Chapter One - The Library Dictator [Video]

[knowitowl]

[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.]

Only ten thousand things Mr. Wan Shi Tong? You must have been neglecting your studies.

[Xellos sticks his tongue out a bit]

[knowitowl]

[This does not dignify a response so he's totally ignoring you Xellos.]

[that_is_asecret]

Although I suppose it is good to set oneself at a limit. So good of you to be aware of your own limitations. I applaud your self-awareness.

[Oh, he knows your type]

[knowitowl]

[Still ignoring you.]

[that_is_asecret]

I notice you said nothing about damaging any of the books, I suppose in the long run here it doesn't particularly matter, just an interesting little oversight I noticed in your introduction.

[knowitowl]

[Sigh. He remains as calm as ever though.]

Hm, yes. While it should go without saying, I will make a note. Destruction of materials will also result in consequences.

[Xellos smiles]

Oh, I believe there are some who will frequently do such things. Knowledge of one's home can be quite a sensitive thing. So, what ten thousand things do you know?

[knowitowl]

[Wan Shi Tong is indifferent.]

I am aware of this fact. [Hence the rule.]

That is merely the meaning of my name. I know far more than ten thousand things, and I am not inclined to explain them all to you. That would take far too much time.

[that_is_asecret]

Well, I happen to have all the time in the world, Mr. Wan Shi Tong, as do you.

[knowitowl]

It is not how I wish to spend my time. Good day.

[And with that he's done with you Xellos.]
