Cornelia, here, also known as Hal’s little sister, when absolutely forced to admit it.
Hal, Nia, and Callie liked a little scheme I hatched and said I should post it. (Actually, I think they were just blowing me off while they track down information on some strange house. But joke’s on them, ‘cause I think that’s a wild goose chase…not that anyone asked me, of course.)
Anyway, the gears in my head started turning when I saw Tiger_Eye and CheekyMonkey wondering why Amanda was spreading stickers and coyote tags around Paris.
After looking at Laure’s pictures of both the tag and the sticker, I had a sneaking suspicion that the sticker picture came from someone with my DNA (or at least some of the more inferior genes). Score one for Cornelia—Hal told me that Amanda made the sticker from a drawing he did for a graphic novel the two of them were writing together. The picture is of the main character, a girl they called Veronica Loy. She’s a teenaged detective raised by coyotes.
He’d seen the stickers before because Amanda left some stuck to his guitar case. MackenzieC and Willow can tell you, we see a lot of messages that are supposed to be from Amanda but this sticker is so totally her and nobody else.
Enough already, right? Get to my brilliant idea, right? Right. So if Amanda is sending messages like some kind of crazy Bat-signal with the stickers, maybe we can send her a message with our own stickers. Like the Underground Railroad, showing her that wherever there’s a sticker, she has a friend.
So I took a page from her journal that she’s sure to recognize—that loopy A she was always drawing.
I know, I know, I’m brilliant, but hold your applause. I need your help. All you have to do is download the image, print it out (on a sticker, on a paper, on whatever), and put it somewhere in public where Amanda might see it. Then, take a picture of it and send it to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and I’ll post all the pictures in the gallery so we can keep track of how many have been put up. Then you can applaud.
Just be careful not to include any pictures of yourselves or any exact locations, because Amanda’s clearly hiding from something and I don’t have enough time to start up a second web site for one of you.
One last thing: when I was looking through Amanda’s journal pages, I found a few that were just the alphabet over and over in different sets of handwriting. Weeeeeird.
