[[Ross is browsing the library.  He feels something off in his chest, today, a little voice whispering to him to go and change things.  That's why he'll stay here until long past his normal "safe" excursions.

He needs to set some things straight.  So, he needs materials.

He's collecting pen and paper.  He uses a sliding ladder to get up to a top

[[Lillie is browsing the shelves as well- although perhaps 'pacing and plotting' is more like it.]]

Good morning, Grandfather~

Perhaps all new additions can just use this thread as well?

[itwillbetragedy]

Good morning, granddaughter.

[[He takes a step down the ladder.]]

Tell me, Lilie, what is Drosselmeyer like in your world?

[agonymiserylulz]

[[Thoughtful head tilt.]]

Clever. Mysterious. Powerful, of course. Oh! Is this a trick question? Some sort of a test~?

[itwillbetragedy]

No, I just want to piece together our worlds. I am afraid...granddaughter, in the memories that my older self gave to me, you are not my heir and you have no powers.

[agonymiserylulz]

Well...
[[A long pause as she fiddles with her curls.]]
It's to be expected, I suppose. With so many worlds out there, not all of my doubles can be as wonderful as I~

[itwillbetragedy]

Of course not. I am glad that I know of all of this, though. It will be infinitely helpful in planning my machine.

Must dash, will be back in an hour or two!

[agonymiserylulz]

Your... machine? You don't mean...

Sure.

[itwillbetragedy]

The story-machine, obviously.

[agonymiserylulz]

Oh, how exciting! May I assist you, pleasepleaseplease~?

[itwillbetragedy]

Sorry. I am not building it yet, and you will not be around in the timeline when I do, unfortunately.

back!

[agonymiserylulz]

Whatever do you mean?

[itwillbetragedy]

Well, I know I will build it when I am older than sixty-five...and I am at home, at Kinkan.

[agonymiserylulz]

Oh, that story. But, anyway, I was thinking... why not write one now as well?

[itwillbetragedy]

Because I think I have learned enough from this place. I have no desire to become god here...as opposed to leaving. I simply wish to go back to Kinkan and assume my position and create my destiny.

[agonymiserylulz]

Then why not? Think of it as... a farewell party.

[itwillbetragedy]

Granddaughter, I have had an immense amount of fun and learned so many things here. But this is not where I belong, and this is not my destiny. I have ruled over these characters, seen how they do not accept it. I am prepared. I will understand, and I will suffer.

[[He laughs.]]

I no longer wish for these complicated matters, here...all useless, now. If I was to have a party, it would be a massacre.
