Yz. I travel the world, speaking weird things and making shit happen at random.

How are you, Kegs? I've run afoul of some fiends and I'm stuck in lonesome servitude, checking the books in and out. I long to find the proper words to make the chains dissolve...

I believe the magic words you're looking for are "Hello, 911? Im setting the library books on fire."

Nice police officers will arrive and relieve you of your chains and replace them with theirs.

This Sunday

Have you tried jumping into a book to escape? I'm not sure on the technique, but I have seen movies and in these book-worlds, despite weird wolfish monster things, there seem to be an unusually high rate of hot-looking people wandering around you can collect.

Alternately, start swapping the YA and adult sections one volume at a time and see how quickly someone will remove you from your shift.

I'm pretending to be a functional editor tonight. It's interesting.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:31 / 08.08.08

I might just random swap sections book-by-book. It's terrible, but making it difficult for people to find things might make the time pass quicker.

Editing! Yay.

I'll have story notes to you later tonight, I promise. I have an idea for another existential porn-gone-bad story that I plan to start tonight as well.

Saint Keggers

00:31 / 08.08.08

Dammit. Now I have the themesong to The Never Ending Story running through my head.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:34 / 08.08.08

That came out of nowhere.

If you're Bastian, I'll be Atreyu. Anyone want to be the Childlike Empress?

Saint Keggers

00:40 / 08.08.08

It didnt come out of nowhere, it came out of Decadent's advice to try "jumping into a book to escape? I'm not sure on the technique, but I have seen movies and in these book-worlds, despite weird wolfish monster things, there seem to be an unusually high rate of hot-looking people wandering around you can collect."

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:41 / 08.08.08

Aha. I was thinking more of the Thursday Next books than TNES.

This Sunday

00:42 / 08.08.08

Keggers, that theme song is penance for everything else. Not just everything else from The Neverending Story, but from everything else. The upshot, being that you don't have to fear any additional penance as long as you stop now.

Looking forward to your comments, Papers, and to your new potential maybe-happen story.

And, who doesn't want to be a vaguely-inefficient awkwardly-enigmatic child-ruler bathed in overused lighting effects?

This Sunday

00:45 / 08.08.08

Eh. You both win the prize.

Other acceptable answers could have included Labyrinth and The Pagemaster.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:46 / 08.08.08

I'm pretty excited about writing this story. The idea gelled when I was on the bus coming to this infernal library, and it's been rotating all day. I've been reading a fair number of Peter Milligan comics lately, which may have an interesting influence on the prose...

Also: admit it, if you had omnipotence you'd make everyone speak like a mid-90s X-Men character written by Lobdell for a whole day, wouldn't you? I would.

This Sunday

00:51 / 08.08.08

I'd make everyone talk like mid-nineties Lobdell's Jubilee, to be absolutely honest. And wear the coat and shades. Seriously.

And on that note, I back out of the lateshift slowly, to return in maybe an hour or so. See ya then, kids!

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

00:57 / 08.08.08

See ya, Dcdnt. Have a good time editing and we'll see you soon, hopefully.

This Sunday

01:26 / 08.08.08

So, this hour had slightly more than twenty-two minutes, but it is done and I am returned.

And I am returned with a plan. No matter the shipping. Regardless of who I have to beg or bribe into packing. I will get all of my movies, books, comics, and other stuff into one state before I die of old age. So it is written, so it is planned.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

01:39 / 08.08.08

Welcome back!

My chains, they still have not yet dissolved.

This Sunday

01:42 / 08.08.08

Have you tried using them to fight evil and win the heart of a childhood sweetheart? It seemed to work for Nicolas Cage, and frankly, Barbelith has gone way too long without even the suggestion of a good chainfight.

Hallo, Paper Spaceboy

01:50 / 08.08.08

Hmm. Perhaps when my 28 days is up I should be Ghost Paper or something. Burning forever but never ashes...

This Sunday

01:59 / 08.08.08

There aren't enough comics-related handles on this board. Ever. Except maybe when we almost had a full compliment of Avengers.

I'm still shooting for some variation on Aquatripper, I think. Although, Barbara Gordon, Decadent Congresswoman has deranged possibilities.

No. Aquatripper, it should be.
