Pandimonium and Mimics
I wasn't expecting to suddenly be yanked away from Sloth's realm and thrown right back into the mimic's library.
Found a whole new section of the library I didn't know about. Boy were there a ton of those little fuckers. I killed at least a hundred. The hardest part honestly was finding food. Thankfully, some random terraces with gardens held a few small things growing. In no way filling, but better than nothing. I was starting to get hungry enough to attempt cooking a mimic—pretty sure it would have been disgusting.
I must have been running around fighting these things for at least two solid weeks before I was suddenly yoinked once again. This time, something must have happened as Sloth's energy interfered with whatever force likes to yank me around. I'm just going to start calling it the Shuffler, because it feels like I just get randomly shuffled to a new place.
Anyway! Getting distracted—I ended up back in Pride's garden. The sudden transition left me with displacement sickness, which allowed one of the otherwise easily dodged little book mimics to gnaw on my arm. Probably would have chewed down to my bone before I recovered, except it made the very fatal mistake of chewing on me in front of Pride.
All I can say is Pandemonium ensued. Not even exaggerating. Pride, Larin, Lani and myself ended up returning to this library, Pride having used his mirror as a portal. It was a casual trip, meant for us to easily deal with these simple little book mimics. Lani was already trying to burn it down, but I wanted to at least try to save the non-mimic books.
You know, I had spent months in this place, the first time I was lucky enough to be near a kitchen, though a lot of the food was spoiled. Then the couple of weeks the second time in a completely different area of the Library. The whole time, I was only ever attacked by the books. Just books. So imagine my surprise when a whole ass fucking bookshelf gulped down Pride!
Wtf? Did it just determine I wasn't worth it and let its babies gnaw on me while it saw Pride as something juicy? Fuck that shit.
Between Pride stabbing it with some kind of flaming sword from the inside, and me ripping it in two, Pride was rescued, mimic was killed.
Cool beans, end of story right?
Oh no. It's never that simple.
Because even as I was working to get Pride out, something happened to Lani and somehow one of the books turned into some kind of sword or something and stabbed her. I still don't understand any of it, but long story short, she was in serious danger. So now I was trying to save Lani, called on the Maw via the fork that was near Lani to try and help her.
I'm feeling guilty because I let her get hurt in the first place even after promising Seth I'd keep her safe. I also feel guilty because Larin was trying to help but with the 'help' being undead it was causing Lani to panic, making it all worse. Had to hip bump, or more accurately tail bump that dried up corpse out of the way. It was rude, and I hope I didn't hurt her feelings, but I figured I'd deal with it after the crisis was over.
So while I was concentrating on trying to channel Gluttony and give it a means to save Lani a bunch of shit happened. Seth showed up, compounding my guilt, though I'd probably have been beaten into a bloody mess if he'd thought I was at fault. I faintly heard Zara too. No idea how or why she was there, and I could smell something not quite right with Pride. I didn't get a chance to piece it together. I was too busy making sure Lani didn't die.
Don't know how long I was in that state, but I was snapped out of my meditative trance with Seth calling to me. Reluctantly I handed Lani over. I still wanted to help or protect her, but I know Seth would be better equipped to do so.
Anyway, I could finally take a moment to catch my breath and figure out what was happening to Pride right?
Nope.
We got yeeted back to the garden. Like I said. Pandemonium.
But hey, at least I wasn't bored.
