Chapter One - The Library Dictator [Video]

[Now that things seem to have gone back to relative normalcy here in the land of Luceti, Wan Shi Tong decides that it is time to introduce himself to the community. Thus there will be a video feed of a very tall owl as he stands over his journal.]

Greetings citizens of Luceti, I am Wan Shi Tong, he who knows ten thousand things.

Due to my abduction from my own world and library, I have commandeered the one within this village. I will be the sole authority of the collection from this point on, and as such, there are a few new rules.

First of all, anyone who wishes to use the library must first offer new knowledge to add to the collection.

Secondly, none of the material within can be used for malicious intent. There is no exception to this. I do not care how noble your cause may be, whether it is against each other or our captors here.

Finally, I will no longer allow any materials to be removed from the building.

If these rules are not followed, there will be consequences.

Also, in regards to the last rule, all outstanding books and media must be returned for inventory. If you do not comply, I will send my assistants to retrieve them.

That is all.

[And with that the feed will end.]

I don't know. I...

Not yet. I need time to think.

[He pushes the journal away. He needs music and time, that always works for him. He wanders off to set up the record player, selecting an orchestral symphony to put under the needle. When the music starts, he sits down in one of the chairs nearby, closing his eyes as he thinks.]

[He joins Walter in a few moments, writing in his personal notebook, not looking up at his... friend?]

Would you rather go home?

[He opens his eyes, dropping his chin to look at September with a frown.]

Of course I would, but I can't just leave these people here under that owl's reign.

They will care for themselves.

That is where you and I differ, my friend. I can't not interfere.

If you must.

[No, he doesn't understand--but that's Walter, incomprehensible.]

I do.

[He leans his head back against the chair and closes his eyes as the music starts to swell.]

So now I must think...

[Silence in the room, nothing but Walter and the music. He can wait for hours.]
