Well, I'll be drafting a quick and dirty response. I'm stablished in her blog anyway so I could post without raising suspicion.

[Pixelmage]

Quick draft to stablish presence:

Dear Juliet. I'm afraid that the book is indeed related to you and Romeo. To our world, your Verona is considered a "fictional work". A world we interact with through that book that appears blank to your eyes. Other outsiders like yourself have encountered that same discovery and my friends and I are working with you and these "fictional characters" for some time now.
Rest easy, the due explanations are on their way even as I type this quick message. There is no reason for you to be scared of you discovery.

Yay/Nay?

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

I think just clarify your language a little to explain that everyone like her has found "their" books to be blank, and this is nothing to be alarmed about.
But I think that's good, Pixel...

[Pixelmage]

Posted. Now to elaborate a more satisfactory and complete response...

[Pixelmage]

Sicon's speech is up. Good thing I didn't get ninja'd by trying to write the speech myself.

[Sicon112]

Juliet has found her book (and, naturally, can't read it).

This probably requires the usual careful handling.

Done and done.

[YankeeWhite]

Just a heads up, I'm going to link her to the R&J wiki in a little bit.

[Sicon112]

Just a heads up, I'm going to link her to the R&J wiki in a little bit.

Out of curiosity, why? Just in case she wants to look? Makes sense.

[Sicon112]

Also....

This.

What.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
WHAT THE HELL?
(I didn't play the video, because I don't have sound right now. But something tells me it would NOT be explanatory.)
Seriously, what is the deal with this troll?

Yeah, to assist with her research. And I'm curious to see how she'll react if she does read the wiki.

Yeah. Me too, a bit. I might have linked it myself, but I wasn't really in contact with anyone else, so I figured I'd just leave it out so no one complained.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

I figure it can't do any harm, at any rate.
Even if Juliet were the type to freak out, she'll realize that she and Romeo have both changed so much by now that it's not POSSIBLE for their ending to happen the way it did anymore.

Romeo has found a job, and is going to move to Vanessa's. Teh bro got srs.
...this is actually bad. I have no idea how we'll be able to move him without metaphorical bloodshed.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

So Romeo got a job.

He's also moving in with Vanessa-- looks like they're serious.

Also, he's working in a bookstore. So... this should be interesting.

...ninja'd by Dryu. But he's got a link!

If you can't beat him, join him!

[Dryunya]

I'VE ALWAYS HAD A LINK.

[Sicon112]

I'VE ALWAYS HAD A LINK.

And also been at war with East Asia?

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

That's ridiculous, Sicon. You know Dryu's always been at war with Eurasia.

Fun fact: the mods' edits don't increase the edit quantity. So if I edit something, no one but the other mods will ever know. Sleep tight.
Back on track. Are we going to do something about the situation? It's getting pretty serious. I still think that they may actually reunite with Juliet at the end (senses... tingling), but for now, the situation is pretty crappy for us. We may have to fictionalize him by force if it stays this way.

I think ultimately, it's a big mistake to assume, at any given moment, that everything is going to stay the way it currently is. I vote we do nothing but observe. If the moment comes for us to get involved, we will know. But there is no real need for us to get involved at the moment, so I say we don't.

[Qara-Xuan Zenith]

From everything Mr A's said, plus the fact that being together KILLED them in the original, I really don't think R and J have to be more than just friends in the refic. The only potential problem is Romeo's specific emotional tie to Vanessa; for that, we'll just have to rely on Romeo being... Romeo (as I've discussed earlier in this thread).

ALSO: Dryu, the original POSTER will know when you change it.
EVERYONE: If Dryu edits your post, IMMEDIATELY EDIT IT NOTING THAT HE DID. Even if he edits that out, it will then show that the post's been edited. (Or just edit your posts several times to make it look like he did. )
...just kidding, Dryu, I'm on YOUR side now.

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

He may have edited one of mine here. I edited it again after my realization that it was edited, but I din't associate it to him until just now.

[Dryunya]

Please discuss my tyrannical nature in the offtopic. We are cluttering the thread now.

[Genndy Oda C.O.G.]

Sorry.
So, I'm pretty sure Romeo is going to run into his book pretty soon, so do we just tell him to talk to Juliet, or do we give him a Wikipedia link, too?

[Pixelmage]

We already gave the link to Juliet and Romeo jumped in telling her to not read because it was a joke in bad taste. So I guess we can assume that at least he did read it.
