[Oh no, Keep! According to what you're seeing in your journal, an entire room has been set ablaze! That, or the journal is simply on fire. Neither of these options are very pleasant, but luckily Calcifer is smart enough not to eat any, apparently magical, books without first knowing what they do! So rest easy. No harm shall come to your precious literature just yet.

Like a spooky spirit, a disembodied voice chimes in with quite some sass to his tone.]

I have to say, I've heard of wizards trying to con people or trick them into some cruel contracts. But trying to tell us the entire universe was unmade? That's some thick wool you're trying to pull over everyone's eyes, Deior.

[A faint crackle, like burning wood, is present in this voice; now giving a tired yet accepting sigh.]

Still, the book is an okay gift. You must have been following Howl 'n I to know my name, so maybe you're just a fan. It looks like there are other people here, according to this thing. Can anyone hear this? How long has this kidnapping thing been going on?

[Anyone hanging around the third floor of the barracks might just turn a corner and see a ball of fire hovering straight towards them! Once Calcifer manages to make it out of his room, he'll be roaming the halls, pausing to stare at one of the torches or some of the furniture occasionally.]

Dimension, yes, and probably not. Even a lack of information, or differing explanations for the same things wouldn't give the... ah, extremely diverging reality we both take for granted, as in the case of our stars.

[He still doesn't understand how the idea that stars would be living spirits (energy beings?) would work, but a different dimension... would be a different dimension.]

Hopefully, he will. It's never pleasant to end up somewhere unexpected all alone... The book is somewhat easy to miss, unless you're laid towards thoroughly exploring your surroundings, after all.

Wow, then... I feel like this would be much more amazing if we weren't meeting under these circumstances. Like I'm expected to have a world of questions for someone from an entirely different dimension...

[Calcifer can't wrap his head around the idea that stars wouldn't be alive somewhere.]

No, it's not pleasant at all. I should know. I don't think anyone's going to arrive here very pleased, to be honest.

[That causes Jetfire to chuckle a bit.]

I'm sure I, or whoever else you might want to ask questions of, would be willing to answer them if you come up with some later. We do have... time... after all.

[Unfortunately.]

If they do, I assume the situation that they came from would either be quite exceptional, or particularly dismal, so that this would be the better choice.

I'll be sure to memorize some, then. This is a pretty important thing, after all. But we're probably not the only two here that are from different dimensions, are we? Any residents with particularly hostile backgrounds?

[If he's gonna be settling in, he'll need to know what to watch out for.]

I believe the majority of... ah, guests here come from different dimensions; only a few ever share the same. Most are alone, or have one or two from their own realities.

[The last question has Jetfire frowning in thought, before he slowly shakes his helm.]

None as I am aware, but that wouldn't necessarily mean there are none. There's been... circumstances and situations of death and killing, but we don't know who until after they've been... punished, for it.
