Canon is Twin Peaks

[specialagentcooper]

Mundane,

I believe there is a time and a place for just about anything. A cup of coffee. A hike in the woods. Arresting a suspect in a crime. Even jumping from one reality to another. While I am aware of why my services will benefit this Library, you may want to reconsider the state of my person when I arrive. Immediately after being shot three times and receiving several broken ribs, I will not be in the best condition to aide these fine people in repairing their library.

Considerin' how screwed up your world is, I think they'll forgive ya.

Are rare one indeed

[specialagentcooper]

Forgiveness is not my concern here. As I understand it, my reality will not reflect my absence. If there goal is to assist, especially by way of physical labor, pulling me from immediately after a possibly fatal injury is not the wisest choice.

[flowing_kinetics]

Ah, I get it.

[Akira doesn't quite have that problem, in two ways, but he's at least sympathetic for those that do.]

Dunno why she'd wanna bring you in like that anyway. Ain't like they can do much with us when we're that bad hurt.

[wills]

S -- seriously?! That's awful! How can your mun take you from a place like that? I mean, it doesn't seem like you'd be in a lot of danger in a library, but... But it's still awful!

[specialagentcooper]

I am told that this place possesses superb restorative properties. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

[specialagentcooper]

I believe she has her reasons that tie directly into my personal growth while there. Either that, or she would prefer I be in a tuxedo when I arrive rather than my usual black suit.

As for the safety of such a place, do not be mislead. While it does house a great number of books, I am told it also hosts a number of creatures than can only be described as monsters.

[Russell is just going to stare for a second. Because really? People really talk like that? He shakes his head.]

I have to agree you at least, you don't wanna show up there shot to shit. We don't have anyone that can really heal you once you get there either.

Your mun's a sadistic one, wantin' to send you here when you're like that.

[specialagentcooper]

[ Yes sir, they do. When their name is Dale Cooper. ]

That's good to know. Perhaps I could at least convince her to adjust the time frame by just a few moments. Even if it were to be the moment after the trigger is pulled, before the bullets make contact. That would make for a rather jarring re-entry, but will serve me better in the long run.

[blueeyedhunter]

[Well then]

Yeah, I think that'd freak me the fuck out, but it'd be better than havin' to get emergency first aid in the middle of a dusty library and no hospital.

[specialagentcooper]

[ Cooper can really get on a roll when he wants to. ]

Given that in my current state, I can be fully aware of the events that would happen to me after being shot, I know that I will be requiring immediate medical attention. With this information in hand, I will double my efforts in seeking out an alternative point in time to be pulled from. It would not serve anyone if I were to arrive, only to die of blood loss or shock.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, I realize now that this is a singular and unique experience. To exist, even if for a moment, outside of any reality that I have known, or will know. That what I do and say here will never carry into any lasting reality. I will not remember it or any of the people I speak to.

Not only that, but in being in such a state of existence, I am aware of things that I will never have the chance to know again. Not only am I able to perceive the course my own life will take, up to a certain point, but also the state of the world as a whole.

There is much that can change within two decades. For both good and bad. This is not an area I should look into, even if I will not remember it for long. It is a path that can only lead to sadness.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, Came to a startling realization. Have been investigating all the information available on this Library I am bound for. In such a reality, I am a fictional character, as is everyone else. From a book, no less, written in a language I will be unable to read.

But that is not the only reality in which I am mere fiction. This knowledge causes a great deal of psychic dissonance that leaves me rather uncomfortable. Think I would be better suited to investigating realities in physically or mentally inhabit.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, the idea of a world wide network that is available to everyone is fascinating. Not only without phone lines, but without any wires at all. On devices as small as the tape recorder I am speaking into. To have such immediate access to so many people and so many various cultures must be an enlightening experience. Perhaps my previous assessment of bleakness was misled.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, I fear my initial assessment was accurate, but understated. It would seem that in having immediate access to a great deal of information has caused a collective breakdown in mental faculties. I am reminded of my days in college. Imagine of everyone were to communicate as though in the middle of fraternity party and treat one another as though they were new inductees. I fear I have touched only the tip of the iceberg of the verbal and textual brutality that exists between these people.

There are, however, signs that intelligence still does exist. I will continue my investigations into this area. There must be something of merit within something so vast.

[blueeyedhunter]

[Russell blinks for a second. That was... a bit roundabout wasn't it Coop? (Yes, you're Coop now, hush)]

Yeah. Good luck though, muns can be awful stubborn about things like this.

[flowing_kinetics]

Could be. Ain't much of a drawback if you start healin' quick from it.

[wills]

Monsters in a library? Who would even do that?! Look, Mr. -- uh, didn't catch your name, but -- you've gotta trade in your mundane, or... something. The last thing you want is someone who's out to put you in the worst possible situation.

Trust me on this one. No good'll come of it.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, spent the night investigating this global web that I now know to be called The Internet. All of my previous assessments have been right on the money. It serves to amplify all that I have known to be true about people. While it shows what depths of cruelty and evil people are capable of, it also elevates the good in people. However, I limited my research to observation alone. The next step is participation. But I must select my entry point. I believe there to be many subtle rules that I am as yet unaware of.

[specialagentcooper]

It does not seem that it will be immediate. Perhaps days instead of weeks.

[flowing_kinetics]

'bout how mine works, I guess.

[specialagentcooper]

Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Dale Cooper.

While this will be a bad situation, I would not say that it will be the worst. I will still have my bullet proof vest, my firearm and all the tools a field agent needs.

[specialagentcooper]

[Many people call him Coop. His boss, colleagues and friends included. ]

I believe we can come to some form of agreement over this matter.

[specialagentcooper]

However, a potentially fatal wound, even with such accelerated recovery time will still require medical aide. I have recently been informed that this Library is lacking in such care. I have begun negotiations for consideration of a different moment in my life.

[specialagentcooper]

Diane, I have selected a community known as Four Chan as my point of entry.
