[Alma's found herself a nice little study to look through, down in the East Wing. It has a wall lined with books on shelves, a couch and chairs, a chess board, and a writing desk. She's presently occupying herself with the books, pulling one from the shelf and flipping through a page until something written over the text makes her stop.

[Leaning over to pick it up for her]

You should really switch to decaf.

[Pushes it shut with her foot] I don't think I've had any caffeine today.

[Looks at the cover, which is surprisingly blank]

What is this?

[waitforapromise]

I don't know, I just grabbed it from the shelf.

[Opens up the book to a random page]

Meaningless existence.

[Turns the book upside down and shakes it]

I guess no one ever taught this book manners, yeah.

[waitforapromise]

[Smiles a little despite herself] I guess not. It's a very rude book.

[besomeothername]

[Closes it and puts it back on the shelf]

I hope you don't believe what it says. A lot of things in the Dressing Room are just meant to get a reaction, yeah.

[waitforapromise]

... You're right. It's not something to take seriously. [But she still kind of is]

[besomeothername]

It's isn't but human nature is fickle and likes for us to dwell on such things.

[Taps his chin thoughtfully]

One thing you could do is prove it wrong.

[waitforapromise]

How do you think I should?

[besomeothername]

I didn't catch what it said, but if you want my general opinion, find something that is an absolute contradiction to whatever it said. And then do it.
