The bright computer light illuminated your room, soft lo-fi filled the air and the smell of driftwood and salt water surrounded you. You stretched and cracked your knuckles before continuing to tap on your keyboard, the light clicks mingling in the air with your lo-fi playlist streaming from YouTube.
~herokiller47 has joined the chat...~
~herokiller47: everyone is up late tonight I see?~
You blink a few times pushing away the urge to log off and crawl into bed.
~you: its been awhile hk where you been? we all thought you got caught.~
~herokiller47: I'm untouchable sirensong everyone here knows this. Don't think so low of me as to get caught by some cracked out hero's.~
I really should change my screen name. Sirensong is outdated, that isn't me anymore. I'll think on it tomorrow.
~herokiller47: peekin, did you see the news? I think our ideals are gaining traction, another group was reported harassing a group of heros. Stain's ideology will live on!~
~peekin: yeah man, i saw the report right after school, i heard they were going to be at best jeanists agency to protest next week. I'm gonna skip school and catch a ride to go.~
Is this what our group has come to. School kids skipping out to hold up signs in front of a hero's office? I have no idea who these people really are, but herokiller likes to brag about attacking hero's and petty crimes like theft. Peekin is just some kid who knows how to access the dark web and wants to rebel against society.
~herokiller47: We should be doing more against the hero's, nothing short of extermination. come out with me sometime peekin. I'll show you what the resistance is all about.
~Cremation has entered the chat...~
~herokiller47: Welcome Cremation! you must be a member of the resistance if you have stumbled upon this chat! don't worry everything is encrypted and sirensong has a program that alerts us if any government or police owned computer accesses this chat and it is all immediately wiped clean.~
You run a scan on Cremation's computer to see if you can detect any agency software on his set up and make sure he's clean. Nothing pings your system but it's like the entire computer is locking you out. This person must know their way around a system stop to keep you out this well. You start to worry and message herokiller the safeword in case something fishy happened the group could bail and start fresh in a new server.
~You: hk, how's Milwaukie this time of year? cold yet?
No one lives in Milwaukie, but 'cremation' doesn't know that.
~Cremation: You talk tough herokiller, but do you really uphold Stains ideal and work for is perfect society. ~
~Cremation: My partners and I have been monitoring this chat for awhile and if any of you are as serious as you say, you can find me at the purring lion downtown.~
~Cremation has left the chat...~
That was odd... I better go ahead and wipe the chat and have everyone start fresh....\
~You: Everyone knows the drill. ttyl.
~herokiller47 has left the chat...~
~peekin has left the chat...~
You shut down and wipe the server clean. Something kept bothering you about Cremation... something just felt off about it. You sat at your computer just staring at the screen.
I should really get to bed, I need to be up for work pretty early... I think i'll take a quick bath.
You logged off your computer and got up, walking slowly to the bathroom. Your driftwood and seawater candle still flickering on your bedside table filling the room with the salty aroma. You began to run the bathwater and pouring in a few scoops of lavender bath salt to soak in. As the tub was filling you grabbed your laptop to browse while you soaked.
Once the tub filled you stepped in feeling the water scald your skin turning your legs red. The pain subsided and you sunk deeper into the water and set up your small table across the tub and set your laptop up.
While browsing reddit and tumblr, you hear a ping and I new browser opens up automatically.
~Cremation has started the chat...~
Your heart sinks.
How did this guy get into my laptop...Oh god I hope he's not a fed.
~You: Who are you and what do you want.
~Cremation: I want you to join our group. I know you're the only serious one in that entire group. You're the only one with any type of useful skill.~
~You: How am I suppose to know you're not trying to lure us out to arrest us for conspiring against hero's.~
~Cremation: You're just going to have to trust me doll.~
Who the fuck is this guy?? Doll? Really? What a load of shit.
~You: If you have someone skilled enough working with you to get into my system, you don't need me.~
~Cremation: We know you're fast. Our associate has spent a considerable amount of time trying to break down your firewalls and get into your system and even so, everything is still hidden to us. It was a struggle to get this far in.~
~Cremation: You are skilled and quick. I am sure you have a quirk we could find a good use for as well. We believe you are valuable.~
~You: I'm sorry to disappoint, I don't have a quirk and I am not interested in working with you.~
~Cremation: You know where to find me when you change you're mind.~
You quickly shut down your laptop and slammed it closed.
I'm gonna have to disconnect and wipe this thing and then do a full check on my system. How long was that creep and his friends poking around behind my doors trying to find a way in??
You threw your laptop into the chair across the room and fell into bed worry running through your mind. You messed in the wrong crowd a lot but this felt more than just some internet troll or crazy person. You felt targeted.
