knowitowl | Chapter Three - Eating Crow [Video]

[At Loki's demand, Wan Shi Tong is opening the journal and turning on the video feed. A large black and white owl towering over his journal once more.]

Greetings, residents of Luceti. This is Wan Shi Tong.

Upon my arrival, there was an incident regarding the library that I'm sure many of you recall.

After being slain at the hands of Loki, losing my memories as a result, and being barred from the library. I have been forced to evaluate this situation.

I do not remember or fully understand my previous motives, but I will admit that I was perhaps in error. Despite any good intentions I may have had at the time, it was wrong of me to treat this library as my own.

For that, and if I have offended anyone in the process, I offer my sincere apologies. I will no longer impose any rules upon the library without the rest of the village's consent. The knowledge here has been intended for the use of everyone by the Malnosso who has provided it, and it should remain that way.

As a further gesture of my good will, I will be putting my vast knowledge to further use for the good of the community. There are some worlds that have things called, advice columns. I will be offering one such entry per month as a means to answer questions and offer my knowledge. You may submit your questions in any form you wish, and I will honor any request for them to remain anonymous. These entries will be posted at the end of every month, starting with the 31st of this month.

Good day.

[Now Wan Shi Tong will look at something off camera.]

Now if you will kindly allow me access to the library, I would be most appreciative.

[And with that the feed cuts off.]

(( OOC: Questions for Wan Shi Tong's advice column can be submitted here.))

Oh, well I might join you. I have some texts about my world which you might find of interest.

Oh?

[He does indeed sound interested.]

Yes, some old myths and histories I have gathered up, as well as a few spell books.

That does sound interesting.

Yes, well I do try ever so hard not to seem boring.

[Though occasionally it was necessary]

Then feel free to join me whenever it is convenient for you. I will be staying here.

Certainly, Mr. Wan Shi Tong. I'll be by shortly.

[Xellos will find Wan Shi Tong in the library just as he had said. The owl spirit having already gathered a number of books to read. Though he is also waiting for his visitor. Thus when he arrives, the spirit approaches.]

[Xellos plops down a fair number of the books on a nearby table]

Hello hello, Mr. Wan Shi Tong.

Greetings.

[And the owl is now very interested as he looms over the stack of books and stares at them curiously.]

I see you were not exaggerating.

Oh, despite my reputation I always tell the truth.

[From a certain point of view]

There is a history of the elves, alongside some of their more strange technology and inventions. They had a bit of a sense of humour about things, though they have mostly sequestered themselves off from my part of the world in more recent times.

[He points to a rather large book]

I was a bit surprised to find it here, there are not too many copies of this book floating about.

Very nice. I do believe this will make an interesting read.

[He is impressed.]

Yes, they were especially good with the creation of golems, though the designs were rather strange. There are a few pictures included within which detail some of the more prominent and significant ones. Though the details of how to create such things have largely been lost.

I see. I am looking forward to reading it.

But then why have you kept this knowledge to yourself till now? And why share it with me?

Within my world there are spells and devices which could quite easily wipe out the entire village.

It didn't seem prudent to leave it to prying eyes.

Ah, yes. In that case, it is a viable precaution.

[Because they certainly don't have mischievous individuals in this village who might have use for that. Nope.]

Precisely. Though I left the more benevolent spells around that might be of some use to people.

[Also curses and hexes people could use to mess with one another, which arguably would be useful to a certain sect]

Well then, rest assured that these books are safe with me.
