I wonder if people can see me pick up objects. I mean, I can pick up things, since they don't go through my hand.
I tried to walk to Seven Pheasant Inn. I walked and walked and walked, but I couldn't see it. Maybe I wasn't walking in the right direction. The next time I see @Misty Foresight, I'll ask her. She can see me, thank goodness. I wonder though, will I only see a field if she shows me the inn? Since she can't see the school nor the people in it, will I be unable to see it?

I'm back, at least partially. Meeting @Lucia Spectre at the gates was the best thing that's happened to me in months! But she hadn't seen @Vazak. Apparently no one has.

When I got to the gates, things were no different. Just those big stone pillars and a huge empty field where the school used to be. Or where the school still is - in some half-off, elevator stuck-between-floors kind of way. But I could see the silhouette of a girl in the fog, sitting on a rock. "Lucia?" I said, and she about fell off her rock!

She said "You can see me?" and then cried and cried in my arms.

Then, she grabbed me by the hand and took me into the school. "Look! See? There's the administration building, and there's the commons!"

But I couldn't see a thing. Just wide empty fields. And I still couldn't see anything when she took me inside the commons. Just a big empty hillside.

"Oh, watch out! Wait! Uh, can you hear him?" "Hear who?" "This boy. I think his name is Matt, or Max. He's saying hi. He's saying it's nice to see you again. Say thanks!" "Uh... Thanks?"

"He kind of looked at you funny and walked away."

So that's when it all clicked. No one can see or hear Lucia, but she can see and hear them. Everyone can see and hear me... but I can't see or hear them. This is messed up. But I suppose I'm halfway there? At least Lucia and I see each other.

Lucia took me back to her room, and introduced me to her cat. The cat is adorable. I guess Lucia is my eyes and ears, and I'm... the person who stands there? It's like that game when you put a blindfold on and your friend tells you where to go. And what to say. Except your friend is invisible.

I'm exhausted. It's time for sleep... and then back to school?

A Note Left By Lucia Spectre:

Cats are able to see invisible things, so I assumed they could see invisible people, like me. Thankfully, my assumption was correct. Today, I caught a grey cat, and it looked at me. I whispered to it, and it whispered back. It was oddly entertaining.
I also took (okay, stole) a textbook from Animal Speech 101. I think it's the right textbook. I want to delve deeper into the arts of cat-whispering. I hope it'll be interesting.

I am so, so glad that someone wrote me a reply. I'm still scared, but I'm getting the hang of being invisible. It's not that bad. I can still hold and use objects. I don't think the others can hear me, though. I tried whispering, then screaming in someone's ear today. They didn't show any indication of hearing anything.
I'll stick by at the gates then, from noon to evening. I don't think I'll miss anything important from any of my classes (assuming that I do go to this school). I really hope we'll be able to see each other, @Misty Foresight and @Vazak (should we show up at the same time).

Oh, my dears!

It seems we (@Vazak and @Lucia Spectre) may all be suffering from the same problem, but in backwards insideout ways.

On locker painting day last fall, I was painting my locker invisible. But then, the whole school and everyone in it disappeared! So I walked and walked, and ended up at the Seven Pheasant Inn, where I've been working odd jobs ever since.

I can talk to the school via this link, but must be stuck in some kind of inbetween channel. Perhaps the two of you are in similar straits? Are we all on the same psychic UHF wavelength?

Maybe it's possible we can actually see each other. When I walk back to school it's just a big spooky empty field - the school's big gates are all that show up for me. If we all met there, maybe we'd all be able to see each other? And I could find my way back? Not sure if that helps with your problems though...

I'll start hanging out there more. Keep an eye out!

A note from Lucia Spectre:

I am freaking out. I just went to the bathroom to check my hair, and I didn't have a reflection. Is the mirror defective or something? Maybe I've become invisible? Or a vampire? Or... Am I a ghost?! I mean, I don't remember anything from before. I just woke up, in this school. Though I feel like I've been here before. Maybe I was a student here, since I found an ID with the name "Lucia Spectre" in my pocket, so I'm assuming that's me.
Well, if I'm invisible, I guess it explains why people were sitting on me without apologizing. I was sitting on a chair, then some random guy sat on me! I squeaked, 'cause he was really heavy. He jumped off, and looked around at the chair awkwardly, then walked away. But what about my clothes? Can't he see my clothes?!?
I guess I'll talk to a teacher about this. I don't even know if they can hear me. I think I'll leave a note on their desk. In the meantime, I'll play with a cat. They're nice, cute, fluffy, and there are an abundance of them.
