Cece's Notebook

And the legends continue with Cece's fabled writing abilities! Do you want anything you write to come true?

Cecelia's Magic Notebook

Cecelia Schmidt, First Knight of the Court of Queen Xecelia Schwarzenegger - The Stalker of NSA, was an NSAer back in 2010-2011. She always was equipped with her magic notebook. Once in a while, she would pull it out and write down a story, sometimes finished and sometimes not. Once it shut, however, the written words manifested into reality around her and her companions. The only problem with this was that once the reality changed, Cece forgot everything she wrote in her book. Thus, the adventurers were subject to the will of unknown fate. It made for brilliant adventures many times, some which resulted in bestowal of superpowers, others with mutations that occurred at random times, and some in which the heroes were merely human.

Cecelia Schmidt

Cecelia Schmidt. One of the first KOTOOMPs, NSA Almuni, and a possessor of quite the imagination. Though I was never on NSA when Cece was still a student, one is still able to find some of her posts among the hallowed halls of the dead folders of FirstClass.

One particular aspect of Cecelia's adventures is the discovery of a certain notebook. The story of how she found this notebook is lost to time, but the truly interesting part of the story is not the discovery of the notebook, but of the powers that it possesses.

The notebook is said to hold the powers of transportation. He (or she) whom writes on the pages of the book becomes the author of an adventure, for you see, anything that is written in the Notebook comes true.

Because I have not seen this notebook in action, I interviewed someone who has. Please welcome Bree McLaughlin to the stage! oos and aaahs applause

[2/26/17, 9:57:32 PM] Bree McLaughlin: Found this snippet I wrote about it a long time ago:

“Our story starts out with an empty notebook. Yet if it were full, we wouldn’t have much of a story. Although written in many times, it’s empty because it’s not the typical notebook, but a magical notebook. Only one person can write in it, however, because it was given to her a long time ago by the First Knight of the Court of Queen Xecelia Schwarzenegger – The Stalker of NSA. But that is a tale in itself and shall be told later.

In fact, Queen Xecelia Schwarzenegger is the only one who can write in it, although she is usually called Cece.”

[2/26/17, 9:57:54 PM] Bree McLaughlin: Haha.. oh my. This is such an old story. xD

[2/26/17, 9:58:13 PM] Morgan: xDD that’s brilliant

[2/26/17, 10:01:14 PM] Bree McLaughlin: Here’s sort of how it works:

This is how it all started out:

I sit in the school café writing down a story idea I got, although I am stuck on what to write next. I sighed and take another sip of water.

“Hey, Bree!”

I turn around to see Cece walk up and smile. “Hi, Cece! What’s up?”

“Nothing much…” Cece sits down and sets her bag on the table. “Want to go on an adventure?” she asks, “I'm feeling inspired, but not towards anything in particular.”

“Sure,” I laugh. “Do you have your notebook with you?”

She laughs and pulls it out of her bag. “Of course! Do you have a pen though?”

I hand her the pen I was using to write with, and put my head in my hand. She rolls her eyes upwards, searching for the right words. After a few moments of thought, she began writing a simple phrase, although I couldn’t exactly see what she was writing. It looked like old fashioned hand writing, elegant and small.

She finished with a flourish, signed her name gracefully at the bottom, and closed the notebook.

The world around us suddenly started to spin and I felt the air being sucked out of me. Everything was a blur of colors, until, almost as suddenly as it had begun, we were standing next to a Cliffside with a tunnel behind us.

Cece throws the book over the edge, grinning. “Well, here we are, it looks like.”

“I wonder where ‘here’ is.” I was curious as if to when she would…or even if she would get her notebook back, but decided not to ask.

“Hey look, Bree!” she suddenly exclaims. “You have wings!” She points behind me, and I look back to see a pair of two blue wings, the same color of my shirt. I stretched them and experimented flapping them.

“Cool! I never have had a pair of wings in an adventure before!” I searched her for a pair of wings. She usually had them. I shrugged, and then asked, “Well…I guess we should go in the tunnel, huh?”

“I don’t see why not.”

….

“Adventures are strange that way. They’re almost like a dream.”

And so, as you can see, the powers of Cece's Notebook are unmatched. Unfortunately, this particular Notebook has been lost to Cyberspace and has never returned since it's owner left the hallowed halls of FirstClass. There may be those who say otherwise, but know the truth: this artifact was forever lost.

In 2020, a young man named Lars Burgonson found the notebook. He saw all the adventures of its past. He saw its power, but wise, exchanged it for a hefty €2,000,000 to Lakeshire Museum. He knew that it was an item for a fool. Living in a fantasy, over and over again would eventually blur the lines between fake and real.
