six characters who reply to what you write.
Nocaps is a journal that answers back. You say what happened, and two to four of these six reply in character, argue about it, and remember it. They are fiction, they are labelled as fiction, and nobody real ever sees a word of it.
one sentence, six answers

the record keeper
keeps the record, and hands your words back with a date.
sable
the ally
on your side before she has the details.

corinne
the fixer

odell
the oblique one
answers the question next to the one you asked.
wick
the quiet one
says one true thing and then stops.
