Clara: Same here. Not fun. Why do authors do this to us? Why can't we live normal lives? Andrew: Because we're characters, and characters exist only for the sake of the story. Clara: Characters are people, too.

To Clara *Why wouldn't you want to be a princess? I always wished I was. Or I wanted a prince to turn up. Being the long lost daughter of a lord is almost as good though. And Finnis is almost as good as a prince.* to Andrew * May I try some of that? It looks good.* *Hi Skylar, I'm from the western mountains. In Silvinia.* Skylar: Silvinia? Where is that? *To Skylar* "I'm Lyra. Glad to meet someone from another world who hates these sessions as much as I do." {Note from author: Lyra is pronounced LEE-ra} *To Peter* "I'm sure I'll get plenty used to this room, and the characters in it, too. At least it isn't like the last room I got stuck in with a lot of other characters. No offense to the - *bows* - delightful characters in my book, but most of you seem more civilized than... some of them are. Except for that comment about dragons. *frowns* Do you realize how many dragons you just offended? You'd better not wind up in my world." To Swithin: "You look like a lost child. Trust me, I've seen a lot of lost children in the past few months."
Skylar: It's my first time in a "chat room" like this, but I've learned to be wary of anything Era, or Misty, or whatever she's calling herself now, has had a hand in. *frowns and fingers the hilt of her dagger*

Clara: Characters are people, too. Peter: *to Clara* I agree. Characters should be able to live their own lives the way they want to. No interfering from authors.

Lyra: Well, I'm not really a child in my world any longer either, so no big surprise there. You're about the same age as the young men I typically fight with, except that they would be plotting grand duels complete with fantastical lines, playing pranks, or quietly interacting with other people. *raises an eyebrow* You don't appear to be doing any of the above. *shrugs* Anyway, I'm Lyra, from The Academy. I connect with all animals, plants, and substances, meaning that I can shapeshift into anything and I can understand anything. Now it's your turn to tell something about yourself. Or somebody else's turn, I guess.
Swithin: Lyra. *bows slightly* It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Swithin. *pauses for a second and then shrugs* *looks at her again* What do you mean by "connect"?Lyra: A pleasure to meet you as well. *pause* By "connect" I mean that I can mentally communicate with, turn into, and aid anything - from anywhere. So, if I wanted to, I could turn myself into a dragon right now. Or I could talk with a dragon. *tilts head, waits - and then laughs* Procyon says hi. He also says that I'd better be done soon or he's going to break the room and take me back home. I told him that this is an enchanted room and I can't leave. *rolls eyes* But anyway, I could also mentally help any dragon - or any other creature, substance, etc., etc., etc. - from here. If a dragon from my world was in trouble, I would probably faint, and I would be there instead, only invisible. *waves hand* Whatever. It's hard to explain, especially because I had the dubious honour of being the only half-Human in history to have this gift. Go figure.

Clara: Wait, what? Oh, right. Your author's another one of my book's "beta readers" so she knows how it ends. We're from part four. We don't know how it ends yet. Andrew: That's why she's in this mood right now. Adel: My what? I don't know what you're talking about. What's an author? I must have misunderstood you. I though you had said you'd beaten the dragon lady. You mean you haven't yet? To Skylar: Silvinia is where I'm from. It's part of what they call the new lands. I don't know why. We've been there over 400 years.

Clara: No, we haven't defeated her yet. I said that it's expected of us, not that it has already happened. And authors are people who write stories about characters. If you're in this room, you're a character, and you have one.
Andrew: You are determined to disillusion everyone in this room, aren't you?
Clara: Yep. *To Peter* AGREED! We should be just LEFT ALONE!!
Andrew: Except for the slight detail of we might cease to exist ...

Adel: You mean I'm a person in a story. I always wished I was. The girls in stories always end up happy. I suppose this proves I really am Lady Adelaide. I wonder if I can convince Liesl now. My sister won't believe me.

Skylar: *to Alfhere* Which one do you go by, Alfhere, Oliver, or brat? *to Adel*I'm Skylar. From Aerents. Alfhere: *grins* Usually Alfhere, though people in half-way rooms like this often pick 'brat.'
((Alfhere is a little confused... None of my characters are aware that they are characters. I just have all of them unaware of me. ))

Clara: We have been, multiple times now, if you count the character chat rooms we've been in. It's disorienting, that's what it is. This room? I think it's somewhere on the internet, from what I can tell.
Andrew: Even despite your injury, good for you.
((Clara and Andrew are pretty self-aware characters, especially when they're on-line.))

Peter: *shrugs* I'd mainly like the climax to be over so I can go back to my farm and not sleep in a room with fifteen other guys. You know 'East or west home is best.'

Adel smiling at them: I wonder what the end of my story will be like. I think this is still the beginning. It's been really exciting so far. I've met the most wonderful person ever. I've gotten away from my supposed mother and gone to a festival. I even got rescued from horrible bandits.

Andrew: She does ... Clara: I DO NOT!!! Andrew: She just doesn't want to admit it. Anyways, the book written about us is divided into five parts. I'm from the end of part five, she's from the middle of part four, so I'm from further along in the story.

Procyon is y... a dragon? *doesn't want to overload her with questions, so doesn't ask about the half-human part* Lyra: Procyon isn't necessarily a dragon, but he connects with dragons. And snakes. And storms. And any extremely powerful, raging winds, above ground or below. So I can connect with him, too, sort of. Typically I don't turn into my friends, though... inconvenient. It also feels like intruding. And the Captain, our trainer, says that you shouldn't ever turn into other people, because they turn into you. Unfortunately, that once I chose to turn into Procyon, so that I could more easily connect with the crazy storm-girl I was fighting. Needless to say, everyone was sure that he was going to kill me on multiple levels. *smothers laugh behind hand* Fortunately, I got Sirius to talk him out of it. Don't even ask who Sirius is. No, he's not a character from a stupid Harry Potter book - he's named after his dad, the star.

Adel: Okay, that's confusing. Hey look! One of the doors opens and a tall young man dressed in earthy colours with brown hair almost to his shoulder steps though. He is armed with a sword and a bow. "It's my friend Finnis. You must meet him." she rushes over towards him.

Adel to Clara: You said that you'd been pulled out of your own world. What's that like? Do you know what world this place is in? Alfhere: *raises his hand a bit, turning to Adel* I know. It's in a sort of half-world. In between worlds, you might say.

Finnis: It is nice to meet you. I have no idea what you are talking about though. How did you know m- Oh, I see now. My friend Maid Adel is here.
Adel: Not Maid Adel, it's lady, remember. How did you get here? I must introduce you to my new friends. This is Andrew. He's a prince. and that's Clara. She's a water princess. She says we are in a story. Finnis: Pleased to meet you.
