Spam blocker, my ass Not entirely sure I should be posting on a message board that an email with the aura of a Hitchcock film surrounding it sent me to, but I'm kind of afraid of what will happen if I don't. wouldn't be the first What is this all about?

[Filter: And telekinetic Scrabble doesn't?]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

I appreciate that. I'm not sure I really believe any of it still, but you're at least sane.

Yeah. That Little Mermaid guy? He's beginning to damage the calm that I do have left. He could stand to not be a complete dick about this. If it's that important, shouldn't he be worrying about everybody else and less about me?

[Filter: At least then you have to think about word length and scores]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Thanks. I do pride myself on my sanity.

Little Mermaid guy? Omg. Must never tell him I laughed at that. We're not exactly a giant group, everyone is important. But again, he's thinking more about getting what he wants now, rather than the best way to go about getting it. This is sort of his go-to tactic, which almost never works. I wouldn't have given him the time of day if my uncle hadn't told me to give him another chance.

Re: [Filter: True, but you still have to move all those checkers.]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

ugh, what am I doing... This is going to sound stupidpsychoweird, but... could I bother you to call me? Because the computer just... it makes things seem worse. You don't seem to.

[Filter: Ohh checkers. Such a hardship. :p]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Yeah sure. What's the number?

[Filter: Pfft. I thought that initially said 'chickens'.]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[Insert number]

I kind of feel bad for asking this of you. Kind of creeper-like.

But thanks.

[Filter: Why would I be talking about chickens?]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Don't worry about it.

[Phone Call]

[She waits while it rings.]

[Filter: Better question: Why did I 'see' chickens?]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[He clears his throat before he speaks; his voice is slightly hoarse but not unpleasant.]

H-hello?

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

[When he answers, she finally realizes they never exchanged names, so this would be just slightly awkward.]

Hey, uh...New Guy.

Re: [Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[A short chuckle.] It's Sean. I suppose intros would have been useful prior to this. Sorry.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Probably. I'm Pete.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Pete? You're a little high-pitched for a Pete.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

I'm not high-pitched. [She sounds mock offended.] It's short for Petra, but you aren't allowed to call me that.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Ah. [He sounds a bit sheepish.] Sorry. I shouldn't assume. I went to school with a girl named Charlie. So, um... it's nice to meet you, Pete.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too, Sean. So what else can I answer for you?

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Um... [He sighs.] I think part of me just wanted to make sure I wasn't losing my mind. I guess--[A brief pause.] When did you figure out it's real? Because I think I'm looking for a sign and not really finding it.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Well... [She sounds hesitant to say it. But he asked...] Gaia sort of cornered me in a bookstore and shoved the memories down my throat. Until then I was just convinced that everyone was crazy.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[He groans softly, much like one might if they were still unsure.] So, you're telling me this is what I have to wait for unless I get some revelation? Pretty shitty, if you ask me.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

You're having dreams, so you're farther along than I was. It's quite possible that Gaia and her friend won't even bother because of that.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

So... why all this? Does anyone know what the deal actually is? Why everyone's getting memories and pushed together?

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

You sure you're ready to hear this? It's kind of off the wall.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Truth be told, most of what I've heard today has been pretty far off the wall, so... heh. Go for it. [There's a smirk in his voice.] I'll try to believe.

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Well, Gaia and this other god want us to be gods again. But just one group of us. They've got us all in a race to see who can find their power base first -Which has all sorts of logic holes filled with suspicion, but that is a whole different conversation. At the moment though, we're all supposed to work together to defend ourselves from the government and radical religious groups. Cuz those guys don't really like us and want us dead.

So, did I break your brain?

Re: [Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[He pauses as if mulling over, though he sounds amused when he finally does speak.]

It sounds like some gods conspiracy thing on the History Channel. Or the plot to a novel. So... the government knows about this why?

[Phone]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Well, back during the Spring Equinox, all the puerile that were a.d. part of this community got to be their old godly selves. Some decided to be less than discreet. So the government us freaking out about us now. And for the record I was not here for that debacle.

[Phone]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

[Snort] The government freaking out about stuff? You don't say. And I assume it's all governments, not just the US? Little Mermaid guy said that what happened to me in Morocco might not be a fluke, but they can't seriously know about people who don't even know about themselves. [Pause.] Can they?
