I'm at a point in my novel where the main character is eavesdropping an event happen in real time through a fantasy portal screen. How would I best format the scene so that readers don't get confused? Such as have what the characters say through the portal be in italics?
I also have several points where the main character texts/calls another character, should that be in italics as well?
And I have bilingual speakers within the novel, should what those characters say in a foreign language come with italics? (Note: the main character doesn't speak the language.)
I'm looking for conventional means of formatting, or would it be better to remain consistent throughout the novel?
Thank you!
