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.

What made the whole thing even more surreal was when I looked up the book afterward, there were a bunch of reviews singing its praises. Like just enough that you don't think the author was bored and was writing them himself.

[ She considers that. ]
Well, that last part does sound sort of nice, actually. A lot of the time, that sort of fiction does sort of forget that people are still people. It just turns their deaths into something to be cool, while forgetting how devastating those sorts of losses can be.

These murder victims also get more characterization than any of the actual characters in the book.
