Prompt 7: Mini Boss Battle
In the middle of the night, a mouse approaches all of us. This small creature can speak, and it offers us a temptation - special edition books that have never been seen before. They are signed, they are special, and they are tempting...
Your first mini boss battle? You must resist this temptation. An almost impossible task for all of you, I know.
1. Special Edition Simps - read a special edition of a book you've been putting off
2. Spatial Blindness - read a book that doesn't fit on your bookshelf
3. Kindle Kryptonite - read the oldest book that's been sitting in your kindle TBR
4. Victim of the Remember - read a book that you can't remember why you have it
If none apply, select a book at random.
Prompt 8
As morning arises and we have resisted temptation, it's time to tell the Advisor about the mouse from last night. The Advisor shakes his head, he already knows about this problem. There is, apparently, a secret black market within the mouseholes around the kingdom. The Advisor believes this is how everyone is continuing to get books, despite there being a halt on book production and purchasing until the curse is broken. The Advisor knows how to get us into this black market, and all we have to do is go talk to an Alchemist.
Of course, Ariadne is just excited to go talk to a scientist, which sounds about right.
Prompt 9
The Alchemist is a nervous but kind looking teenager. This surprises all of us, because when you hear Alchemist, you think, y'know, an adult. Usually an old man. But anyway, he's a teenager. He is happy to hear that you're willing to help with the curse, as it's impossible to make potions if he hasn't memorized them already. Luckily, the shrinking potion he knows. Suspicious, if you ask me. How come he's the only one who knows how to do this? Is he in on it? Anyway, you all take the potion because you never second guess strange things being handed to you, I guess.
