Chapter Forty-Four: Thick Abrasion

So, what happened in my world today? Well, I saw Hop. That was prety good, I tought. Funny enough to give me laughs, which is all you really ned for a good movie, right? Unless it's so bad tat yu laugh at it. Anyway, I'm all full on popcorn and Mounain Dew. I know there's lots of jokes about that stuff, but I think it's eally good! What else hppened? Oh, I squshed my had in the car door. And then I squished my other hand in the car door. I can't feel my hads. Sorry if there's typos :P

Did anything ELSE else intereting happen? The ticket-taker was kinda weird. e wore a mask that hd two faces. I dunno if it was some kind of promotional stunt cause I don't remember seeing anything about Batman: The Return of Two-Face, but maybe he was just still stuck on Halloween. All Hallow's Ee, som call it. He was pretty reepy, though, he leaned int my face and stuff and like sniffed me. But then I saw him sile. The mask kinda...gos over his nose? And his mouth is open to the air. So I saw him smile. I guess he was happy for me or something. ut it ws creepy. Really, really, really reepy. It was almost like slasher-I'm-gonna-ill-you creepy.

What else? My hnds are really bruised right now. And swolle. And a bit cut up. It's not eep, but wide. It's...hick! A tick abrasion. Good title for a first blog post, right? Probably think I'm emo or somthing...yes, I'm going to go with m name being "Joce". It migt as well be, really. I might change my name to it eventually, my real name is, um, ber weid.

Ha, weid. Like weed. The kids at my school smoke weed, I heard them alking about it. They were discusing their future kids. "I dn't want my kids to smoke until they're twelve and then only if they tell e about it." "I dnno, I get this vibe like you'd be a horrible parent." I wanted to shout at them that they all sounded like horrible parents. If you're reading this, please don't reprodue. Or adopt. Ha! Har har de har. Hula-oop. Oh my God. Oh my God. I haven't hula-hooed in years. I want to now. Thanks a ot, Internet!

Just kidding, it's not your fault! Still lov you guys. Not like nyone's paying attention, though, I have, what, one follower? Or is it two follower? Yeah, two. James and Mary or somthing, I don't feel like looking righ now.

Joc, foce, noce, moce, goce, roce, poce, loce. Loce? Like lice? I don't think I've ever had ice. I do remember getting ice checked, though, at a sumer camp. That camp SUCKD. Major. Lke, Major General Officer Lieuenant suckage.

Shoop da oop!

I'm ramblng so much!

View bog. bardftruths@gmai.com. What kind of email is ardoftruths? And who evn uses Gmail?

I guess blggers...Bork bork bork! Ha. Guild Wars...killing Charr, illing gorps or whatever...Guild Wrs reference...but YAY FOR GUILD WARS TWO! Yay yay yay!

...Ouch, my hands hurt. BOTH of them. A lot.

I'm going to not bother with the tpos. I gotta soak my hands.

Yo, bro! Ciao!

I've information torturous, killable, and riddle jaunts,

I know the king of all, and I quote His wisdom glorious

From things to do and things to turn, in such an order more-ious;

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters musicalital,

I understand the verses, both the simple and complexital,

About the boy who shall be ours I'm teeming with a lot o' news,

With many cheerful facts about the ways to make him be of use.

Chapter Forty-One, Page Two

You can probably disregard this; I just want to write down my thoughts on Zerosage and some things (and I don't have any paper!). If you do so, move on to the previous post with my sucky drawings.

I can't say I understand Zerosage's plan, his goal. I don't want to think for him or assume anything - but this is the way I think of it.

If the Slender Man only kills people who know about him, then he (Captain Obvious time!) doesn't kill people who don't. If Zerosage kills all the Runners and Fighters and whoever else there is, then there will be nobody left to think of the Slender Man. If there's nobody left to think of the Slender Man, he'll have no place to feed, and he'll die. Where's Robert's quote from the Revised Core Theory? "It WILL die, and there will be no young. It is a singular creature feeding off a limited resource." If the resource runs out, he dies. Sabrina mentioned on the post that I'm writing in response to that by continuously posting that he's going after Runners (which he's already started, apparently) that everyone will be expecting him.

I won't, for one. What does he look like, for starters? I know he's got that mask, but does he STILL have it? He could be anything, anyone. He could, theoretically, get a sex-change operation. And anyway, why would you expect your hero to ACTUALLY come after you, no matter how much he blogs about it, especially if you're secretly thinking he's insane? I wouldn't. I'd be so...messed up that I wouldn't be able to do anything about it when it happened.

Zerosage also incessantly insists that he be called "Zerosage" as opposed to Zerombr or Zero or even Zerombrsage. (I've never really tried that last one, but he hasn't mentioned it.) In at least one of Frap's email convos with Zerosage (Is it illegal to read his mail? Well, he gives me permission anyway) he said the same thing after Frap asked something that included the name "Zero". The fact that he had taken up the title (Sage) and is now refusing to be addressed by any name besides one that INCLUDES that title is...interesting, to say the least. It shows some kind of attachment to the title, at least, some kind of bond.

Then again...somewhere, one of the (Sage)s said that they're not a fighter or anything, they're a (Sage). In fact, it might well have been Zerosage. Sages are not, traditionally, supposed to fight, are they? Only in Fire Emblem. The sage is, besides a plant and an adjective, is a wiseman, a mentor, especially in spiritual and philosophical topics.

And then...Frap and Zerosage's relationship.

...

There's something private there. I shan't reveal it yet.

I won't advocate for the slaughter of innocent Runners.

But I'll advocate for Zerosage.

