   Domus Prime Note...

So, someone was wondering at my collection of textbooks in the new office, and asking why I needed my old basic astronomy one. I pointed out that I use them for tutoring and that it's helpful to have them to hand, and he agreed and left me to it.

Flicking through the book, a bit of paper fell out. Torn from a diary, and dated the 15th of April, 2000, the scrap of paper has a few pencilled notes on it, which I repeat here because they are awesome:
Riddler - end of prequel
"Blade", flashback
whispered "Riddler"
betrayal...
decides not to tell him believing nothing will come of it.

My only interpretation is that this was the first imaginings of Hikari-No's premonition in the prequel, when she has a momentary flash of insight that allows her to tell the Riddler that she'll protect him from Darth Blade. But actually, I'm not sure, because I have a feeling that I may have planned more for this, given that "end of prequel" line, which suggests that I was going to do more foreshadowing than I ended up playing with.

Of course, the back is more exciting, dated April 19:
Thea and Jester!!!!!

I guess I don't need to tell anyone what that is about. Of course, given that the textbook was for a class that Heidi and I took together, and that date was around the time that we were really getting into the novel, that scrap of paper may be the first inkling of the P'Lot.

(The date doesn't really tell me anything, given that I use diaries without any regard for page numbers and just use whichever scrap of paper comes to hand first, but it's a month after Thea's arrival in the novel, and before we really decided to pair her off with Jester).
