Color

Something occurred to me while chatting with some NaNoers in-world.

Colors are thought to have meaning, and to tell about your personality when worn.

IRL, I usually wear lots of grey and soft blues. This (supposedly) means that I like to blend in and am calm (or seek to be calm). According to this website, it also means that I come off as uncaring. Hadn't realized that. I also wear very relaxed clothing, and cover most of my body regardless of the weather. Insecure? Maybe. Quiet? Hell yes.

ISL (in SL), I wear lots of red and black (mostly red). Note that red is the boldest of colors, and is recommended to be worn for interviews. It says the person is energetic and powerful. Do I want to seem that way? Well, yes. But it wasn't intentional... I didn't think, "What color will make me seem powerful?" And black seems powerful as well, sort of the period at the end of red's sentence.

Anyway, that's all my random commentary.

Amrys's letters

Amrys keeps letters written on scrap paper stashed in the back of her locker.

Мама,

I hope you have not been worried. Maybe there is good reason, but I must assure you, that I am well. The past... nearly five years! Have been almost a blur. This is the first I've been able to write. I hope I can find a post to Новгород.

Maybe I should start at the beginning, but I think for now it is better to explain where I am. I am in a strange city called Midian. It is on an island; I don't know, exactly where. I am living with a group of cats, who call themselves ,,The Catwalkers." This name, I think, is because they own the catwalks over the city--it is our territory. This city is so crowded, but that is partly because up high, there are so few. It seems that many humans fear heights! And there are many humans here.

I am learning much. Did you know, that we speak two languages? I did not know language meant more than just the means of communication. They are called ,,Russian" and ,,English." Russian is the words like ,,кошка"; English is words like "cat."

Right now I am training for a job. I get paid перввй раз today. I think I will not explain this job until I tell you about before I arrived here. It is a good job, не беспокоись! It does involve self-defense training. My trainer is another Catwalker named Beast. She is scary, but also a good friend. We--Beast, myself, Ravi, Jes, Dazy, and a few other Catwalkers--went camping earlier this week. We behaved as kittens, and that is part of what made me decide to write.

Ешё раз, я прошу тебя, что не беспокоишься. I am happy and about as safe as one can be in such a city as this. I have a warm and safe home, good friends, and soon I will have a well-paying job in security.

I leave a space for when I find out if we have a proper address. I'm sorry, I know you must have been worried. Пиши меня! Будь здорова!

Котёнка твоя,
Амрысь
