Greetings. This is Archer. I hope that you are all faring well after the recent abductions. But it is concerning that and many other strange things in this realm which I wish to speak of today. I refer in particular to that book which Mythra and I have discovered underneath this town.

Last month, I have received a quill. How I came to obtain this item is best left unsaid, but this quill will write upon no surface save for that book. A few short lines scribbled onto that book’s pages have yielded me no results, but perhaps defter hands than mine can reveal its secrets. To that end I have left the quill within the room where the book lies, so that any denizen of this world might use it freely. I believe that, considering the recently published end to Mr. F’s woeful tale, we are meant to rewrite the story of this world. As such, it seems fair that all of us play a part in its completion.

Also, and this is very important! I have left a second quill there. This quill is very special and is quite a pretty shade of blue. By no means should you touch this second quill. Only true kings may use it and no other.

That is all.

[ OOC: This post refers to an especially significant quest reward from last month which might have a strong impact on the endgame. It’s a magical quill that can only work on the book found a while back. Feel free to let your characters use this quill as you will, regardless of whether or not you have CR with Tristan! Just remember to report to the mods if your character writes anything substantial with it!

Also the second bit of this network post is just a ~~flimsy~~ ruse to ICly keep a certain someone from making some very irresponsible decisions RE: the quill. Your characters are perfectly free to touch that second quill (it’s just a random goose feather, and has now been stolen) if you want, or even call him out on the weirdness of it all. That feather is otherwise practically useless and just there as a silly decoy.

ETA: OOC plotting here and a log for threading out book shenanigans is up! ]

Truly?
That would be quite sad…

[ Even if that fake getting stolen would actually be the best case scenario. ]

Nevertheless, I am willing to entrust these things to all the people who have been trapped here.

[ Even Mordred, provided she has adult supervision. ]

Nobel of you. I hope that trust is honored.

So you think we're supposed to write our own fairytale now?

As do I. [ Whoever you are, red stranger who is at least Not Mordred… ]
But I believe that that is what these artifacts are for.
Of course, as I am no magus, I cannot make certain.
But there are many quite clever people in town. I assume that you must have your own ideas for what these items might do.

Could be a wish book again, but I doubt it would be that simple. Could also be just a big metaphor.

[He's dealt with those often.]

A metaphor?

[ Oh. Oh. You're speaking his language, my dude. Akira might not be able to see it, but he's totally sparkling right now. ]

Of course.
This world seems to have quite the flair for stories and poetry. A metaphor would certainly be a strong possibility.

Great. Now we just need to know what it's a metaphor for.

The open-ended future is one guess.

Or a diary, perhaps, though such things are meant to record the past…

Well, we could always write our pasts in and see what happens. Mine isn't really all that interesting though...

[Hah.]

That is ideal, I believe.
A perfectly ordinary life free from adventure and strife is what most people should aspire to.
To have such a storied life can only end in tragedy.
And that would be sad.

[ Thanks for pointing it out, Tristan. ]

You don't think anyone can get a happy ending?

I believe that some might be so fortunate.
I have known a few who were able to defy their fate against all odds.

[ And compared to the apocalypse restoring color to a fairy tale world is at least not as hard to pull off. Probably. ]

For certain others, however, there can be nothing but sadness.

Maybe they can use the book to avoid that.

That is possible.
Most fairy tales do have happy endings.
And I certainly will not prevent anyone from attempting to achieve theirs, be it yours or anyone else's.

That's good. I'd hate to have to fight you over it.

[Metaphorically...?]

Hahaha.

[ That's a joke, right? He's trying to be polite!! ]

I am happy to note that the people of this realm are still quite spirited.
That is very good indeed.
