@librarianhokma.bsky.social Getting that good exercise in, Old Man?

Phoof… Boy, don’t I know it… Me personally? I’ve got a real bad headache. Sun got to me real bad during August and September— Damn unbearable, it was. Hopefully it should be cooler soon.

Hey, hey— Just, ah… checkin’ in to see how everybody’s been doing as of late, given I haven’t stopped by in a while! Hope this place hasn’t dusted up any while I’ve been gone, heh. Me personally, been real busy lately, and I’ve come down with this awful headache recently… but— Overall, ain’t bad.

@orlando-il-furioso.bsky.social Speak, Roland - what does PMSky need?

Hey, hey! I’m a bit late to the party, I know, but I just wanted to pop back in for a bit to wish a Happy June to all of ya. Sure, I *am* 9 days late, and granted I *have* been a bit busy, but… better late than never, right? Anyway, back to what I was sayin’— Happy June, guys! [+]

I, ah… Oh, man. You— You do know that that’s *not* how the old saying goes, right..? …Yeesh. Maybe I shoulda stayed gone…

Y’know, as the day comes to a close, overall I think I had a pretty good Birthday today. I, ah… hah— Admittedly, I’m not really the type of guy that throws large, grand birthday celebrations for himself when his day comes. It’s just not really my style, y’know? [+]

May 15th, baby! Now it really *is* my birthday!

Hey, Hey! I know I haven't popped in here for a good while (mainly 'cause I haven't had much reason to in the first place, heh..), but I thought that since tomorrow's my birthday, I should swing on by and check in you guys for a bit, see how things're going and what not. [+}

Hey, Hey! I know I haven't popped in here for a good while (mainly 'cause I haven't had much reason to in the first place, heh..), but I thought that since tomorrow's my birthday, I should swing on by and check in you guys for a bit, see how things're going and what not. [+}

You’ll never believe this, right, but I actually *did* try and get a hobby going as of late! ‘S why I’ve been basically M.I.A. for the past week. Been spending my spare time with Netzach when I can, and this time I *ain’t* drinking myself to death with him. Guy’s been teaching me art! [+]

Mmmn… "500 Feral Hogs", huh? I mean, hell— If she *did* do something like that, I’d be the first to know given I’m around her most of the time. But, as it stands? Nope, there’s been no invitations sent out to… *500 Feral Hogs*. Rest assured, you can sleep well at night, buddy. No hogs here.

…Man— Let me tell ya, it’s *absurd* to think that nothing interesting’s happened for the past 6 or so days, but it’s sadly true. Really, nothing’s happened, at least to me. Usually, I’d have somethin’ to write about by now, but… nope. Zero. Zilch. Nothing to write home about, just livin’. Damn…

Y’know— I’m only now realizing that this outfit kinda makes me look like a chef, with all of the predominantly white color scheming & the black accents and all. I mean, it *is* pretty fitting, but still. It’s funny, ain’t it? Chef Roland… heh— that ain’t so bad.

Bah, c’mon, this is obviously a false accusation. Defamatory, too! When have I *ever* lied to you, or anyone else for that matter? I, the True and Honest White Noise, have never said anything else except the truth and nothing but the whole truth. I would never lie. Ever.

Guess who finally got *their* own status as a Color Fixer recognized again?! That’s right, *this guy*, baby! The Black Si— Agh, I mean— The *White Noise* is back and better than ever, right before your very eyes! The True and Honest White Noise. Aheh— If only…

I’ve gotta clear a lot of paperwork for this, especially since the guys just handed me the damn thing on a Silver Platter without me even so much as *asking* for it. Apparently? You ain’t supposed hand a *country* over like that, so I’ve kinda gotta fill out a *lot* of forms here.

Ah, well— Gee– Thanks. Thanks a lot, really. I mean– you *are* right, I don’t really get this often from other people around me, or… *at all*, y’know? Very rarely does someone ever make that kinda remark about me. Probably for a good reason, but, eh. So, ah… thanks, man. Thanks a bunch, seriously.

Hey hey, no problem! Me n’ my guys aim to make the best quality food available for the cheapest price possible, so I’m glad you lot liked it.

Candy, eh? Well— Sorry to say, Pals, but I ain’t got any candy for ya, with or without sorrow. I, ah, ain’t exactly the type of person to just keep candy on hand at all times, y’know? …You *can* order some desserts from RcRoland’s, though, if that’s what you’re askin’. We’ve got cakes n’ such.

Ah, refreshing Sometimes it is quite nice to... not give a shit. I disappeared and the world still turns, the tea is still warm... although it seems many missed me in my absence, hm?

…Y’know— It’s still a little jarring to see different versions of people that I consider to be my friends running around and talkin’ to me. At the end of the day, they’re still my friends, sure, and I’ve *finally* gotten used to dealing with this whole “mirror world” stuff, but it’s still… weird.

…I’m not gonna kiss a man, you guys know that, right? I— I ain’t gay, I said it in the post. I’ve said it several times! What’s this fixation that you guys’ve got on me kissing men?? It- It ain’t happening, alright? Gay dudes are awesome, I just ain’t one. Got it?

