The only thing this dimension does well is show its ass. We might as well applaud it! - Albert Burneko

Well, this game happened.

I like how we've gone from "Let's hand out messages to the past from all our friends and make a treaty of goodwill between two future factions" to "We can't tell Patchouli her experiment will blow up, even though we're trying to prevent that from happening". Kind of mirroring Keine's response here.
<mauvecow> see this is how evil works in reality, it just wears you down with bureaucracy until you don't care anymore

Originally, the library exploded with both of you inside; Patchouli recovered, but Keine was..." Grimace. "She was never quite the same. The moment a bookcase fell on Keine during the explosion, I was pulled a thousand years into the future. From my perspective, I've been there for days. It's quite a long story, but with this, the crisis should be averted."

It's worth noting that... once we have a minute, we have some questions for Keine.

>Look towards Patchouli. "I have a scroll your future self wrote that you can see later, if that will convince you." Grin.  "Just don't go in the library for awhile. If it doesn't explode soon, I presume it happens directly from you messing with your experiment, in which case I'd recommend either ceasing, or continuing somewhere outside."
>Look towards Keine. "Can we talk elsewhere for a moment? And, my apologies for the grim statement. Crisis averted... it's just been a rough few days. Saving history itself is no walk in the park, even if it did involve lots of walking."
