People be stealing the book from Karn? Tsk tsk.

Maddox raised an eyebrow when the Wes before him elected not to release Karn on the grounds that he stole the book. "Well..." he started, continuing to approach Wes. "That presents a problem. We need the book but you feel obliged by your duties to keep us from borrowing it." He stopped at the doorway, next to Sayuri. "This is quite the dilemma." He looked down at Sayuri, before pointing at Karn. "Go get the book from him." His gaze went back up to Wes now and he crossed his arms. "How dedicated to the Council are you?"

Oh no. My web browser decided to stop showing images.

Yeah Capsule Corp will respond. I honestly thought I would have more time tonight but I forgot that I have work in the morning so I'm heading to bed rather than getting the post up. But tomorrow afternoon I can get it done.

_Wes?_ Maddox stood up straight out of his combat stance, letting the Rune Knight in front of him fall to the ground without any further afflictions. Though there were still several left to dispatch, the name caught Maddox's attention. He looked down the hallway and into the room, letting his eyes confirm that the person Sayuri was talking to was indeed Wes. But there was a problem with that... His left fist shot out in a hard punch, hitting a Knight directly in the center of his chestplate. The metal dented severely from the blow and the man let out a loud gasp of air. Clearly the wind was knocked out of him as he was wheezing all the way to the floor. "Sayuri wait," Maddox instructed, beginning to walk down the hallway. He stopped by Karn, confirming also that he was indeed being pinned down by Gravity Magic. Two more Knights tried to flank Maddox and attack him at the same time, flinging fireballs at him, but the man took a step back and dodged the attack effortlessly. Maddox jumped to the man at his left, delivering an armor-denting kick to his abdomen and using that force to spring at the other Knight, giving him an identical present. With those two dispatched, combined with the work Sayuri and Karn put in, the Rune Knights were all on the ground in various states of incapacitation. "This isn't the right Wes," Maddox stated now that there was far less noise in the hallway, making sure everyone heard him. His eyes narrowed as he began walking toward the Wes in the room at the end of the hallway. "Release Karn." He pointed at the restrained beast, just in case Wes didn't know him by his name. After giving him that command he continued walking towards Sayuri and Wes. "I got it," Maddox spoke after a moment of silence. "I've figured out what is happening here." He stopped at the doorway, letting his red eyes take an unsettling glare upon the man called Wes. "You aren't from this world." Maddox finally closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "But... if you are Wes..." His eyes opened again, resuming his deadly serious expression. "I would like to have that book now. In case you aren't up-to-date, the person we are trying to retrieve is you."

I think it's fairly hinted that Wes switched places with his Edolas counterpart but in FT the switch between Lisanna and... Lisanna happened by coincidence. They were both coincidentally dying and at that same moment the Anima was doing its thing. So that doesn't mean that Wes died. But also doesn't mean that he's alive for sure. Just depends on the situations.

Pfft. Ain't no bother. Not like it kills me to fix a little mistake every now and then. Though it does increase the odds of me getting arthritis ever so slightly from all the pressing of keys on mah keyboard. :3

A'ight. Time to hit that edit button. Again.

I read the posts as Karn tried to get out of the room but was intercepted.

Well Maddox and Sayuri are right now just outside the room that Karn is in. So he's already got two redheads helping him out. Probably doesn't need three. XD
