or so.

It's... a pleasure. Goodbye. [ Although she'll chat with anyone who wants to.

Hello~ Welcome to Mina's Webcam Hour, the super-exclusive edition for Numbered only! That's right, you can only see this broadcast on the weird network we have! Not only that but this is also a special apology edition! [She holds up a piece of paper with "Sorry for being wrong and blaming the Numbered" on it.]

But you can also tune in to my normal webcam at [She holds up a paper with "www.minawebcam.com" written on it.] and join my loyal fans there! ♪

First, let's have a look at the daily life of Mina. This is a special public service introduction for those of you who haven't seen my webcam before!

When I'm not at school, I like to listen to my music. Let me put some on. [She clicks on her computer and super cutesy pop music begins playing.] This is my favorite! It always cheers me up on a bad day.

[She gets up and begins dancing and singing along. She's decent but not professional quality. Once the song ends, she sits down again.]

Let's look at Mina's room. [And she turns her webcam, panning across an overly pink room with lots of stuffed animals.] Cute, isn't it? It's just the way I love it!

Other than music and collecting stuffed animals, I also like shopping and fashion. [And hurting people, but she isn't going to mention that. She's trying to put on a good face for people here.]

Here's a tip from Mina's Fashion Corner: you can remove slime stains with club soda or washing with lemon juice and cream of tartar if it's really fresh. If it's particularly stubborn, try rubbing alcohol!

Well, I'll be taking audience requests now! Anything you would like to see from me?
