Giving a bunch of teens the ability to spy on each other like Sims characters has some creepy side effects. Fortunately, unlike most of the fan fiction, this story isn’t too crazy about that kinda thing. Andrew has some class. But despite this Dave is still a bit creepy about Rose’s privacy. At least about her Journals. Earlier Dave had convinced John to send him a copy of the item code for Roses Journals so he could “get his snoop on”. So now he is doing that.

One of the two book’s titled MEOW. It’s filled with the letters M, E, O, and W much like the graffiti on Roses walls. This is apparently related to DNA. We code our human DNA with codons. The second journal contains Wizard fanfiction. Rose supposedly hates wizards. I tried to read this but it’s rough. Rose’s love of the thesaurus made this written work as thick and inaccessible as a pit of hot magma. Tossing this into the Hemmingway app made my screen turn pure red. From what I can gather it’s a scene of 12 wizards looking at evidence of some sort of crime. One suggests eating a snack but gets denied. Dave has about the same difficulty. He decides to use his juice stained SBURB beta as a bookmark. It has no use to him now but that beta will somehow end up going to Jade.

Dave checks in on Rose. She is burning her original copy of the MEOW book. She was told to do this by the old gods from the furthest rings. The told her to destroy the book. Dave seems to want to assume she is just insane. But they are both currently living inside of a video game where this kind of thing could be very real. She then questions how Dave knows about what is in her books. Dave tosses John under the bus, claiming John was snooping on Roses stuff. (Bruh). Rose doesn’t quite buy this but doesn’t seem to care. It seems she actually likes wizards but doesnt like that her mother likes them.

Rose tells Dave that he is the “Prince of the moon” and the gods want to talk to him. He just needs to be less distracted and try looking into the sky without his shades for once. His reaction to that is odd silence.

Davesrpite then also speaks to Rose. He has some knowledge of what Rose is experiencing having been in the future. But he mentions that she didn’t burn that book in his timeline. She mentions she has now seen some of the future as a result of waking up in Derse. The timeline has changed and now the book needed to go. They agree the Gods are usually right though Dave’s terrified of them. This is why we were silent on the subject. Davesprite mentions he could hear the god sing and choose to drown them out. Given these are Lovecraftian horrors I can assume they are capable of driving people mad.
