[We all know the sounds of flipping randomly through a book, do we perhaps remember the sounds of someone opening it and shaking it up and down? HE CANT HELP IT HE'S CURIOUS Give him a minute, he'll think of a better plan.]

[Bordering excitement] H-hey, does anybody know how these really work? I mean, a way that isn't just "magic?"

Maybe

Is "magic" not a valid explanation to you?

[sniperkingftw]

It's not exactly that. Just- that stuff usually only really works for humans and animals.

Not, uh, books.

[1week_wizard]

Your thinking is limited then. There is a whole classification of enchanted literature called "grimoire".

[sniperkingftw]

Really?

[1week_wizard]

Of course. I am the expert on the matter, after all.

[sniperkingftw]

[expert on magic books- bingo.]

Well do you know how those work, then?

[1week_wizard]

A grimoire is only as powerful as the sorcerer who created it. These were likely created by a sorcerer whose skills lay in the power of communication through unorthodox means.

[sniperkingftw]

Huh. That's...a really interesting theory.

[1week_wizard]

It's not that terribly far-fetched, either.

[sniperkingftw]

Definitely not.

[1week_wizard]

If you are interested in learning more about the nature of grimoires, I do magic tutoring at the library.

[sniperkingftw]

I'll have to drop in sometime. [Definitely an opportunity to take. The more he knows about this stuff, the better.]

[1week_wizard]

I'll keep an eye out for you, then.

[sniperkingftw]

Okay!

Oh, I'm Usopp, by the way.
