Library, lobby

"Well, what I meant was I can really just give you a cliff notes kind of version; if you want anything elaborated upon you'd have to come and speak with me, or Writer" Miss Tairee #8 said, seeming to think for a moment. "Alright, here we are. This includes all major points that I've already been allowed to discuss previously as well" the eighth librarian added as a note appeared in the air.

Foes created in the city are just copies.

The Miss Tairee here is not the first; it's just a title for the Writer's current assistant.

All of Writer's assistants along with Director's and Developer's are recruited after death.

All of these assistants start their career being challenged to try to fight the Writer/Director/Developer; this is to teach them from experience that it's futile.

Time as you understand it is basically an irrelevant factor to the trio and their assistants. We could reach to the beginning and end of your universe and any time in between; if your universe even has a beginning and end rather than being a cycle or some other form of time.

The computer in the library is not the source of Miss Tairee's power nor is it strictly necessary for her. It is simply a shortcut method that makes it easier for her; the computer would do nothing for you even if you could manage to use it.

Writer, Director, and Developer made the entire multiverse. Sometimes through indirect methods, but everything that exists is their collective creation. Yes, even your own universes.

Humanity is so widespread because the trio like to use humanity repeatedly; humans are versatile both physically and in other regards without being too complicated. This is also why many other species in the multiverse are superficially similar to humans only with aesthetic changes or slight differences in body structure.

The city's project is not simply a book; the city is a reference material for Writer to give him inspiration to continue making new universes and not have the multiverse stagnate.

And pretty much anything else you'd like to know about that isn't a personal question or about what's going to come up in the last few days of the city's existence will probably be answered at the library if you ask.

You are reading this.

Library-> Streets

There was a moment of silence as Arcade walked with Cole out of the library after the contemplative thoughts. "Right, well," he muttered, clearly at a loss, "that's a theory, I guess."

I say that aloud too sometimes, just: "man, no life."

Library lobby

The idea that the WRITER, the being that caused all of this, might actually be AT the library to talk to instead of just on the other end of a suggestion box gave Curly pause while Miss Tairee typed. "Yeah, I figured I'd come back if I had more questions. Just trying to catch up a bit for now." She took the note, folded it up to put in a pocket and gave a slightly awkward smile "Thanks. And, sorry for kind of pushing Lewis to alter his call".

With that she quickly headed back to Lewis "So! Any idea what movie you guys want to watch yet, or do we just want to find a rooftop and see if we can watch the city shift or something?"

lewis, noping out of the library, go diet, mystery

Arthur whined, still being crushed while I just stood there faintly giggling. Some things never changed, did they. It was...nice. "I'd ask you to do something but you physically can't from there. Still, why you gotta mock me, man?" he joke-complained.

"'Bro', you say? Well, you're not really dying, so I don't have to do anything. Too bad."

"But he's really heavy and it's awkward to look at the screen."

"...Ok, fair enough. Mystery, let him see."

Mystery shifted just enough to let Arthur sit up properly, in exchange for extending across the whole couch bed that I'd somehow missed.

"...Are you at Vivi's?"

"Uh, yeah. We decked the place in anti-tree stuff and now we're just hanging here until we can do something else. Which...fire."

"Right..." I looked at Curly coming back, slowly starting toward the door. "Well I'm kinda hungry first...I guess the party thing'll have both but, I don't know how I feel about crowds."

Library to Outside
After Hercules explained at length to Zeus about what happened to him while he was in the city, Zeus finally then said: “Looks like your coping very well despite your situation. You’ve managed to at least make some friends while you’ve been in the City. I can rest easy knowing this and so will your mother in fact.” Hercules nodded at this sentiment.

“No matter what happens, I’ll keep going until the day finally comes when I can come back home. I promise you father, I won’t let you down.” Hercules then declared, vowing that whatever happened to him he would make through it this ordeal. Upon hearing this Zeus then smiled with glee and gave Herc the biggest thumbs up he could.

“That’s my boy! He cried out. “Nothing is going to slow you down! Show the City what you can do. “

Herc then gave his old man a determined look and nodded in response: “I will dad, I will. I’ll see you when I get back, bye Dad.” He replied cheerfully waving goodbye to Zeus.

“See you soon, Hercules!” Zeus replied waving back to his son. “Stay safe and make me proud.” And once the conversation was concluded, Hercules then touched the mirror again and it then disappeared.

“Now what should I do?” Hercules then asked himself as he walked away from the table he was sitting at, he was then tapping his chin in thought and then he remembered something.

“Ben!” Hercules then remembered that he had left Ben on his lonesome before the call and figured he would be outside. So without saying another word Herc quickly rushed out the entrance to the Library and sure enough found his friend just about to leave again.

