WHAT IS THEIR SMUSH NAME?

[noblewon]

So you're trying to get me to help you with your senior project, is what I'm hearing.

TEBIN? ROSS?

[hisshiss]

Glad you caught on so fucking fast.

ROBESS? NOBLEBLOOD? YOUBLE? TAKE YOUR PICK.

[hisshiss]

Also I'm like 90% sure you were the one asking if I had a plan, jump the fuck in and play with me jackass.

Shit we know:
- Said they had a brother
- Not dead
- Don't want us to leave which is creepy as shit
- Prize?? The fuck is this prize, I need to know who the fuck gets this prize and why they needed it
- This shit knows who we are, you know s/he does. Your in hermetisism, this seem like shit you'd need to know that shit for? Like some spescial kinda spell?
- Fucking why. Wait idk that one I just wanna know fuckin WHY.

Next time I say we test it out & see if they notice if we just keep saying diff answers.

NOBLEBLOOD SOUNDS THE COOLEST

[noblewon]

You're the fucking worst, you know that?

Okay, that's what we know that he/she/it said. We can't trust it.

Shit it said:
- Said they had a brother
- Not dead
- Don't want us to leave which is creepy as shit
- Prize?? The fuck is this prize, I need to know who the fuck gets this prize and why they needed it
- This shit knows who we are, you know s/he does. Your in hermetisism, this seem like shit you'd need to know that shit for? Like some spescial kinda spell?
- Fucking why. Wait idk that one I just wanna know fuckin WHY.

Shit we know:
- Appears once a month on the new moon.
- Started two years ago.
- All posts are anonymous, handwriting is disguised, and no one yet has managed to undo whatever magic makes it anonymous.
- Anony's writing smells like smoke, and look more like burns
- Mr. Calderon-Boot seems to hate it. Maybe we could talk to him?
- The magical journal system was invented in 2011 by Martin Pratt.
- The Writer promised a prize to someone, so we can assume that he/she/it knows who we are and what we write, even if we don't know each other.

Questions:
- Is the Writer even a person? I'm not convinced it's not some kind of... sentient magical thing?
- Why the new moon? Is that relevant to the magic, or just spooky and cool?
- Why does it smell burned? Why fire instead of ink?
- How is this done? I could stay after in hermetisism to ask about it, but coming at it from an artificing perspective might not be a bad idea either. What if it's just part of the journal system?
- Could Pratt be involved?
- What is the point of it all?

Which is why they don't deserve it

[hisshiss]

You spelled best wrong and you know its bad when I'm corecting spelling.

Re: those qs -
- it does kinda sound maybe not super fucking mature or human. Sounds like it can string a sentence together like me & we know thats shit.
- ok I dunno about the new moon shit specificly (maybe I'n ask next astro class but we all know about the werefi right? Full moon = internet, new moon = weird ass journal shit?)
- Idk I need to stop tryna bs these stupid questions
- you know anyone who might help with the artificing angle? Trix maybe?
- Think Pratt just coded that shit in there? Like a virus or a easter egg?
- RIGHT WHY?

I think we need to talk to C-B. Might be some clues & shit he lost the trail on. Fucking literaley if theres anything to that grotto clue

But we've got nothing else

[noblewon]

Go fuck yourself, shithead.

- It's at least properly sentient, seems like. Or a really good imitation.
- Maybe they just thought it was cooler than like the 3rd of every month.
- Why you bs everything else
- Trix is a mad scientist, so maybe.
- I mean, people can do that shit with computers, why not magic?

How do we approach him though?

[hisshiss]

SINDORI HELP SAVE DIGDUG FROM FROST BITE & HIPOTHERMIA & ALSO FANCY SHOES?

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

YES SINDORI WILL GIVE SHOES.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

Ugh, winter.

I'm going to start booking the atrium in advance. We can have some court scenes every once in a while, Ravi will figure it out. All Digdug will have to do is put on his fancy shoes.

[hisshiss]

Digdug had to burn fancy shoes for warmth.

[addytives]

What's a Digdug?
My dog's name is Dug?

[hisshiss]

DIGDUG BODY GUARD FOR QUEEN SINDORI. DIGDUG FIERCE WARRIOR ON SATURDAYS. Digdug also shirtless and cold, not smart.

[addytives]

Ooooh.

Digdug should invest in a coat to like. Live to fight another winter.

[hisshiss]

Yeah Digdug didnt think thru this stupid costume this summer.

[gdilevi]

Get fur nipple pasties. It'll be fine.

[hisshiss]

To be fair the nipples are pretty much the only part I care about saveing from frost bite.

[gdilevi]

There you go. We'll keep those nips from getting nippy.

[bambae]

What the fuck did I just read

[hisshiss]

Digdug got stuck in character. Now it weird to stop talking in orc 3rd person.

[bambae]

To be fair with you, bro, it's weird to keep talking in orc 3rd person too.

[hisshiss]

help me I'm stuck

[bambae]

See. That was much less weird.

[tinyrebel.insanejournal.com]

The fuck you on about?

[hisshiss]

WINTER NIPPLE PASTIES, keep up little dip.

[tinyrebel.insanejournal.com]

That ain't a statement that normal people fucking say.

[chryseis]

I'm sure Ravi will help with warming charms if Digdug asked.

[Maggie + Nate]

This club is ridiculous.

[hisshiss]

Digdug don't ask DIGDUG TAKE.

[chryseis]

[...]

Why doesn't Digdug take a jacket with him next time?

Maggie + Cricket + Nate need a smush name

[birdbrainy]

I get the running around and having fun on LARP days, I can't say I get the talking-in-character-almost-a-week-from-LARP-days.

The Platinum Trio! (Idk, just anything that denotes they are the best)

[chryseis]

Aren't they all meant to be knights or something? What's an orc?

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Just snatch someone else's winter coat. That seems 'in character', as long as you call it a raid.

... And then of course return it at the end of the day once you have retired the noble persona of Digdug.

[orangepip]

How do you forget about winter?
