CLOSES HIS FUCKING EYES]

He wanted us to fight for the right to be Hunter 1.

[bookpapers]

[ITTO...........]

...Was he pushy?

[ITTO, DID YOU DO THIS?]

[greatvalue]

He wouldn't drop it. [TIREDLY.] But at least he got distracted after he noticed the doors were locked.

[bookpapers]

So he's still got priorities, huh? Good to know.

[a little dryly]

What happened after?

[greatvalue]

We noticed the door in the back wasn't locked. But we couldn't go any further than the bonfire, though.

After that... I guess we fell asleep?

[bookpapers]

[THAT BONFIRE!! COSMO!!!!!! but more importantly, lavi draws up short]

-- It wasn't locked? But the front door was?

[greatvalue]

[he nods.]

It had a doorstop, so that might be why.

[bookpapers]

A doorstop?

[HE JUST. PAUSES AT THAT. WHAT]

...Was it still there in the morning?

[greatvalue]

Probably? We were stuck anyway, so I didn't think much of it.

[bookpapers]

...Everyone I've talked to so far said they were locked inside wherever they were -- dorms, library, planetarium. Yours is the only one so far with a discrepancy.

[...]

We should go back and check the bar out.

[greatvalue]

We need to go back anyway. That's where he was last sighted. Though... everything looked about the same when I woke up.

[tho fwiw mods said rule of funny as to why they had the bonfire but maybe the mods are Liars we just don't know]

[bookpapers]

[forces us to spiral over the bonfire

Lavi's shoulders slump at that,]

Library too, whatever damage we did in there's back to normal.

[greatvalue]

[we spend the first 8 hours spiraling over a doorstopper]

What did you do to the library?

[bookpapers]

Broke a chair. [threw it like the hulk at the door] Zelgadis had his sword and tried for the door, but no luck.

[greatvalue]

... Huh, the chair you broke was back to normal when you woke up?

[bookpapers]

Yup, same for the door too. The scratch he left -- poof.

[greatvalue]

Weird... Maybe the demons magicked the mess away before we woke up. They had to be up and about if the time to take pictures and beek about it.

[bookpapers]

[immediately frowns at remembering the beek]

...That's what I'm leaning towards. Dunno if they did that to just make us mad, or to stop someone else cleaning up though.

[greatvalue]

I dunno... If someone wanted to hide their tracks, why would they wait to clean up after themselves? They did it, they're already there and everyone else is asleep. Just do it.

[bookpapers]

[...]

So they'd have the whole night, huh? [great....]

[greatvalue]

... Yeah, I think so.

[A beat.]

By the way, Tuuri said something happened to you in the library. With... a meteor?

[bookpapers]

She told you that?

[he doesn't seem bothered though, as he nods]

It landed on the library and made the books come alive when we touched them. And even before that, our phones started playing a song outta nowhere. Different from the one we heard last night.

[greatvalue]

Yes.

[At least she didn't snitch about his secret Chandra shrine...

Hunter furrows his brows, though, thinking.]

Sorry, can you describe what happened with more detail? It's just that... it sounds a lot like something from my world.

[bookpapers]

[His secret WHAT

Lavi immediately looks intrigued,]

Well, the meteor had a face on it, a sad one. [it had the crying emoji] And the impact made some of the books glow green, which was what made us want to open them.

When Ego opened hers, she changed into a dress the character was wearing, and it also started raining in the library. We could hear swordfighting sounds too. Chandra's was a romance, so a girl showed up and started talking to him. And then she attacked him...

Mine was pretty much the same, except I was saying the lines as it happened. The guy was sick, so I got sick too.

[greatvalue]

Oh— [GASPS...] The Wailing Star! Libraries in the Boiling Isles have to close their doors early on the years it passes through our orbit.

But... how did it land in hell?
