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.]

Yeah, I think the fact that you don't see how it would work is part of the problem... It would make people less mad, and you wouldn't have to deal with their complaining and rebelling.
It's all in how you phrase things! And your attitude. You know, you can be a bit more friendly, phrase things so it seems like what you're doing is helping them out. Because you are, right?

There is a book I read that was saying something similar.

Maybe you could appoint a representative or something, if the whole finesse thing doesn't work for you personally. [This bird-guy is almost as bad as Levi. Wait, what's the word for that kind of representative? Coming from a world in which diplomacy is a lost art, even if it's one he practices, Farlan has to think for a second.] An ambassador. You said you had assistants, maybe they could do it?

[He was about to say it should be fine, but he has no idea who these people are, or what the extent of the problem is. As long as he gets to use the library, he's not too worried about it, but he hopes this doesn't go horribly wrong somehow.]
So--you know a lot of things, you said. Would you mind if I asked you a question?

[Spirit of knowledge sounds promising.]
Well, I really don't want to go back home, so I'm looking for some way I can either stay here or go back to another world instead. Would you know anything about that?
no subject
[It might be better to discuss this in person.]

[Right, these journal things can't be trusted. He probably shouldn't have talked on it so much, but he'd wanted to get this library question out of the way.]
[[ooc: did you want to thread this out? if so, we could do it here or elsewhere; whatever is most convenient for you?]]
