I think I get why people get so annoyed when they try to fight me.

[ He's somewhat amused by what had happened. Mainly because what happened felt a lot like what he usually does to other people - well, Phobiaclones didn't count but still - except that he was one of those other people this time. He had felt that something was going to happen, the same gentle way that he felt matters shift back home but without the pressing headache or the way reality suddenly was sounds-light-energy blending into thoughts pressing on his head. ]

Anyways, I had a feeling that this was going to be a low effort kind of event a few minutes before it hit, and I guess it was an ability? From the Library? Like the way I can almost create items from books, or talk instead of write in the journals. We really need to work on complying exactly what everyone can do in order to make better choices going forward. That story was gentle. I doubt we will have such luck next time.

In other news, I can procure a almost decent pot of coffee so long as I don't walk away, so if anyone wants some, just ask.

Oh, I wasn't fighting. I found the plushies and then observed the humans 'in their natural habitat' while ignoring the whole therapy thing. But back home, there were fights daily. It was expected especially for the Heroes.

It would make sense. I can't see this place having each person gain abilities that won't help them inside the books - if that's something we need to do a lot of. The library is unfinished so I bet we are here to finish what we can to make room for more unfinished works.

While I understand the charm of studying creatures in what's a somewhat natural environment for them, I feel like that if we're talking about the story... those 'humans' could not be accurate to their real counterparts.

i wonder if we should start working on some level of compendium for... all of this. I'd take care of it myself, but I'm roughly at least twice the size of other beings in this place so I'm not entirely certain it'd be convenient for everyone. As for those powers, perhaps they only serve small purposes here for the sake of entertaining us? Since we seem unable to carry them in the Stories?

We are in some sort of prison, when you think of it, it could be considered 'enrichment'.

For the aliens that were there, it's what they thought. Or at least that's what my role thought.

It had been suggested before, but I think we really do need to make one. I have a feeling that just because we have overlaps in abilities, understanding how they work will differ between people.

Oh, I can't deny that, but I also feel a lot like being stuck at a working retreat as well. At least there's no forced team building activities.

Well, perception of the truth was warped while inside the story, wasn't it? It doesn't surprise me at all if those who had their thoughts touched believed their world to be 'the norm'. Sadly, I never had a chance to interact with humans before entering that place, so it's hard for me to tell.

Mhm. I wonder how we should proceed in that sense. And I wonder if more souls will join us in this peculiar journey.

No, zero planned activities, still I think it wouldn't be a bad thing to learn to face this place as an united front.

[defyingreality]

Mm, that's true. Truth and perception of that is often a personal thing. As editors we have to go inside the story to experience it; I wonder if that also makes changes that we aren't aware of just because of our subconscious difference from those we are replacing.

A place like this won't just settle with a small handful like what we have now.

Agreed, but like all things, we are looking at herding cats since there are vast differences in realities people are from.
