[ have you considered buying chairs, luke. ]
I wish-- did you know [ annabeth no ] the original Smithsonian building is made of seneca red sandstone in the faux Norman style, and is nicknamed the Castle? [ annabeth no one cares ] Well, that's why they have to be hallucinations. Maybe everything is. A mass, world-wide hallucination that makes us think chocobos are a thing instead of horses.
[ if the word hallucinations isn't in bold writing on the board she's gonna put it there. ]
... Except we're seeing through the hallucinations, or at least recognizing them for what they are, maybe?

I'd say well enough you didn't have to think about who I was so that counts for something. and that also counts for something since people keep getting weird shit in the mail, but this is the first time I've heard of anybody getting stuff from other people
and I don't know, maybe somebody else got a different note with their cat? I don't know how these people work

[Have you considered your brother's a dumbass, Annabeth?]
...I didn't know that, and I'm not even surprised you know that. I didn't need to know that? [He shakes his head.] I don't know if there's such a force that can exist that tricks everybody into thinking they're seeing things that they aren't. Wouldn't that be something like magic? Since when do you believe in magic?
[He leans back on his hands.] A lot of people around us aren't seeing what we're seeing when this weird shit's going on. But we are. The key here is figuring out what's so special about us.

do you remember ever having a project like that in elementary school? maybe you crafted it.
maybe i shouldn't be advising you to wear strange necklaces because in fairy tales that's how you get cursed. but i say if you like it, wear it - the reason it was sent to you might become clearer if you do.
An internship at the best company around?
One run by like, my hero?
[Let's see how long it takes her to realize he's not Yukiko...]

[ no, because she loves luke and thinks he's great. ]
No. [ said forcefully. magic is Fake. ] Obviously not. It must be scientific or something. Solar flares or radiation, bacteria in the water...
[ she writes all that down to stick somewhere on the board, color-coded as "theories". ] You're right. If we figure that out, the rest will fall into place. I hope, anyway. So, we need to find the commonalities in us and the others. It could be a gene, or brain waves, I don't know.

the worst that can happen is I lose my voice like that mermaid from that movie, but I'm pretty sure this wasn't given to me by a sea witch. we're clear
I'll try it out, see if I remember anything about it. I'm remembering enough other weird shit that it's possible
so who got glasses?

[At least someone loves him. Of course, when she denies the existence of magic he seems to settle on giving her a very blank stare. He's not sure what to say just yet, an idea unraveling in the back of his head that he doesn't want to think about but now it's there and it's hard to ignore.
Magic. Magic?]
Radiation could come from a phone battery couldn't it? [He doesn't buy it, but he's not going to shoot down her ideas either.] Let's start with the commonalities between you, me, and our friends that we know are experiencing this weird crap. Obviously you and I are related so that's a gene thing. The Strider kids are all experiencing weird memories, too. But why did I start dealing with it before you did? That's the part that's missing. What triggers this into happening?

Experience for college and an 'in' at the company I would love to work at when I graduate?
[She's a little annoyed but not enough to actually check the number yet...]

dave and dirk. you'll see them wearing them around now. retrospec didn't send me anything, but i'm half convinced they're behind what happened anyway if only because these oddities didn't start until they showed up.
I'll keep an eye out, I haven't seen either of them lately. I've been kind of wrapped up with stuff
we're back to the question of "how can an app cause all of this" but if it already had our names and stuff it doesn't surprise me they phished our addresses too
I'm liking this less and less

please be careful luke. let me know if anything else strange happens, alright? maybe i'm worrying too much, but still, if they know where you live...
about that.
[there's at least a five minute delay before she sends over a selfie she took - unsmiling, in the mirror so that Luke can see that where her eyes were an average green, they've shifted to a strange golden green, the irises divided in two circles.]

A girl was home alone and she walked downstairs to go and get some midnight snacks because FUCK YEAH midnight snacks what is even the point of being home along if you don't go get those? Nothing was there, but she made herself a stack of pancakes like two feet high and covered them in whipped cream and chocolate chips and went back upstairs to eat breakfast in bed, basically sending out an engraved invitation to all ants in the universe to come hit her up. At I guess noon she woke up to find a little girl standing at the foot of her bed. The little girl went sis why the fuck did you do this now there's an ant invasion, and then some ants with machine guns bust through the door and started shooting and they had to dive out the window and start their action movie saga. Send this to 3 people or else around noonish you're gonna get attacked by ant alien fuckers, and then what will you do?
Yes it is, of course it
[There's a delay here.]
Oh bloody hell you're not yukiko.
