    Fun fact: the author of that series attended the same middle school I did. He came and did a signing for at least the first two.

    "So," said James, after a moment of silence. "Who are you?" The old man raised an eyebrow. "Why, I'm your shadow, of course. Surely you've figured that out?" "Okay," said James. "So... why?" "Why what?" James gestured around. "Why did you want to come here? And why do you need me to do it?" The old man leaned on a staff that materialized from the fog. "I am but a mere shadow. There is much I can no longer do alone." James personally thought that this raised more questions than it answered. When he said he was a shadow- did he mean that literally, or figuratively? And if really wasn't all that powerful, how had he been able to defend James? Most importantly, he still hadn't answered James's most pressing question. "Yes," he said, "but what is it that you need to do?" The old man chuckled. "Why, the same thing you are here to do." James sighed. Again, more questions than answers. Did the old man mean that he had a directive from Fate? Or did he know something about why James was here? Given his earlier comment, James was inclined to believe the latter. But Fate worked in mysterious ways, and there was no way of knowing for sure.

    James had only taken a few steps when his shadow swallowed him. His first thought when the room around him began to darken was that of resignation. It was yet another attempt by the world to kick him out. But the walls didn't turn into sand, or spray, or rain- they stayed walls. They merely darkened, as though a black fog were obscuring them. James began to feel cold, both metaphorically and literally. What was going on? In front of him, darkness began to swirl and take shape. It formed into the shape of an old man; the same that had so recently greeted him on the side of a city street. "Hello," James said in greeting, cautiously. The old man chuckled. "Greetings, young one." His calculating gaze swept over James, then across the surroundings. He smiled. "Well done. Well done indeed." James cleared his throat. "Thank you, venerated one," he said, deliberately formal. "I must admit to... ah... some uncertainty regarding what I have done to deserve your praise..." "You got us in here," said the old man. "More importantly, you kept us in here. Not the safest or easiest of tasks." "I defer to Fate," said James; inwardly, he was pleased. Not many ever gave him praise. @Nathrangking

    "I haven't done anything important or useful in years," said Gerald. "And I'm unlikely to. There's not a whole lot a squid can do, you see."

    Who was an emu.

    "The end of life?" asked X-6574, puzzled.
  7. xinoehp512
    "What is death?" asked X-6574.
  8. xinoehp512
    "Why would you want to?" asked Gerald glumly. "I'm no use."
  9. xinoehp512
    Long forgotten on a lost island.

  11. xinoehp512
    Yes! It is a penrose tiling.
  12. xinoehp512
    No. Yes? Maybe. Yes. No. Yes, although Veritasium has made videos on many topics.
  13. xinoehp512
    No and yes, in theory. No, not the whole thing. It is infinite, after all. Yes. Yes. Yes. No. No.
  14. xinoehp512
    Yes. Also, 2D.

    "Dangerous?" asks X-6574 curiously.
  16. xinoehp512
    No, but that is the irrational constant I was referring to. No. No. No. No. No.
  17. xinoehp512
    No and no. Yes and yes, but the nature of the plane doesn't matter.
  18. xinoehp512
    No and no.
  19. xinoehp512
    X-6574 followed. He still had many questions, and this person seemed to have many answers.
  20. xinoehp512
    No, but it is related to a certain irrational constant. No. No, it is two dimensional.
  21. xinoehp512
    Yes. No, but the irrational number related to it is.
  22. xinoehp512
    No - irrationality is contained within its structure. No and no. It is not one, three, or four dimensional. No. No. Yes.
  23. xinoehp512
    No. No. No - it's abstract, infinite in at least length, and related to mathematics.
  24. xinoehp512
    No, but it is infinite. No. No.
  25. xinoehp512
    No, and yes.