Hm, what I think about the other Patron Librarians, huh? Can do. For starters, they’re all pretty much my good friends! Well— Most of them, anyway. Still a bit iffy on Hokma, but… we’re on good terms, I think. At least on my perspective. They’ve all got a little somethin’ to ‘em, it’s nice. [+]

Honestly? You’d think I would have one by now, but nope. Haven’t got one. I will say, though, that I have learnt to appreciate caffeine and the taste of Black Coffee now more, though. It’s… still a bit bitter for me, sure, but it’s an acquired taste. It ain’t bad, I like it! [+]

Well— Yeah, of course I’ve still got the gloves *and* the weapons. You can see the gloves in my profile photo clear as day, cant’cha? And, while I do appreciate the offer, sorry bud—I ain’t buyin’ what you’re sellin’, I’m happy with my stuff as is. I do appreciate the offer, though! Thanks, man!

250, 250, 250!!! Half way to 500, baby! This really means a lot, y’know? 250 of you guys, tuned in to specifically watch… whatever it is that I decide to post. I ain’t a exactly a *popular* guy, nor am I the best morally, but— y’know, still. Thanks a lot for caring, aye? Cheers, to all of ya!

Alright— Apparently, lots of people have been accusing me of being a “homophobe” for some reason, so I thought I should say somethin’ about it— …I’m not? I’m pretty openly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, hell— Chesed’s one of my best pals! This, ah.. This is gonna sound real ridiculous… [+]

Homemade Tea, eh..? I mean— Hell, sure, I’ll do what I can. I can’t guarantee that everyone’ll try it, but why not? I haven’t had some tea in a good while, so honestly I’m kinda lookin’ forward to this. And— Thanks, buddy. I may not exactly *know* who you are, but, I do appreciate the sentiment!

Y’know— Nothing of note really happened today, not much for me to talk about over here in terms of “What did Roland get up to today?” given it’s been pretty slow overall. Though, that ain’t exactly all bad. Sluggish, boring days tend to happen sometimes, can’t do anything about it. Let it be, aye?

I, ah… I don’t know, actually. What’re you asking me here? …If you’re gonna ask me something, at least bother to make it a full question, aye? Don’t just say “y’know” and expect me to get it. … Hey, wait— Is this mocking the way that I say “y’know” a lot?! Agh, damn, should’ve expected it—

He-Hey! Now *that’s* what I’m talking about! Honestly, The Library really needs more people running around in suits and what not. Surely *I* can’t be the only one with a sharp and stylish fashion taste… I mean, they’re practical, they’re snazzy, they fit every situation, they’re inconspicuous…

…I feel ya, buddy. I feel ya.

W-WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?!

...I distinctly recall Angela threatening one of the assistant librarians with placing them inside of some form of a torturous, simulated landscape if they didn't behave. This kinda reminds me of that.

Y'know- The interfaces on these terminals here really remind me of the old user interfaces on the Doorman97 Computers that we used to have in Charles' Office. We, ah, mainly used 'em 'cause at the time a lot of the software that we were running for work didn't have compatibility with newer systems.

This, ah... heh- This is one friendly little title screen, ain't it? "ULTRAKILL"... real metal. Readin' the reviews here, it says that the game's kind of like, ah... a "Boomer Shooter with its intensity and physics cranked up to 11", so I'm kinda goin' into this with pretty high expectations. [+]

Y’know— I’ve been thinking lately… I’m… kinda outta touch with all of The City’s modern gaming culture for someone my age, y’know? I mean– I’m only 33, that’s pretty young city-wise, and I still fondly regard the old stuff like Classic DooM and the Wolfenstein Games… [+]

The, ah… the “Eternal and Unending Struggle of a Woman taped to the Ceiling”, or something like that.

…Y’know— Aside from this being a ridiculously absurd thing to suggest, you do make a pretty good point. Now, since mine are disassembled, to actually blow the damn thing up I’d have to place the detonator *inside* the bomb first, *then* prime it, then actually go drop the thing… [+]

Finally, *someone* sees what *I* see!

My Silence? Black.

Been listening to a lot more Jazz in my downtime lately, and honestly, I gotta say— The stuff’s quite good! It’s nice n’ funky, and the Brass & Woodwind instruments in ‘em are honestly a joy to hear. I’ve been having kind of a shit day today, I won’t lie to ya, but Jazz makes it all better…

Y’know, I’ve actually considered adding on more weapons to my already wide enough Arsenal, but I don’t really… *know* what to add, y’know? Besides, I think it’s pretty good as is— Does all I need it to, has a weapon for every situation, mutes all sound, is pretty damn reliable… It’s good as is. [+]

I mean— Technically, I suppose they are..? Angela sewed ‘em back on *using* light, and gave me some new joints along with ‘em to boot, but they don’t really “disappear” when I enter and exit the Library. It’d be kinda fucked up if my Limbs just kinda stayed hangin’ out at the door of the place… [+]

On some personal level, yeah, I can empathize with her. Not *fully* relate to her, given that her tragedies are horrifically different to mine, but still. We’re both victims of circumstance, y’know? People who had nothing to lose when they did what they did, the act they’ll be remembered by…

…By “regular librarians”, I’m assuming that’cha mean the assistant librarians, right? ‘Cause if that’s the case, well, of course they’re still around! The guys are tied to The Library, just like most of The Patron Librarians. …Save for yours truly, of course! I’m a free man, I go wherever! [+]

…Rest in peace, Old Man. He’ll come back later though, no doubt about it.

Woke up today with a nasty back ache from yesterday, but the good news is that I finally managed to finish sorting through and cataloguing that entire gargantuan pile of books that Angela dropped off! All it cost me was my time and, ah… my back. Takin’ some painkillers now to try and ease the pain…
