Book 17.5: Fourth Wall

[savedtheworld]

[Behold Aang, the young air nomad. Physically 15 and now mentally about 16, he's grown quite a bit from his time in the Hundred Year War.

Today seemed like a good day to visit the library. He found out from Duck that there were stories out there where the characters came to life and left the story. So now he's checking around to see if he can find any books like this. Only to find unexpected visitors of a different variety...

Alternately? He can be found out in front of House 56, deep in meditation, trying to see if he can reach his past lives...]

[He blinks.]

Did you come out of a book?

[crystal_stasis]

I-I'm sorry?

I don't get what you're asking....

[savedtheworld]

You know! If you live in a storybook or something...

[He reaches down for an open book on the floor nearest her feet. And winds up holding up a copy of Hansel and Gretel.]

Any of this ring a bell for you?

[crystal_stasis]

Uhm... No I'm sorry. I'm from a place called Bodhum.

[savedtheworld]

Bodhum...? I never heard of that story. Maybe I just haven't noticed it! [He says as he turns to look through the books on the nearest shelf.]

[crystal_stasis]

Uhm... It's not from a story. [She's not exactly sure why he's so insistent that they're in a story unless...] Wait. Are we in a story right now?

[It made no sense, but nothing has made sense so far.]

[savedtheworld]

Are you sure you're not from a story? [He shrugs.] No, we're not in a story right now. That's why all the books are here. You can't have books when you're already inside a book. How would they fit?

[crystal_stasis]

I'm sure. [Although she couldn't help but laugh a little to that.] Well, I'm sure that stories have books in them sometimes.

[savedtheworld]

I guess you're right... [He rubs is head.] This is all just getting confusing! Are we in a book right now?

[crystal_stasis]

I wouldn't know the answer to that. I just got here myself.

Oh, my name is Serah.
