I suppose so, especially with shipped ones. I wish to cause a little bit of drama.

lume says aenct. AE NYT? alter ego new york city? wot?  

pFFT-

okay, so! this might be a little bit weird for you, but im gonna make it so your "good" side is on the defenders and your "bad" side is on the rogues. 

it kind of does make sense, looking back- geminis are known for being two faced, so that's fun.

and yes ofc ill put you in as g3m1n1's friend oh that is amazing- 

so, just as an overview: 

your "dream" side is what is in the beginning of the book. it's on the side of the defenders. 

your "nightmare" side is on the side of the rogues, it may or may not make a few appearances in the end or so of the book. 

imma go ahead and say your nightmare side cant remember a lot of the dream side's things, and the dream side cant remember the nightmare side's things.  

oh dear that sounds very similar to a certain homeless green blob- 

whelp, it's much better character development anyways. plus it adds the fun amount of drama to the book.  

so! spirit of dreams and nightmares, ooh this is gonna be so fun. 

oh, the chaos imma cause...

tysm for the character, this is gonna be so fun to write.  

agh! Im so sorry, the post must have not come through- admins, why was half of my post deleted?

Welcome To The Computer

Ghost of Honeybee's PoV

-----------------------

Being a swarm of bees is hard. Especially when it's lunch break, and one of them is shouting at the others to call a HQMEETING, and the others just really want berries. But we have to work together to fix problems. 

Problem-fixing. There was..a lot of that to be done in The Computer. I and my team of Defenders are in charge of The Computer- meaning we have to do mainteniance, wire fixing, cleaning, everything. 

Right now, I was zooming off to another broken wire. I float under an archway, into a tall, medieval-style building, flicking open a trapdoor, diving into the cavern it opened up, and closing the trapdoor behind me.

I sigh. Of course. The Weather Maintanees are aiming for a pay raise- they were creating all sorts of harmful weather in the electronics- water, rain, hail, snow, sometimes even storms. I carefully fly around the snow piles that have been created- snow, ice, and water hurts us ghosts- and finally reach a lime green portal. 

It's glowing, pulsing, almost like it's alive. Framed by blackstone, it looks like something that belongs in an evil castle. Sagittarius would probably like it. 

I curse myself for thinking about Sagittarius. Now I feel guilty for accidently killing Capricorn. It was an accident...I kind of miss Sagi, but I soon forget about her as I am zapped to Nerd's house- a tall, roomy, fantasy-style cabin. I immediately spot the broken wire- but no Nerd. 

Panicking, I send out ghostly bees, hoping that Nerd is in one of the rooms. I slip into a few bees' minds- nothing. 

It's then that a neon yellow sticky note catches my attention. I draw back in my bees, and pluck the note off of the hardcover book it's firmly pressed on. 

"Hey Honeybee, I had to go run to get some of the HQ Magic Supplies, I'll be back soon, give me a call if you need anything. ~Nerd" 

I sigh in relief, fixing the wire with the magic I stored up earlier. The wire looked...burnt. Probably just an overheating problem, I’ll get Nerd on that later. I feel my energy draining as I carefully pick my way out of the house, and onto the nearby streets. 

I slowly float to the subway and onto the train station. 

"Bakerloo, HQ!" I shout. 

Bakerloo, the fastest train in the world, zooms up, and I hop on him. 

"HQ, correct?" 

"Correct." 

As Bakerloo zooms to HQ, I feel rather nice. It's fun zooming at this high of a speed through all these mazes. 

I turn to the side and watch the buildings fly by, my feet dangling off the edge of Bakerloo's top. 

Soon, we reach the HQ, and I hop off, waving goodbye to Bakerloo. 

"Thank you!"

"You're most welcome." 

I float into HQ, humming some random song I heard playing on the speakers earlier today. I head towards a PC-looking thing, sitting down in the chair and spinning the keyboard to face me. 

JOURNAL ENTRY NO. 1

Dec. 24th

Broken wire near Nerd’s house. It was burnt, I’ll have to get Nerd on that later. Is it just the Computer overheating, or something worse? 

It’s then that Lumi walks in. 

“Another broken wire?” she asks, her tone glowing a concerned purple-blue. 

“It was burnt. Most likely just an overheating problem, I’ll get Nerd on that later.” 

Lumi’s glow turns more blue. “Are you sure? I stopped by Nerd’s house earlier today, and it was quite cold there.” 

Lumi pulls out a pad from a slot, and swipes to a photo. She shows it to me, zooming in on the wire. 

“It’s still smoking slightly. This was from the only camera we have- an hourly one. We got lucky.” 

“Do you have any footage?” 

Lumi swipes left on the pad, and frowns. “Recording was disabled. It looks like the camera either got disconnected or is broken.” 

I turn back to the keyboard.

Wire was smoking, Recording disabled. This reminds me too much of the last time the Rioters attacked...but they couldn’t have come again, we beat them last time. 

My communicator dings. I open it hesitantly. 1 new message from...Feli. 

we have problems at wifi, get here asap

“Lumi, please tell all people to report to HQ. I’ll be back soon.” 

Lumi nods, and goes off to the announcement system. I jump on Bakerloo and shout, “WIFI, NOW!”

Bakerloo zooms off, through tunnels and past towers, finally reaching the small, barren patch of land known as WiFi. 

I step off of Bakerloo, shouting a thank you, before heading into the gates of the WiFi room. 

When I’m able to get a good look at the WiFi connection, I gasp. 

The cable is burnt. Severed in two. Unless we get a new cable, there’s no traveling to the internet. No coming back. I mean, I can, but...that’s because I’m a rep. One of the Head Patrollers. The others can’t. 

It’s then that I remember the note from today morning. Nerd! She won’t be able to come back! 

Feli jumps up onto the WiFi platform, tail bristling. 

“Someone did this on purpose.” 

“No! The computer has to be overheating.” 

“No, Honeybee. I think you’re trying to avoid what we both know is happening.” 

I sigh. “You’re right.” 

A small slip of rippling silk comes floating down, and I see a shadow nearby. I pick up the silk, which is a flame ombre with hints of purple at the edges. 

There is scarily beautiful writing on the silk, in green, blue, purple, and yellow writing. 

Hello, old friend. 

Cryptic riddles were always my forte, don’t you think? 

Well, let’s put my skills to the test. 

Sometimes, it was never meant to be. 

Empires fall. 

Revolts arise. 

And the strange thing? 

The revolts always win.

Nothing is what it seems. 

<3 your old friend, Sagi

I begin to panic. Feli looks worried. 

“Rioters. Begin. Attack.” I manage to pant out. 

Feli just looks more confused. 

“Get me to HQ. Right. Now. I need to speak with dreamii.” 

“The tracks are broken.” says Feli, sighing with distaste. 

“We’re going to have to fly there.” 

Feli nods, looking slightly intimidated but also worried. 

“Well, we’d best hurry up.” 

Of course, that would be splendid! Thank you!
