New title unlocked: Good Friends Stick Together.

Did you receive a message from a user known as @ dv awarding you a title? Did they say anything else to you, or did any administrators tell you to stop speaking to them?

Hey, Dehya...

Do you have a moment? I just wanted to talk to you about that...mirror thing.

[A cell phone number with a Berkeley area code is provided.]

Hey. Sorry about this.

Could you let me know if you hear anything back about Morgan or Kabru? I'm concerned his family won't take action. And I have text logs with him from the night before if the police need it.

( On Dehya's RL number, she gets a message left for her from Cithis's phone: )

"Good afternoon, Dehya— you'll have to forgive me for not getting back to you sooner. My week has been... quite the experience. Kabru came to pick up Morgan for their trip last Saturday; he said he found Morgan unconscious in the computer room, and couldn't get him up. He carted Morgan off to a hospital, and the poor thing's been in a coma since.

"Then it turned into a whole reality TV bit— you really should've been there. Morgan's parents had an earful for the doctors, and Kabru ended up getting a little too involved... Then, a few days ago, the eldest brother flew in— because a three-way call just wasn't personal enough, I suppose... ( She laughs, faintly. ) And that isn't really getting into the break-ins, or the earful my superiors have been giving me... Oh, pretend you didn't hear that last bit, would you? ♡

"In any case, Morgan opened his eyes today, and that's been a new wave of familial complications. He woke up at... 12:03 PM, the nurse said. Let's hope he stays up, shall we?

"Ah, look at me, getting sidetracked. It was a little up in the air before he woke up, but, well, now that he is... I called to let you know we'll probably still be needing you— more than before, in fact. My and Kabru's employer may be changing, but it's all technicalities, at this point. I can fill you in on the details later. 'til then, all right?"

Hello. I saw your post and I also received a call from Kabru. Do you think we'd be allowed to visit in person? I have some books he might like to read.

Hello, FlameMane! :-)

How have you been holding up since I saw you in that dungeon?

[ In other words, have any of the glitches gotten to her? ]

Oriade said you missed me? :-)

I didn't want to say this on the forums, with how
people are reacting

but before Mithrun lost too much of himself, he said the Wave might be coming

Losing our memories might be part of that

You said a lot of people would miss me, right? I remember reading the posts on the forums, and I saw the talk of flowers. But I don't remember the flowers. I don't remember almost anything beyond Fragment.

I feel like, based on the things I've written in my messages, or the forums... I haven't forgotten too much that matters. I've met most of the people I care about here. And I accepted the loss, mostly, I guess.

But I feel a lot further away from people now. Even though I've only met most people here in Fragment. It feels like I've lost something fundamentally human; though, I guess it was never mine to begin with...

I still have some friends, I guess. And I'm trying to do the things I would do before, in Fragment. But I feel distinct now. Separate. It's strange. Even when I'm with Barrett I feel kind of alone. And I don't know if there's anyone else like me yet.

It doesn't make much sense, so it's fine if you have nothing to respond with. But I wanted to say it before I lost the words for this, too.

[ This is a survey... Don't mind him. Maybe. ]

how do you feel about zelkova withholding the cure to the sickness that went around until someone asked him for it?
despite how it was a thing everyone was suffering under
being an AI would have helped to see oversee everything in fragment
yet he did nothing
