Ask the Author! The Mythic Scribe's AMA

You're falling. Fast. It's dark too. You can't see anything. Pitch black everywhere, except for a little wink of light below you. It doesn't take long for you to reach it, possibly not long enough considering how small the light was. Someone might've sped up your descent. Suddenly you realize that though you've hit the bottom, the light is coming from absolutely nowhere. And the fall didn't give you a scratch. This is no ordinary place. As you walk around, you find that you're in an enclosed room with four walls. You can't see the place that you fell from. There's a ceiling. With a flash of light, something appears in front of you and the whole enclosure changes. Now the room is brightly lit with actual ceiling lights, the walls are a mint green, the furniture is a darker variation of that color and all of the parts that aren't fabric are a deep chestnut wood. Oh, and there's furniture now. Bookshelves line the walls to your side, windows covering the walls in front and behind you. Except they show wildly different scenes. The one in front is of a big city. The one behind is of a rural plain. And you're not alone.

Sitting behind the desk in front of you is a girl who looks like she's about nine or something. Adorable and short, but the glint in her eye paints a different picture compared to her innocent appearance. A teasing smile on her face, she says, "Welcome," before looking back at her laptop. As you look around even more, you see that your surroundings are definitely wrong. The bookshelves are normal, and so are the books that they hold, but the various picture frames strewn across the walls don't depict real people. They depict curiously anime-style drawings of characters with multi-colored hair. Multiple shelves are filled with video covers featuring some of the characters. The only photos of real people are actors and actresses from different TV shows and movies. The floor that you're standing on is seemingly filled with souls pounding on it, trying to escape. And the little girl is still smiling that evil smile, every once in a while scribbling something down with a quill. "You already know that this is no normal room. And you are not on Earth anymore. You. Are in the realm of the fangirl!"

At the last word, the souls trapped in the floor silently scream in agony. The girl is not bothered. "Don't worry about them. They're my pets. Do you want to see them?" Not paying attention to your answer, a pair of blonde twins emerge from the floor, shivering and terrified. The girl croons, "Don't worry darlings, you don't have to perform today." Then she sends them back into the floor, where they once again become translucent blobs with eyes. "All of them are here for my amusement. It's fantastic! They say I'm a bit... eccentric. A bit of a tyrant with my pets sometimes. But people say a lot of things. I do have to admit that they're kinda true though. Well, not kinda. They're true." Wherever she steps, the blobs avoid the spot, frantically shrieking silently. "But I suppose that you shouldn't come her yet. You're not ready. Maybe you should be introduced to me in surroundings that are in your world, hmm?"

A snap of her fingers and you're in a living room with a distinct black and white theme amongst the furniture. There's only one window filled wall this time, and it overlooks a dusty, big city. The language is foreign, not English. The girl has aged a couple of years, looking a lot different from the cutesy little girl in the realm of the fangirl. Still writing on a scroll with a feathered quill, she looks up and motions with one arm to the whole scene. "Well then. Ask away."

Okay okay, more bandwagon jumping! You know how it works, you ask me as The Mythic Scribe a question, I answer. If I feel like I can.

A massive Tyrannosaurus Rex smashes through the wall, spilling stout and the remains of whatever the heck it ate a short while ago everywhere across the glass roof of Shipping Hell.

"HOW DO SMALL PEOPLE LIKE YOU WORK?" it asks, staring at the waif incredulously through sunglasses perched beneath a backwards ballcap.

As she sees the wall crumble, the girl lets out a groan of disappointment at the mess. Nevertheless, she wastes no time in waving her hand and magic-ing the wall back together. "Housekeeper's going to have to take care of that. Hmph, good job, you made more work for a fifty-something year old woman. Amazing, I'll make sure to pass that on to her. That a massive tyrannosaurus rex made a mess of it, I'm sure she'll believe me."

Readjusting the glasses perched on her nose, the girl starts to answer the question posed to her. "We are quite amazing aren't we? Genes and metabolism make us this way. We work... BY MAGIC!"

A man in a long black cloak, a face mask that has crazy engravings on it, some strange armor that seems to be a mixture of half plate and scalemail armor, and a red crown on his head. This man steps through a portal as he says, "That makes lots of sense". He then stretches as he says, "So how do you scribes, scribe?".

"Hmph," she says at the cloaked individual's entrance. "Good to see that you didn't smash through my wall and make a mess of everything like some other people did... Harem King. And you're still not getting any of my disciples under your harems. Off. Limits."

She sets the quill down and looks over the scroll for a moment before deftly rolling it up and wrapping it up with a ribbon, handing it to one of the blobs that were trapped in her floor in the fangirl realm. "How do I scribe? I recount everything. Everything. When I scribe, I may not even know what I am writing about. But I can see everything that happens through what I scribe. Think... Henry from Once Upon a Time. But with more control. And more sight."

"Well I wasn't aiming for them. I just wanted some questions answered before I go back to my realm". He says this as he sits seemingly on air. He clears his throat as he says, "Well, I would like to know why you decided to scribe. It is always wonderful to learn of ones choices".

"Good." replies the Queen of Scribes, taking out another scroll, this time a blank one. "Why do I scribe? I was born into it. I am the leader of the scribes like my father and his father and his father before that. Now if you want to know why I write, that is a different story altogether. I'm a very creative person. I think up little stories and possibilities even based off of my own life, how this could turn out, or this, or what would make a good story from this is my life was a book... All of that. i write because I like to do it, I like it because it's an outlet for the aforementioned creativity, and it's fun. I couldn't imagine living without writing like I do right now, whether it's in rp or not."

The man nods as he says once she is done, "Well what do you like to write about?". He starts to flip in the air as he stares at the Queen of Scribes.

"Fantasy is quite nice. I find myself writing it the most. I always like some drama or action mixed in with it as well. I also love to plan out big big plots and stuff for mysteries or whatever, but those take a lot of time to do. Contemporary stuff is always hard for me to do because 90% of contemporary novels and such are romance-based, which is more my friend's forte rather than mine. Realistic stuff that's not contemporary is fun too though. You don't have to create as much as you do with fantasy and you know how people feel and all of that."

"Who, out of all these other users, is your favorite?". The man smiled under his mask as he said this. He thinks he already knows who she will say but he wants confirmation.

"None of them!" The girl dimples at the cloaked figure, looking like the picture of innocence. "But seriously? Asterisk or Natendo." All of a sudden, a thought comes to her, making her scramble to fix it. "Uh, I mean, Vox, definitely. Yeah, Vox, our almighty lord and savior. Yeah. Vox."
