Your toaster rattles.

1 missed message. Unknown sender.

...wait.
WHAT??

You stare at the plain appliance as it cheerfully repeats the announcement. This time it even puts on a tiny holographic fireworks display in the air above its slots for toast.

Yeah, I know what you're thinking: "But it's not a smart model...and it doesn't have an internet connection..."

Those were both facts until about 15 seconds ago...when you entered Luridity and your toaster got a Network address.

Lucky you: FateIf someone's invading your sidebar rn, it's him. already has your toaster's number.
(*sigh* He has everybody's toaster's number; honestly, we've just stopped asking how.)
