1st leaf | [video/text]

[The video turns on at first to show a kid that...well, he looks a lot like Dave Strider, except not. No shades, lighter skin, lighter hair, purple eyes...hell, he looks just as much like Rose Lalonde. He looks angry, unamused, and very, very tired. With a very new side dose of slight surprise at realizing the video had already begun recording.]

Ugh, I knew that I should have just gone with text...

[Said quietly, mostly to himself. More like a more erudite, non-Texan Dave. With an echo? Huh. Must just be the mic. Yeah, sure. He cuts the feed, shortly followed by this message.]


i will readily admit that being pulled from a null universe doomed to be yet another footnote in the annals of paradox space and into whatever dimension that this tower occupies was quite felicitous indeed
auspicious even
certainly adventitious if only by its very nature
and i suppose that i owe our assuredly ever so gracious hosts some credit in that regard
however
i have business to attend to in the incipisphere
more specifically the land of crystal and mirage
and i will simply not be kept from it
so i believe that my first order of business will be to proceed to aggrieve aggress and attack
until i have stolen away the secrets that this infernal place has to hide
as i said to strider once before
lets rock the fucking house

yes im well aware of my penchant for loquaciousness though we all thank you for your dedication to pointing out the obvious
well done
our hopes ride on your shoulders do not let us down brave warrior

as for the instance of house i havent the slightest idea what you could mean
houses are always blue
just as minotaurs are red

really now this is basic level material do try to keep up

precisely

and once again on the contrary
house house house
minotaur minotaur minotaur labyrinth

behold
its all there in black and white clear as crystal
you stole fizzy lifting drinks and bumped into the ceiling
which must now be washed and sterilized
so you get nothing
you lose
good day sir

[tortileghostwriter]

because houses are blue

its very simple
the red struck passages indicate things that zampano attempted to strike from the manuscript entirely but that johnny painstakingly restored
honestly now read the book i cant be expected to walk you through all of this

text

[princesspowaful.livejournal.com]

i dun wanna read the book can u give me a sumary?
whos zampano
n johnny??

text

[tortileghostwriter]

its not a book
its a maze
its not a maze
its a house of leaves

zampano is the blind man who led us to his house of blue
johnny is the initial editor and a walker in shadow
and certainly a minotaur

im certain you can find it in the library here
simply remember one thing

this is not for you

[yeah this is not a good time for him and the novelty of trolling you passed pretty quickly...]

good day
