SHRIEKING SKULLS WILL SHOCK YOUR SOUL AND SEAL YOUR DOOM TONIGHT

[acherontiastyx]

[After 10:00 p.m., the library's... definitely a little different. The tables have lit candles on them, and there are... kind of janky cardboard cutouts set on some of the shelves. An attempt was made, at least, even if there could've been more boxes destroyed in the attempt...

But regardless. There's candles set around a place for some snacks if anyone wants to bring them, and there's also a blanket set on one of the tables. Because clearly, that's where the storyteller's supposed to sit...? Maybe you wanna do it. Maybe you just want to stand or sit or something.

Either way, let's get fucking spooky up in here.]

Demons and spirits, same as anyone else. Dragons, if you're lucky. [He lifted his brows, a smirk spreading across his lips.]

How about the darkspawn, mmm?

[acherontiastyx]

Yeah, I guess you can say we have all of these, I guess. Except darkspawn. What the heck's that? It sounds pretty metal.

[neverheardofhim]

Metal. That's a word for it.

[He shook his head. He doubted anyone had something quite like the darkspawn.]

Undead things that spread a disease that'll make you just like them. Every few centuries, they'll amass an army, dig up a big, undead dragon, and together they try to wipe out the whole blighted world.

[acherontiastyx]

Whoa. That's nuts, yo. Like, do you get a ten year old to take care of things, then?

[neverheardofhim]

Just a soon-to-be king with the brains of a ten year old.

[acherontiastyx]

Ohhh. Ain't that always the problem with royalty.

[neverheardofhim]

He's a decent enough man. Just... desperately in need of decent advisers, it would seem.

I'd take him over anyone else though.

[acherontiastyx]

Well, yeah. Like I said, the problem with royalty. Sure, the person who starts the line off probably knows their stuff... but maybe they suck at parenting. Maybe their kids aren't up to it. Or maybe it's fine for a few generations until you get someone whose brains can't handle the stress of making decisions for themselves.
