I have heard that there are... I don't know if they are Aberrations or just a similar case to the Magical Girls and the set Road Home is tied with- ...I think someone just ran onto the floor, shouted something like "ban ban" and then "zumbo saws"... I feel like I'm being pranked...

My head still hurts, but looking at the two... Bright stars in the sky is comforting. ...Speaking of which, where the heck did the doodle me go...?

...I'm fine. I... I smell like quarters, but... I'm fine. The hell just happened... Where did the rain go?

. . . [Fuck I'm exhausted... feels gross too, lotta blood on me. How many times have I died now? Heh, can't remember... The rain subsides and a beacon shines in the distance. My agent... how brilliant you've become... A grin forms on my face once more, wider than ever, and I begin to laugh. I

...Hah- somehow it resonates with me. I like this song.

...I-I'm sorry but, I've... Had enough of troupes and... circuses for that matter... Eugh, if I think about it, I can hear the screeching of those monkeys again...

I... I heard you the first time-! Augh... Keep it down...

🌸...Well this certainly is unexpected. Can't say I enjoy these new surroundings... Locke, are you at the lighthouse?

🌸 Hey, Locke, just checking in. You alright? Been out for quite some time and I haven't heard from you.

[The Floor of Inhumanities suddenly changes in a roar of thunder, the sky changing to a near black shade of red as torrents of blood rain from the sky, and, across the Library, cyan and red flashes can be seen in the distance as the Fixer continues their fight against the distortion.]

;;I did a thing for folk to enjoy during this slight intermission c:

...Aren't you- ...The heck is the League of Nine...?

...Really? Really?

Just woke up, sorry... Just give me a minute and I'll be outside my office... I slept too long, dammit... Uh... Are doodles supposed to glow green, by the way...? @catalystarbiter.bsky.social @judgmentbird.bsky.social

📁...I saw this coming, and yet even I feel annoyance... Fine. I'll use this as a means to practice. I cannot allow myself to become idle with victory even if I know the outcome. Do pardon me, but the code requests this to be destroyed by my hands.

📁...If this small creature does not cease pecking at my patron's book, I shall render it dust entirely.

📁...It can't be this easily- Grave, Doodlocke, stay where you are if you see this. I'm placing this floor on temporary shutdown.

📁 ...I will speak on behalf of this floor. Seeing it's... current, staggered state. Everyone here, upon this floor, are sinners by your definition. The slothful sheep who hungers for dreams, the prideful phoenix robbed of sight and glory...

📁...It was foolish of me to perhaps try opposing fate. Even the steps I took... It's alright. I know the outcome. We just have to suffer until then. I can do this, at least.

📁...Firebird. I understand you don't want to deal with the likes of myself right now, but... Army and I need you present. Assuming you have not relapsed... Data shows you should be fine... ...Something has gone awry. Terribly. Please...

Relapse and Revert ;;Text in ALT

... This- This isn't good... Where is everyone...

📁Locke. We need you back here. I apologize for interrupting what you're doing, but I believe O-04-100 can handle it. If you don't have a Keypage with you, then I suggest bringing one.

📁 T-02-99. Do not do anything you will regret. It is difficult to convey only through this, but... I implore you, for your sake and everyone else's. I am deeply worried for the safety of everyone here.

🐑Where is Locke...? They must still be talking to that strange pair of guests with Grave... ...I better go find Army. He's perhaps getting just as worried as I am. If not... Worse given how he can be. I've got a bad feeling...

📁I have not seen O-02-101 for some time now. Perhaps it is something I had said. ...No matter. Scorn is something I'm accustomed to. As much as I would love to simply fix everything... Perhaps I have and this universe has been reformatted once more.

🐦‍🔥 Oi. File. Where are you? Got something I need to discuss with you and I keep... Running into these damn figures that aren't anyone at all. Not used to this layout at all either...

🐑Why are there snowmen lining the waters here... Never found any when the floor still had snow... ...Must be one of the strange visitors here. How peculiar.

🐑Firebird won't stop calling me "fucking sheeb" now... Perhaps I ought to go after his dreams... But Locke's taste much sweeter... And don't burn me.

🐑 ...I dare beg your pardon?

🌸 Hmm? A guest? Thought File locked us from... Well, if you walked here then that means you don't have an invite. What books are you seeking out? Certainly, nothing from this floor would spark any interest unless you're seeking out something... Dangerous. @rinceoffice.bsky.social

I wish I could invite Kenneth here... This uh, small vacation aside... I did want to talk to him. Must be on color duty again... He says he's too busy TT Chrissy’s been unavailable too... Sounds like they're dealing with a lot...

AAAAAAUGH-?! ...Please. Do. Not. Do that. I don't really have a proper heart anymore, but I think I just felt it stop entirely...

I started wondering how I could use this whole... Thing... to my advantage that isn't research... I want to get stronger personally since... If I can find a means out of here I don't want to rely on those Keypages since who knows if I would be able to use them at that point...
