network preamble

[Having come into some fascinating information, Junpei—

obsessively studies it for a solid day

—and then un: junpei posts something very short and simple to the network for once:]

hey, it's junpei. i'm in the 5th floor conference room in the district 2 building by the bowling alley if anybody wants to know some *big names* and read some pages that aren't half blacked out. you know, for fun.

i've got some chips too. come check it out if you want.

log part

[The conference room is all decked out for some frantic information sharing, or rather:

Junpei has hastily set out some snacks, that is: some bags of chips and a few soda bottles, mostly what he could grab as quickly as possible from the nearest convenience store. He's also tossed some pens and notepads kind of randomly onto the table.

On the wheely whiteboard he's pushed up to the end of the room, the head of the conference table, he's written in big ol' letters:

INFO CLUB MEETING
TAKE A DOCUMENT SHARE A DOCUMENT
IDEAS???

DON'T SPREAD IT AROUND TOO MUCH YET, WE MIGHT GET PHANTOM ARRESTED OR WHATEVER

The most orderly thing here is the stack of ✨✨Documents✨✨ up by the whiteboard. These, he has put in the effort to not make a frantic mess of. Welcome to the club.]

OOC: this is a mingle for the ✨plot clue✨ junpei has received and it is open to anyone who might be interested in the information! if you have cr with junpei or have talked to him even once about The Mysteries, you're welcome to handwave that he sent your character a personal cryptic text about something important, come see. otherwise, seeing his network message and showing up is just fine too.

More like... it was nonlinear in the sense that it would reset and 'cycle', and every time it did, we forgot what had just happened and started over from the beginning. We didn't remember that it wasn't the only time we'd done it, but we still sort of changed over time.

[from the netzach who was a bit lazy but still did his work well, to the netzach who became inherently useless.]

But trying to remember it now... I don't know how well I do. Can't really tell when it was the same thing countless times over. The last of those cycles is the only one I remember in full.

I see. [There are unfortunate implications about their own situation with that Alhaitham hasn't totally discarded but he's not about to go down that rabbit hole this conversation.]

In that case, I think counting your lived experience as part of your age would be technically accurate but would give other people the wrong impression about your perceived experience in the world. Is numerical accuracy or social understanding more important for you?

[abstractart]

[yeah! there sure are! the implications have not been lost on netzach either.]

...the latter, I guess. I should probably care about both, but I'm not really a researcher or anything anymore.

Then referring to yourself as over thirty seems to be more accurate to your mental state. [Unless Netzach is hiding some deep inhuman eldritch thinking in there. But Alhaitham's pretty sure he's not deviant from the human norm.] Unlike Kaveh, that doesn't mean much to me. My judgement will always be on a person's actions, and not everyone uses the time they have to the same potential.
