[ A neatly typed sheet of paper. ]
This is X. Mrs. Harker has already suggested that we share information concerning our stay here and the changes that we've noticed. I have suggested that once we have gathered enough information we can hold a meeting to discuss our findings and figure out a few solutions to some of the issues we're facing.

[ Like the randomness of food, or the rather strange lack of patterns for the Stacks. ]

But first, due to the nature of where I'm from, I have what you can call an understanding of extraordinary abilities granted through outside forces. I've noticed a change in my own capabilities, and I would like to know if others have noticed their own changes as well.

You don't have to tell us what those changes are. All I want to know if any one else has noticed that they have gained a new talent that allows more control inside the Library.

YOU WORK AT FOMO???

[ Yeah, he basically wasted an entire page to write that. ]

You were right under their noses the whole time! I thought Mr. Zac was competent!

[defyingreality]

[ He is just laughing. Honestly that was worth it, though it would be more worth it if he could see Wreck's expression. ]

In some things he is pretty good, but it's not like he looks at his own employees all the time.

[awreck]

[ Well obviously that will be the next ability X will torture Wreck with!!! ]

Or ever. It's FOMO. How does FOMO miss something like the number 1 ranked hero working for them?

I have absolutely no idea how you got away with it for so long! Does FOMO not have Trust requirements?

[ Wreck assumes they would have either seen a low Trust if X doesn't need it, or a ridiculously high Trust if they ever needed to take a look at it recently and X might not have been able to do anything about it. Seriously, how did this happen?! ]

[defyingreality]

[ But of course. X is made to troll all the other heroes after all. ]

Honestly no one really pays me any attention. I'm just another person in the company, though I might sometimes snap out if things are getting awkward.

Oh yeah, they do. But my natural Trust levels aren't that high.

[awreck]

[ To be fair, X's civilian appearance was... not at all what what Wreck had been expecting. He doesn't want to say it was plain, but... yeah, X could honestly pass for your average salaried office worker in any company.

And--wait, did X just say "snap out?" He just leaves? Well... checks out. Knowing he won't get a straight answer out of X, Wreck dares to ask: ]

What does your snap even do?

[defyingreality]

Whatever I want to do. [ Not an answer. not really. ] If I want to use it.

[awreck]

Did you choose to come here, then? Could you actually leave if you wanted to?

[defyingreality]

Not really, but I was wandering a bit in the dimensions and it probably took a chance to grab me. And no. Can't even get into the space between the walls.

[awreck]

I guess being able to do that would be pretty normal for you. Although I still think the only benefit of that is dodging attacks.

[ "Wandering the dimensions," though. WOW. Wreck can't get over how X just has these godlike powers and talks about them like someone whose superpower is crossing the road while adhering to all traffic laws might do. ]

[defyingreality]

It does help! [ He just laughs a bit more because really? That was just scratching the surface of what he can do. ]

Oh, I was wondering, have you heard of a anti-hero called Graffiti King?

[awreck]

Are you asking because you have something to share, or are you asking because you're expecting me to answer a certain way?

[defyingreality]

It's nothing much; the Commission put a bounty out on me and he's one of the people that showed up when I was taking Ahu for a walk.

It's just his outfit reminded me of yours. Different power set but same costume theme.
