[Filter: We should play Scrabble]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

That might get a little weird at some point Seriously, nothing. Only one thing on being in the wrong place at the right time...but that could have happened to anybody.

[Filter: Words With Friends?]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

A bit Okay, how about weird flashes of memories, or dreams from a different time? Probably eerily accurate.

[Filter: aka Scrabble (Damn I'm old).]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Dreams. Blips of stuff. Nothing that pieces together or makes any sense.

[Filter: Words with Friends is easier to do long distance. Just saying]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Well you're farther along than I was, when I got drafted, believe it or not.

[Filter: Maybe, but I stopped playing a while ago.]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

But being 'farther along' doesn't necessarily make it easier to understand.

[Filter: So you're thinking telekinetic Scrabble?]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. But a lot of people are chucking information at you from all sides. How about we do this: you ask questions, and I answer them.

[Filter: I would if I could. Epic.]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

Fair enough.

How do I even know any of this is real? Is legit?

[Filter: I would if I could. Epic.]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Until you remember more, the answer is you don't. Not really. You go with your gut. I did. I freaked out big time, but I came back anyway. Every bit of logic in me said it was a bunch of crazy, but my gut said it wasn't.

[Filter: Telekinetic Connect-Four would be fun.]

[shiningone.insanejournal.com]

To be perfectly honest, I have no idea what my gut is telling me. I used to be better.

Thanks for not dumping all this shit on me. I don't know how much of this is in my head, but I'm beginning to wonder if I can make up this many people.

[Filter: That just sounds so lazy.]

[tritonia.insanejournal.com]

Sometimes things take more thought than others. Take your time. No matter what anyone else says. Getting this stuff dumped on you is no fun. I can't stop anyone else from trying to shovel it all down your throat, but I can at least not do it myself.

Also, sorry about Triton. He's... focused as of very lately. You aren't the only one he's pushing. There was another guy that showed up right before you. He did the same thing there.

[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.
