Hooooly shit. [It's a young girl on the screen, her face very, very close for a few seconds.] This one actually comes on. [It moves back and shakes as she excitedly checks it out.] These phones store music, right? [Some beeps fill in the silence as she tries to navigate the smart phone for the first time.] Pretty easy...


...Nothing. [She sighs, dropping the hand that's holding the phone so that the viewers get a good view of her levi'd leg and what looks to be an old, crumbling building she's in.] Pft, figures.

[All the while, she has no idea she's being recorded.] What the hell can I use it for now? A flashlight?

How many people here are actual professionals?

People with real jobs, not demon hunters or whatever.

[Cinderella is shown in the living room of her Brooklyn apartment. She looks a little tired, and is just glad her latest mission is over.]

Well that was fun. Who would have thought I would be facing the Wicked Bitch of the East again. Perhaps this time she'll stay dead.

[Then she smirks a little.]

At least I got something out of it.

[She reaches down and brings out a pair of silver slippers.]

These babies have some special powers that can really help me in my job, one of which consisting of clicking the heels three times and the wearer can be anywhere they want. And it turns out they're just my size. So, who wants to help me test them out?

Dear book-people,

A man came to my library today, and actually looked at me.

It made me realize how few people actually look at each other here. No one refers to each others by name, or talks directly to one another. Requests are made to the air, in hopes that someone might complete them. In the all time that I've been here, that man was the first to look me in the eye and notice my existence.

Is that...is that normal? To be noticed? Should I be worried that he spoke to me as me, not as an automaton?

Thank you for your advice,
Marianne Za
Under Assistant
The Library

Order: 1130 Chaos: 79

Things just got more complicated around here. My roommate got arrested, and apparently we're the only ones around who can take care of him. His coworkers recommended a lawyer, but he's a lot more than I can afford.

[The video is being recorded from Cinderella's cell, which is apparently laying on the passenger's seat of her car, if the angle has anything the say about it. Cindy herself comes into view as she gets into the driver's seat, looking at a silver charm of a shoe in her hand. Her expression is blank, betraying no emotion she may be feeling.

[She starts the car and that's when she notices her cell phone. With a frown she picks it up and then smiles some when she sees what page it's on]

Well, well... Figures this place would show up again once things start to get more exciting on my end. Hate to admit it, but I actually started to miss this pain in the ass community.

Since this is probably going to make a post, I might as well ask your thoughts on something.

[She holds the silver slipper charm]

Ever had someone from your past, who you thought was long gone, show up again? I maybe dealing with that now, and it's not fun considering who it is.

[ the Doctor sounds a bit... well, shell-shocked, today. and slightly out of breath, as if he'd just run into his ship from the outside and got her into the air before immediately switching the mike on. ]

Right. Well, all things considered, that could've gone worse.

[ raising his voice a little, he announces: ] Bit of advice for you all: if you ever happen to be caught in a tight spot with an Oruplasmian, whatever you do, don't let her try and solve the problem by swallowing it. You think you've seen bad indigestion in whatever your species is, let me tell you, you haven't seen anything until you've had to tangle with the Oruplasmian digestive system.

[ beat. ]

Oh, and while I'm here, has anyone else noticed that Kirei Kotomine and Goldilocks's world has been locked off? Someone might want to look into that, just a thought. Any other time the community's restricted access to a world, it's never been good.

[ another beat, a longer one, this time. ]

Oh, and all those dealing with a virused friend over the next few days, remember to stay in touch. The personality switching ones can be a bit on the hairy side.

Right, I think that's pretty much everything. Ta much!

[The video starts with a woman typing away on a laptop only pausing to check her phone before resuming her work. It almost looks like she has no idea that she's being recorded until she looks straight into the camera.]

Is there any way to pull a video off the community so you can share it elsewhere? I've been trying for hours, but I'm hardly an expert. [She pauses a second, as if realizing something, and then laughs.] I'm sorry. I shouldn't be asking for help without a proper introduction first. My name is Miranda Tate. It's nice to meet all of you.

Wow, so I just realized I haven't really checked this place out in ages. I've been pretty busy, kinda running two jobs right now.

There's probably a bunch of new people now, huh? I'm Finn, so, uh...hi.

Hey, is anyone here a teacher?

--Um, hey! I'm a new face around here. My name's Kouga if you're wondering! Apparently, I got sucked in the middle of that ski trip or whatever. I've never been to a resort before, but it was pretty fun. Thanks again for those who filled me in on what was going on and helped me out. I would've become an icicle if it weren't for you guys.

But I've got a question for you all. What exactly do you consider "normal" in your world? I'm a bit curious since everyone's places are different, right? So I'm pretty sure that everyone's definitions of normal are gonna be different, too.

Anyway, that's it from me! Haah... This is so weird.

Anyone want some yogurt?


[Act now folks, this may be the only time Michael makes such an offer.]
