> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> NEW YEARS. What better way to start out the new year than to learn that everything you know is a lie? Or if you are already acquainted with the network pass out some resolutions.
> A food fight has just broken out in the cafeteria. Join? Flee? The choice is yours alone.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

a - video;

[The video feed opens on this image, an image of a white card a la Pokemon cards, featuring a beetle with a red spade on its back. Slowly, the card pulls back from the feed to be replaced with the slightly exasperated expression of a young man.

He looks at the card, then back at the feed.]

Anybody wanna explain how a... card from Sorcery: The Meeting is supposed to be helpful? Because I gotta tell you, right now it's looking pretty useless.

b - action, at the grocery store;

[Anyone at the grocery store around 10 in the morning on New Year's Eve will find a young man in plain green scrubs looking through the pastries. He looks somewhat wiped, like he's been working all night, and when he finally spots a clear plastic box of apple turnovers that seems to please him, it takes him a minute to actually find the shopping basket he'd placed at his feet.

He looks sheepish as he bends to pick it up, and when he stands to walk toward the vegetables, a nametag falls from his pocket. It says 'Ken Brand, R.N.', and there's a sunflower sticker in the corner. It's probably the kind of thing someone should mention to him.]

[The guy on the other end of the video feed looks rather shaken at seeing that card. He's got several of these things, although his all have hearts rather than spades. He'll hold up one of his.]

You're not the only one.

[Ken nearly falls off his desk trying to get closer to his webcam.] Woah, wait, really?

[He looks between the card on the screen and the card in his hand.] Any idea what it means? Or does? Or anything? [He's a rapt listener, now.]

They're...ah...I remember monsters getting sort of...sealed into them.

[And remembers that happening to himself. And remembers doing it to a guy he was pretty sure was some kind of human. He can't say he was ever expecting to find anyone else with the same cards.]

They also do weird things with my belt.

[As he speaks, said belt appears around his waist from out of nowhere.]

You dropped something.

[... but she doesn't offer to get it for him because she's such a nice person.]

[It takes him a beat to realize she's talking to him, and he looks up.] What?

[Slowly, he turns around. His wallet? The box of crackers? The nametag registers, and he lights up with surprise.] Ah! Thanks! [He hurries back to pick it up. Then he clips it to his breast pocket and flips it inside.] There. That oughta do it, right? [He smiles at the pretty girl. ...wow, she was a pretty girl. Shit. What does he do when talking to a pretty girl???]

[The nametag hadn't been that close to her feet, but she takes a step back anyway. Because she's so friendly.]

What would you have done if someone hadn't noticed?

[He just sighs at the image of the card and then shows his card to the camera.]

If I was to guess, I would say that these cards have less to do with the card game and more to do with what is happening to us.

Unless you are a collector of the KARATE BUG-MAN merchandise.

[[Have a white haired kid with a long thin scar under one eye holding up a different sort of card]]

Wait until you get a whole deck of them.

[Jack's face is all kinds of tense and uncomfortable. That card was sure as hell no Sorcery: the Meeting thing. But if it's putting him this on edge, he'd better damn well say so. This could be important, though he has nearly no idea why.]

Did it just suddenly appear? Did it remind you of something? Either way, hold onto it.
