h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Good Morning Lady Syian, and how might you be?

*looks over at him in surprise, why is he being so civil?*

I am well

*smiles*

Good.

I speak like this to imtimidate others. Usually works.

You do not intimidate me, merely surprise me.

*glances over at the old tome he is reading*

I suppose you are wondering how I can read with my...condition.

No, why should it?

Most people find unusual, a blind man reading a book.

I find nothing unusual, this least of all.

I suppose that like me you have 'seen' enough to make the most unusual things normal?

Yes, I have seen a good deal in my life, I am no longer surprised at the unusual.

*looks at him guardedly*

*Lumien walks in, looking a bit pale, and clutching her stomach. She sees the Lord Curmanis and a necromancer, and gives them a polite wave and a shy smile before disappearing into the Healers section.*

*the chandelere shakes violently for a few seconds, and then stops*

*The chandelier shaking startles Lumien for a moment. Her stomach gives another twinge.*

Oogh... I haven't felt like this since... since...

*Lumien suddenly goes pale again, and runs out the door.*

*stiffens*

Lord Craxus wants all magicians to head out to outpost Kalsho. We must leave.

*stands up, puts books back on shelf and leaves for stables*

*sticks head back around door*

Do you want a lift, Lady Syian?

Yes, that would be good

Let's Roll then.

*heads out to stables*

*follows him to the stables*

*comes, sorts through a shelf of scrolls, and pulls otu a fireball scroll*
*sits down, studies it a minute, and then spends the next 45 minutes copying it into his spellbook carefully*
*leaves*

*Tiamat, in his blue robes and hat enters the Library, proceeds to the apprentice wing, grabs a scroll on blue magic, sits in a large comfy chair, and starts reading*
