Was it a voter registration card?

No, it was a proper postcard :[ You're just jealous! (I got a voter registration card a couple of months ago, but it didn't say where/when to vote, and I'm pretty sure I missed it.)

So you're just going to leave us in suspense?

About the postcard or about Nezmy?

The postcard from Nezmy.

ohhhhh! (I think I need to re-write my Nezmy story. J/k, I haven't written it yet)

You sure are a beamer.

*Hugs Fiery* (He's the one who sent the postcard) Thanks, Fiery ^_^ It makes me feel all squee to see it addressed that way ^_^

I'm beginning to doubt that you actually have any information about Two Jacks, 453 .

Maybe someday, after I read Tyry's chronicle, I'll write Nezmy's story. It may have leaked by then though ^_~

Anyway, Fiery, I realized I'm probably not going to catch you on IRC, so I'll just bump this spam topic. Thank you very much! :D The other day Shorty brought the mail in, sorted out the spam, & handed me a package. "What is it?" I asked. "Something from some pickle in Japan," he said. Then I got very excited and said "Oh, it's Fiery!" :D They are surely the most beautiful coasters! Thank you ^_^

Side-note: You have very pretty handwriting. Do they keep tiny-point pens in Japanese post offices? The kanji in your address (at least, I think it's your address, I can't read it) looks so precise for such tiny text!

Oh, I'm surprised they got there so fast. I sent them on the 28th, I think, and I'd figured on them taking two weeks or more. They are a Christmas present, despite arriving (and being sent) well after Christmas.

I always have a pen on me; my standard is a 0.4mm Pilot Hi-Tec-C (I had a couple in NY, but they're both easier to get and cheaper here). Since moving here, I I also carry a Hi-Tec-C Coleto, currently loaded with red, green, light blue, pink, and purple.

As for my handwriting, there's a big difference between when I'm writing notes for myself and writing for others to read. I get a lot of practice writing my address for others to read.

It's an Epiphany present ^_^ It is impressive how quickly they arrived!

Wowev, the more I learn about you, the more I see how cool you are. (It's kind of overwhelming, really.) (I imagine walking into the post office, pulling my own 1337 pen out of my pocket, and labeling the envelope with it... No, it's too hard to imagine being that prepared.) I didn't even realize you could get grown-up pens in multi-colour! Do you put red marks on your students' homework mistakes?

Unfortunately I can't actually read your address, but I can admire the pretty writing anyway. And the text is clear enough that I could look up the words if I felt like going to the effort. In America, we put spaces in our addresses, which I think might make it a little easier to translate...

I use the red pen for that, but also the other colors sometimes too. I figure grading in pink is pretty similar to grading in red.

I was in a bazaar, trying on a Robin costume (Teen Titans style). The costume was pretty cool, except there was no mask. And it was $60, so I didn't buy it.

While I was in the bazaar, I saw one of Berossus's cronies (? Asius? Malis? Alcestris? At the time, I knew who it was...) use Acertainment. Maybe he(?) wanted to see if a merchant's goods were really as cool as the merchant claimed or something. Anyway, everyone knows only legally-certified mages are allowed to cast magic spells. And Berossus's crony was not a legally-certified mage.

This would be a perfect TS, I realized. The scandal of Berossus's crony! I told y'all about it, and we started the TS. I wasn't sure, anymore, whether a TS was something we make up, or something that really happens to us.

I was with Shorty & the kids at the park across from the bazaar. It was almost time for TS rehearsal, so we needed to make our way through the crowds of people at the park, to the clubhouse building where we would be meeting the other Cytherans and rehearsing the TS. Shorty went ahead of me with the older two girls, leaving me with the younger two and the stroller.

As I pushed the stroller through the park, I decided to try out my anti-gravity boots. Boing! Boing! I could stay in the air for a good several seconds with each jump. It was great fun. But I had to stop so some people from my in-laws' church could croon over my baby. By the time I made it to the clubhouse, I was late to rehearsal.

I entered the clubhouse where a few Cytherans/heroes were already hanging out. TSes must be real, because Kat was blue. Unfortunately, none of the magic-using TS heroes were legally-certified mages, and the crowd outside was starting to turn into a mob. They were pounding at the door, demanding to put Kat and the others (not sure who all was in there) on trial. It was scary. I'm not even sure who I was playing - Retsy, maybe?

We were brainstorming how to get out safely. Kat suggested using Acertainment on the door o_O

Then we heard the secret knock at the door, and I opened it. It was Selax. Except not really. Selax hadn't shown up for rehearsal, so Shorty was standing in for him. "I'm so scared," I told him. He just looked at me with his dazzling understanding eyes, and hugged me. It occurred to me that we were portraying Selax's character wrong.

Then I woke up.

ARE YOU REALLY A DOOR?! TELL THE TRUTH NOW!

If you were playing Retsy (who has no magic), why would you be scared of a mob after uncertified magic users?

Also, if I conveniently didn't show up to the rehearsal, that means I probably tipped off the crowd as to your illegal activities .

Kat- I think you were trying to lighten the mood ^_^

Sely- In my/Retsy's defense, she still doesn't realize that she has no magic. And I think you were absent because you were doing homework.

I suggest we amend all records to indicate that this chron actually happened.

This is still the spam thread, right? Guess what I found out today! I was looking over Shorty's shoulder while he was playing his computer, and discovered that he wrote a Cythera story scene, involving Silverfish and Rapierian, and posted it on a different forum! How treasonous is that? I tried to sleuth around to find the post so I could show you, but apparently you have to register just to see the RP section of that board! Grr.

How could he betray us like that?

I'm not certain whether I should be offended or flattered that he hijacked one of my characters...

Imitation is the sincerest form of copyright infringement.

Last night I dreamed that there was some kind of secret oppression going on. Most people didn't realize they were being oppressed, but some of us did. Sely in particular was upset about it, and published some article about how the government (or whoever was in charge) had taken away our freedoms. The authorities got mad at him, and he was put on trial. The trial lasted a long time, and during the process Sely provided us with updates; but in the end, he was sentenced to jail for 30 days :(

Last night I was chased through my dreams by the ghost of an old woman. I was never caught, but whenever she'd get close I would experience high levels of anxiety.
