Hello, everyone.

I've never been on a ship like this before. Or any ship, really, so I can't say for certain whether the person in charge is always so elusive when it comes to answering questions. I suspect he thinks it's all in good fun, making you believe one thing but telling you another. I don't think I understand his humor, though.

I'm a little concerned about having made a deal with him - he could be one of the Rotfang conspirators in disguise and is set on prolonging this journey indefinitely until all our worlds are nothing but dust and spores.

Is that why all of you are having such strange dreams?

Either way, I hope there's pudding involved. It makes death seem just a little bit cheerier. I think that's why people eat so much at funerals.

Ghosts must get very jealous during mealtimes.

Oh, it's fine! You're just getting your feet under you, after all.

[Giggle.]

My name is Chromie. I run the library here!

From:

whatthewrackspurt

I'm Luna. I haven't seen the library yet. Is it big?

From:

strangehistorian

It's nice to meet you!

Our collection is enormous, actually! We have books from every world ever represented on the Barge!

From:

whatthewrackspurt

Is that right? I'd like to visit sometime. When everything's not in a crisis.

From:

strangehistorian

It's always open! We have a few days until the next crisis, at least, so there's plenty of time.

From:

whatthewrackspurt

Oh, I like a library without restrictions. At Hogwarts we're not allowed in the library after hours.

From:

strangehistorian

We'll usually lock the doors at night so the staff can get some sleep, but if you're just in there to read it shouldn't be too much of a problem!

Are there spellbooks? I'd like to know what spells exist in other worlds. The ones with magic, of course.

From:

strangehistorian

Oh, yes! We have a whole section for them.

From:

whatthewrackspurt

That's good, then. Most people don't let Muggles read about magic.

From:

strangehistorian

On many worlds, magical aptitude is learned rather than genetic. Every human has magical potential on Azeroth, for example, but not many have the dedication to study and become proficient.

From:

whatthewrackspurt

If all humans can become witches or wizards in your world, then they must not be used to hiding.

From:

strangehistorian

Oh, not at all! Mages have their own universities and even cities! Dalaran is a neutral semi-independent state governed and run entirely by magic users.

From:

whatthewrackspurt

Dalaran. I've never heard of it.

From:

strangehistorian

Well, it's from my world! I wish I could take you to visit, it's a wonderful city.

From:

whatthewrackspurt

An entire city of witches and wizards? Even London has to be shared with Muggles.

From:

strangehistorian

I'm sure not everyone is magically adept, but certainly most people are! It's a place of learning and experimentation. Even the streetlamps are magic!
