[It's fairly dark when the video feed turns on, but Micah's face can still be clearly seen from the close-up angle of the camera on his phone, illuminated by incidental light from the street. He doesn't look especially happy, but - well, he never does, does he.

Micah glances up from the camera, mouth pressed into a thin line, then the view from the feed flips up and over to reveal a howling greyscale wolfman in tattered clothing bounding down the street a ways off in the distance.]

In case anyone was wondering, it's not special effects.

Or A Network Option If You're Not Into Pizza
[The video comes up on a road in the middle of the unending wastelands of the Western USA. Off in the distance is a military vehicle, probably a checkpoint. The video holds on this image for a little while before somebody speaks from offscreen.]

Okay, see that? I just passed by there and found one of General Miller's Finest sleeping on the job so I'm gonna do my civic duty and wake him the hell up. Watch this.

[The device recording is set down and fiddled with, leaning against something, a rock or whatever, and then the grass around it is ruffled by a gust of wind breaking the still air. Several seconds tick by, holding on the parked vehicle.... and then suddenly a bolt of yellow lightning tears by it at an incredible speed and the car is visibly jostled by the force of its passing. The driver's side door opens up and a soldier immediately stumbles out, tripping all over himself and coughing in the dust cloud.

There's now a yellow lightning bolt spraypainted on the side of his truck.]

Holy crap! [The voice is back, almost at the same time as anybody watching can register that the camera's been picked up and is moving... just stupidly fast if the blur of the background is any indication. The young man holding it looks back over his shoulder before turning to the screen laughing.] Oh, man, that guy looks pissed!

[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?

[[OOC: Leaving this fairly open for anyone to react to and have their own threads/etc. of what's happening.

Have fun dealing with those fires and rampaging demon, guys!]]

Even for Benjamin Factor, arranging this charity event had been something of a challenge. Just as he held great influence in Gateway City, Thunder Corp's influence in Locke was great as well. But with time and money, all things were indeed possible in this case, and the Memorial Dance Hall was playing host to the night's events. It was a glamorous affair: politicians, captains of business, dignitaries, and celebrities had been invited. For whatever controversy that existed, the world legitimately wanted to heal the wounds left by the invasion, and that meant there were a lot of people who wanted to use events like this to either advance that cause, or to make themselves look good.

But they weren't the only sorts of individuals who had recieved an invitation.

Benjamin Factor had also made it so the Numbered would be invited to his little party. Arrivals through the teleporter would be greeted by drivers at the community center, and the same courtesy was extended to anyone who might live in Locke. The only stipulation? Was that anyone who came make an effort to make themselves presentable. If that was a problem, or anyone arrived without knowing, they had clothes on hand for people to change into.

Indeed, it seemed that the Numbered would be well provided for tonight. That being said, their presence would get people to talk, given the presence of news crews making live coverage. Nevertheless... "getting people to talk" seemed to be exactly what Benjamin Factor wanted to happen.

[Action]
[She paused at the sight. There were familiar yellow cat-like things wandering around looking very confused. When they saw her, they froze up. She realized why just as some of them began to flee.]

Wait! I'm not Moge-ko! I'm nothing like her!

[That caused some to pause and give her confused looks. And then she caught up and they tensed up as she began to speak...]

[Video]
Is there a "My past life was a terrible person" club? Because I think I'd be a good candidate for one.

Also, Mogekos suck. They're horrible. They look like those. [And she uploads a picture of one of the yellow cat-things.] Except that those ones here're okay. I've talked with them. [And they'd been afraid of her because she looked like that horrible Moge-ko. It'd taken some effort to calm them down a bit, but they'd still been wary of her.] They're Defect Mogekos which means that they aren't like the rest and they get killed for it. I don't know how they showed up here and they don't know either. This must be one of those weird things like the dinosaurs.

Um, they aren't very bright, I don't think, but could someone give them jobs or something? They'll starve without it and I already asked my dad and he said no to feeding all of them and that they should get jobs if they're smart enough to talk. And he won't give them jobs either.

