to all;

Hey, guys. Good morning, or... afternoon. Evening? Does Abraxas have different time zones? I'm not actually sure how that works here, so I guess good whatever time of day it is wherever you are in the world. I'm Jack.

Some of you might have seen me around the libraries in Castle Thorne, and for good reason. That's mostly what I do. I'm a reader.

Well, and a blogger, and a gas station attendant-slash-owner, but I haven't really figured out how to translate those last two things over just yet. There's something especially horrifying about the idea of refueling horses at gas pumps, and I'm pretty sure none of you guys would like it if I slammed you with a wall of text in the middle of your day like I would when I updated my blog.

Which is exactly what I'm doing now. The irony is not lost on me. Sorry.

The point is, I'm looking for stuff to read. The libraries here are great, don't get me wrong, but the contents aren't my usual style. I'm more into the campy two dollar trash fiction of the sci-fi paperback persuasion, but I'll also take the classics! Agatha Christie, JK Rowling (at least, before she turned out to be a horrible fucking person), Tolkien. Anything from Chronicles of Narnia to Killer Clowns from Outer Space Visit Erin Brockovich 2.

"How are we supposed to lend you a book that isn't written here?" you may be asking. Well, as it turns out, I've been re-reading tons of old books in the Horizon when I find myself there. I just can't seem to summon up anything new. I guess it only works with memories, or something? Anyway, if you have anything to share, I'd really appreciate it if you could swing by my gas station. I'll give you a discount.

Thanks.

Yeah, well, humans are usually wrong about things most of the time.

Blogging's just journalism for people who don't want to do actual research. It's only viable as a medium if you have a really interesting life, or really good recipes you hide in between long walls of text about your vacation with your mother-in-law to your distant relatives in Italy that one time.

( This is what we call the 8-Mile tactic. Good luck roasting him if he preemptively roasts himself, Satan. )

"humans are usually wrong about things most of the time"

Look, something we can agree on.

most people do tbh

Great.
Did you have anything NOT terrible to say, or are you just here to do a bad job trolling me?

[thedevilwhorose]

Nope! I really didn't.

I only wanted to make sure you got some feedback.

[is that his way to be that "first comment" asshole? maybe. however that works with weird sparkletexts]

Bad feedback is better than shouting at a void.

[stations]

No. No, it's really not.

[thedevilwhorose]

To each his own.

[he sure would have wanted maybe something except for the occasional demon communication]
