Note

hello there, mi amigos. first, a couple of ground rules. 1. please for the love of christ himself do not use the "next chapter" or "previous chapter" buttons WHATSOEVER. progress through this fic by using the links provided, whether through hyperlinked text or ===> 2. there will be tiny hiatuses on this fic for every subsection of it. the first forty-one chapters are a conclusive beginning to the fic, but by no means the end of the fic. when this thing is through, trust me, it's gonna have hundreds of chapters. 3. this fic will probably have different medias dispersed through it. they should all be working right. if not, tell me. please. that's about it for now! thank you very much for reading. (btw this is like... the longest authors notes i've ever written?? damn.) here's my personal blog. here's my writing blog.

EB: rose?
EB: hey, why weren’t any of you at school today?
EB: you guys didn’t get murdered in that creepy old house, did you?
EB: haha, you better not have left me!
EB: rose?
TT: John.
TT: I apologize. I never intended to worry you.
EB: rose! boy, am i ever glad to hear from you.
EB: are jade and dave alright? they weren’t at school today, and they’re not answering my messages.
TT: Jade and Dave?
TT: They’re fine, John.
TT: It would serve you well to stop worrying.
TT: I am positive they wouldn’t want you to stress over their whereabouts. I can assure you they are in tip-top shape.
EB: well, that’s a big relief!
EB: how was the investigation?
TT: Marvelous. You really learn things about yourself and your tolerance on such journeys.
TT: I implore you attend the next venture.
EB: maybe, if it’s not too spooky.
TT: No promises.
TT: But I do mean it when I say this, John.
TT: Do not stress about their whereabouts.
EB: wait, whose whereabouts?
TT: Precisely.
TT: Now, do not let this be a burden upon you. I’m not upset with you for not coming this weekend. You never were a follower, were you? Always a leader. I praise you for it.
TT: Take care, John.
