Hi! I'm Felicia, I'm Peter's sister. It's nice to meet you!

Her handwriting is almost the same as the notebook's itself, if somewhat more economical in flourishes. She doesn't literally dot the is with hearts but she has the handwriting of the sort of person who would, given half a reason.

Hi, Felicia! It's nice to meet you too. Goodness, how many people are here? Peter must have a lot of friends. ...I guess one friend and one sister isn't a lot by normal standards and it's just that I have a strange perspective because of being a notebook.

She giggles.

He does, actually, he's kind of popular. There's Vivian and me here plus his friends Marcus and Gabriel, and he has a lot of other friends but I think they're not the kinds of friends he wants to invite to a secret meeting about his magic notebook.

Oh! Then I was right but for the wrong reasons! Neat.

"You're right, she is very cute. ...it? It talks like a girl notebook."

Permalink

"You have no idea. As in, you actually, literally, really have no idea how much this is a girl notebook, even if you take this into account."

Permalink

"Well but is it a 'she'?"

Permalink

"I have only been talking to the notebook in second person so I don't actually know what pronouns the notebook uses."

Permalink

It seems like my silly brother has forgotten to ask you your pronouns, so, what are they? I'm she/her and so is Vivian and the other three are all he/him.

Permalink

(Well that's not straightforwardly true anymore but he'll deal with that later.)

Permalink
I think it's sensible to use "it" for me because I am a notebook and sensible to use "she" for me because I am a very feminine notebook, but I don't have strong feelings about it either way.
Permalink

Okay! I think I'll use she! ♡

Permalink

"Alright, we're convinced—"

Permalink

"No we're not, give me that."

Permalink

I'm gonna give you to Gabriel now, okay?

Gabriel had reached for the notebook but she pulled it away from him because she has manners.

Permalink
Okay! ♡
Permalink

Now she hands Gabriel the notebook.

And Gabriel promptly turns around and hunches over to hide whatever he's writing from sight. If this is a prank then it'll fall apart once Peter can't see what they're writing anymore.

"Trust, but verify," he mumbles.

Permalink

"Oh that's smart yes."

Permalink

"You're both chumps," Vivian mutters. "This is clearly YA fantasy and you're behaving like it's an SCP."

Permalink

"It could still be me pranking you guys," Peter argues. "Besides it is kind of wilder than YA fantasy. Also it breaks all known rules about how a lawful physics-based universe should work."

Permalink

Marcus and Felicia look at each other and roll their eyes in unison.

Permalink

"If you're pranking us you still have magic, you're just being an asshole about it," Vivian points out.

Permalink

"It could be a tech prank somehow! I thought it was one, at first."

Permalink

Meanwhile Gabriel is ignoring them and writing:

Hello, I'm Gabriel. I'm pretty convinced already but just in case, can you tell me something Peter wouldn't know that I could verify? Like what, I don't know, the capital of Nigeria is? Or something else you can think of, maybe you're an AI that would know these answers or something, I can't rule out that you're powered by ChatGPT. No offense.
