[Hello, network! Have some neat and spidery handwriting in a nice notebook. Across the page are little notes--page numbers, library reference numbers, book titles and various small mentions of various macabre concepts, motifs and monsters, linked via loose concept webs weaving over the page. "vermaxi" is one word apart from the others, closed off in quotes and surrounded by little question marks. it'd appear like this notebook is just as much a work notebook as a personal log.

She's already skimmed the network a bit on her computer, but it'd seem she's missed the part about it working on any other surface. just her luck!

she draws a little arrow to where she wrote her numbers, before she starts to write.]

Won't get out of my head. Apparently, they connect to some weird forum. It could be an interesting device in a story? Anything's bound to turn out better than Malchior did. [and there's a little fast and heavy stroke written in annoyance after the fact, before she draws a little disgusted-looking face. who says notes can't be fun?] Not your finest work, self.

I've done a little bit of reading and listening on recent topics. Vermaxi? [and the earlier mention of it in her notes gets underlined. repeatedly.] Giants??
Past lives?
- Transformations
- Changes
- Powers
- Swords and guns from nowhere????

Some of it's too weird. But the videos don't lie - there's something to this.

What the hell have I stumbled into?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

A really fucked up magical conspiracy theory.

And that's not sarcastic at all I swear.

[WHOA WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT

there's a definite gasp and a thumping sound as Rachel drops her notebook, rearing back slightly in her chair. bbbbefore picking it up again.]

Well, my notebook is talking back to me. I think you get the benefit of the doubt.

[Oh man, it looks like someone accidentally wrote their way onto the network. Thomas chuckles as he wishes he could see the look on their face on what is about to happen to them.]

I wouldn't quite call it hell, just pretty close. It's where all the cool people are after all.

[god it keeps happening]

It works on paper too?

[yeah, she's realizing what's happened here.]

HEY MALCHIOR WAS A GREAT BOOK OKAY

AND THIS IS REAL LIFE ANYWAY IT'S PRETTY COOL EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL AND STUFF

[a moment's hesitation. sure, ok, may as well name herself.]

It's my worst work.

I'm beginning to see that. This is just [another pause.] a lot to take in.

Missed the part about how the numbers work on anything, huh?

We do not know that the things that we on this network are experiencing are from past lives, unfortunately... Although (most of) everything that you will see us refer to here is true, we are still only theorizing on why it is happening.

There is a guide to what this is as far as we do know, if you have not happened on it yet... One of the others will probably be able to give it to you if you would like.

Interesting... is that the running theory, though? Or too soon to say?

I'll ask. Thanks.

Yeah all this business does make a better story than that. Never trust a wizard. Especially not a wizard that winds up being a black dragon.

I'm never going to get away from that book.

What's wrong with wizards?

I could tease you about Malchior, I guess, but everyone else already did. So instead I'll mention how much I like your other works, Ms. Roth.

[she's had to move over to her computer by now.]

Rachel is fine.

Anyway, I don't usually hear that.

[First Wally, now Rachel? Huh....]

From the looks of things, you stumbled on a fan club.

[Hehehe.]

Ever thought of writing a sci-fi? I've heard everything from theories about telepathy to aliens.

[... yeah, she might've been able to guess with Bertl, but when she goes back up to look at Tim's response she's at a loss. maybe she doesn't know this person?]

I'm so lucky.

[kill her now]

I guess I could do it, but the SF parts would be window dressing. It's not my thing.

[This is a teacher's handwriting, of the 'writing so small children can read it' variety.]

Oh, I don't know, at least you didn't have anyone sparkling in it. Puts you a step ahead of the competition. [Becky tries to keep an eye on the YA scene, in the event she has students who get bored with the typical third-grade reading level; she wouldn't give them a romance anyway, but she branched out from there.]

And yes, swords and guns from nowhere. Sometimes they're even ray guns.

[ooooh yep she knows that sort of writing.]

Meyer can have that demographic. It's not my usual thing anyway.

I'm surprised giants stood out to you, that's not your usual focus of interest.

[One of his writers on the Network is pretty lame, he can admit that. But at least it's one he can tolerate.]

How was the book signing?

Edited (oops) 2013-10-09 09:56 (UTC)

[... well this wasn't expected.]

Bertholdt?

[just a guess, but she's moving on from it. she actually enjoyed working with him to get Malchior out on schedule, even if she hated the book.]

About how I expected. Teenagers and housewives mostly, all of them coming up holding Malchior, most of them proving they didn't get it.

There were a few people with Dusk Carnival or Outlands or something though. That was kinda nice.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's kind of a big mess of genres here. Alt-me is from like some "aliens take over the Earth" kind of story, and there's vampires, and a guy who can talk to fish, and some people who are people just with weird stuff that happened to them? Its really like someone threw a bunch of fantasy and SF and comic books in a blender or something to make our pulses.

Talking to fish?

[where has she heard that before...]

So there's no rhyme or reason at all?
