NessoAsksThe team was organizing a table-top game night, and their resident AI, Nesso, asking if it could bring in a friend. The friend was identified as simply "Author".
"Nesso, you want to invite an author to the game?" Jacob asked.
::Yes::
"I think Nesso wants to invite OUR author to the game," Maggie responded. Some time ago, the team discovered they were characters in a sci-fi story. Some members of the team, like Maggie, were still coming to terms with that.
Some members, like Jacob, seemed to have accepted it out of the gate. "Oh - OH! Um, our author would know what we're all thinking. They wouldn't be an equal player."
"Maybe they could DM?" Reggie offered.
"Ooh - yeah. Nesso, what does the author say to that?" Jacob responded.
_/ I'd say that works for me /_
Everyone looked around the room, stunned. Jacob spoke first, "Did everyone have a voice in their head just now?"
Nods all around.
"Phew, good - really hoping it wasn't just me."
