    Summary

    “Stardust,” Loop says at last, unexpectedly gently. When you glance up, they’re looking away, picking at the—not skin—the gummy celestial membrane that covers the pads of their fingers. They don’t have a mouth, but if they did, it would be frowning. “I think you might need a break.”

    Haha!!!! Ahaha!!!!! Do you think???”

    Loop snaps their fingers. “I know what you need. A B plot!”

    “…A what?”

    You know. A B plot! Like in plays? It’s what the side characters get up to while more important people are off dying and falling in love and things!”

    [Isabeau still can't confess, and Siffrin needs to clear their head. Which means it's high time for a sidequest.]

    Summary

    On the 78th time loop, Loop was beginning to get exasperated.
    It was getting... concerning, now. At least 75 of these loops were not Siffrin getting stuck or whatever, no...
    Most of these loops just consisted of Siffrin starting from floor 2, BOOKING IT to the nearest tear, touching it, and then just going back to do it all again.
    In fact, Loop was certain Siffrin did just that 55 times in a row, now... oh, no, it's 56 now.
    And that was BEFORE Siffrin tried something similar on the first floor...

    Siffrin REALLY loves the idea of +5 HP per loop. Too much.
    Enough to spam hundreds of loops in response to an attack dealing 9999 damage...

    *Details to be discussed. Please turn to back page.

    Timeframe variable. Services and agreements variable upon the Ninth's request. An internship of this caliber is highly unprecedented and likely unheard of, but any information valuable to the Ninth and into the Tomb will remain undisclosed upon request; Primary experience and study is required as the Master Warden has already decided upon such being his final thesis prior to his end studies.

    No takebacks, no denials. Pleased to meet you.

    Palamedes Sextus, Heir to the Sixth and Master Warden
    and
    Camilla the Sixth, Cavalier Primary and Warden's Hand of the Library


    TO THE MASTER WARDEN:
    FORMALLY REJECTED.