Also, nice quote from Noah and the Whale's L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N.:

Extended works of fiction about imaginary success
The chorus girls in neon were his closest things to friends
But to a writer, the truth is no big deal

Chapter Forty-One: Panda of Troy

Finally got some pics! Most of them are too big to just show, though, and I don't feel like doing anything fancy...

Symbol drawn on a desk at school:

Janus got a new mask again! It's back to two faces. So I tried sketching it.

That's right. He sees out of the ears.

The others (besides two of them which didn't scan right):

Tiberius Miller (Halfling Rogue Extraordinaire (Me!))

Alaroes Something Something (Human Fighter!)

Chibi-esque-ish Slendy!

Gennald Griar (Human Sorcerer!)

This last one isn't accurate, since, as I may or may not have said, he doesn't know any offensive spells. At all. He wanted to be an illusionist.

Eventually I'll get the other rogue (a human) and the half-elf cleric up.

For whatever reason, we gave Gennald the Rod of Wonder last session. He sent our tent to the Ethereal plane - I guess we're lucky. After all, he was only 1% away from turning Alaroes into stone.

Nothing from Frap today. I guess he's still working on that thingie.

I did, actually, get another notecard, but I'm not going to bother writing it all out. Suffice to say, it says TWO DAYS ITLL START AGAIN.

I had nightmares last night.

About the Erlking.

He offered me a place in his Hunt. I declined, ever so politely, and so he trampled me.

Then I woke up in a cold sweat and had a hallucination!

It looked like a little fairy came in through the sliding doors and alighted on my nose...

Queen Mab! She runs across your nose and stuff, right?

But this was after the dream...

Anyway, it was gone when I woke up for real.

Holy mierda. I'm seeing things. You know those optical illusions with the goblet?

Or the old lady-young lady one?

The branches in the forest are turning themselves into shapes, shapes, shapes.

It won't stop RAINING!

It's really wet...not hot rain. Not the bad rain.

Just wet, wet, wet, everyday forest wetlands near river rain.

I think Dead Beat is packed away somewhere for the renovations. Pity. I guess I could just Google stuff.

Sure! Let's do...that...

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

I have.

I mean, come on. You've got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

Chapter Forty: Whereto? Wet Nether?

For whatever reason, they didn't bother with the incessant coding this time. Just numbers.

...Gaid? This is what tips you off to the anagram bit, when there's random words that mean nothing.

I think you can guess what it says. Actually, no, because it's got typos.

THRE DAYS ITLL START GAIN

Yo, Janus, you're getting sloppy! What up, bro? You missed like two letters!

Unless I missed them.

I wish you had picked a different code, this one makes me think of unpleasant things.

Oh, and Frap made tumblrs yesterday for both he (and Astrid and Sharpie, I guess) and for I. He and me?

Note: Paranormal Poetry! Entitled...Erode.

Leading the hunt, blowing the horn

Darting through forests and plains and seas

Calling the Fey to ride 'til the morn

Riding on bats and horses and bees

Chapter Thirty-Nine, Page Two

I keep spamming people's reading lists, don't I?

I'm sorry for that, I really am, but I figured this was a bit important.

(Besides Ron going crazy. :|)

I messed up, though. I copied it wrong.

The sequence of numbers that I put down earlier was correct up until 23, because there were...six numbers after that, and neither 8 nor 10 were directly after it. Therefore, the final translation is:

STAR ARYI FOUG ALTT DWSI NLAJ

And, if you divide it by 4, you get...

STARAR

YIFOUG

ALTTDW

SINLAJ

Which says, SYASTILIAFTNROTLAUDARGWJ.

Which is gibberish WHICH IS BACKWARDS!

JW (extra) GRADUAL TORNT FAIL IT SAYS

I'm assuming TORNT is some kind of shortening of torrent? Like, tor'nt?

WHICH...is an anagram! Ah, Chekhov's Skill! A little bit of mix em up, here and there, some JW elimination...leads to a lot of possible results, which one makes the most sense? This one!

FOUR DAYS ITLL START AGAIN

Oh.

Yay.

(The card is one of those super-huge poster ones you can get at, uh, IKEA, or somewhere)

Decoded (it runs through all five of the things on that one website), it says:

19 20 1 18 | 1 18 25 9 | 6 15 21 7 | 1 12 20 20 | 4 23 8 10

If these numbers are taken as letter numbers, you get:

STAR ARYI FOUG ALTT DWHJ

This, of course, looks a lot like the code that Scott has had trouble with.

Unfortunately, STARARYIFOUGALTTDWHJ does not divide by three.

Any guesses?

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Chef Kiting's Grill

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN

WASN'T IT.

(Hello, Fox, welcome to my blog!)

Let's talk about lights!

Not Redlights, though. Normal lights.

For the longest time now, maybe a year or two, lights...flicker. Electric lights. Every once in a while, boop! And back again. Half a second usually.

This only got weird when the sun started to flicker.

Of course I thought I was just blinking, until it happened every day at around the same time.

Two is a very important number to me. Not actually all that much, but it is definitely an Arc Number in the book I'm writing. (Spoiler alert: three turns out to be the real Arc Number later)

Two p.m., two oh two, two twelve, two twenty-two, two thirty-two, two forty-two, and two fifty-two. No doubt something similar happens in the wee hours of the morning, but I'm rarely awake at that time.

After I got used to this, it got weird again just about forty-five minutes ago, when I was being driven home from school by Mom (I'm still at home, Frap can give details about that later) when something flickered again. This time, it wasn't a flicker off, not a short period of darkness, but as if a lightning flash,

in the middle of the day,

in the spring.

It is spring now, isn't it? Huh. Almost forgot.

If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?

Pilgrims.

I feel a dys of a lot better than I did yesterday, and I don't even have any homework to do! Woot.

I should keep a log, huh?
