13th Edition :: It's all for you, Damien!

[mr_phale]

It should go without saying-- but, er, I'm saying it anyway-- that everything I said the other day was utter nonsense. I'm not evil incarnate though I could tell you a not-so-funny story about someone who is, I don't eat babies, I've never spray-painted anything lime green-- nor any other color! and really I don't even like Gabriel and certainly

OMG! HI!

[mr_phale]

Well, er, hello!

Who or what is an omg...?

[bakurakrazie]

Well, it's short for 'Oh my G-d.'

[mr_phale]

Oh, I see... what an odd thing to need to abbreviate..

And, er, who are you?

[thornsmoke]

You know... while you're dawdling in the City, people back in your own world are setting bookshops on fire.

Lots of them.

[mr_phale]

That's positively awful... and yet not as surprising as I wish it were. Why this time?

I wish I could say I'd stop it if I could, but it doesn't really work that way. The best one can do is try to make sure nothing is irrevocably lost, you know?

[relieved_deity]

A influx of new faces are likely responsible for the strangeness.

[ooc; Because I always did want her to bug him at least once. <3]

[mr_phale]

There do seem to be quite a few... Is it another curse?

Somehow you seem familiar, though...

[ooc: <3 <3 <3!]

[relieved_deity]

Oh yes. The flood gates were opened. Even I couldn't resist dropping in to say hello.

Do I now?

[mr_phale]

In, er, a way that's difficult to pin do-- wait, but--

Ineffably, I might say.

Old books? New books? Several copies of the same book, should they be of varying translation?

The strangest one I have is a French Mormon Bible. I've no idea what it says.

[mr_phale]

Old books mostly, though new books are occasionally a joy. I like Wilde first editions, in particular. I prefer the original language when it's possible, though I've some translations as well, and a full set of the Infamous Bibles.

And, er. The Book of Revelation. The original, that is. Probably the finest piece I own. Certainly the pride of my collection. I've a lot of books of prophecy, actually; all signed by the authors. Most of them are quite nice individuals if a little peculiar, but seeing the end of the world will do that to you.

I find Mormons a little confusing to tell you the truth, but then again I've never been to America, perhaps it makes more sense over there.

[straitwaistcoat]

Wilde. You have very good taste, but I shouldn't be surprised. Infamous Bibles...?

A-as a dual citizen of the USA and England both, I don't think Mormons make sense to anyone but Mormons.

[mr_phale]

So-called because of some rather... unfortunate printer's errors. The Charing Cross Bible, the Standing Fishes Bible, the Unrighteous Bible-- Know Ye Not that the Unrighteous Shall Inherit the Kingdom of God? And of course the Buggre All This Bible pardon my language, which is less an error in printing than in labour management, one might say.

And, well, I don't know any Moroni but I certainly can't claim to know everyone, so I suppose as long as they're happy and not harming anyone there's not a problem? I'm afraid such matters aren't really my jurisdiction, you understand.

[its_the_voice]

I'm sure this is all very touching.

[mr_phale]

I really wouldn't want anyone to get the wrong idea, you know.

[its_the_voice]

Certainly not. And when will you pull out a harp and start strumming to go with all that overt good will?

[mr_phale]

Nothing wrong with good will. I don't even know how to play a harp, anyway.
