Day 282 of random Mark images

Anyone remember the mystery of Harris Burdick? It’s this book by the author of Jimanji and the Polar Express where he came across 14 illustrations from a publishing friend with that was sent in from this guy named Harris Burdick along with a one sentence description for each and was never heard from again afterwards.

The whole backstory ended up being fake, but the whole legend lives on in schools. I had to do two different writing assignments based on these in school, one in 6th grade and one in 8th grade.

In 6th grade, I chose The Harp, and from what I remember, I made it about a peasant who got chosen to go on an adventure with King Arthur and his knights to find a mystical harp. I can’t find it anywhere in my old school accounts google docs, so I’m assuming it was a paper assignment. Either way, I remember not really liking it after I wrote it and reading it out to the class like everyone else did. I also vaguely remembered being embarrassed by it so maybe it’s a good thing I can’t find it? Anyways, in 8th grade, I ended up choosing Oscar and Alphonse. I could actually find this one in my school account and I recently read through it and still enjoyed the concept and might expand on it one day. The basic concept is that it takes place in an alternate universe where animals can communicate with certain humans without the use of speech. The two examples I brought up are birds chirping in Morse Code and caterpillars wriggling around to form letters(the one more important to the story).

Moral of the story: I am cursed to always gravitate towards characters named Alphonse.

Posting it under the cut because this post is already long.

So here it is. I checked the word count and it’s actually about the length of a full length fic from me. I apologize for all the possible cringe, again I was in 8th grade when I wrote this.

Oscar and Alphonse

She knew it was time to let them back. The caterpillars softly wriggled in her hand, spelling out “goodbye”.

Seattle, Washington; Centri 2.03a

Two caterpillars were in the forest and were minding their own business when a Black-throated Sparrow swooped down and grabbed the smaller of the two. The other, bigger one, wriggled as fast as it could to a Northern Mockingbird and wriggled out the word “help” with its body.

Using Morse Code the bird chirped “what’s wrong?”

The caterpillar explained that his friend has been taken by a robin and needed help. The bird decided to help the caterpillar save his friend.

The bird chirped out, “Who's your friend?”

“Alphonse, Alphonse Sequoia” the caterpillar wriggled frantically.

“OK, and you are,” The bird chirped.

“Oscar Wilde,” the caterpillar answered quickly.

“Calm down, we’ll find him, Oscar,” said the bird trying to calm down the frantic Oscar.

“Promise?”

“Promise.”

Gladly, Alphonse was found and could live to see another day with his friend.

Nicole Juliet Arbour thought her family would have a normal life in Seattle, Washington. It looked like a major U.S. city, grey and white skyscrapers looking like they were touching the sky, people were going place to place like it’s their last day on the planet Earth, the smell of car and bus exhaust probably consumed every square inch of the place, and there was always construction every other block. There were many differences between Seattle and Nicole’s old home in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Most importantly were the country, the people, and the world-famous Sky Needle.

“America doesn’t feel any different,” Nicole complained.

“Sweety it isn’t going to feel different. We aren't going to Africa or the North Pole or anything,” her mother, Elizabeth Arbour, said jokingly.

“Why are we even going to Seattle in the first place?” Nicole asked

“I found a job where I wanted, Nicole,” Anthony Arbour, her father, answered reluctantly.

“Why is it taking so long to get there? I thought we lived not even a day away from Seattle.” Nicole wined.

“Your mother decided to take the long way from Montana to get there. Please stop complaining, it’s getting annoying. You’ll love it there,” Her father begged.

“Why does-”

“No more questions, please, Nicole?” her mother interrupted.

“Fine.”

Anthony was a biologist. There was a secret society of sorts in the biology community that Anthony just happened to be in. These people knew something the rest of the world didn’t, animals could talk in their own way to humans, caterpillars contorted their body into letters, birds chirped in Morse Code. However, with most humans, they acted normally.

The Arbours got to their new home later that day. It was about two months before school started in the area, so Nicole used the time to explore and talk to the kids that would be in her grade when the school did start.

Nicole was 15, smart, and quite beautiful. She had straight, chocolate brown hair that she pinned up to be her shoulders, emerald green eyes, and was surprisingly short for 15. While her future classmates were already 5”6’, Nicole was only pushing 5”1’. She looked like her mother, but she acted like her father. Nicole read a lot and loved being outside.

When Nicole was walking to school on the first day, a bird flew in front of her and started tweeting at her in a strange way. She brushed it off, this kind of thing usually happened to her and she had gotten used to it. At the time, Nicole thought the birds were confessing love or something like that.

After that, Nicole’s day went pretty normal. She met all her teachers, did the obligatory introduction work in class, and signed up for all the clubs that would start in the fall. When the club sign-ups were available, Nicole signed up for multiple, but the one she was most excited for was the Wildlife Club that would start next week.