[How unfair! Cute things like those shouldn't have to suffer! Well, at least the not-terrible ones. The terrible ones deserve it.]

[Defect Mogeko encounters]
[Defect Mogekos can be seen wandering around Gateway City now. Your character might run into them.]

[Molly is sitting in her room. She knows her aunt is asleep right now in her room, so now is a good enough time for it. She's also factoring in the advice Lily and Winter gave her: Don't reveal too much about yourself. The Network was apparently dangerous right now, so she had to feel this out yet.

Still... she knew she had to take this first step. Taking a deep breath, she flipped open her phone, and keyed in the numbers...]

Ah...! Hello, everyone! My name is Molly! [following Lily's advice, she forgoes her full name.] I guess you could say I'm a new face! I've been wondering about how to introduce myself, so... here I am!

I-I want to get to know other Numbered, and... maybe get some idea of what everything's like and what I have to expect! I know being a Numbered is really tough, but... I've seen and heard about all the amazing things you've done! I think you're all amazing!

Who: Invitation only, PM for details
What: Raye and Rakka's mutual birthday party, or "Jasmine sure does have a thing about throwing surprise parties for friends, huh?
Where: Shepherd's Haven, the rec building
When: Early to late evening, October 3rd

( If Raye wasn't going to take her birthday seriously, Jasmine was going to make sure of it herself. )

[ooc - If you want your character to be here, PM Jasmine's account. She's the one handling invitations.]

officiallymortified

Hello. It seems that new people generally introduce themselves here first, so my name is Dima. I've been having what you seem to call "echoes" for several months now, but I did not know the echoes could do things other than give you powers.

[Insert an image of these.]

Does anyone know anything about these? I felt the echo, and these suddenly appeared. Is this normal? What do they even do?

numberedshepherd

[It's getting easier to tell Ryuzaki and Lazarus apart; the latter looks significantly thinner and more unhealthy than the former, and instead of breaking into easy smirks, his face is placid and serious. The two share a Number, but little else.]

Regarding recent events, Saretha has given these aspects thought and is asking you to do the same. Please pay attention to what she has to say, whether or not you've missed these events in real time. It's all important.

I'm one of the people who was contacted by the informant from Thunder Corp, and I know of some others, but there's a question I'm very interested in at this time. I want to know if anyone was both contacted by this informant and approached by a representative from the company, and if there are any Numbered currently active on the Network who experienced neither of these things.

If you're not comfortable sharing this information on the Network, especially considering that I have a particularly destructive and untrustworthy doppelganger who can see even my private network messages and just took a job with someone I have a very bad feeling about, I can meet with you in person to discuss this regardless of your location, or speak with you on a private line. If you've agreed to help Thunder Corp, I'm not not here to judge harshly... at this point, I just want the data I've specified, and your answer one way or the other is something you're welcome to keep to yourself.

To reiterate: Were you contacted by Thunder Corp's rogue informant, or a recruiter? Were you contacted by both? Were you contacted by neither?

[When the video starts Misa is leaning forward, looking at herself in a mirror (turned camera by the network). Behind her are white tiles and her hands are resting against a sink; all the trappings of a typical bathroom.]

Phew… talk about nerve wracking… But it’s going really well, I just need to keep it up.

[She seems calm enough, then suddenly her eyes widen and she brings her arms up as if to defend herself.]

AHH-

[Her scream abruptly cuts off. Staring ahead, her hands come to rest against something invisible in front of her shoulders. A minute or so passes like this with Misa utterly mute, sweating and terrified but unmoving. Finally she frantically starts patting one hand against the air and then falls to her knees, gasping for breath.]

