[This is pretty close to how I imagine Above's writing is like. Messy, thick-marker stuff, but legible. Though she can fit more letters per line.]

[There's a blot on the paper. She wants to thank the people who watched her glass cocoon, but... Anyway.]

So anyone heard of a nothlit before?  And

Hey, it's nice to see your writing again!

[pentaps.] There used to be someone here who called himself Nothlit.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Yeah [pause] thanks.

How long ago was that?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

[there's a long pause.]

Two years ago.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Wow.

[Should she leave it at that? She shouldn't leave it at that.]

You busy?

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Not right now, no. Though, I didn't know him very well myself.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

I want to talk to you.

[She just wants to ask about the hole under Captain Planet, but is feeling too suspicious to say it openly.]

[feathered-earth.livejournal.com]

Okay. Where would be best?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

A nothlit? I thought it was just a name.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

It's a word. It means someone caught or stuck between species.


I don't know. I think there was a book on it.

[She is from the right time frame to have read some Animorphs. And I will say that she did, off and on, just enough to have vague recognition now.]

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Weird word, but I guess it makes sense for him. I think I remember the same guy as Krile. Didn't know him that well, though.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

So, was he feathery all the time?

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

No - I saw him a few times when he came to work as this big muscular, spiky-bladed creature. And it wasn't a punishment or anything - he did it on purpose, somehow.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

So, he could shapeshift?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Nothlit and I were pretty good friends.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Yeah? What was he like?

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

He was really nice. Kind of quiet, but very understanding.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

[Ummmmm long pause.]

Sorry.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

It's okay. He was my friend, and I miss him, but it doesn't make me sad to think about him.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

He had a bunch of friends he forgot, someone said. Must have made more.

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It is good to see Above-gūniang thus restored.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

Good to be back. Or out. Or whatever.

So, I'm [imitated a bit slowly] gūniang now?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

You do not find it too presumptuous, I hope.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

What's it mean?

[getsome-sleep.livejournal.com]

It is a respectful address for a good friend.

[azhdarchidae.livejournal.com]

[Congrats, Huo, you've flummoxed her. There's a blot where her marker tip rests on the page for a while. The fact that he hung around her cocoon while she was dusted would suggest that he's not lying. WHAT DO.]

Why

[Strike that out. Paaaause.]

Thanks?

[Strike the questionmark. But now she seems sentimental, and we can't have that.]

Yeah, well [pause] just don't expect me to paint for you.

[That sounds stupid. ...Oh well.]
