The first peaceful day

[Anastasia]

A simple headshake is your answer.

[Nephrite]

"You should really get out more." Moore says as he withdraws the proper amount to hand over.

[Anastasia]

The coins are taken, vanishing within his robes. "When do you want to go?"

[Nephrite]

"Now, preferably." Moore answers.

[Anastasia]

Braxos pushes his stew aside and stands. He begins to lead you back, and once clear of the noise, "The Deep Stacks are mainly dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but there are things you may have to fight. It's been dimensionally folded over and over, and things have become thin and twisted there."

[Nephrite]

"You're not obligated to fight if we do." Moore says. "We can handle ourselves."

[Anastasia]

"Your choice," Braxos says, "But I doubt a solar needs much help from either of us."

Cresiel merely keeps going, not commenting on that at all.

[Nephrite]

Everywhere he goes, he's underestimated... alas, such is the life of the humble.

Moore will proceed along, keeping an eye out for anything... dangerous?

[Anastasia]

Give me Perception.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 91.

[Anastasia]

Right now it's just books - seemingly endless books. You walk for well over an hour, through corridor after corridor. Some slope down, others wind up like a snake. It's a meandering journey, the only light from clear glass fixtures above, giving just enough light to read comfortably by.

Yet as you go, you begin to notice...oddities. Books that are too big or too small. Paths that seem to turn in on themselves as you as you walk. Places where the ceiling is suddenly too high, soaring up and up.

[Nephrite]

"Can the spatial anomalies not be corrected?" Moore asks as they go along.

[Anastasia]

"They're not going to be," Braxos says, shortly. He doesn't offer up anything more, striding forward with big, space eating steps. You have to flutter pretty good to keep up.

Cresiel doesn't, walking at a steady pace. "Why?"

"To experiment and learn. You think they couldn't do this better?" Braxos grunts after, "Eventually, copies and strange distortions manifest - including, I've heard, books never written."

[Nephrite]

"Ah, so it's not a matter of they can't fix them, it's that you learn more by letting them be." Moore says as he continues along.

[Anastasia]

"Chances to learn," An agreement from that, "Dangerous as you go deeper, for it gets worse."
