EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEh. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. HAPPY DANCES ALL AROUND.

MCM just checked the data, and apparantly people have added over 47500 suggestions to the database. That’s kinda huge. So I did a happy dance, actually more than one. And ran around the building looking for people to hug because I’m so excited. I am totally psyched.

Not that we’re being overrun in the Cafe by people, but the people who are brave enough to come and check us out are all really enthusiastic, and I’ve had a couple of really interesting conversations. In the Vooruit, the people working here are also totally on board, and it’s so nice to not feel like a total lunatic for doing this. Not that we aren’t lunatics, after all even if we weren’t before, it’s obvious that the lack of sleep turned us al into insane crazy monkeys.

But now I’m like a bouncing monkey with cimbals, you know the one from Toy Story 3, but without the evilness?

Yups, this is pretty much how I look at the moment.

So yeah, since I currently only hear “WOOOHOOOWHOOOWHOOOWHOOOOO” in my head, I can’t really give any insightful insights into the outlines. I’ll leave that over to you guys!

Chapter 35

Koen is at Vooruit with a black eye when Valerye arrives. In the end, she has to know too. It’s what she does. He gets her up to speed and they head off to fix the problem. It goes a little wrong, but they pull it off.

Chapter 36

The outline is that there is no outline!

Chapter 37

City is on fire, Jasmine is waiting to escape as looters take hold. If Aziz leaves her, she’ll be killed for sure… but if he doesn’t get Khouri, she won’t go. Looters break in and attack, but are stopped by Boulos. Says he’s got this under control, go get the old man. Aziz makes his way to the mosque, pushes past the panicking crowds, finds Khouri, who still refuses to go, even as he scribbles madly. Aziz says Khouri is crazy. Transcribing this wall is meaningless, it’s pointless, it has no significance. Khouri says this is what they DO, but Aziz won’t hear it. “It doesn’t matter one bit. You can clap your hands and feel as self-important as you like, but the truth of the matter is this: until you write it down in the Archive, it doesn’t really exist, Khouri! It doesn’t MATTER!” Khouri tells him he doesn’t have to stay, and Aziz says that’s good, because he’s leaving, and the entry for Khouri will read: “He was an idiot who couldn’t see past his obsessions.”

Chapter 38

Taking stock of things: three little quests that say nothing about anything other than Bruno abusing his position. Can’t make sense of it. What was he doing? What was he trying to do? Maybe it DOES have something to do with the plastic cup. Realize they’ll never know for sure. Say their goodbyes, and just as Koen is walking away, the office explodes!

Explosions!!

Also, in other news, MCM is back on track. It was a little scary today, but it looks like he’ll make it in time. Awesome.

People are also very enthusiastic. For instance, my mother; was so excited the computer picked her answer, she took a screenshot of it so she had proof.

See you later, I need to go out and celebrate a bit.
