...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.

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]

[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.

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

What did you do to the library?

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

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

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

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.

[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.

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.

[...]

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

... Yeah, I think so.

[A beat.]

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

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.

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.

[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.

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?

[????]

-- So it's from your world? [...] Does it usually vanish right after? Make everything go back to normal?

Well, it's... never crashed into a library before. So maybe it's not exactly the same. But yes, the magic fades eventually and everything goes back to normal.
