How big is this freaking Library!?

Does it come with a freaking indoor water park!?>

[thesettingsun]

No, but there's a nice pond in the courtyard. Very scenic.

[flametheif40]

That, actually sounds really nice...

where is it? I'd like to try to study there next time, might help me actually focus

[thesettingsun]

Apprassage. It's the gigantic library, bigger than the one we had before, can't miss it.

[flametheif40]

So its just a regular library(in terms of the books within) or is more specialized toward something?

0_0 or is it big enough to basically have everything?

[thesettingsun]

Basically everything that's in Japanese. If you can't read Japanese, it's not going to be very useful.

[flametheif40]

Oh...well crap.

yeah, can't read japanese if my life depended on it.

I assume other you is from Japan then? What are the differences between your world and this one?

[thesettingsun]

Past me is a dead author summoned by alchemy as an ink spirit to fight monsters inside of books.

So there's that.

[flametheif40]

wait...so you were already dead...and you got brought back by alchemy, to fight monsters inside of books...

Umm, what kind of monsters? and...what would they do?

[thesettingsun]

They're called Taints, and they destroy literature. Past me was an author, so obviously he couldn't have that.

[flametheif40]

Ah, yeah that does make sense. So, I guess...obvious question.

Ever tried looking your other self up to see if he did somehow exist in this world?

[thesettingsun]

I did, he did, and I wish I'd never read anything of his.

[flametheif40]

That bad? Dare I ask, what did he write?

[thesettingsun]

Auto-biographies.

[Go on, guess what Shuji thinks of his past self.]

[flametheif40]

Okay...that...doesn't sound too bad...

I take it he lived a super boring life?

Did he at least, write it well?

[thesettingsun]

You've got it all wrong. His life wasn't boring at all, in part because he was a huge fuckhead.

[flametheif40]

I'm probably going to kick myself for asking...

But what was he like and the life he lead?

[thesettingsun]

You know those assholes who are constantly pitying themselves and cry at the drop of a hat, so you almost feel a little sorry for them, but then they're terrible to anyone who does try to help them out?

That was him.

[flametheif40]

oh boy...

does he have the story to actually back it up? Mentally unstable?

tw: suicide talk

[thesettingsun]

I don't have any memories of him going to a doctor or a therapist or anything, but I've remembered three separate suicide attempts, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say he had something that really could have used some help.

Re: tw: suicide talk

[flametheif40]

Yeah...it probably wasn't easy that's for sure.

Did he enjoy himself after coming back?

Through alchemy right?

also, could you perform that same alchemy if someone here were to die?

[thesettingsun]

He was still a mess, just a dead mess.

I don't think so. Past me wasn't an alchemist, just someone alchemy was used on, if that makes sense?

[flametheif40]

Gosh, still?

Oh, and I guess your past self wasn't given that info?

Cause that would be useful as hell...although I don't know how I would feel being an ink blob...thing. But better then dead?

[thesettingsun]

'Better than dead' is a very low bar to clear, but you aren't wrong.
