[It was easy to say that John was new to all of this strangeness. It was a fact, and yet, that bit of logic had done very little to ease his mind in regards to what all this entailed. He is, after all, a man of science, but he's also incredibly excitable - and under a lot of stress due to upcoming classes beginning soon. It's his first entry on this mysterious Network, and he's sitting on a sofa in a rather mundane looking living room - aside from the papers, random gadgets, and unfinished looking projects scattered about. An impressive stack of quantum textbooks rests near his knee, which is fluttering up and down rapidly in an anxious movement.
He leans forward, peering over the rim of his glasses, and frowns a little.]
I sort of like this idea of this Network thing. It's all very...clandestine, hush hush, bonding experience, speaking out into the void of the internet in the hopes someone hears you and has something important to say. I like it, it's clever - even if it does leave you feeling a bit exposed. Internet's not really all that secure, is it? Anything can end up on the dark web for the right price...
Anyway. It's all well and good, and I'm getting used to this idea of Different, even if it is bloody mad.
What I want to know is why my entire research plan decided today that it wanted to be delightfully lemon flavored? [He holds up a cheerful looking bowl of lemon sherbet, which he sort of wrinkles his nose.] Honestly. It could have at least had the courtesy of being banana flavored if it's going to inconvenience me.

Thanks for that! I'll have to make some this weekend. I'll share the recipe with the Network unless we want to have some sort of...non support group social. It's really hard trying to...
[John sighs a little and looks at a point beyond the view of the camera, his eyes intense.]
Didn't much fit in before. Definitely feeling Other now. Would be nice to find some people who Get It.

The Bureau? Or ... whatever you mean about not fitting in before?

Which is why I went to that support group...thing, and why I'm posting here! And talking with you all! Lovely bunch of people so far. I'm very curious about all of you - us? Us.

[John nods in agreement, slowly.]
Not really a...talk over the Network sort of conversation, I think.

But bananas are a prefectly safe subject.

[He looks properly chastised for a moment, then smiles, a bit awkwardly.]
Makes perfect sense. You're right about bananas though. Or lemons, as the case may be - say. How long will I have to look at my research plan melting before it decides to return to its usual state? I have to say, the transmutation of matter business is all very...well, not by the Book.

I don't know how long it takes. Every time it happened to me, it stayed ice cream for different lengths of time. Except the one I smashed. That came back right away. But this thing was wrecked.