“Ben! Ben!” Hercules called out as he rushed over to his friend, glad to have caught up with him.

The streets

As Ben sulked towards nowhere in particular down one of the nearby streets, he heard the sound of his name being called. He stopped, glancing back and seeing Hercules coming to call for him.

A slight smile appeared on Ben's face and he turned more fully towards the Greek hero.

"Hey, Hercules," he said. "Good to see you." He looked over Hercules again, taking note of his body language. No... Hercules couldn't possibly be upset at him. Everything was showing just how glad Herc was to see him. It was reassuring, that someone still saw him as a friend. It made him feel warm inside. His smile widened.

"I heard there was gonna be a party out by one of the balconies," he explained. "They said there was gonna be fun and games and food and movies and stuff. I was heading out there. Did you wanna come with?" he asked.

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.

Leaving/outside Library - Tree troubles?

Curly chuckled guiltily at the dog's antics, seemed like despite the awkwardness being able to see them was helping Lewis already. "Yeah, I guess we could go, but I'm not much of a party girl. Not a whole lot of opportunities to go clubbing after being MIA for 10 years... And that sounds like the kind of thing that's going to go on until dawn." she shrugged "Maybe we can find that buffet or something? Assuming it's still around."

Cole nodded slightly. "...Sans and Caro were the first ones I think who...called me 'kid'. Well...no. Varric called me that too but...it wasn't quite the same. It was just a name, just a connection, but here it had meaning, weight. It...pulled. Hmm. ...I wonder what I would have become without them...if everyone kept seeing me as something weird, strange, off-putting, like they did at first..."

He just seemed to be sorting things out for himself, regardless, not really paying much attention to anything else and letting Arcade handle the walking.

Club Escape — Keep the change

Entering the nightclub was a strange experience. As much as he enjoyed a good party, Rex had never really been to a place like that before but he could somehow remember the lights, the loud music, and even part of the architecture as if he had been there before. Before one of his many reboots took care of deleting that. It was hard to tell if it was true, and maybe it didn't mean anything anyway. Seeing Makoto excited about the place quickly displaced those doubts and made him feel better about having jokingly proposed it.

But there was a detail she still hadn't taken care of. She was serious about following his suggestion of a wardrobe change and would make a short trip to the nearest bathroom to go through with it.

"Ok! I'll go ask for a drink!" he gave her a thumbs up and proceeded to look around the place. That VIP section of sorts upstairs looked interesting but all the doors that seemed to go to more private rooms were practically calling his name.

What was literally calling him was a robot, barely five feet tall and slightly barrel-shaped. It also had several arms—two of which were already pouring a cocktail shaker on a glass—and was apparently not thrilled by the sight of someone not drinking.

"What will you have, young lad?" its cheerful attitude stopped and its single red eye glowed brighter even under the intensity of its surroundings. "Don't you dare say water."

Not really knowing much about drinks, Rex went for the safest option.

"Uh... surprise me? But nothing with spiders. Or anything that's not edible. Just two norma—romantic drinks"

The robot seemed to nod and immediately started to work on the drinks. It spent the next minute or so completely silent while preparing the ingredients before its voice started to play again, this time like it was reading a pre-programmed line.

"Ah women, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em."

Rex awkwardly smiled and just played along, he didn't feel like bothering to argue with something that didn't look to be self-aware.

"...you know how it is"

lewis, outside, someone around here has embarrassing footage of that milk crisis

"It should be...I think it's a permanent fixture now, I was there a few days ago. On the uh, body switching one." I glanced away from the group.

"Oh yeah, I heard you mention that...who'd you roll anyway?"

"You..." God I felt dumb for being mad about that. "...Your capsaicin tolerance is sad, dude," I added as an afterthought, to take the edge off it before Arthur could really dwell on the implications.

"Yeah I, haven't been keeping up on that. Oops..." One got the sense that he was as aware of the awkward as I was and trying to take the opening to dodge it. Though in hindsight, I might've wanted to go for something else, given his main source of capsaicin had pretty much always been me.

An awkward silence.

"But...yeah. If everyone's just sorta lukewarm on the party thing, then..." At that point we happened to pass a new dad carrying his new son. "Oh, hey. Where're y'all headin'?"

Inside Club Escape

The bathroom wasn't difficult to find, and while Makoto expected it to be dirty since that was her perception of places like this, the fact that it probably only came into existence today kind of prevented that. Doug played with the water faucets as he waited on the nearby sink counter, and after a minute of making sure she had her outfit[1] on right, Makoto left the stall she'd been in.

