Hey Rin,

Do you want a copy of Boustar's Temporal-Line Theories of Marginal Realities or Malster's Time Upon the Stars? I haven't found Love and the Edge of Event Horizon yet.

Who is Rin?

[element_wizard]

Fuck.

He's a friend.

[janee]

Oh, that's nice! If I see the book anywhere I'll let you know.

I had a great time watching all of those movies.

[element_wizard]

Yeah. We met at an interdemensional bar a bit while ago.

That'd be really great of you. It's not published in a lot of realities which is why I've been having trouble finding it.

Me too! I'm glad we finally got to see them all together.

[janee]

Oh! Check my shop! It's full of things, the book might be there. How do you find interdimensional bars?

I'd do a movie marathon with you any time.

[element_wizard]

I'll check it out.

You've not found one before? I'm surprised, I would have thought someone like you would have stumbled upon them easily.

Me too.

[janee]

It was my Mom's, and she had a tendency to pick up things from all types.

...I may have but I've got memory issues.

[element_wizard]

So do I, but not books as much.

Well, I can show you the one I like to go to.

[janee]

We've got an overflowing shelf full of books.

Yes, thank you! I want to see it!

[oughtnot]

Hey Al,

Is this an either/or question or can I say yes to both? I haven't read either. Please give them to me.

Thanks,
Adrian

[element_wizard]

Sure, I can get you both.

I wasn't sure if you've read either.

The Boustar's is third edition, I haven't found the fourth edition yet so some of the theories might be a bit outdated, but that should be fun for you to point out all the mistakes.

I've got a friend who might have the Love on Edge, I need to check her shop.

[oughtnot]

You're the bomb diggity.

...I've just been informed that nobody else says bomb diggity anymore. Sorry.

[element_wizard]

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say 'bomb diggity' period.

At least nowhere I've been.

I've been told "Buggerfucknuts" isn't really a thing either.

[oughtnot]

Buggerfucknuts is obviously a perfectly acceptable compound word, dude. It doesn't have to be a thing, you just squish all the bits together and it becomes one.

[element_wizard]

And it's one of those words that can really express what you're feeling. It gets the idea across; emphasizes it, with only three words.

People don't seem to appreciate those kinds of words enough.

[oughtnot]

That's totally deep.

And I've been informed I have to stop talking like a surfer, which is no fun, but apparently we're worried about the impression we're making.

[element_wizard]

I don't mind it.

At least it's not text speak or, like, you know valley girl talk, fer sure.

[twofold_psyche]

Love and the Edge of Event Horizon?

Interesting text, I'd imagine. Your friend sounds well-read.

[element_wizard]

[Oh. Hell. Bugger.]

He likes multiversal and temporal theory.

[twofold_psyche]

[Intrigued]

And love, apparently. Or is that something less romantic than it sounds? Like Quark, Strangeness, and Charm?

[element_wizard]

[Nope. Nothing intriguing here.]

Who doesn't like love?

And there's definitely a lot of discussion of quarks, strange and charm in it, according to the description. I haven't read it yet but he expressed an interest in the book so I offered to try and find it for him.

[It is not at all, nope, not at all a romance novel.]

[twofold_psyche]

Cuckolded spouses, various deities and a good number of demonic entities. And of course all those people who never receive a card on St Valentines day, or a floral tribute at Naery'Enan.

[Who'd have ever thought Vahl listens to Hawkwind?]

So it's a multiversal and or temporal theory text? I might see if I can acquire a copy myself.

[element_wizard]

... Point.

Naery'Enan?

Yeah. At least it's discussed, I'm told. Like I said I've not read it before.

[Hard science fiction romance novel... he's not lying.]

[twofold_psyche]

It's an inter-realm festival of love on Keldra. If you find a red, black or purple flower, or a variegation of two or more of those colours, left mysteriously on your pillow one day... that will be why.

[And Vahl has no reason to think Alec is lying. At least not by email.]

Would you do me a favour and try to obtain two copies?

[element_wizard]

What do the colors mean?

[He wants to know these things.]

[Exactly. It's just books. And he's not asking about the friend so all's good. Also he's not lying. He never said it wasn't a romance.]

I can try, yeah.

I need to find the 4th edition of the Boustar's too. I could only get the third which is good in some places and widely outdated in others.
