[ if one looks at the location of this post, it's from Wood. Kyle's idea of being careful is essentially walking over to another Sector to use one of the cafes. ]

hello?

seriously there's better things to rip off than myspace

[ He's going to treat this as a chatroom until he has reason to do otherwise. ]

is this network the only way to contact people? what happened to telephones? or shining a signal in the sky? [ subtle. very subtle. He buffers it quickly: ] or even messenger pigeons?

[ now to see if anyone takes the hint. Before then, he decides to offer a helpful tidbit: ]

by the way this isn’t a dream or a collective hallucination

It seems to work fine for the moment, but Stark Industries is working on a more effective cell phone.

how soon will that be out?

Re: text;

[the_other_eight]

I can't say. Our current research and development team is rather small and we're lacking in volunteers to test the product for flaws.

I'm sorry to say, but it might not be out for some time.

Shining signals in the sky only attracts a very specific kind of attention.

yeah? they do that, where you're from?

I've seen it happen from time to time. It brings the nocturnal flying population out to play.

I suspect with all the pet birds around here, training a replacement to carrier pigeons shouldn't be too difficult. I suppose the kedan haven't because they all live in one city only.

[imaginate]

you'd think they'd at least have notice boards or something

[trainwrecked]

I suppose they go for face-to-face interaction more. Word of mouth dissemination of information... that kind of thing.

Dude, who still uses MySpace anymore?

exactly!

there's better sites to rip off

[wintershepherd]

or you could talk to people

in person

i'm just full of crazy ideas today

[imaginate]

time consuming

what if there's an emergency and we need to talk to people quickly?

there should be a giant megaphone at least

[thewaythatiam]

It would be more expedient to important communications to have some sort of mobile system. Unfortunately, the kedan do not seem to agree. Sky signals would be more inefficient than messenger pigeons. If there are no clouds, you cannot see the signal.

What data caused you to form that conclusion so concretely? All indicators are indeed that it is real, but there is still at least a 15-17% chance that it is not real in some way.

[imaginate]

yeah it would - sounds like somebody's already working on it

the sky signals was a joke but i guess we could train some pigeons as plan b

let's just say i have a lot of experience waking up from dreams

What is 'myspace'?

you're better off not knowing

[alpha_squad_leader]

hi.

yeah, this looks like the only way to get in touch with people other than tracking them down and talking to them face to face.

you're welcome to shine a signal or track down a bird to train if you want though.

yeah it seems that way

[text]

[imaginate]

somebody's already working on cell phones but the way this is going i might just resort to training a couple of birds

How is this your space?

[demon_brat]

And how, exactly, can you be sure that is not a dream, a collective hallucination, or another construct that has trapped minds, but not bodies?

[This reply's location tracks to WA-1A, in fact, the suite of one 'Clark Kent.' (Hi, neighbor.) His wife isn't trying to hide it, or her causal hi-jacking of his console.

Hey, it's more subtle than (probably) asking about the Bat-signal.]

Signals in the sky? Seems a little extreme, just to get someone's attention. I've found calling generally does the trick.

[And now to see how he'll take that. 'Calling' usually means 'telephone,' not super-hearing, but if he's from her world and recognizes one of their names...]

[Kyle's not good with these consoles so he doesn't know how to check where this reply is coming from, but at least he may have found somebody else from their world - which was the whole point of his original message, he supposes.

Huh. Doesn't sound like a Bat... who else was here? Supers. Kon and Kara he'd already met, which left... welp]

yeah? not all of us are faster than speeding bullets
