Note 1

The Cook.

"The Cook. That's what we call it here in Logsmouth. The big scary humanoid creature who steals people at night. People say it has a red streak across its face, eyes like an insect and no mouth to speak of. Sam tells me to not wander past Pandora. If you're reading this and you aren't from here, that's the wall Sam built around Logsmouth aaaaall by himself!! Cool, huh? Because if I do, I'll end up meeting face to face with the beast.

Of course, I don't believe him, since The Cook is just some fairytale to make young borrowers afraid of going outside Pandora, which is bullshit because there are so many cool things out there!! Like for example, last time I snuck out I found this huuuuge black and white boulder on the grass!! Isn't that awesome!!?

But unfortunately, adults hate fun, and Sam has me grounded for 3 months.

Maybe if I snuck out just....one more time?"

Borrower Facts!!

"Did you know:

• Borrowers got their name from H.D Borrower, who first discovered them!

• Experts say Borrowers are craaazy intelligent. Some say they're nearly as smart as dolphins.

• 9/10 specialists agree that eating just one Borrower a day can cure lung diseases. Wooaah!

• Thanks to their very human-like vocal chords, Borrowers can actually talk! They imitate the sounds of humans around them and can store that information for up to 13 days, where they'll use those words without even knowing what they mean!

• Borrowers do not make good pets. Remember, despite how smart they are, or how much you think your borrower loves you, they are still wild animals, and will escape the minute you let your guard down. Even if you gave them an allium...

WOOOAAH!! Those have been our favourite Borrower Facts! Which one was your favourite?"

Pandora Extensions

"Good """King""" Eret, this is the last time I'm going to write to your so gracious lordship. We need to tighten the security around here. Pandora must be extended, Eret. By about 5 more inches high and 1 wide.

I have heard your material cost concerns, sire, and I must remind you I have necessary the materials. I have heard your comments that such an extension would be illegal because it's a property of your little pretend kingdom but may I remind you kindly, sire, that I built the damn thing. I have heard your concerns that making such an extension would be dangerous to me but frankly Eret, I don't give a shit.

Tommy, my s a child who I'm responsible for, has climbed those walls twelve times now.

TWELVE

TIMES

This ISN'T a conversation about my personal safety, it's the safety of Tommy and the continued safety of Logsmouth.

I hope this message finds you well, My King."

I, your dearest little insect girl, am going to be posting some borrower bits content!!

Every day, for the next 7 days leading up to the first page of the full fic, I'm gonna post

The Craft Award

"Mr. Soot, I'd first off like to say am more than impressed by the food you sell here. This place has the opportunity to become something big.

I ordered the borrower ring, and I have many things to say about it.

First off, the presentation. When I sat down, I found the owner himself serving me, which was a very nice show of hard work and modesty.

I will be honest, I was rather surprised by the food still being alive while served, but after feeling all the exquisite squirming, crunching and wriggling in my mouth, I'm definitely not against it.

The taste and texture was like nothing I've ever tasted in my 30 years of reviewing resteraunts. It was like a wine mixed with a bloody taste, perfectly complimented by the carefully broiled flesh.

After finishing every borrower on my plate, I give your Borrower Bits store The Craft Award.

P.S. Wilbur, cut this out of the official print but, could you grab me a carton of milk next time you visit? Your old man needs his tea, haha, L. O. L.

See you soon!"

Diary of a Humble Chef.

"Dear diary.

Today started out the same as yesterday and the day before. Went out and caught a few more borrowers from the back at 5, started preparing quick snacks at 6 and opened shop at 6:30.

It would've just been another boring day at the resterunt rserant rasteraunt shop, if it weren't for those cringey "borrower activists" cornering me in the alleyway after my shift. Thankfully things didn't get too ugly, all I had to do was swing my butchers knife around and scream like a crazy person to get them to leave. But still, I got a very uneasy feeling about this whole situation.

What a world we live in, where a humble chef can't even go home from work without worrying about being attacked."

Note 6

Borrower Bits

"September 20th, 2020

Dear readers who I hope don't read this diary.

I just tried eating a Borrower for the first time! Now, I know what you're thinking. "C'mon Wilbur, first eating sand, now you're sticking bugs into your mouth? What next, fleas??" And first off, fuck you, imaginary person, fleas taste FUCKING AMAZING and so does sand. And second off, borrowers are actually like. REALLY NICE. The squirming they do when they're in your mouth, hearing their weird imitation trick, imagining there's a person in your mouth instead of just a bug is kind of a major power trip....Way more than fleas, as good as they are.

Y'know...I could probably sell these...

But what would I name the restaurant...?

Ah, I know. Borrower Bits."
