[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.

[the impression is so unsurprisingly spot on that she cackles with glee] That's him, yeah.

And here we always used to say it was amazin' how much he an' Anthony looked alike, now there's you. This Different thing is just full of surprises. I wonder if there's some posh Manhattan magazine editor out there with my face...

Oh, yeah! Yep - [He enunciates the 'P' at the end of the word emphatically, nodding with some amusement.] I haven't met the other one; this Anthony yet. Gotta admit to being curious, though! I was telling him when we met, that this odds were really out there for this to happen - so I'm fairly certain that it really is to do with the Different and not just...freak genetics. Not - not that I'm a geneticist or anything.

But I bet, if you wait around long enough, you might just find out if that's true - if there's someone else out there with your face. If this has something to do with a multiverse situation - the idea that there's multiple universes all existing in tandem with one another - and we're getting overlaps, then it's possible! Makes you wonder where the three of us are from and how we differ, eh?

[He leans in a bit conspiratorially.] My Memory had alien robots in it. Wild, innit?
