I may or may not have friended @5-HAD-0...hes interesting with a good curious mind and kind. Oh i do hope we become friends,he may be valuable on adventures! Anyways I do have an idea for the books: Why not donate them to the PoorMagics Foundation? Also,if you leave textbooks around,put them in 100% Iron cages,except the floor. iron hurts them so they won't try to escape. I must get back to my studies,good day!

@Crystal Rosethorn, these are some really good suggestions for how to deal with my textbook situation. I'll definitely have to look into the PoorMagics Foundation sooner rather than later. The eggs are starting to move around some, which I think means they're close to hatching, so I hope I can find them a good home before things get out of hand. As for the iron cages, I'm not really sure where I can find those, or maybe I have to make them? Also, this morning, the chrysalis in the corner of my room was empty. I have no idea where the textbook that made it ran off to, and my other textbooks don't seem intent on keeping up polite interaction with me (except for my Demonic Baking textbook, which keeps trying to sleep in my bed). I wouldn't say I'm worried, but that's only because I'm not entirely sure what emotions are appropriate for different situations yet. Any advice on the subject would be welcome.

I'm currently searching the grounds for my lost textbook... it isn't going so well. After my classes got out I figured it would be easy to locate, but everyone I've asked has either started foaming at the mouth and hallucinating or was too busy setting up for Victorian Christmas to give me any help. Not that I blame them, Victorian Christmas is very important, but I'm worried about what the book might do. It has left behind some... interesting calling cards, namely a pile of half-eaten microfiche, various claw marks in the library shelves, and what I think was a paperweight (shaped like a book) with a tooth stuck in it. At least I know what to feed it now... I just hope I find it before it develops a taste for something a little livelier than paper.

A huge thanks to my new friend @Crystal Rosethorn for locating my rogue textbook. I encountered it asleep in the workshop just as you said it was, although as soon as I entered it awoke and proceeded to fly about the room in a satanic rage. It seems to have gotten much larger due to recent gorging on various items of school property, and (from what I can observe) is now able to cast spells with a level of skill that I didn't know textbooks could possess. It also talks, and demanded that I refer to it as "King Printerias of the Abyssal Library" before calling me a long list of rude names. Currently, I am standing outside of a nightmare vortex which it conjured up. I'm fine, but a number of the Christmas decorators have been sucked into said vortex and turned into faceless wraiths. I feel terrible, because I was really excited to go to Victorian Christmas and I know they put a lot of hard work into it, and now I really have to go because the wraiths don't look particularly happy and the book is glowing and oh no-

The ghost king,or well he prefers me to call him,is angry that there are so many people here,and none are as highly and magically advanced as he is. I suggest getting rid of him,but i'll need help doing so...its hard to gather ingredients like Fire root in winter,since it only grows in the summer,and only in my home lands...plus it will take a lot of magic out of me otherwise if i do it alone.