What are you? [Breathing heavily, she uses the sink to steady herself and hoists herself back onto her feet.] I can tell you’re not a stalker, but you don’t seem human at all…

( The Memory Itself )

Celine blinked, having bumped into a wall, stumbling a short ways. She turned looked quickly around the room, to the concerned faces of her co-workers, her own pale as a sheet. The break room? She steadied herself, looking around once more. So... It was an echo then... She let out a long sigh, shoulders relaxing. It took some prodding but Celine returned home early, still somewhat shaken, her entire body aching faintly. It had all seemed so real.

[Video: Open to All]

Celine was sitting on the edge of her bed, looking tired and rubbing one of her temples. "I just had the most bizarrely real echo. It was more like a hallucination. Nothing overly traumatic, fortunately, but it was apparently enough to have me sent home from work early. Considering the activity on the network I'm assuming I'm not the only one...?"

callmeryuzaki

( and the Thunder rolls )

[He appears onscreen wearing a paramedic's uniform, identical to the one Lazarus got back from his memory echo. His surroundings are significantly less seedy than the motel he's reported from in the past; they actually look like they might be luxurious.]

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, it's fall, and that means it's a season for change. With so many people getting job offers and new and exciting opportunities, I've decided to access my generosity again and help you all out with your resumes. I'm just that nice.

Sometimes you just need a little help to figure out what your best and worst qualities are. So, let me help you out~

lovesickkiller

Who: Misa, Cesar, Nux, and Ryuzaki
Where: Devil's Den nightclub in Gateway City
What: Ryuzaki has told Cesar some galling lies, Cesar has made some poor life choices, and now Misa is making the poor life choice to go confront the two of them in a seedy nightclub. And she's pulling Nux into it.
When: August 26, night
Warnings: Violence, possibly allusions to sex and drugs
Status: Closed

Misa does not want to be here. Everything about her expression says that it has been a long, long day, and a depraved looking night club is the last place on earth she wants to be right now. But she likes to think of herself as a good girlfriend, and Lazarus was obviously distraught about what sorts of trouble Cesar might be getting himself into. Misa doesn't like that concern for his ex. Not one bit. But she tries to be a good girlfriend, and there is no way she would let Lazarus do this himself even if he wasn't in such a pitiful state. So here she is making her way into a gross bar full of gross people, with an excited Nux at her heels. He isn't the best bodyguard a girl could hope for, but he is literally the only person with a decent amount of body-mass she knows who could be summoned on short notice. Now she misses Tony.

Beyond being a good girlfriend, Misa very much wants to punch Ryuzaki in the face at least once. Pregnant. He spread the rumor that she was pregnant. Out of wedlock, here, with all the weirdness happening— just thinking about it has her furious all over again, at Ryuzaki for telling the lie and at Cesar for believing it. Not that it's any of his business.

"Stay close," Misa says, raising her voice to be heard over the music. It will no doubt be much worse inside. She hooks her arm around Nux's to ensure they won't get separated, takes a deep breath of marginally clean air, and plunges in.

sparklingscarlet

Who: Blaise and Ryuzaki
Where: Gateway City Park
What: Blaise's Birthday Date
When: September 21
Warnings: Ryuzaki. 'Nuff said.
Status: Closed

Blaise scurries through the streets as he's on his way to the park, the biggest smile he can manage plastered on his face. He's wearing jeans, a navy blue, tank top with an open-chested, white, button up shirt over it, and has a small backpack with him. He's practically dancing on his way to the park; a day to spend with his beloved Ryuzaki!

He shows up at the park, trying to find the best vantage point to wait and watch for Ryuzaki. He decides on the fountain, and stands as high as he can on the bench as his tip toes and balance will allow.

He wonders how Ryuzaki will greet him, now that he's eighteen, and let's a few fantasies play in his head, each with a more joyful look than the last. He ~~probably will~~ might look weird to passerby, but it's the furthest thing from his mind. He's waited nearly a month for this day, and is beyond excited to see what it will bring.

As Ryuzaki approaches, he might find Blaise fighting to keep his balance on the backing of the bench as he tries to get a better look.
