Two things: A notice and a recorded dream.

Journal Entry

Sender: Luca Balsa
To: Everyone
Subject: Received a strange note by paper bird.

To those who were previously in the Index: Has anyone else received a letter delivered in the form of a live paper bird? I don't mean to raise any alarms, but it said the Story Eater might have followed us here somehow. Perhaps we ought to inform everyone else about the fellow just in case?

To Eli Clark and anyone else who was invited to Orpheus Manor (Forgive me if I got the name of the place wrong): Looking through the above letter and my previous entries in this journal, I remembered something that might explain some discrepancies. It seems while my soul was in the Index, the Story Teller who brought me there put a copy of my soul in my original body. Which allegedly got pulled into a strange hunting game in which he was prey? I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this, but I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience my doppelganger may have caused.

Recorded Dream

Sender: Luca Balsa
To: Everyone
Subject: Dream recording

[ Luca's in an old mansion... Abandoned, by the looks of it. There's dust and cobwebs everywhere and the sensation that the whole place may collapse if he stepped on a floorboard funny. But he knows there's something for him here.

What might be here? He's not sure, but it could bring a revelation and was rightfully his. He passes by a large portrait of a man whose face had melted into the canvas, paint dripping down the canvas and further obscuring the figure. There's a neglected book case nearby... This may be it? Luca starts taking books off the shelves and starts thumbing through them. Notebook after notebook, but it's hard to make out the scribbles on the pages. There's a copy of some adventurous novel placed among the journals, something about a man lost at sea...

A loud noise interrupts Luca's perusal. Footsteps! Someone must be here with him!

He closes the book and shoves it under his arm. He must not be seen here! He can hear his heart beating in his chest as he makes for the window, knowing full well that going through the door could bring him closer to the other fellow. The room seems much larger than he first imagined it to be, but he makes it through the window just as he heard someone opening the door...

It's a short fall. He lands on his side, and wakes up. ]

I see. So you are implying the audience chooses what movie to watch in the big theater? I imagine having a large group of people decide might be chaotic unless things were decided by a vote.

[seemagicshit]

Well, where I'm from there's this small theater with only like one or two screens. What happens is the place will say "we're showing this movie at this time" and then if you WANT to go watch it, you pay for a ticket and go watch.

In bigger places, they could have 10 screens and each one has a different movie. So yeah, you can decide what you want to watch but you're also with other people who also want to watch the same thing so it's not so bad.

[allegedprisoner]

Fascinating! But is it just a moving image or is there sound incorperated somehow?

[seemagicshit]

Oh no, there's sound too. You get the whole experience. The cinema we all went to was called Seagull Cinema. My favorite movie there was something called RoboCook.
