[Lillian doesn't get around to fishing Lester's origami out of her tote bag until the next day. She'd slept in until eleven o' clock the next morning after being up so late exchanging letters with James through the mailboxes upstairs. Fortunately, it's Saturday and there isn't anywhere she needs to be today. Though no one's around to see it, ( Read more... )

[Lester has been poking around on his computer when it told him he had an e-mail. The only person who ever really e-mailed him was Carla. He clicked on it only to find he was quite, quite wrong.]

This is quite the coincidence. I would never have guessed that you were mementovivere, but perhaps that is because I was unaware that you were here. No, I probably would not have been able to tell regardless.

I, or maybe we, must be lucky if we've been running into each other both on campus and on the internet. This is definitely what I would call good luck.

I hope you are having a good day,

Lester Cotton

[Lillian was scrolling through her inbox when she got the notification she had a new e-mail. She'd just started to click on a mass e-mail recently sent to all students and faculty by the principal when a reply from Lester appears. That was fast. She quickly changes plans, moving her cursor over to the new email instead and clicks.]

Only one other person knows I'm mementovivere. :) I don't use my real name online if I don't know the person in real life.

I agree we're lucky. This is, indeed, a fortunate turn of events.

I am, actually. :) I hope you are as well.

I see. I'm the same way--I would rather not use my real name on the internet if I can help it. I have told one person who I am, I believe, because they had a similar experience to me.

[Here he realizes that Lilly is one of the people who had gotten wrapped up in the persona incident]

Come to think of it, you've had a similar experience as well. I'm glad to know that you are doing well. I'm not certain what kind of luck is at play if you are involved in the supernatural incidents, since the nature of those are still unclear...Yet I must admit that part of me is glad that you and I are in the same boat.

And at the moment I'm doing well. It is a fairly uneventful day and I intend to enjoy it.

[Lillian quickly finishes her reply to the principal's e-mail when her e-mail notification goes off again and hits send. She lights up at another reply from Lester once she sees who it's from.]

I think it's good to be cautious on the internet. You never know who might stumble across your information.

I'm glad, too. All of it is very strange but it's strangely comforting to know someone from back home has also had an unusual incident.

That's good. I'm responding to the principal's e-mail right now. I didn't check my inbox until today so I missed it. Did you respond?

Very true, I agree with you. I really do prefer not to disclose any kind of information unless I am absolutely certain of the identity of who I am speaking to.

Unusual is certainly one way of putting it. Oh, that is probably why you recognized by description of the fairy. I was asking if you could paint my fairy yesterday.

Ah the principal's e-mail. I did, actually. I tried to explain to him what happened. I am unsure as to how he will react. It is rather all hard to believe.

I'm the same way. I dislike talking to people about my personal life.

[Lillian pauses for a moment, thinking back to last night's letter session with James. Wouldn't the same principle apply to that as well? James seemed very kind but how did she know he was who he said he was? She didn't even know his last name. Maybe she had taken a great risk telling him so much about herself. Honestly, James had learned more about her in one letter exchange than most of her classmates knew. Oh, well, what was done couldn't be undone. It'd be useless to worry herself sick about something she couldn't change even if she wanted to.]

Yes, I'd remembered it from your journal. It was different from any other description of a fairy I've ever read. Very distinct. :)

Oh, dear. I suggested it might be the work of vandals from another school but I don't know if he believed me.

Hmm. I don't really like talking to people about my life, either. Sometimes though, it's nice to have someone who will listen to you when you do feel the need to talk.

I really couldn't find a better way to describe it than as a fairy. I have no idea, really, how else to label something that is so small, colorful and quite frankly, glittery.

The principal replied to me and I really do wonder what he meant when he called me a fairy. He seems to be under the impression that I am either lying to him or reporting a hallucination of sorts to him. I am not entirely certain how I should react to that.

It is. It's hard when you have a lot of things on your mind or in your hands and no one to confide in.

A fairy sounds like it would be closest to what you described. It doesn't sound like a wight, a goblin, or anything like that. I would be happy to paint him sometime. It sounds cute. :)

Whatever he meant, it's very unprofessional of him to call you that. I understand how hard to believe these accounts are but there's no excuse for an educator getting that out of line with a student, even if he is a principal.

I mentioned that I knew that the window had been broken through unusual means and he asked me if I thought ninjas or pirates did. I wonder how he'd respond if I told him samurai did it.

I would be curious to see what everyone else's fairies look like. I admit not all of the ones I saw looked like fairies. Actually, mine may have been the only one who did not take a somewhat human form.

I'm not entirely certain if I understand the principal. Granted people in general are hard to understand. Ninjas? Pirates? I suppose no matter what anyone says he will not believe the truth. I am curious to know what would happen if I showed him my fairy. Although I do not know if that is even possible. I have not attempted to see my fairy again since the incident.

I promised someone I would draw them a picture of mine if I got a better look at her. I'm not sure how go about summoning her, though. Several of the girls conjured creatures that lacked humanoid form. There was a ghost dog, a hummingbird, and a bear.

He seems bitter about something. At what, I couldn't begin to wager a guess. If it's the students, perhaps he should strongly consider another line of work. I'm not certain I want to inflict Principal Ivors on Nephele, to tell the truth.

[Lillian stops typing when she remembers that Lester had included a link in his previous reply and clicks on it. Recognizing the theme from a game her sister had sent her for Christmas last year, she starts giggling.]

Good one, Lester. :)

Huh. I am rather interested by the sheer variety of these fairies. Personae? Many animal forms, I see. Hmm. As close as a hummingbird may be, I suppose those who look more blatantly like fairies are not exactly common.

Is that what he seems like? He most certainly does not seem friendly if anything at all. True. I do not know if he would believe his own eyes if he saw the fairies.

Oh, I'm glad you recognized it. I was uncertain whether or not it would make any sense.

It is an interesting trend among them. One of the girls had a humanoid spirit like mine only its legs seemed to be made of metal, almost like a sculpture, but they were really sharp. I've never seen anything quite like it.

To me, he does. At least, I like to think there's a reason behind why he's a jerk to everyone. It's possible he wouldn't. People do strange things in order to cope sometimes.

I did. :) Emily sent me a copy of that game for Christmas last year. I really enjoyed it.

I would be interested in seeing what everyone's fairies look like. They're all so interesting. And if the term "persona" is synonymous with "mask," I would be curious to know if there is a correlation between their abilities and forms with, well, us.

That is unfortunate. Life should be enjoyed more.

That is how I came in contact with the game. I borrowed it from Carla, or rather, she told me to play it and so I did. What happened in actuality is I watched while she played. I could gather the evidence but when it came to the courts I admit I had no idea what to say.

I'm curious to know the relationship, too. I can't speak for anyone else but I don't mind showing you mine sometime if I can figure out to call her. :)

It is. There's a lot of beauty in the world, as well as ugliness.

I was the opposite. :) I played it all the way through but knowing what to say in the courts came more easily to me than knowing where to look for things.

That would be nice. I should show you my fairy at some point as well. It will probably be better to see it if you really will paint it.

I enjoy the beauty of the world very much. The park is always a good place to start.

Is that so? Then perhaps we will make a good team if we attempted to play the game together.

Lester

((ooc: actually they might really make a good team. Put his observational skills and her ability to put things together, they might make a really really good team))

It would make it easier for me to see it. Do you think it would be willing to pose?

The park is a lovely place. :) There's a spot under a shade tree on the school lawn that I'm pretty attached to. :)

Perhaps we would! I would love to try. :)
