One's for sorrow, two's for joy, three's a girl, four's a boy: INDEXING episode #8 is now live!

It's here! It's here! The eighth episode of Indexing is now live!

With one team member lost and another now missing, it seems like time is running out. Either the ATI Management Bureau team will thwart the narrative before sunrise...or it will devour them. And right now, devouring seems pretty damn likely. Episode eight, "Empty Nest," is ready for you to enjoy.

This post serves as both your reminder and discussion thread.

Once upon a time...

And I cannot find my Kindle. :-(

Pumping the four year old for information did not yield anything pertinent, though I learned a lot about Tasmanian devils.

Oh, this is one of those where I should have waited until the next episode came out, because now I am DYING.

Is anyone else having problems with the kindle app for Droid phones? I haven't been able to get it to upstate since chapter 5 (luckily I also have a kindle).

I am experiencing the best kind of indecision: do I keep reading Bad Dream Girl or pause to read Indexing? Arrrrgh. :)

I, for one, will never look at Mother Goose the same way again. *shivers*

Gnarg. I thought it had been established earlier that she was, y'know, nailed down as a Mother Hubbard and filed as not particularly active.

Which could still be the case, but it seems like they're all "OMG she's a story?" and I'm like, "Didn't we cover that in her intro? Her name is Hubbard. Jeezy Creezy."

That said, I am shuddering in complete horror here starting with the wallpaper.

Seconded. This is chilling. I did suspect her right off, but...damn.

I suspected her, too, but I was wondering if it was her and the Associate Director working together or just her. Shiver. This is going to be nerve-wracking until the next episode.

That's the idea.

On my way home from work today, I started writing a song based on Indexing. It's still in its infancy, but if I finish it and like the end result, I will share it with you.

Yikes. I always thought the director dude was up to no good, but...NOPE. And I completely missed her last name being Hubbard because, well, I brain good. :3 And yet, there was The Clue, hidden in plain sight. Well played, ma'am, well played.

Also, am thoroughly creeped out. And nervous for our friends there. WHY CLIFFHANGER WHY

Loving this more and more with every episode!

"The narrative is an old, dark force...and sometimes the only thing that keeps it locked away is knowledge." -- episode 8 of "Indexing."

I'm trying to decide if a marriage proposal to Seanan, after reading Episode 8, to make her Queen after she tells us another 1,000 stories (like Scheherazade) would be considered A) a form of praise and flattery) or B) an elaborate suicide request. Given the recent revelations about the Index and storytellers, and given that Seanan is (meta-analysis) the Storyteller telling us a dark fairy tale about what fairy tales can do...

I'd have to go with B) being actually a request for death by narrative. After all, what really happened to the Persian King on the 1,001 night, after Scheherazade turned the tables on him? Besides, Seanan already has a title. She's the King of the Rain.

"Seven for a secret never to be told"? But we're on Episode Eight, we've had a secret shown --- what price will everyone pay for it in Episode Nine?

[This post was written to the music of Counting Crows playing in my head, if not actually on the speakers.]

P.S. If you didn't actually plan out the episode numbering correlation with the ancient folk rhyme and the Counting Crows song lyrics, don't tell us? It works either way. Episode 7 was the secret not to be told, Episode 8 tells it (a storyteller is manipulating the narrative), and in Episode 9, we find out the consequences, I'm assuming. So off the map and into terra incognita, then...

If that wasn't deliberate, then I like the coincidence!

ahahaha omg omg omg omg. I spent this whole episode on the edge of my seat. As was surely your intention.

I am LOVING this story, I can't even.

(Also waaaaaa Chimes of Midnight is out and I have the busiest week of my work year and I can't read it until next week! Woe is me. :-) (Okay, that's not really very woeful -- it's mostly celebratory -- I just wish I didn't need sleep.)
