whattttt is goooood my caffinated babies!?! its ya gurlll 161 and boy oh boy do i have some newz for youz. you might not even believe it tbh cuz i know i kinda didnt but, nom de plume wrote me back! it feels like getting a letter from santa claus or something you know? anywayyy heres what those (dorks) lovely people had to say about third sight and like how to get it and stuff.
“Hello, Jenny.
I don’t believe we’ve met. At least not now, or should I say, not yet. It’s strange I wasn’t expecting to hear from you until next year. I also wasn’t really expecting to hear from you about this, how very queer. I see why you reached out to us though, it does seem like something we might know about with our connection to literature but I assure you this “Otherworld” is not something we are too familiar with. We might take a look into it ourselves although we are but humble wordsmiths. I’ll see if perhaps Raven or Moreau can talk a look, within our many temporally linked books. Surely this “Otherworld” is not unique to this story alone. If it is, that places us in a rather strange and unusual zone.
All the best,
John Doe.”
sooooo its not like an answer answer, but it is something though! at least the big blue hunk like took me on a musical vision quest. nom de plume just sorta slapped us with a “we will look into it love isnt is neat how we rhyme a lot and we have many books” im guessing that theyll tell us if find something weird in the timey wimey whatever they do. but if we dont hear back soon we shouldnt hold our breaths. the thing about time travelers is they should be pretty darn prompt with their responses imo. in fact i should get a reponse like within a few minutes or im just going to assume they arent going to write me back.
