lil enters and says, "Is this seat taken? Are you waiting for anyone?"

"Why, are you - are you the famous field agent Lilian Snow?"

"I have been mistaken for her. Indeed, I am also mistaken for a mysterious and powerful librarian. At the end of the day, however, I'm just a drinker in the pub looking for questions looking for answers. Were you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I am - or at least rather, I believe I may be. You see, the other day I received this mysterious postcard:

And now, as I was strolling through the streets of Hubski, just now, I felt a most particular urge, as if I ought to come in here and wait for someone. It seemed to emanate - from the postcard itself! I can only imagine it must be some kind of compulsion, set upon the object by its mystical sender.

When you entered, the feeling ceased. So let us talk. What is on your mind?"

(OOC: my power has just gone out and I'd really like it to come back on?)

I received strange card as well. It depicts a Canadian brilliance overwhelming the universe. The Great White North has become an arid desert; Greenland and Baffin Island have defrosted and sunk.

A mysterious inscription is the only clue as to how to understand this Earth-finishing image. Could it be an anagram for the DAMNED FUN OIL which overwarmed the globe? Or a warning, FILM NO UNDEAD from a zombie cohort tired of Hollywood stereotypes? Or some kind of cruel joke, O FINE MUD LAND.

I love that beer!

I picked it up for a hubski beerathon and turned the panels of the box into a postcard.

This very moment, as your power goes out, my powers get greater. I am channelling a poetry workshop with Mark Doty. Have you heard of him? Did I say channelling? I meant hosting.

This is indeed very exciting for you. Will you do a write-up for us afterwards perhaps? Or blog about it? Or tell me it all about it? And impact the wisdom you have gained on me?
