001 - video - is this thing on?

[64th]

[ Cash knows how these network type things work, so she is feeling pretty smart right about now. when the video comes on, you can see she's holding the phone at arms length. she fixes her hair first, and then smiles. ]

Well, if I've got one of these, I'm sure the rest of you do too. Assuming you didn't get eaten by a bear. [ ha ha? ]

I'm Cashmere. Who are you? Where are you?

testing, testing - network up and running.

[On this fine morning, everyone, one and all, awakens to a shiny new smartphone resting gently on the pillow next to their head. If you have a phone, SIM cards can be exchanged to make it work. Otherwise, enjoy your fancy new technology.

Of course 'awaken' is a mild term. Each phone emits a high-pitched beep, followed by static, followed by a distant, eerie voice.]

Testing. Testing. Testing.

[Another burst of static, and the phones fall silent, though now up in one corner of the screen is a blinking indicator - full bars of network reception, even though you're in a cave. Convenient!

Have fun. Post to the network. Call your friends. Text somebody. Send a dick pic. The network is now fully functional. But don't bother responding to this initial testing post. No one is listening.]