As she was walking home that day, Nicole saw a bird that looked quite similar to the one before trying to peck and pull at her hair. It was trying to get it to follow her because a little pill pug got flipped over and the bird, a LeConte’s Sparrow, wanted Nicole to help. Nicole didn’t know this, of course, or she would’ve helped it get back on its feet.

When she got home, Nicole told her dad about the sparrow at school.

“Dad!” Nicole called,” there was a sparrow chirping at me and tugging at my ear! I think it was trying to tell me something!”

“It was dear, I think it was trying to get you to follow it.” her father answered.

“But why?”

“I don’t know, I may be a biologist, but I don’t know everything that goes through animal’s tiny brains!” Anthony said laughing

“Don’t make fun of the animals, what did they do did to you?”

“Not my point, now you’re just getting off-topic”

“Stop the conversation?”

“Ya, let’s stop this conversation before we start talking about talking weird.”

The Wilderness Club’s first trip was the Sequoia National Forest. The trees were as tall as The skyscrapers back in Seattle, possibly even taller. The trunks looked like tall, red-stained barrels. The leaves were different shades of green, yellow, orange, and red. When they fell, it felt like an eternity until they hit the ground. It was Nicole’s first time here, but she found herself ahead of the others. She was leaning against one of the titan trees by the path when she felt something on her shoulder. It was a striped caterpillar. The stripes went yellow-green, black, white, black, yellow-green in that repeating pattern.

‘A monarch caterpillar’, Nicole thought.

It wriggled onto her hand and spelled out “hello”

“Why hello to you too, little guy,” Nicole said.

“You can understand me?” the caterpillar wriggled

“Ya, why are you so surprised?”

“I’ve tried talking to many people and you're the first one to understand me.”

“I’m special then aren't I?”

“I didn’t expect you to be so calm about it.”

“Hey, Nicole!” someone from the group called.

“I have to go now,” Nicole said,” what’s your name if I come back?”

“Oscar,” the caterpillar responded

“See you later Oscar, I hope,” Nicole said

Once Nicole got home, she told her dad about Oscar.

“I guess we should go back later,” he said

They did, and when Nicole showed her father where she met Oscar she found a little surprise on the tree. Oscar was there, along with a little Two-Tailed Swallowtail caterpillar.

“Looks like Oscar has a friend,” Anthony said.

“Looks like he does, Dad, looks like he does,” his daughter answered.

Nicole picked the two caterpillars from the tree and made sure it was Oscar.

“Oscar?”

“Ya, what do you want?”

“It’s me, Nicole.”

“Oh, hey Nicole, this is my friend, Alphonse.”

“Hey, I exist too!” Anthony said.

“Oh, hello, I’m Oscar.”

“So I’ve heard.”

Nicole introduced the caterpillars to her dad. Then, the two little creatures explained why special humans like them were so special. All humans like them were destined to work with animals in some way or another. They also explained how domestic animals can talk to everyone, but wild animals can’t.

“Oh, that’s horrible!” Nicole exclaimed.

“I know,” her father said,” that’s why I don’t let you have cats and dogs.”

“I’m getting tired,” Nicole wined.

“It’s time to go anyway,” Anthony said,” Let’s go Nichole.”

She knew it was time to let them back. The caterpillars softly wriggled in her hand, spelling out “goodbye”.

“See you soon guys, stay safe.”

Gli errori sul set di Jimanji 2. Buona visione e buonanotte.

[ruinitive]

@markiplier - Anyone done this yet?

[skaterfc]

i think you're probably right about molly not being a hollow one exactly, but i will point out that it's only since cad joined that we've had anything that would have pinged for undead. jester never turned undead while molly was around and nobody had any other way of sensing necrotic creatures before cad's eyes of the grave ability.

Thanks anon! I couldnt remember if caleb did anything to decect undead. Another big diffrence i see between them, Molly has no memory of who he was, while Jimanji knows who he was and what happened. Its been said that Molly was due to a ritual before he died. It would be cool to see some more of that lore pop up if Vess da rogna did kill Lucien, i just dont know where people are gett that she was the women from that lol.

Guess we'll just have to wait to find out!

The weirdest thing in the Jimanji movie is the way none of the other kids seem to have ever played a video game

[throwaway-key]

me, after one drink, texting my therapist: THE QUIET INSIDIOUSNESS AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR OF SOME STAR TREK EPISODES IS OBVIOUSLY THE ROOT OF A LOT OF MY ANXIETIES. waking up to find yourself in the future where everything and everyone you loved has died? being in solitary for thirty years and then finding out it was a All an implanted memory and in the real world only five minutes have past but you still have thirty years of memories??? an entire episode where the characters are going about their business but you as the audience see invisible aliens performing experiments, completely undetected? that one jimanji episode but with death? coming home to find something transpired that left everyone hating you?
