Don't worry, she laughed when she saw the royalty results too. And then shrieked in terror.

So, I've got a ... question. The freaky things don't exactly seem to be stopping, and one thing hit me as really weird. The whole. "Founder's Day Court" thing. It didn't stand out to me until afterwards, but... well. I looked back through what's been posted to Retrospec so far, and... There are definitely more than a couple of us chosen from that who are also on THIS. That ... seems more than a little odd, doesn't it?

[Someone seems to be lacking a certain amount of energy that's normally on display. Why, it's not as if many more "freaky" things have been happening, right?

I mean. Unless you woke up in the middle of the night with some awfully weird visions in your head, or you're desperately trying to stave off the desire to build a conspiracy wall in your bedroom.]

Maya Aimoto YEAH!
Maya Aimoto If you assume everything else is connected SOMEHOW - and with it all happening at once, it's kind of gotta be right?? - then this can't just be a coincidence, right?!

Caroline Banks The question is, why?
Caroline Banks Fixing what's essentially a popularity contest to be won by members of a secret social network who know horses used to exist?
Caroline Banks I don't think I'd even accept a children's cartoon with that premise. It's too silly.

["Fixing" isn't what she was trying to imply, and in fact sure wouldn't make her feel great, but she can't blame anyone for coming to that conclusion. It is ... weird, regardless.]

Maya Aimoto Yep. It's super silly.
Maya Aimoto It does start to feel like someone is messing with us. Specifically.
Maya Aimoto But most of us were pretty much unconnected before this mess...

[oceanicbutterfly]

Caroline Banks Maybe that's the key. Maybe there's a connection we don't know about, and everything comes from that.

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto The whole "not knowing about it" is really the thing, though, isn't it?
Maya Aimoto Otherwise it feels like we're just running around in circles!

[That's because you are, Maya.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

Caroline Banks Well, we'll have to find out *something* eventually.
Caroline Banks Right?

[strongestheart]

Maya Aimoto Either that or more weird things are going to keep slapping us in the face.
Maya Aimoto I'm gonna take a wild guess at which comes before the other.
