The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Wizard in his human form runs by. "Run!" A avalanch of books runs through the hallways, picking up those outside of rooms.
Going_North_cal Posted August 30, 2022 Author Posted August 30, 2022 Calano stared in shock as Emma rubbed her scales off on a pillar, and Wizard ran by, chased by an avalanche of books. Life was mostly back to normal. Which was weird. And didn't make sense. And was positively mind bogglingly nonsensical.
NameIess Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Nameless slammed his door shut and reinforced it with a wall of air.
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Shuddering cracks came from the wood. A portal opened behind Nameless and Wizard/Emma walked into the room, quickly closing the portal. "Glad I got out of that mess."
NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Nameless nodded, sitting back down on his bed and throwing some more ripped-up pages into his fireplace.

NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, The Wandering Wizard said: "Those were from the hallway,...Right?" "No. They're from my personal collection." Nameless hesitated for a moment, staring at his signed leatherbound WoK, then chucked it into the flames.

"I mean, we can always go on another quest sometime," Bookwyrm said, reading Calano's mind. "We should just let everyone take a breather first, and see if anyone new wants to come to the clinic." He then yelped and Lashed himself to the ceiling to avoid the book-alanche.

Nameless hesitated for a moment, staring at his signed leatherbound WoK, then chucked it into the flames. "And you're throwing them in the fire, because they are meaningless to you?"
NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, The Wandering Wizard said: "And you're throwing them in the fire, because they are meaningless to you?" Nameless sighed. "Yeah, I guess."
The Bookwyrm he/him Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 "WHAT? NO!" Bookwyrm dove into the flames and grabbed the burning books. "Why are you burning the books?!" He said as he got out of the fire and used Stormlight to heal.

NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 9 minutes ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Wizard winces at the thud. "That realization comes to all, eventually." Nameless nodded sadly. "I've always heard that books weren't real, but I've always thought that was just... I don't know, people making things up?"
Ranryu she/her Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Ranryu walked up, moderately confused. "I've been summoned here, but-- wait. Can I have these koala sheep?" She leaned down and began petting one.

"I've always heard that books weren't real, but I've always thought that was just... I don't know, people making things up?" "They are real, not really in a physical sense." Wizard suddenly changes tack. "Does an idea live?" 3 minutes ago, Ranryu said: Ranryu walked up, moderately confused. "I've been summoned here, but-- wait. Can I have these koala sheep?" She leaned down and began petting one. Welcome to the clinic Ranryu! Currently we are all stuck in Nameless's room as the rest of the clinic is covered by an avalanch of books. You will later get your own room, probably in block C room 49. Doctor Calano the head staff is cleaning up the mess. And just to warn you, I am a twin and my twin is named Emma, and because of previous events she is now in my body. Did you get all of that?
NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, The Wandering Wizard said: "They are real, not really in a physical sense." Wizard suddenly changes tack. "Does an idea live?" "Of course an idea lives. But I don't enjoy books because they're ideas. I enjoy books because of the journey they take me on. And if that journey is ridiculous, well, I can't really enjoy a book anymore."

I enjoy books because of the journey they take me on. And if that journey is ridiculous, well, I can't really enjoy a book anymore." "How can a journey be ridiculous? If you gain knowledge at the end of the journey, then every step of the way was worth it."
NameIess Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Just now, The Wandering Wizard said: "How can a journey be ridiculous? If you gain knowledge at the end of the journey, then every step of the way was worth it." "If the story of a book was based on a completely illogical premise, would you read it? For an example, what if a book was based around a character whose narrative journey involved winning at everything without effort, because said character is an author insert. Would you read that book?"
Ranryu she/her Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 2 minutes ago, The Wandering Wizard said: "How can a journey be ridiculous? If you gain knowledge at the end of the journey, then every step of the way was worth it." Ranryu took this lack of an answer as a yes and amused herself by telepathically communicating with the the koala sheep (they were much more talkative than the people who she was eavesdropping on). After all, she thought, deus ex machina is the funnest type of non-logic. Why bother to make a plot that doesn't have a huge, easily defeated bad guy?
