Tupac Shakur sits at a library table in Helsinki, writing new lyrics in a notebook while reading his own published work, turning pages back and forth as though arguing with himself.
Location

Currently
N/A
Last confirmed sighting
Writing furiously on a newspaper at 14.37 last Thursday, muttering corrections.
Observations
Claims he can hear the rhythm of his own rhyme schemes in his sleep and must immediately record them backwards to understand what he meant.

Tupac Shakur is currently engaged in writing a sequel to himself, a project he initiated three weeks ago from the platform waiting area at Zurich Hauptbahnhof. He appears only able to work Tuesdays, which has created significant scheduling challenges. The station authorities have asked him repeatedly to stop annotating the departure boards with footnotes to his lyrics.

Progress has been sporadic. Monday 13th: absent. Tuesday 14th, 09:15 to 16:42: completed section titled 'Thug Life, Revisited,' added seventeen new verses. Wednesday through Friday: unaccounted for. Tuesday 21st, 10:30 onwards: rewrote entire Monday section retroactively despite not being present. Tuesday 28th at 11:00: began questioning whether the sequel should precede the original instead.

The sequel currently runs approximately 340 pages longer than the source material and contains multiple arguments with itself. Tupac reports the work is proceeding well, though he has begun inserting footnotes that reference chapters not yet written. He has also started a third volume, which he describes as a 'prequel to the sequel's understanding of the first part.'

Guidance for the public

Tuesdays only. Check the platform timetable for revisions to previous announcements.
