It's shark week! ...shark month! SHARKNADO! Or something... [Mingle]

Starting on the 5th and until the end of October, the Numbered are being watched. By sharks. Very tiny sharks.

Those sharks pop up in every water surface that has a connection to a larger water network (in other words, they will primarily pop up in people's loos, but the tiniest ones of them will also flush out of taps when they're turn on, or even out of showerheads...).

But never fear, it's not a widespread issue: It only happens in houses and other places that Numbered live, study and work in - anywhere that they are very often, a shark might pop up.

You got echoes for your birthday? That's a shitty birthday, right there, yeah. Were they bad ones?

[And he's going to put the bowl down so he can properly pull a hand down his face.]

Not precisely. Very disorienting, though.

I learned an entire language, primarily. Also when I first learned the name of who I was getting memories from in the first place.

That does sound pretty disorienting. A whole language dumped into your head at once? What language was it?

[As it's still video on his end, Walter nods.]

Japanese.

[So nothing inherently traumatic about that, which had been good.]

I'm not certain that's the sort of thing anyone else has gained from an Echo yet; or, if they have learned a language, that it was even one from Earth.

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to getting the dragon-thing's language dumped into my head. I heard him talk once. Sounds like a lot of growling and hissing.

As long as we're not having our first languages supplanted, I suppose it's manageable.

Also, I'd been meaning to ask - have you and Sadie been in touch? I've been given the impression that you have more body-language matters in common than the rest of us do, now.

[scarsolderthanyou]

I see her sometimes, but probably not as much as I should. Mostly when things like this come up. Why, has more changed for her?

[Poor kid. He absolutely understands weird physical changes.]

[iamnotgod]

Nothing new in terms of changes, merely embarrassing consequences.

You haven't found yourself growling at people who are unaware of the Numbered, have you, by any chance?
