Right, so, starting out in my usual way of warmups with too much exposition as to my exact circumstances at current -- trying to remind myself of the dream I had when I was thirteen exactly by exactly copying out the contents of the journal I made that night.

So...

Dear Diary: Last night I had the strangest dream, the most wonderfully clear dream, about a golden room with great stained glass windows, and a test I had to take to--

[there's a great big ink stain here and then actually some significant time passes as Maya reads all the text suddenly in her nice new notebook. At least an hour.]

Well.

If it weren't for the fact that this fully navigable website appeared in a perfectly ordinary leather-bound notebook, I would dismiss it as a particularly inspired ARG. But as it stands, this appeared in a notebook. I normally consider myself quite a skeptic but well. This, I believe, qualifies as extraordinary proof.

I think I met some of you at the convention the other day. My name is Maya Aaronson. I've at least gathered from your entries that this is a secret network of some sort, that some of you are experiencing physical and mental changes that seem impossible (but again, you've provided extremely compelling evidence) and that there's... something out there.

Could someone provide me with a little more detail?

And that's not acceptable. If they're going to hurt us then we'll fight back. In whatever way we can. I'm... just a writer, but, well, we're dangerous beasts when threatened, writers.

[humor? attempt at? maybe??? truth told a small part of her, the part that remembers longing for an adventure, is... a little excited. If also, you know, upset, and scared. ]

I'm a brat and I'm only good for pouting at people. But... I think for some reason we're some kind of threat to them. They wanted to negotiate for us to leave them alone. Somehow, that doesn't sound like something a power would do if they were sure of absolute victory.

[he smiles though, getting the humor. he doesn't think he is good at anything really but he can at least help fund along the cause whenever possible.]

It's good to know that they do consider us a threat, at least, and can't simply walk all over us.

I can't decide if them being afraid of us is an advantage or not. It means they aren't underestimating us, unfortunately...

I think that they might be in a way. They aren't treating us as being too different from the rest of humanity even though there are people who are changing into something different or have memories of being something different. That might give us an advantage but I don't know how.

Well, it DOES mean that they won't have specific ways of dealing with our powers, if they don't know what those are.

I'm hoping that will give us a slight edge whenever they strike at us again.
