Don't pet them, grab them! [Mingle]
Date: 25th of July
Characters: Open!
I.
In the afternoon on the 25th, a network message alerts the Numbered to the fact that the petting zoo in Moss Manor's Menagerie is facing a major break-out: Someone has torn down the fences, and all the bunnies, sheep, and all the other animals typically found in petting zoos have decided to book it. They are now swarming the manor's grounds.
Due to the staff being nowhere near enough to catch them all, and due to the generally low threat level of the animals that escaped, visitors are asked to help catch them instead of being sent away.
And anyone who just happens to show up and help will be happily welcomed and included in the fort, without any question of who told them that help is needed.
II.
Afterwards, Lady Margaret Camilla Brassant invites everyone onto her patio and offers refreshments - tea, water, little sandwiches, cake and scones with clotted cream and jam. She retires quickly herself, but not before giving a brief speech thanking everyone who helped save the gardens from hungry mouths.

"I was looking up 'large' primes to analyse derivation algorithms and methods." She said large to imply that they weren't actually that big - 20 digits wasn't really anything of significance, but any number in the quintillion range was obviously large as far as most people were concerned.
no subject
"For school, or for fun?"
There is no shame in either answer, Chihiro.
"Either way, it does make sense how you'd manage to land on the Network using that."
And him saying it aloud, even quietly, might give Chihiro some comfort.

"...It was for fun. As much as I'd like to say it was for school."
She couldn't help but give a sigh of relief when Walter spoke about the Network. She knew she wasn't the only one who had the Network or anything, but it still made her feel better to say it out loud. There was something gratifying about it.
"Oh, good - I'm not crazy." She laughed softly. "I'm not senile either." The joke coming from her first Network conversation with Sam. "...Is that how you were asked for help, too?"
no subject
"Math-and-Science geeks unite?"
It was gratifying. Group secrets had that power to them...
"Be kind of worrying if we were of the age to go senile. Think this is a separate source of worry."
But then, Stone had professed that worry during the Boundary-search flight, too.
"And yes, I got the same message. Our warner didn't seem to want to use video or text, though - maybe audio was all he could access?"
no subject
"Us geeks gotta stick together~"
This was a different thing to be worried about. For them all to be connected in some way meant there was something in common, though she had yet to see the similarity from those she'd talked to yet.
"Audio would make sense if he was chasing animals about - certainly it'd be more convenient than trying to do something else when running about. I got here a bit too late to try to figure out who sent out the warning, too. There were already quite a few people here rounding animals up."
no subject
"We didn't hear anyone in the background, though - perhaps he found a quiet place on the property?"
Which did, admittedly, seem unlikely.
"Though, in all the chaos, I doubt anyone would have seen him sneak off."
