"Oh, that makes a little more sense. But shouldn't it be from 1 to 10? Anyway... I would say... an 8.75 on the 1-10 scale, an 87.5 on the 1-100 scale."

The girl waves cheerily at the new arrival, smiling at the co-ruler of another realm. "Glad to have you here. I, Queen of the Scribes, am quite honored by your arrival." The scribe finishes off another scroll, handing it to yet another blob, which flew out the window as well. "As for your question... um...  what one quality would I choose for everybody on Earth to have? Answer would be... compassion or empathy, a good deal of it."

The dinosaur does not refrain from hugging everyone. Simultaneously. With his mouth. Because his arms are smol. And his head is HEUG.

After depositing everyone in a gross, entrail-smelling lump on the floor, he returns to the actual purpose of this place.

"IF YOU HAD TO PICK A FAVORITE DINOSAUR WHAT WOULD IT BE? ALSO WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOUR GREATEST WEAKNESS AS A WRITER IS, AND HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HOW TO OVERCOME IT?"
Seek Justice, Love Mercy, and walk humbly with your God.

At the dinosaur's mouth-hug, the scribe stiffens considerably, looking intensely uncomfortable. Cringing at the slime-like substance now on her, the scribe scribbles down a few things with not a quill, but an ornate-looking fountain pen engraved with gold and silver swirls. The ink is also a queer gold color as well. It's plain to see that this action takes a bit out of her in some way, even if she's only writing a sentence. As soon as she caps the pen, everybody is now dry again, though there is still quite a bit of T-Rex slobber. That she just waves her hand to get rid of. "Hmph."

"A favorite dinosaur?" the scribe asks, thinking for a moment before answering. "I remember that I had a fucking huge book of dinosaurs when I was in... I don't know... Kindergarten? First grade? But I remember one that always stood out to me. The therizinosaurus. Yeah, that'd be my fave. Greatest weakness... Uh... Well that would be a two things grouped together. The first would be my flow of ideas. Sometimes I get so many that I can't take care to write them down, sometimes I'm just stuck having writer's block for a month. And then I tend to not think things through. Yeah, that would be it. Not thinking things through. I don't take the time to carefully develop some ideas, so they end up... Bad. Wonky. Blegh. Ya get the point. How to overcome it would be thinking things through. Obviously. So I've tried to abstain from writing something right away and just writing stuff down, then planning things out, making sure that I know what the ending's going to be when I start. Then again, this sometimes makes it so that I suddenly want it to end another way and then I'm back to square one."

"Uh..." The scribe's eyes widen while she thinks of facts. "I'm obsessed with Vocaloid but not a weeb, I can never choose a favorite color but the combo of black and white usually ties with burgundy and hunter green, I don't like tying my hair up in a ponytail, I get sick easily, my favorite character of all time is Violetta Amouteru, my favorite villain of all time is Queen Levana Blackburn, I'm really insecure, my immediate family consists of five people, all but one of my cousins on my mother's side are guys, I can never keep a diary/journal, I'm a night owl(or as my friend's boyfriend likes to call me, an opossum), my favorite season is Autumn/Fall, once I got six gift cards for Barnes & Noble for my birthday, I'm irascible, my favorite subject in Vietnamese school is math, I finished all of the original Nancy Drew books in 3rd grade, I just learned how to ride a bike a few months ago, I WANTED CELAENA TO END UP WITH DORIAN, I'm an atheist, and... I'm wearing glasses that are being held together by a rubber band, thanks to my little sister."
