Hi. It's Kitty.
[ She gives an awkward little wave to the camera. She feels ridiculously uncomfortable posting about this right now, and it shows; she looks anxious and displeased. But - ]
I know there was a bit of talk of having a birthday party for me today, but it's been cancelled. For...rather obvious reasons. So just - if you were going to come, do stay home. [ Then, with a quick attempt at some comforting levity: ] Spend the time you would have at my party finding a good cause, and then when all of this is over with, volunteer with them.
[ Okay. Her attempt at a smile fades, and then she continues on: ]
Anyway. That's not...quite it. There've been a few people who've gone. Simon Newton, for one, and John Mitchell. And just recently, John Mandrake. [ This last...She does not look happy about that. ] And I know sometimes people come back without memories, so if you find them back, and they've forgotten something, please let me know. I think - they might not know to contact me, if they lose memories, so I'd like to know if they return.
[ Translation: "Mandrake was my blood enemy, but now we're friends, and won't it just be my luck if he comes back forgetting that second part."
Her next attempt to shake off her gloom looks like almost a physical effort. She just about twitches like a cat shifting its attention. ]
Anyway. While we're avoiding getting each other ill, why don't we do something to keep our spirits up? Has anyone read those books about the vampires falling in love? Billy gave me one, and they are bloody ghastly, aren't they? So, go on, then, tell me about the absolute worst book you've ever read.

Why can't you read chapbooks and pulp magazines like the rest of us?
no subject
[ She wrinkles her nose. Talking about books is good and distracting. ]
Chapbooks are dreadful. Books don't get good until they've got at least a hundred pages to them.

Yeah, it is.

Do you think there are magicians in A Tale of Two Cities?
no subject
I've never heard of A Tale of Two Cities.
no subject
Are there books without magicians where you come from?
no subject
Car repair manuals. That's about it.
[ And then, a little shrug - ]
There've also been societies that haven't had magicians in them. We're definitely not allowed to read any of their literature, though.

Yeah. It's ridiculously dumb.