It wasn't something she had in her closet at home, and she probably wouldn't wear it on any other occasion, but here there was a lot less to be embarrassed about. Odds were that she'd never see most of these people ever again, so who cared what they thought about her? Doug looked up and tilted his head, studying her. He then squeaked and held out the choker for her to take.

"Aww, thank you!" she said, putting the choker on. She caught Doug as he hopped off the counter, and then took him back out to the main dance floor. "Maybe we can find you a table to sit at..." she said to the Mimikyu. There was probably food too. Bars had fruit around for the drinks, right? Rex said he was getting a drink, so she checked over by the bar first to find him waiting for a robot to finish mixing something. "Oh, what are you ordering? I've, um...never gotten anything alcoholic before," she said to Rex, setting Doug on a bar stool.

Arcade wasn't sure if Cole really wanted his input on his thoughts, especially since he wasn't super clear on the more metaphysical stuff. He dealt with real things, not magic. So, he just sort of hummed encouragingly as Cole spoke, just to encourage him to keep thinking.

Their not-conversation was interrupted by a familiar voice, coming from a not very familiar face. There was a brief pause as Arcade tried to figure out what the hell happened to Lewis before deciding that it was probably a challenge that he was better off not knowing.

"We're trying to find the buffet," he replied, "get some... whatever meal is most appropriate for whatever time of day it is now." Was it still the morning? Afternoon? There wasn't a sun out, so he couldn't really tell.

Rean || Library

"I...I see." Rean said, trying to keep his attention away from the innuendos and the looks he was getting from the rest of the group. Maybe it was a better idea to just...not talk for a bit.

And then someone walked into the room who was even less subtle than Donut. Two took his comment about swords literally, and then drew her own in response.

"Uh, Two...I don't think he meant that kind of sword." Rean said, whispering in Two’s ear. She'd probably get it, right?

"I think I'm glad I skipped the body switch thing" Curly added in a vague attempt to fill the awkward silence.

Before long they ran into another pair in search of food. Curly looked a bit confused by the toddler at first, but she decided not to dwell on it and shrugged at the question of what mealtime it was. "Didn't get any breakfast, so that's what I'm aiming for."

Cole didn't have a lot more thoughts, at least as the moment, glancing over when Lewis and Curly joined them, and he tilted his head a bit. "Oh, Lewis, you're still human. Hello, Curly, it has been some time."

That said, he tilted his head back up towards Arcade. "I don't think a meal has to have a particular time. People have times they like, but in Skyhold there were always tables of food ready all day for the soldiers. You and I aren't soldiers anymore but we were, before, so I think we can eat whenever we want to without it having to be any kind of particular meal."

lewis, streets, nutrition advice

"Well actually, if you're not in danger of starving, the healthiest thing is to eat at consistent times each day so you don't take in more than you need, plus it boosts your metabolism so you have more energy." I held a declarative finger up before having the thought that I had not been doing that. "Geez, I'm not used to needing to eat anymore. But yeah, we were actually gonna get food too. We were leaning toward the buffet, though there's some guys partying at one of the balconies. Where I just was...I guess if you're interested you can drop in, though I don't know that it's kid friendly."

A beat.

"Then again, your kid already knows several things kids shouldn't. Oh, by the way." I held up the tablet to them. "You guys say hi."

"Uh...hey uh, um." Arthur waved meekly. "Lewis you didn't tell me who these people are. Er, my name's Arthur, and this is my friend's dog, Mystery. Except he's not actually a dog, he's a kitsune posing as a dog, so."

I would not assume they know what a kitsune is, Arthur.

"Oh yeah, fair...hey what's that little blob thing over—"

I had only that much warning before a tiny ragdoll suddenly pounced from a nearby alley to try and eat my hair yet again, and squeaked in surprise.

"Is that a shuppet."

Streets

Somehow, the quick expedition for food turned into a group effort, as Lewis and someone who seemed vaguely familiar named Curly were also looking for something to eat.

Arcade just kind of huffed a bit of laughter at Cole's observations. There wasn't really any need to correct him, especially after Lewis took over and went pretty in-depth.

When Lewis mentioned a party, he grimaced slightly. "I'm... not really a fan of big gatherings," he said, "the last one I went to ended up with me being hit on by a very drunk woman who thought I should sleep with literal fascists."

Having no idea who Arthur was other than someone Lewis knew, Arcade simply nodded back and replied, "I'm Arcade, and this is Cole." Was he supposed to introduce Cole as his son? Was that expected of him?

Compared to the terror of correctly introducing himself, the talking dog wasn't as nerve-wracking, nor the 'shuppet'. He was frankly used to this kind of stuff by now.

