+# Poor Ed is Dead (Working title)
+
+* Three worlds or layers: Caligula XE; Sorcerer; Social Context
+* The third layer might be optional.
+
+# Caligula XE & Katja
+In Caligula Yyanu is in love with; has a crush on Katja (working name; it could
+also be Sigryn or something else along those lines. We'll play it out later.
+The catch is that Yy knows that its just for fun and she must not get too
+serious with Kj and so she fastidiously avoids getting too close or getting
+feelings. Kj seems  to always be pushing however. Yy knows this way lies destruction
+but can't help herself.
+
+It's not meant to be obvious why she knows so well that it is doomed but there is
+no question that she's right. Eventually she will fall hard for Kj and tragically
+fatalistically confess her feelings, knowing even as she does so that this will
+ruin her.
+
+It's even worse than one would think. Because once Kj knows she's secured Yy's love
+she begins to pursue her in RL! (real life)
+
+# RL (ish) virtually
+At this turning point in the story, it is revealed that Yy and Kj (and other characters)
+are actually characters in an online game called Caligula XE. Each one is controlled by
+a player in real life. Yyanu is controlled by a player who goes by the name @anibel and Katja 
+by a player with the handle @katja. Of cours @a and @k are just account names on a game
+and social media platform. 
+
+@k seeks to continue the romance outside of Caligula XE in the online world. She constantly 
+tries to get @a to reveal more of her true self. This is torment for @a whose feelings continue
+to grow earnestly. Her problem is that she is a contrived online persona, she completely hides 
+her true nature in the online communities where she and @k frequent. @a's petty secret is that
+in rl she is a man named John. John created @a out of wishful thinking but does not see themselves
+as trans because of their self-contempt.
