[Orcelito wants to further investigate and challenge that first comment, but his attention is caught by the second.]

By storied individuals… you mean fiction writers? [Orcelito lowers the quill, thoughtful. There’s a new consideration… he’s been thinking about record-keeping not creative writing, and so have most of the others here.] I haven’t met any yet.

[He raises the quill to his chin.] But everyone here has stories to tell. We’re from different worlds and each world has its own legends and histories. I’m sure if you ask, those here might be willing to share their stories with you. [And ask politely, instead of, you know, sneaking around frightening people.]

But the stories will need to be told verbally. We don’t have enough ink and paper to stretch to creative endeavors.
