cw: mentions of all kinds of Norfinbury horrible

[The only response is a grunt of acknowledgement around the chew toy for several minutes as House cross-references the dates the Beacon App has been offered out and the days weird crap happened. Will might be forgiven for thinking he's been forgotten. But about twenty minutes later, House looks up, pulling the bone out of his mouth.]

I was wrong. The Beacon App was first offered on... Day 14. During some error that amped everyone's paranoia up and made them start hallucinating voices and a light in the sky. There were a couple of other errors after that. People with the Beacon had different effects than the people without. The anomalies weren't always around. They didn't turn up until Day 19. The people who had their Beacon Apps on attracted them when they were first starting to appear and form. More than the people without. The Beacon App kids also had the devil's own luck for the first error I was around for. Day 36, that's when we had the shadow people wandering around town first show up and some people got possessed. After that, people started getting sick, like really sick. Nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity, fever, headache, body ache, coma. Grody. You had your Beacon on you were fine, though.

Day 50, we got the first glimpse at the MN poisoning effects. All of 'em. You had your Beacon on, you didn't get it as bad as other people. The Admin offered the app five days later.

Next time was Day 67. We didn't have anything happen until Day 69, though. There were weird ass effects, like people blinking in and out of existence. Hallucinating yourself into an old memory, losing your senses, falling into a coma.

Then it was Day 78. Again, nothing too weird until Day 80. We got our very own pet anomalies trying to grab us constantly. That's when Winter offered us an app to get rid of 'em. Except she didn't tell anyone it'd delete a memory of whoever the person looked like to do it. Admin came in a forced it on the rest of us. Similar program, but it just deleted random memories. [He glances to the side. He still doesn't remember anything about how he met Stacy or why they started dating. Not that it matters. It doesn't matter. House blinks a few times before continuing.]

Day 120 was right after we had those fun shared dreams you got to experience.

Day 200 there wasn't anything. Just Winter contacting us around then--Day 199 and then again Day 202 to tell us she'd made private messages private from the Admin. Set off the firewall or... something. I got a lamprey thing climbing out of my tablet and attaching itself to may face. [And trying to bite/suck it off... which is quite possibly the most excruciating pain he has ever experienced in his life barring Kid's torture surgery in the tower and even then, those are pretty neck-and-neck.]

Day 331, right after our little pit adventure and then today. Probably means something's gonna happen with those red lines in a day or two or it's the cue for Winter to call.
