Well, considering what I found in my little nook of this world. If anyone finds a gilded tablet book, or an ebony stone tablet book. Do me a favor.

Destroy it.

why?

[x_dilettante_x]

Because it's evil and rather inconvenient.

[thinking about it for a bit before replying. ... didn't he see a book like that at the Domino City Museum?]

wait is it one of those creepy old books from like egypt with mummies and weird egyptian guys who turn people into zombies?

[x_dilettante_x]

[Nail on head.]

Not sure about zombies but everything else does fit.

[whiteduplicity]

[Pinged.]

What do they do?

[x_dilettante_x]

Nothing good that's for sure.

Better off gone and out of our hair.

[whiteduplicity]

Could you be more specific, please?

[x_dilettante_x]

Ever heard of Anubis?

Ancient Egypt meet H.P. Lovecraft :v

[fuck_mistletoe]

You gotta wonder why people would leave stuff like that lying around in the first place...

What do these books do? Bring back the dead? Summon demon gods from space?

xDD nice

[x_dilettante_x]

This place is odd enough to have that happen.

Demon Gods...from Space? Good Lord, I really hope not! Demons on Earth are bad enough.

Re: xDD nice

[fuck_mistletoe]

Those kinds are pretty bad too.

But if I see anything like that book, I'll burn it or something. I've had enough trouble with books containing forbidden knowledge and the dark secrets of the universe.

More trouble than they're worth.

[x_dilettante_x]

We are in agreement on that my friend.

They really are, especially when you go through all the trouble of acquiring said book and wind up with nothing but camel spit and a bad arm for your troubles.

[witchoftheweek]

Forbidden knowledge that can threaten the universe, I suppose?

[x_dilettante_x]

Not sure about the universe but it is rather dodgey I'm afraid.

[witchoftheweek]

Is it the knowledge itself or the way it is presented?

[x_dilettante_x]

No the knowledge itself. Honestly the way it's presented may be what's protecting it in modern times.

Not too many two-bite crooks about that can read Ancient Egyptian.

[madwashu]

Hm..? I admit, you have gained my curiosity. Why would you want the books destroyed?

[x_dilettante_x]

Because they're more trouble then they're worth. If one wasn't made of gold it'd be worthless.

[madwashu]

How can a book be that much trouble?

[x_dilettante_x]

[He has to smirk a bit at that- after all, he and Evy had asked the same thing.]

You'd be surprised how troublesome 'light' reading can be.
