The Bookwyrm

Bookwyrm stumbled back into reality, coughing loudly. He was far, far away from the Plot, as he usually was, these days. He blinked. "Page 3000," he said, softly. His eyes grew misty. "They made it." He'd been gone for a long time. He distantly remembered page 2000, and the celebration that had accompanied it. Of course, there was no celebration this time. Plot had it's demands. That wasn't a bad thing, as Plot was what had brought this world to it's current leingth. It really is a beautiful thing, he thought to himself. So long, so much time...so many stories that this one was built on. Stories he hadn't been there for. ...Is that a problem? Should I have been there? Or is this okay? It did very much seem like the worlds he'd known were slowly fading against the flow of time, being overrun by steady progression of stories he hadn't read. Ironically, chaos was fading in TLT. He'd once thought that to be it's backbone, interspersed by random moments of Plot. But...was it reversed, now? He sat in his musings on a different world, as far a way, a story continued. Hopefully a story that would continue forever.

Both very good books. The Three-Body Problem series is...disturbing though. Good, but not for everyone. I've heard very good things about it. I read the first little bit once, but I must have been distracted by other stuff because it didn't hook me. I'l definitely get around to it one of these days, because everyone is saying it's incredible.

I hate it when people ship people who have a parent/child dynamic, or a mentor/student dynamic. It doesn't make any sense. This is one of those cases. But yeah, there's a ship for everything these days, it seems, and...sigh.

Ooh. I'll see if I can give it a look at some point.

Sure. I'm a moderate enjoyer of non-Brandon books.

Ah yes, the curse of the TBR. I avoid it by making it amalgamous and only ever re-reading books. ...I've been in a reading slump lately.

Do you have a public library? And a card? If you do, you can use a site called Libby that gives you free access to their digital library.

...That's mean. Speaker for the Dead is amazing. Even if you need to check it out from the library or something, it's worth it.

You should read the sequel. Indeed You should read the sequel.

...Not that kind of old.

Did I hear Ender's Game?

Wow. That, my friend, is dedication. ...Oh scud, I'm reading through those and nearly all of them are people who joined after me. I'm old. ...I'm so old.

Yeah, from my astronomy understanding, it's not going to be a ball of water. In a vaccuum it's going to be a gas, or a bunch of ice particles, or both. EDIT: It's also probably going to me mixed with a ton of other stuff. Honestly, there's water everywhere in space. It's a common molecule.

Wait, what?

You interested in joining? All add you to the PM. Did you check out the planning doc?

No, that makes sense. I might wait until tomorrow or Monday, just to see who else is interested and how much more we get hammered out, but I'll totally make one. I also wanted there to be coordination between players on charachter design; this is a team, so each player would fill a specific role.

...Maaayyyybbbbeee.... I want to have some discussion first so people get a more general idea of what the ARC is like. But I guess we could do the appearance/personality aspects of them now, yeah. Why, what do you have in mind?

Okay, I'm going to attempt to curb this rampant discussion so we can focus back on RP stuff...that okay?

Yep!

Yep! We're still in the planning stages (check out the doc if you can, and want to help) but I'll get in touch with you once we're ready otherwise. It's hid automatically; just don't make any comments, because it shows it then.

....Nope.

Makes sense. A lot of the actual SCP stuff kind of rubs me the wrong way. I kind of started building this world that the RP happens in so I could have an organization and world that was like SCP but without the constant sense of nihilism and existential dread. And also an organization with at least some moral compass. Not that there isn't dark stuff in this universe (that's what this RP is about) but...I want there to be some light in a story like that, you know?

I've mostly looked a little bit into the whole Backrooms thing. Nothing much beyond that. ...My YouTube feed kept trying to show me stuff about the Mandela Catalouge and all I had to see was a few images of it to be like nope. Of course then I also fell down the SCP rabbit hole a little bit which also inspired the ARC.