Club Escape — You could say he screwed up

Rex had already seen the outfit Makoto had picked out and was still surprised by how out of character it seemed. Despite that, actually seeing her wearing it caught him off guard and he couldn't come up with intelligible words for a second or two.

"You should really wear red more often... it brings out your eyes"

That was far from the only compliment Rex was planning on giving her but in a place like this it was better not to voice his feelings so loudly—even with the music silencing everything else. Besides, something told him they would come in handy later. He snapped a quick picture of her and Doug with his phone, maybe he had been too hasty in picking a new wallpaper.

"I'm framing that"

She was interested in knowing what kind of drink Rex had asked for, a question he couldn't really answer without revealing he didn't know either.

"Something special" he winked at the robotic bartender, who didn't even acknowledge his gesture. "And don't worry, nothing can hurt us today. But I suppose learning what's in it wouldn't hurt"

The robot finished pouring the drinks and placed an orange slice on the border of each glass.

"It's two thirds orange juice"

"See? That's healthy!" Rex said, taking one of the glasses and drinking from it. He hadn't noticed how thirsty he had been all day until now. "And refreshing too"

"Yeah, I just got back" Curly said with a chuckle, trying to ignore the impression that children should not be talking like that. But from what she could vaguely remember, Cole was kind of a weird duck to begin with.

She was almost glad to have a distraction from trying to figure out how familiar with the two she should be when the Shuppet attached itself. "Good thing it's break day" Curly chuckled, and hopped up to try and pull the ghost off Lewis' head.

Inside Club Escape—-First Cocktail

"Really...?" Makoto asked after Rex's compliment. "I don't have much red in my usual wardrobe but maybe I'll try it out." She remembered that she used to have a red hairband she wore all the time before switching to a different one. Perhaps she'd been onto something there. "Try to save some file space on your phone," she teased him, before picking up the other glass. Two thirds orange juice, huh? And the other third was what, some kind of alcohol? Probably. Rex didn't even flinch after trying it, so maybe it wasn't too rough.

"It can't be that bad..." Makoto took a sip and mostly picked up on the orange juice and a slight amount of salt. There was another flavor in there, one that tempered out the sweetness more, but since it didn't burn or sting going down, she had no idea what it was. "You're right, it's good!" She took a longer drink before setting the glass down. "I thought it'd taste much worse than that. Um..." Makot looked at the robot server. "Could we also get a glass of water and some fruit by itself?" Doug whined and reached for her glass, and she slid it away from him. "No, this isn't the kind of juice you'd like. You can have the water."

Did you finally talk to him about why he killed you and make it better? I told you that was going to help. Don't worry, Arthur, if that is you, I would have killed Lewis if I thought he wasn't able to become someone good again."

"Ew, fandom," I mumbled, holding out a hand to gesture to Curly that Cascabel's vicious assault wasn't that big a deal. "Uh yeah, it is. It sorta went up to me one day and a dude told me to catch it. Its name's Cascabel." That those two events were not back to back probably wasn't too relevant, right? I petted the pesky pokémon, a little harder than usual so as to annoy it into coming down.

"Huh...well hey there, Casca. And you..." He looked at Cole, slipping into a crappy talking to small children voice. "Cole, right? That's a very cute hat, where did uhh..." He stopped as said small child casually pried into the death thing, looking bewildered and kinda disturbed.

"...What the fuck."

Club Escape — Free-range parenting

"I'm spending it on something special. I hope you like them" Rex said, looking at the photos he had taken of Makoto. He would certainly make that number grow bigger by the end of his stay.

Makoto's hesitation to drink alcohol slowly went away as she saw how it wasn't really affecting Rex. And once she tried it herself she seemed to really like it. He had chosen wisely.

"See? You need to get out of your comfort zone more often. I'll have another"

The robot immediately refilled the glass and listened to Makoto's request with what could only be described as... anger. At least its voice sounded like that..

"Here you have, teetotaler"

Two of the robotic arms pulled out a watermelon, some bananas, and a single orange on the table. Then a glass full of ice cubes that the robot not so carefully blended into water with the blades that sprouted from its 'hand'. Rex kept drinking from his own glass and laughed at Doug wanting to join in the fun, and Makoto's effort to stop him from doing so.

"Come on, it's just juice. Let the kid have some fun"

Outside the Library

It looked Ben was glad to see Hercules because he was smiling widely at him. "Good to see you too." Herc replied back glad that his friend was doing better than he was previously.

Apparently there was going to be a party up at one of the balconies in the City. Herc personally hadn't been up there since he first arrived and the party seemed interesting to him and was intrigued at the very least.

"Sure I'm up for it." Hercules then said pretty much seeing that Ben needed some company considering what happened earlier in the Library.
