Walkman Entry It's time for me...and this Ari computer bot...I'll call it the Strawberry Bot, to look at these files. I've been avoiding it for too long, and while I still think Narrator's shouldn't have a back story, maybe this will help me figure out the Wizards' issues and see how to get you all out of the books. Dear Diary, Mother has been pushing me to pursue this project with her. It's something about reincarnation, or revival, or something like that? I don't really lis

J U N E 1st: RESURRECTION EXPERIMENT # ??? We believe there is a chance that the correct layout of candles may allow us to bring the peasants back from the afterlife. Narrator seems to have an odd 6th sense about the afterlife, but won't expand on the details. We are using the spiritual connection of the peasants* (note from Ariadne) ** (note from Narrator) to guide us to the correct candle arrangements. *note from Ariadne: aka, my HEROES *note from Narrator: aka, village idi

Well that was a terrible ending- Oh, what was that? Ariadne said these coordinates have taken us to some...black hole of sorts. I believe the ship can handle that sort of thing but...well. We can only hope we make it. I refuse to not complete yet another job on account of any of your safety. Lets hope we make it through. Ariadne would like to add that time can get strange with these things, so we may not know how we fared or where we are until November 1st. Hold onto your sea

Eight: The book held stories of peasants, in a land called Shelfla. These peasants, and their handler, seemed to be able to defy space and time- they could hop in and out of books, return from the dead, and save other planets. Could they save other worlds entirely? Travel fully to other dimensions? Could they come to the library, and help Hawthorne answer their questions? Hawthorne pondered these things, and, as if they had asked for it out loud, a paper and pen seemed to rol

five: Well peasants, this is a bit of a strange story. I'm only reading it as it's being sent to us. Each story part has new coordinates, which Ariadne has been using. Your guess is as good as mine as to how this specific set of story parts is going to end, and much less where we're going, but hey - they paid me in advance, so at least this time you all can't ruin my pay day. Again. I think I'd throw you out of the space ship if you managed that, actually. Free Space six: The

Three: Hawthorne grew from a sleepy, strange infant, to a quiet and stranger child. They could often be found 10 paces behind Librarian, and they learned quickly to read, write, and of course- shelve books. There were books Hawthorne was allowed to read, and books they were not allowed to read. Hawthorne wasn't sure why that was the case, nor why some rooms would be locked one day, and unlocked the next, but they accepted that this was simply How Things Were- in the way that

intro: Welcome back to the ship, peasants. We've been given a bit of a strange request. I have been hired to be the Narrator for a new story, but I am only to read parts of it to you at a time. I don't question when I'm being paid well, as we all know, so let's just settle in for the ride to our next planet, and get this over with. one: This is the story of Hawthorne. This story begins with a strange basket left on the footsteps of an even stranger library. This strange bask

Conclusion: I do not know why any of you idiots thought that Star narrating was my idea, something I agreed with, or something I encouraged. Do you see what happens when we think we are smart enough to make our own decisions? That's right. You crash the ship, and you upset me, and Ariadne. Mostly Ariadne. What if Strawberry Bot got hurt, what would you all have done then? We have crash landed on a new planet. As we exit the space ship, people approach us. They looked tired, a

Part 8: It looks like trouble is on the horizon. Because we all left in such a hurry after the whole thing with the Wizard, Ariadne may or may not have calculated the spacey gravity landing thingies correctly. She told me the technical terms, but I think we all know none of us would under stand it. She does want us to find some parts for the ship though...I guess she's going to work on the ship while it's in air? That doesn't seem...ideal. This is your Pilot Star, you can exp

Part 5: I guess we should get back to me actually narrating and not bossing all of you around to do chores, or something. Ariadne has been hard at work on her little computer thingy, and we finally have received a signal from a new world. It looks like you all have another place that you'll need to save. Hopefully it doesn't take three years this time! Did I sound like Narrator just then? This new world looks like someone has decided to make it a rule that you're not allowed

Part 3: So, bad news. Narrator wants all of us to clean, and that actually means she wants all of you to clean. Not me, I don't clean, that's very much not my job. But you all are probably not even supposed to be on this ship, so time for you to get to cleaning! Do you have books on cleaning? Surely you all have something you could use here that would help you clean...Narrator said you have just a few days to get this done so, good luck. Part 4: Quick emergency babies! Strawb

Part One: hiii everyone. I’m Star, I met all of you wonderful little things last summer when I was reading your cards for you! Our sweetie Narrator is busy pretending she doesn’t want to be here, so I’m doing her job this year. I hope you trust me with this very important task the way Narrator definitely also does. She definitely knows that I am doing this. :) Anyways! We are trying to find a new planet to help save! Just like all of you did with Shelfla. And you did save She

Our journey predicted, we know it will be long and full of ups and downs, but when isn't it? Feels like we'll never finish this job, and I'll never get paid and get rid of you. Ariadne has been packing too many clothes for this journey, and she's making sure all of you have your supplies. She is entirely too excited as this is the first time we all are going on the journey together...all alive, and whatnot... For now. Well, peasants. I'll see you again in November. I hope you

the moon The final card is turned, and Star gives us a nervous glance. This just confirms my suspicions about her. "The moon reveals a lot, anxieties, illusions. But it also speaks to our intuition, something we should look closely at, and listen to. It's even how we do these readings." I give her my best scowl and ask, "So, will we rescue Madame Graves? Or is this just another dead end quest where I won't get paid." Star smiles at me, and I think I found someone I dislike mo

the sun The next card is flipped, and Star smiles sweetly at us. "The sun, a refreshing card. It really seems the first half of this journey will be hard, but that you will find abundance and success after all. We only have one more card after this, so this is a really encouraging thing to see near the end." "So, we'll get my mother back?" Ariadne asks, seemingly not very invested, which feels like the opposite of my strawberry scented weirdo, but her relationship with her mo

the star Star rolls her shoulders back and gives a bright smile to you peasants, "Here's hoping this one's bad luck doesn't spread to the rest of the reading, right?" She's beaming at all of you, and even Ariadne has a laugh. I resent this comment. I don't know why I'm considered the bad luck here when it's clearly all of you peasants fault that we still haven't finished this journey. She flips the card and her smile gets even bigger, "The Star! This is my favorite card, if y
