i legit have no fucking idea what to do with mt. silver. like according to 3 year old notes i sorta named him Red (hahaha like the pokemon trainer. it's like there's a connection here) and i know that he and Glitch butted heads a lot since they're both heavily ingrained into digital technology/video games/evolution thereof/etc, and mt silver/red only, like. kinda "popped up" around the time of creepypasta days (which is why he's called that) but is sort of unidentifiable. like The Eye.

but like. my intention for mt. silver was that - like many other Gifted like Glitch with Polybius (or is it Polybius with Glitch? 🤔) and The Eye with found footage/feeling watched - mt. silver was supposed to be responsible for something, for a phenomenon. and that was supposed to be, like. gaming creepypasta, or actual rogue gaming glitches that are. Concerning. rumors that aren't actually rumors but you'll never see anyone able to recreate it and screenshots are called "fake" and simply become urban legends, etc. but GOD. chinhands. my notes for mt silver are so OLD and i never really was able to articulate how i wanted him to work. drives me nuts

tho i think that might just be a case of assigning too many entities to things that don't need it. like. Glitch literally has the digital world all but covered, except for a whole shitload of stuff he DOESN'T have covered, LOL. obviously Glitch can't be everywhere and in everything at once, that's not how it works. since the Polybius calls the shots around here he's basically fucking around in someone's encrypted spreadsheets one day and uploading UFO dashcam footage the other and idk. just for funsies, makes a JUST DO IT meme edit of The Eye's newest footage of stalking some poor drunk college kid thru an open field. then uploads that to youtube. just for a laff

folds arms. but yeah. Glitch and mt silver/Red were definitely going to be at odds and i think that was sort of a Polybius intention/doing, too. like. Glitch and Red would have been "jealous boyfriends" of Polybius (or so acted like it). god it's so weird and it's so hard for me to try to articulate. but. whatever i do with mt silver/Red, and maybe i won't keep him on the Gifted list, i sure as hell know Bobby Jane doesn't care much for the tech Gifted, doesn't understand them, and they make him very very nervous LOL. and i guess The Eye sorta falls under the "tech Gifted" list but. yanno. gestures. semantics. potato potato, etc

Glitch is cute tho. :< i mean he's. got some Trevor Philips vibes. but he's. i like him :( definitely a favorite with Bobby Jane and Jolene. and to think i'd started tryign to round out the Gifted and some other character aspects and uhhhh... Unconventional Gifted (like The House and The Realtor (who come as a "pair" kind of like Glitch and Polybius but there are a lot of asterisks and addendums and asides to that, so)) and R's trucking company, and THE TWIIIIINSSSS dgkdgkdfgklg but HRGHGH

also just. Smiling Man in general. Marone. how the fuck Marone fits in. how the fuck they actually all met, how long they've known each other or about each other, who hasn't met who, like. i had The Candle Cove Bar and Grille visualized as somewhere up in the butt-ass mountains as one of those local dives/trucker grub stops (see: R (aka The Roadrunner)) and it'd be a pain in the ASS for a city slicker like Bobby Jane to hike all the fuckin way up there in an 8 hr drive just to have his chain yanked on by Bakul for 5 more hours and then be sent back with information that could have been solved in a phone call and this is just the WORST job in the fucking world and i keep getting the feeling poor Bobby Jane here works for the government so on top of being a government official of some kind he's also that very Smiling Man of r/LetsNotMeet fame and he's kind of obsessed with the green scarf his ex gave him a year before they broke up and it's totally not weird at all to wrap it around and smell it and Jolene totally knows that about u bro and it's weird and listen.
