Due to time constraints and laziness and a computer who needs to delete files to get attention, the story is suddenly going to pick up the pace.

Freya was drinking her Ginger Beer, where we left her last time. As she drank it something came through the post, so she went to get it. It was a MYSTERIOUS ENVELOPE.

Freya: Open MYSTERIOUS ENVELOPE

You open the MYSTERIOUS ENVELOPE to find a disk and many sheets of paper written in archaic gobbledegook (which will be observed later). Had this been done with a TOTALLY AWESOME ANIMATION your Sprite’s face would have frowned and looked up into the sky and therefore into the depths of space in order to make an EPIC SCENE CHANGE.

Charlie: Narrate the TOTALLY AWESOME ANIMATION you failed to make.

The galaxies of our universe all revolve around larger galaxies and those around larger galaxies and those galaxies around larger galaxies until you get to the Incipisphere, where Skaia, the blue heart of our Universe resides. Let’s pay attention to the purple planet orbiting Skaia, shall we?

Reader: pay attention to purple planet.

This is Derse, and one day I need to upload all my Derse pictures because they are awesome. They shall be reused later. For now, admire Derse in all its industrial complexity. Industry? Is this cannon? Well, for reasons not-yet revealed it will become so. And what’s this? A factory belching smog? What’s inside? Metal work making golden ships, and little black chess people near vats of golden dye? Then, imagine if the camera from the TOTALLY AWESEOM ANIMATION zoomed in on a particular pipe, which wound its way to a dark space above one floor but below the next, the ceiling and roof of which are made with metal grids. Many cardboard boxes labelled Sburb Delta are packed in one corner, and a small chess person types merrily away on a typewriter in another. HACKER JACK paces the room, sometimes stopping in the centre to look at a laptop perched on another cardboard box. The Merry Typer is Currently Dead, as part of an illegal organisation who is not supposed to exist. He and Deadly Dodger and Huge Brute are all employees under Superior Spy, known on Earth as HACKER JACK because of his Pesterchum alias.

Before we can get well acquainted let us zoom out and visit the yellow planet’s moon.

Reader: Visit yellow planet moon.

This is Prospit’s moon. It’s very shiny and golden, and a residential district for the apparent industry down below on the planet. Let’s watch as it dramatically rotates into the looming blue of Skaia’s atmosphere. OH WHAT WANDERFUL IMAGES! A blue wizard in a column of wind, a golden figure surrounded by light and Hope, someone in a green robe looking worried at some HUGE cogs, like the cogs of time itself, a smooth carapaced individual kneeling before a queen in shadow, the ring on her finger in the foreground; gold with alternating white and black marbles on it. The visions were soon dashed as other clouds moved on a rather stormy weather front. And finally the viewer, not you dear reader but the watcher who is revealed by the AWESOME ANIMATION, sees herself with the power of matter and space itself at her fingertips.

Reader: Get dragged away from awesome to the bowls of the Earth.

Something with a bright pink eye awakens in the shadows, causing an earthquake in the hill it sleeps under, and chaos ensues in the countryside: grass becomes neon yellow and orange, trees explode apples everywhere and flowers grow out of the tires of a parked tractor. A little while away some mice in Someone’s roof become kingfishers, and then some shrews in another place became mice, then some kingfishers became shrews who fell into the stream with a series of plops.

It is at this point we very briefly meet Ella Gordon, who proceeds to wake up, express mild irritation at some items which fell off the shelf and then go downstairs for a snack, passing A WHITE GOLDFISH OF SOME IMPORTANCE on the way down.

We shall see that girl later. Now we’re gonna find out what’s happening with the other heroes and speed this up.

On a house up a really high and steep hill on the edge of a town, let’s call it HAMHEX, there lives a girl who describes herself thus;

I am a FEMALE HUMAN with a variety of INTERESTS, including READING, listening to MUSIC, and watching TELEVISION. I also tend to start PROJECTS, of which all are POSTPONED/UNFINISHED, like writing a BOOK, learning JAPANESE, and learning how to play the GUITAR. I find my imagination much more INTERESTING than the real world, and struggle to identify with the attitudes of some of the HUMAN RACE. I find it hard to LIE and attempt to avoid doing this by use of STRANGE LANGUAGE, however whenever I do have to lie I usually end up with feelings of GUILT, as I do when others have done things wrong. I have an interest in MEDICINE AND GENETICS and hope to take a course one day in either MEDICINE or BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES. I have a tendency towards OBSESSIONS, which can be either permanent or short-lived, depending. I tend to be very PEDANTIC and SARCASTIC, which can be rather annoying and unhelpful to those around me. However, I am LOYAL to those I consider my FRIENDS, and try to assist them when it is needed.

This is Katy Browning, and on her new shiny laptop she is able to talk on Pesterchum.

I SHALL UPDATE SOON WITH IMPORTANT UPDATE, AND I WILL EDIT THE END OF THIS.
