So, show of hands. Or whatever you've got. How many of you weren't penguins? I'm wonderin' what made the difference or if there was no difference. It's kind of a survey, maybe.

As fascinating as that possibly could have been, I would rather not be a penguin. So, no.

...Can I have your autograph please, sir? Please?

[noflamingsword]

....

I believe you are mistaking me for someone else, young man.

[notmisterharris]

You had that bookstore with lots of really rare books, right?

[noflamingsword]

I did. A pity it was lost.

What would your name be?

[notmisterharris]

I'm Xander! Xander Harris, fighter on the side of light etcetera. well, more like researcher coordinator guy, but anyhow.....

It's an honour to meet you, well, write at you.

[noflamingsword]

A pleasure to meet you, Xander.

What manner of book did you have in mind?

[notmisterharris]

Very much likewise, sir.

Well... I was wondering, I mean it's not like there's much my people can do about things now that our world's gone - but I can't help but wonder if maybe we'd overlooked one of those prophecies that might have said how to have stopped it. We usually just hurtle toward apocolypses one at a time, but while we were dealing with a potential one, we obviously missed the potential other.

[noflamingsword]

It was a shame about the loss of the world itself, if you don't mind me saying so.

Prophecies? I believe I can give you some insight if you wish. Mostly these things are ineffable.

Please, do not come to the cabin I currently recide in. It is... complicated. What is the number of yours?

[notmisterharris]

Not at all, though shame's kinda a calmer word than the one I've been thinking.

I had a feeling you'd say that, to be honest.

Complicated? Now you've got me curious - but I can respect that - I'm in 4-2, next door to your friend.

[noflamingsword]

At the very least some survived.

Really, now? Old habits are hard to break, I suppose.

So you have already met him. In that case I will not have any difficulty finding out where to go. Will you tell the doors I will come by?

[notmisterharris]

Yep, I'm doing a search - hopefully I'll find someone soon!

You can say that again.

Sure thing!

[lucifer_aeterna]

Warning people away? I don't bite, you know.

[noflamingsword]

The young man was asking a question: I merely answered.

[lucifer_aeterna]

And included a request that we both know was intended to keep him away from me. Don't you trust him to make up his own mind?

[younger_one]

It's a little unsporting.
